In the Sir Walter Hotel. 4 t: nASKKn Yii.i, Raleigh, Aug. 19.—Things are pop ping so fast that even old timers are having a difficult time to keep up with them. No one knows what is go ing to happen next, but indications are that it is going to be plenty and that the shake down in the State Highway and Public Works Comission, followed by the reverberations from the house cleaning being carried on in the Rev enue Department by Executive Com missioner of Revenue M. C. S. Noble, Jr., are little more than preliminaries to what may happen later on. One thing seems certain, that is, that Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus is determined to have the various de partments under his immediate author ity run the way he things they shoukl be run, and that he is going to insist on their being reorganized along the lines he desires. It is also evident that he is not entrusting this reor ganization work to the titular heads of the various departments involved, but only to his personal representa tives, named by him to carry out this work. There is no longer any doubt as as to why Dr. M. C. S. Noble, Jr., was app-.-intci executive assistant com missioner of revenue, with power to hire, fire, reorganize and make changes both in organization and per sonnel without any direction from Commissioner of Revenue A. J. Max well. At first there were a good many who could not understand why this was done. Now, since Dr. Noble has completed his organization of the sales ! tax division, made some changes in j the highway patrol an dstarted his 1 survey of other divisions of the de- I of a good many irregularities in the handling of State money by minor employes, the reason for his appoint ment and assignment to a definite task is becoming better understood. ! For while nothing has as yet been I found, so far as can be learned to! reflect directly upon the heads of any of the divisions of the department of Revenue, it is agreed that enough has already been turned up to make it look as if some of the division heads have been rather lax in their super vision of their employes. Some think developments make it seem that Com missioner Maxwell has been too lax in his supervision of his division heads. At any rate, it is now expected that when the various divisions of the Revenue Department have been re payment, resulting in the turning up (Continued on Fage Eight) Teachers' Salaries $45 To S9O Raleigh, Aug. 19— (AP) —North Carolina’s school teachers would be paid salaries ranging from $45 to S9O a month during the coming year under a scale to be submitted to the State Board of Education by a special com mittee.
