ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVI SAYS SUPERYtSION 1 CHIEF REASON Pi BUDGET S SUCCESS t .. ! Gov. McLean Says Power of Director of Budget Most Important Feature , of State’s Budget Law. WATCHES EVERY DEPARTMENT NOW I Heads of the Departments > Know What They Can Spend and Director Seed Tltey Stick to Margin. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, July 7.—Suppose a small) boy finds a shiny dollar in the street. His first impulse is to go and spend t’je whole dhllar at once on iee cream and randy and in a short while he is “broke” and often has a painful feeling. in the neighborhood of the solar plexus. But let him take this dollar to his mother, ahd have her dole it out to him five or ten cents a day, and it take care of his wants and provide amusement for a week. l’. t e difference is in the supervision. The same principle applies to the government of a state, according to Governor A. W. McLean, who today, in discussing the good showing made by the state under the executive budget system, jioiiited out that the value of the budget was very largely in the provision which gnve to the director of t’je budget the power to supervise the expenditure of the va rious appropriations month by month. For departments nre very much like the small boy. If one gets a large and liberal appropriation from the legis’ature, the tendency in the past has been to use up the appropriation ns rapidly as possible and then go back for more. And an appropria tion always looks bigger in the first month of a fiscal year than it does the second or sixth or twelfth. And this was the case before the adoption of the budget system. Now, howev er, the director of the budget is the mother, who doles out the money needed month by month, so that each department may ba assured of **ft cient lands in. the twelfth month us . the sAwftfNfib nt he And in North Carolina th* pftn hns worked out well, as is attested by the “credit balance"—not “sur plus”, if you please—that now re poses to the State's credit in the State treasury. “Under the old legislative system,” f Governor McLean said in discussing the budget system, “many departments ( felt that it was their duty to use up ( the full amount of their nppropria- j tions, whether they actually needed , to or not—ln fact there was a feel ing that if it was not used up, the appropriation might be reduced. So oftentimes, when an appropriation was in excess of the actual needs, ex- , trnvagance was deliberately practiced in order to consume their surplus. And the line of reasoning used was ( not entirely fallacious, either. , “But the adoption of the budget I system has changed this idea entirely. The appropriation is no longer re- l garded as an amount of money that t must be spent by any individual de- < partmeut. whether or not all of it < is needed, but rather as a maximum < limit beyond which expenditures must I not go. So if in the course of a ' fiscal year, it is found that a depart- 1 ment or institution can get along on less money than had been antici pated. the amount saved ia gradually stored up into what is called a ‘credit balance’. This is carried over from month to month, against possible emergency. And that is how the State has ended the first fiscal year of the biennium with a credit bal ance of $1,120,398.” This credit balance, as the gover nor desires it to be termed, rather than a surplus, now is carried over into the second fiscal year of the bi ennium, where it may be either to tally or partially absorbed, according to conditions that may develop during the second fiscal year. However, if conditions remain normal,- it is fair to conclude that not only will the credit balance from the firat fiscal year remain intact, but that It will increase, so that a balance as large or larger will be on hand at the end of the biennium on June 30, 1927. _ When asked wbat would be done with this balhnce, should it exist at that time, the governor said that the matter of its disposition was one for the legislature to decide, and that it could be disposed of in any way that the legislature saw fit, either in tax reduction or in some other way.

The Concord Daily Tribune North Carolina’s Leading Small City Daily == Old Fashioned School Ma’am Needed Instead of Flappers For Teachers (By International News Service) Chicago, 111., July 7.—.“ Down with the flapper teacher! Give us back t'.ie good old-fashioned school marin!" is the cry of the majority of 19,000 farm women who answered tlie ques tion, "Wbnt is wrong with the rural school?" put to them in a nation wide survey conducted by the Sears- Roebuck agricultural foundation. Not more country schools, but bet ter teachers, older and wiser women who know more of life and are better fitted to guide children, ia the al most universal plea, according to Mr*. Mary C. Punke, of the founda tion, who had charge of the compil ation of the farm women’s answers. 1 The American countryside, the sur ■ vey revealed, still is dotted with “Little Red School Houses,” and the 1 average distance from the farm house, to the school is one and two-thirds miles. Despite the family flivver and bet ter roads, however, the long trudges to the school bouse is not a thing of the past. Figures gathered in the survey show that 0 per cent, of rural school youngsters rule horseback, about 9 per cent, are nble to tell some kind neighbor, “Thanks for the buggy ride,” and 18 per cent, get to school by means of school busses covering tegular routes. Sixty-one per cent, of the rural pupils walk both ways NEW DISTRICT SUPERVISOR Os Vocational Education.—He Is J. ( M. Osteen, of Troy.

