Need ham. SENATOR INGRAM'S SCHOOL SUPER VISION BILL The Times-News has received from Sen ator Henry L. Ingram of Randolph county a copy of his bill to abolish county boards of education, and the offices of county su perintendents, rural supervisors and at tendance officers in the one hundred coun ties of the State, and the setting up of thirty divisions for the administration oi" public school business. Under this system there would be thirty division boards of education and thirty division superintend ents of education. Senator Ingram claims his plan would reduce the costs of public school adminis tration in the State to the amount of $400,000. Under the Ingram plan Division No. 2 of the State for the administration of school affairs would be composed of Madi son, Haywood, Buncombe. Henderson and Transylvania counties. The division boards of education would be nominated and elected in the same man ner as now prescribed by law for the elec tion of county boards of education; but in divisions consisting of five counties the "boards would be composed of five mem bers, one from each county in the division. The division superintendents would be elected by the division boards of education, subject to the approval of the State Board of Equalization, and would hold office for terms of two years. The salaries of superintendents, their as sistants and clerks would vary in the sev eral districts. In district No. 2 the salary of the superintendent would be $3,900 an nually, and the salary of his assistant would be $1,800 a year. The Ingram bill is revolutionary in its , proposals and probably will meet with little favor among the people of the State, despite the promise of a saving of $400,000* in the costs of operating the schools. The' people of Henderson county will probably' not be favorable to a system which would put the management of our public schools in control of a superintendent residing in Asheville—which is exactly what will come to pass if this bill is enacted. Similar ( objection will no doubt be raised in Madi son, Haywood and Transylvania. The limes-JNews believes that a much better plan than the Ingram plan for re ducing the costs of schools and the ex-j penaes of government in North Carolina is a plan for the consolidation of counties. By reducing the number of counties from one hundred to around fifty, several mil-! lion dollars can be saved on the costs oft county government, instead of only $400,- j 000. By reducing the number of counties| one-half the number of county boards of education and superintendents would be reduced almost to the number proposed by ; Senator Ingram; and all other public of fices would be reduced in like proportion and many other items of the costs of coun ty government would be eliminated. Under the plan of county consolidation the supervision of the schools of a consoli dated county would still be under the con trol and direction of a citizen of the coun ty. It is obvious that when the superinten dent serves five counties he cannot be a H citizen of all of them at the same time. It is also clear that in a district composed of five counties, Henderson county would I have but one member of a board of educa tion composed of five members. Four members of the board would be residents of other counties. County consolidation would probably save the State fifty times as much money as Senator Ingram's school law. When the people were accustomed to larger counties all conditions would be as satisfactory as at present. The proposed school law would invite trouble, if enacted. It won't be long now until the ground hog comes out to take a look at his shadow. If the depression hit him like it did most of. us. he probably won't recognize it if he sees it.

