MIEAN ISSUES | 'FORMAL STATEMENT ON BUDGET HEARINGS ; Denies Any Member of the Commission Has Shown Bias for or Against Any Institution. SAYS INJUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE Attempts of Some to Inter pret the Deliberations of the Budget Commission Too Freely. Tribune Huronu Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Nov. IC—Vigorously refut ing the implications that have been marie by some to the effect thateiih ier the huriget commission as a whole I or any of its individual members are j sMowing any bins in their attitude : toward any of the state institutions or that any determination hns been j reachetl as yet regarding recommenria i lions, Governor A. \\\ .McLean yes ! terday issued a formal statement to j the press seating forth the real pur- I pose of the budget hearings that have been in progress for more than a week | before the advisory budget commis sion. Such a statement was neces i sary, the governor declared, because of the attempts of certain persons to inject partisan opinions into the hear ings nnd to make political capital out | of mere conjecture. | The primary purpose of tire lienr- I ings before the budget commission is | to assemble detailed data as to the I needs of the various state institutions, !so t'iiat this data may be presented ; to the legislature's committees on ap propriations and finance when the leg- I islature meets. And the large liuin i ber of questions that have been asked | by the governor and others, have been jfor no other purpose other than to put into the record the detailed rea sons for the various requests so that wAien these requests are taken up by the legislature the material showing the necessity for the requests will be immediately available. In other words, the budget advisory commission is at tempting not to pre-judge the needs of jthe institutions and decide,'the appro , printions, but merely to d£t together j certuln data that will assist'!#* leght flative committee and the legislature lin determining the appropriations ! when these matters come up for eon ! sideration. I Hence, because he feels that a cer j tain amount ot injustice has been done j the budget commission by the attempts I of some to interpret the deliberations Os the commission too freely and by drawing extreme conclusions, the fol lowing statement was issued by Gov ernor McLean: “The hearing now going on before the advisory budget commission are similar to those conducted in previous years. The commission is composed of the governor, the present chairman of the finance and appropriation com mittees of the last general assembly and also Arthur M. Dixon, of Gas tonia, and R. S. MeCoin, of Hender son, business men and taxpayers. “The purpose of the hearings now going on is to develop the needs of the various departments, institutions and 1 other spending agencies of the state government nnd to present the same to the next general assembly with rec ommendations as to what appropria tions should be made for maintenance nnd for permanent improvements dur ing the biennium beginning July 1. 11)27. The members of the advisory budget commission nnd the governor have visited practically every institu tion in the state and will also pro cure all information possible from the heads of the various spending agencies as to the particular needs for the next two years. After the hearings are completed the governor and the mem bers of the commission will make t’aeir recommendations to the general assem bly with a view to presenting a pro gram for the next biennium. This method of presenting a fiscal program to the general assembly is now in force in 47 of the states in the Union, including Maryland, Kentucky, \ ir ginia, Tennessee, New York, Illinois. Ohio. West Virginia and Massachu setts and also in the federal govern ment. “The suggestion made by a few peraons that members of the commis sion are biased on and have already de termined Want they will do as between institutions or classes of institutions is wholly unfounded. The governor and members of the commission at tending the hearing have not and will not make up their minds until the whole program is considered. “It is the duty of the governor and members of the commission to think in terms of the state as a whole and of the interests of Cite taxpayers, as well as the various departments and institutions, and finally to do justice, as far as possible, as between the, tax payers and all of those who are ask ing for money to perform their duties conscientiously and to the. best of their mbility. 1 believe the people of the state will refuse to give serious notice to a few marplots who for purely sel fish reasons will eudeavor to discredit the business system which has been set up in connection wit'a the admin istration of the state's financial opera tions.''

He also pointed out that ’ rarely if ever in the history of any state, including North Carolina, had any legislature ever granted every ap -1 propriation that had been asked, and that as a rule the iustitutiOns mak ing the requests rarely if ever ex pected every request to be granted. " Hence it is extremely important that t in examining these resquests. definite 1 statements from the various institu • tioual heads be put in the record show • ing the degree of importance of the various requests. Hence it is, the 1 governor declared, that each institu tion is being asked to state which re > quest er requests are most essential, - so that it all cannot be granted the > important aud pressing needs may be • taken care of. ACCUSED MAN GETS AWAY BY A MISTAKE Sheriff Misunderstood Judge Stack's Orders as to C. B. White. Charlotte, Nov. 15.—Release of Charles B.

White supposedly has left the state. He was arrested a week ago at Jack son. Miss., and brought back here. The judge today- demanded of the attorneys in rite ease and Sheriff W. O. Cochran on what authority White had been released. The sheriff re plied that it was on the judge's own order. The judge replied that his order merely applied to the arrest and bail phase of the civil suit. It developed, however, dint White had never been formally arrested on the bigamy charge and the ease some time ago was noi prossed with leave. Thus there was no active case against White at the time. The judge made it clear that it had not been his intention to release White from the bigamy Charge, He has bgcn accused of having several living wives.