C. between home and school. In the corn belt—lowa. Missouri, IKiuois, Indiana and Ohio—school houses average two miles from the farm houses and the bus system is better developed r.ian in any other section. Twenty-nine per cent, of the country children can ride to school in busses in thpse states. In spite of the tsik about consoli dated schools, the little one-room, one-teacher school house still is the rule. Seventy-two per cent, of the I rural schools are equipped for only one teac'jer who must teach all eight grade* in one room. Twenty per cent, of the country schoo’.s have two rooms, and 8 per cent, are consoli dated schools. Ten per cent of the country teachers are men, but most of them are employed iii consolidated schools. i Few of the 19,000 farm women were satisfied with the schools to which they were forced to send their children, and most of the complaints were of the kind of teachers em ployed. The greatest complaints were founded on a condition which would not permit salaries attractive to any but young, inexperienced girls and women. Even the young teachers, it was brought out, are not satisfied with the salaries, and usually marry and quit teaching before they have time to get the needed experience. THE COTTON MARKET Opening Was 1 Point Higher on July But Generally Lower. New York. July 7.—o4*)—The cot ton market appeared to be influenced early today by reiterated coihplaints of insect activities. The opening was 1 point higher on July, but generally 1 to 7 points lower under realizing or liquidation, which was probably promoted bv rattier disappointing Liverpool cables. Initial offerings were absorbed on declines of (t or 10 points, however, nnd after selling off to 16.30, De cember rallied to 16.57 before the end of the first hour, with the general market selling about 10 to 15 points net higher. Apprehensions of insect damage to the crop seemed to be one of the chief factors on the advance, evidently pro moted by reports of continued show ery renditions over the belt. Cotton futures opened steady. July 17.92; Oct. 10:48;-Oeo. 10.42; Jan 10.30; March 16.46." -■ - ' .-♦ ■ v*. so. . Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. July 7.—Walter E.

Tribune Bureau [ Sir Waiter Hotel?- ( J *4t»t<*igh, July 7.—-Tuere is fb*%e no "summer capital” for Governor A. W. McLean, and maybe not even a vacation, the State's chief executive said today when asked why he did not take a vacation, and set up a "summer executive mansion” in the approved Coolidgian style. “What good would that do?” he said. “There wou'.d still be just as much work to do, and I cannot go away and do nothing while I know that work is piling up. I doubt if I will even get any vacation.” The governor did admit, however, that he liked to fish, but only pro vided that the fish liked to bite. “I do not like to sit on a bank or a log all day and dangle a line waiting for a fish to bite,” he said. “But if they are biting well I en joy fishing. But I haven’t the pa tience to sit nnd wait for them to get in the mood.” The governor then told a real fish story. He said that he located a shady pool in a. lake in Wisconsin one day, where a big tree had fallen into the lujte, and was partly sub merged, in which he caught 18 fish —big ones, too—one right after an other. “That is the way I like to fit*. They had fight and gameness, too. But that lake was way up in the woods and had not been fished out.” SPURLING’S NOMINATION FOR SOLICITOR CONCEDE® Caldwell Man’ Majority Over Ervin, of Burke, Placed at 1937 Votes.