For our part, we lay claim to several pronounced opinions, the uttering: of which need not necessarily mark us as backward. One of them is that regard less of the value of the services, educational and otherwise, rendered by the state, they must be based upon the state's ability to support them through a system of taxation that penalizes no one and no class disapportionately. First determine how much revenue may be raised by an equitable system of taxation, then limit expenditures to that amount. Another opinion, if anyone cares for it, is that we are about to be deluded into thinking1 that all things which come under the general descriptive "educational" are in themselves and without ques tion praiseworthy. The word is in danger of be coming a shibboleth, those who follow it intolerant of argument. Still a third opinion is that with due allowance for occasional differences in method most of us hereabout are interested in much the same things: a pieasant, cultured, liberal, progressive and health ful community in which we may live with unimped ed striving toward peace and contentment. We may disagree frequently as to the most direct route to so grand a destination, but the chances are that neither this nor that particular group has a monop oly on road maps.—Charlotte News. AN UNPASSABLE PROPOSITION The way out of this depression is not through shifting taxes or other burdens, or through reliev ing on.-» group of our distressed population, at the expense of another group. If industries are brought, to their knees at the expense of relief to farmers it would profit the farmers nothing in the long-run, bcause after all the farmer is largely dependent upon the purchasing power that is derived from in dustrial payrolls. The Observer has not studied the bill which has just been introduced by Senator Robinson, of Ar kansas. Apparently this bill would provide relief through legitimate use of government credit for those individual farmers who are in distress so far as land mortgages are concerned. Already relief is available through crop and livestock loans. This would seem not only the more conservative and the more logical, but also the more effective means of relieving farmers who need help. The Observer cannot believe that the farm allot ment bill can ever become a law. The increase in bureaucracy and governmental expenses, the threatened danger to industrial interests and back eventually to the farmers themselves, and the con fusion in general which would result are too seri ous to contemplate. The last state of the farmer, as well as of the country in general, would be worse than the first.—Charlotte Observer. DIPLOMAT The conflict of the '60s, as you arc aware if you have been raised right, was brought on by the re fusal of the North under Mr. Lincoln to permit the ! South under South Carolina to do what it had a j perfect right to do. Consequently, when it is re ferred to as an insurrection you may assure your self that the reference proceeds from someone who has not a proper conception of the precedent cir cumstances, and when it is described as the Civil war, you may set down the describer as a Yankee or, at best, a Southerner who has fallen a victim to the temptation of brevity. But when Mr. Roosevelt spoke recently in Mont gomery, first capital of the Confederacy and junior hotbed of the South, did he say anything about an insurrection or a civil war? He did not. His refer ence, as it should have been, was to the War Be tween the States. It is plain to see that there are more ways of making a hit than by using a big stick.—Charlotte News. WHEM AT"^TiCU^S OM j Th\H MACK I ME" ACTB Ak?ET ' WQlTTEM BV Revision, Rather Than Abo lition of Law Now Expected The Times-News Hureaii I Sir Walter ITot'-f RALEIGH, Jan. 28.—The Mur-j phy-Bowie-Neal bill repealing the state-wide primary law is now as I dead as a door-nail, but if senti ment expressed during a public hearing1 on the bill yesterday i.^ any indication, there will be a heavy demand on the current leg islature to decrease the costs of holding primaries. The committee's action in kill ing the rrpealer is likely to eilence talk on the perennial proposal to abolish the primary system for the j time being, since it would take two-thirds majority of the house to put the bill 0:1 the favorable calendar. And while supporters of the proposal avc stronger numeri cally than ever this year, they are far short of a majority. In former years—ever since the state-wide primary law was enact ed in 1915—efforts have bee'i made to repeal it, but such at tempts were never impressive. This year th e repealer was dropped into the house hopper with the signatures of 22 repre sentatives, and represented a for midable beginning- for such a pro posal. The committee vote on the bill was 6 to 3 to report it unfavor ably. Its proponents claimed that it would save the state hundreds of thousands of dollars and r esult in less corruption than exists un der the prmiary system. They ai-o advanced the contention that out side the governor and a few local officers, the average voter is not greatly concerned about who he votes for. l'ep. Murphy led the fight for the bill, claiming that it would save the taxpayers of the state nearly a million dollars, and that it would result in better men be ing elected to office. The opposition, however, was I overwhelming, not only from members of the committee, but from a score or more of other in dividuals. Labor unions had sev eral representatives on hand to protest against taking away the citiezn's right to vote just at a time when North Carolina has succeeded in educating thousands of persons to the extent that they can vote and take ait interest in politics. Most members of the commit tee opposed the bill on the ground that it would result in an "invisi ble"' machine-made government 1 in the hands of only a few. Thirty { years ago, when the masses of, people were illiterate, and a few i yeaders had to think for them, the convention system may have been proper. But with the advances in Rood roads and education, it would be unheard of to repeal the pri mary system, opponents of the bill maintained. Rep. Gardner of Cleveland, a member of the committee, said the bill was the result of a movement in North Carolina "to run the gov ernment with a machine" and was not in accord with the state's true sentimen". "It is a machine bill." he said. "The last primary wreck ed machine control in North Caro lina and now the machine is t»oing after the government with this dangerous piece of legislation." . The committee also has before it a bill to repeal the absentee bal lot law which, while it has consid erable opposition, is not expected to have as hard sledding as the primary repealer. A bill is now being drawn, it is understood, to reduce the cos-s of the primaries by cutting the excess of printed1 ballots down to 2Z per cent over the number of registered voters. Under the present law two ballots have to be printed for each regis tered voter.

