Proposes Eight '/Months School RESOLUTIONS EXCLUDES AD VALOREM TAX Claim* It Would Bare Tax Payer* $8,000,000, in Economic* and Solicitors? Senate Han Bony Day Raleigh, Feb. 1. ? -An alght month school term for all the .children of North Carolina sup ported by other than ad valorem tax, was plunked down In the general assembly as a direct Is sue to da/, fully a week earlier than wag expected, when Senator MacLean school law of the 1&31 assembly and his colleague, Sen ator Bailey, of Washington, In troduced a resolution which, If passed, would make it mandatory upon thlB legislature to provide that school opportunity where It is wanted. It* means a wiping out , of thousands of special school dis trict lines, consolidations and economies which will bring to the taxpayers at home who are how paying for extended terms, relief, of at least 93, 000, 000, the Intro ducers of the bill claim. Busy Session Held. The senate which received this resolution, likewise In other ways did a big day's work. It cat $20,000 from the salar ies of the solicitors In the 20 North Carolina judicial districts, compromising with the reorgani zation committee by going only part of the way with it in its re commendations tor paring the prosecuting officers salaries. . It abolished the North Carolina park commission and placed the duties of this board about whoee operations Senator Burgln said there are floating unwholesome rumors, upon the conservation and development board. It put Cumberland county which has at Its heart one of North Carolina's oldest trading centers, Fayettevllle. on the scrip basis by authorising the county government to issue scrip to Its employes and for such goods as it needs; scrip that Is not to be Is sued for longer than 12 months and which Is taxed 2 per cent of its face value for every time It transfers ownership. > Denomina tions of the country's money shall not exceed $10. An adjournment a few minutes before 2 o'clock upon motion of Senator Klrkpatrlck saver the corporation commission further embarrassment. The reorganiza tion committee's bill 19 cut this department qt fUte from the gov ernment was being explained by Senator Moore when the motion to adjourn came. It did not come soon enoagh. however, to prevent Senator -Mop re from hav ing" the aboliah?r mjkde the first order of the publta calendar to morrow. Measure Is Questioned ' There wjll be objection to the passage of the bill that cuts off the corporation commission as was shown by the questions shot at the proponents of the bill In the few minutes that It was dis cussed today. The questions with which doubtful senators seem to be con certed Just now are these: will the act which replaces three members of Xhe corporation commission with one utilities commissioner really save the sal aries of two commissioners Inas much as the proposed act provides for the drafting of Superior oourt judges to asslit the commissioner upon certain occasions? I? It a step toward Jthe short s=r*0*1 . <1 '"Will It place too much central ? teed- power In the hands of, the utilities commissioner, who li to ?t be appointed by Xhe governor? Senator Moore a few seconds before he was cut off by the Ad journment resolution said that he thought he could answer to the satisfaction of the senate these questions and any others thst might arise. The Infallibility of the reorganisation committee, if It ever existed In the jnlnds of any members of the senate was dispelled today with the amend ing of Its measure docking the solicitors. !t may reverse the judgment of the committee tomorrow on the bill to abolish the corporation commission or It may not. Any body's guess was good here to ? night. The School Resolution The MacLean-Bailey resolution for the eight-month school fil lows: _ r "Whereas, there Is ?ow In op eration In the state a' dual sys / tent of school*, consisting of a uniform term of six months sup ported by the stato. arid tupple mentod by ad valorem Itrifi. and various extended terms In oertajn Prize Winners The following; contestants were winners of the prizes awarded In the Mlspelled Word Contest run In the Franklin Times by the K.