Tribune Bureau -- » Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, July 7—Will North Car o’inn owner# have to pay $7.50 for one-millionl'.i of a horsepower? This is a question which the department of revenue nnd highway commission will decided today, following a visit to Raieigh of Coleman W. Roberts, of the Carolina Motor Club, and a delegation of several others in an ef fort to have the price of the license for the Dodge motor car reduced from S2O to $12.50. its former price. The price was boosted when the horse power of the Dodge was listed as amounting to 24.01 horsepower. How ever. it has been learned that this rating is incorrect and that Instead of being 24 and one one-hundredth horse power. the fraction in reality is but one-millionth. Hence it is that the highway commission, in the person of Frank Page and the department of revenue, in tSie person of Com missioner R. A. Doughton, nre being asked to restore the old price of $12.50 for the Dodge license plates. What their action will be in the matter has not yet been announced, but it is hoped by Mr. Roberts that in view of the infinitesimal fraction over the allowed rating of 24 horse power for the $12.50 license, that Dodge owners may have cause to re joice. Not a Single Fire in Fourth of July i Celebrating. Tribune Bureau < Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. July 7.—Not a single fire I or fatality caused by a fire as the i result of July Fourth celebrating in North Carolina! This is a remarkable record, the department of insurance is gratified at the showing made and at the splendid response on the part of the people throughout the state to its caution warnings issued some days before July 4th. “We feel that the people of the state are really alive to the danger of fire and the need for exercising the proper caution in its prevention," said Stacey W. Wade, insurance com missioner, in discussing the showing made on July 4th. “The fact .that to date no fire Or injury from fire has been reported as being traceable to fireworks on July 4th is most en couraging.” Seeking the “Pot of Gold.” (Bv International News Service.) Greenville, S. C., July 7.—H. W. Meekins, negro farmer, today was seeking the long-lost pot of gold which, he claims, is buried some where on his farm near here. The planted ploughed up a key. sev eral days ago. A jeweler told him the key was gold and was worth up wards of SIOO. The key, which bears the lettering “323” is said to be about four inches long and weighs three nnd a half ounce*. Various opinions have been ad vanced as to where the key came from. Old residents here believe th,e key is a relic of the olden times when golden keys are supposed to have been used to unlock the city treasur ies. As Meekins did not find the key by means of any “locating rod,”- no theory has been advanced that he was the victim of a hoax. sumiMi BETWEEN 2 BRIDGES ALONG EAST COAST Accident Happened Just When It Was Thought All Danger Had Been Passed. BOAT PILED UP ON FORLEY REEF Buoy Which Should Have Shown Reef Was Miss ing, Captain W. B. Tomb Said. New York. July 7.—</P>—The U. S. submarine S-51 weut aground today between the Williamsburg Bridge and the Qucensboro Bridge in East River, while being towed to the Navy Yard here. The S-51 had just passed through what were believed to be her major perils of the journey here, possible sinking again in the deep waters of the Sound and loss in the swirling waters of Hell Gate. All seemed to be in order for a speedy and a safe arrival when the undersea boat sud denly piled up on Forly reef rock be tween the two bridges. Tlie S-51 was being towed in tan dem by the tugs luka and Sagamore. A civilian pilot who had joined the es cort during the night was in charge of guiding the flotilla to the Navy Yard. A second civilian pilot was on the Falcon, lead ship of the convoy. Although the Navy bad ordered river traffic to be turned aside to permit a free lane for tjie raised submarine and its convoy, there had apparently been some hitch in the orders because the usually heavy traffic was streaming up and down the river when the acci dent occurred. The rock where the submarine went aground is off 38th street, south of Welfare Island. At the time of the grounding, the t "de was at flood. Officers said the average depth of the course being fol lowed at the time was 31 feet. The , submarine as towed had a draft of 35 ’ feet. (’apt. W. B. Tomb, commanding the Vestal, said that a buoy which 1 should have designated the Forly Reef 1 rock, was missing. Up to Hire* or four minutes before • the 8-61 yent aground the Vestal had been leading the flotilla. The most dangerous part of the 1 150 mile trip to the Navy Yard from * the plnee where the submarine was raised after nine months submersion ' since its collision last September w ; th the steamer City of Rome, was con ' sidered by Navy officers to be Exeeu -1 tion Rock. This had been safely pass ed when the accident occurred, Lieut. Commander }3. T. Sauer who had pi ’ loted the Vestal's course among the dangerous shoals and reefs had just s lighted a cigarette saying “I have done my job. I'm sorry I couldn't „ take her all the way through." j A signal had been flashed from the _ Vestal “We have been ordered to drop t behind. The civilian pilot will pilot (1 her the rest of the way.” „ The Vestal veered aside to permit t the submarine tow to pass. All at once a shout rose from the bridge of „ the Vestal and sirenß began blowing ,f a frantic warning. "She's hit,” offi , cers cried. p The Falcon, unable to check even | her moderate speed, ran up among t the pontoonß against the S-51. Wheth „ er the pontoons or the Falcon itself were damaged in this eoss : sion could ,t not immediately be learned. With Our Advertisers. One-fourth off on hand-made laces at Itobinson's.