BEHIND Th'E SCENES IN WASUINGTON BY RODNEY UUTCHfcit NEA Sfrvlce Writer WTASHINGTON.—What, in these " days, could be more old-fash ioned than a modification ist — a light winc-s and beer man? Not long ago there were millions of them, dissatisfied with prohibi tion but not caring or daring to urge the now popular naked repeal. Tiie only one loft seems to be. George AV. Norris, that technically f Republican but completely inde pendent senator from Nebraksa. | Norris has the best of not many reputations here for the old-fash , ed honesty and courage that you read about in romantic novels. The senator's viewpoint on pro hibition legislation is not only of interest to millions of American liberals but also to wets and drys. For he is chairmen of the Senate Judiciary committee which re ported out the modified repeal reso lution and the beer bill. He helped frame them both, but he voted against the first and for the sccond. "So the prohibitionists are with me and against me and the wets are against me and with me," says Norris, who probably is the only man in Congress who wouldn't worry about a thing like that. • • « TIE was dry until last summer, but defied the Anti-Saloon League by deserting his party to support Candidate A1 Smith in ID23 and again by campaigning for Roosevelt, the repealist. in 19S2. "I concluded prohibition was a failure and ratline worse all She time,-' iNoms explains, ~uut i don't want to Rive up the ameiul< ment and go hack to the saloon un til we have another experiment. "The wet3 claimed for years that beer and wine would reduce drunk enness. There's some hope, though I fear not much, that they were right. The only way to achieve such a resolution is to modify the Vol stead Act." V * * HPHE wets can thank Norris for suggesting the' formation of the Senate beer bill with a view to pre venting the supreme court from killing it on grounds of unc<»isti tutionality. The idea seemed ona of the brightest, ideas produced here in a long time. He is now sure the court can't harm beer within | the alcoholic limit prescribed by | Congress. "The constitution prohibits the I sale of liquor," he says, "but un less some law is passed by Con gress the prohibition is unenforce able by the federal government. Congress need not take all the jur isdiction which .the constitution confers upon it, but can prohibit beverages containing more than a certain amount of alcohol without saying anything about those which contain less. If we had a constitu tional amendment prohibiting the theft of livestock and passed a law merely covering cows, the federal government couldn't prosecute pig stealers. "You can't arrest a man under a statute which doesn't exist for an offeuse for which no noualty is nro vidflri.* trrj Ingram's School ! Administration Bill Not to Pass But it Will Likely be the Basis for Another to Bring Economies RALEIGH, Jan. 28.—While the bill of Senator Ingram of Ran dolph, consolidating the state's 100 counties into SO school dis tricts, and which, it is estimated, would save the state nearly $500, 000 annually, is generally approv ed in principle, it is not likely that it will ever come out of the com mittee room in its present thapc-, it was indicated after the Senate Education Committee discussed ithe measure. The Ingram bill, far-reaching in its effect, will be further consid ered by the joint Senate and House education committees some time next week. The Randolph senator, it is believed, will have no objection to the modification of the bill's details, since he ex pressly introduced it for the pur pose of giving the committee a structure to work upon. The principal of the measure has the support of Superintendent of Public Instruction A. T. Allen, who believes that a saving- could be affected by consolidation of county districts. However, Super intendent Allen does not believe that the school system could be operated efficiently on less than 75 or 80 districts.
