DUNNAGAN RALEIGH, Mar. 27 Governor Eh ringhaus literally pulled off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and waded into "some merchants" for their attitude, saying he would not recommend re peal of the general sales tax until some other way is found by which the schools of the State can be support ed in an address before the N. C. Ed ucation Association at its final ses sion here Saturday, and many times the capacity audience was nulled from its collective seat by his statements. "When a merchant prices an ar ticle to you and adds the sales tax tor the luovernor, it is your duty to tel him that 64 Der cent of that tax goes to the public schools and that if he insists on misrepresenting the facts, yuo will buy your goods else where," Governor Ehringhaus told them, after pointing uot the various uses to which the sales and other tax es are devoted and. showng that ex cept for the gasoline and motor ve hicle taxes, 64 per cent is for schools. "When the day came whsn I had to choose between the sales tax and the schools, I chose the schools," he said, adding, "I am not going to stand for the repeal bt anv tax until T SPA in its place something that will keep our scnoois open." He said he was heartily in favor of increasing salar ies of teachers and State employees as mey are as soon as possible, and showed that by doinff awav altocrptbi er wtih all executive and administra tive offices in Raleigh would increas teachers' pay only 10 per cent. "Nobody in North CaroTffia'dWfterr adoption of the cussed and discussed sales tax any moi-e than I did," he said, asserting that he had not gone back on his campaisn stand of nnnns. ing the tax, unless it were necessary. iteai estate folks urged the tearb- es to adopt a resolution approvine the sales tax and R. T. Fountain urg ed the resolution committee not to approve it, members said. The reso lution adopted was: "Xo request the General Assembly to continue the maintenance of the State-supported eight months term out of revenue de rived from sources other than al valorem taxes'" In another section the resolutipn heartily commended Governor Ehringhaus "for the force ful and earnest fight he made U nrn vide an eight months school term for every child in North Carolina. We believe that if this plan is continued as the fixed educational policy of N. C. It will be the outstanding achieve ment or his administration. Other parts of the resolution adnnt- ed asked for increased appropriation for schools "so that every school em ployee will have at least a livinw wage;" asked for provisions for per mitting local supplements to school funds, properly limited: and continu ation of the county as the school Unit. Guy B. Phillips, head of the Greens boro schools, was elected president of the association for the next year, succeeding Harry P. Harding, of Charlotte. Mrs. T. C. Guthrie. Kins- ton teacher, was elected vice-presi pent, placing her in line for the pres idency for the following year. Jul B. Warren, secretary-treasurer since 1921, was re-elected. State Supt. A. T.
