W. McLean, coinci dent with the announcement of mem bers of the commission. This Commis sion, under the county government act just passed, is charged with the task of assisting the various counties in putting the new acts just adopted in operation, and to help them get re adjusted. The members of the advisory cam mission, ns announced by Governor McLean are: Dr. E. Brooks, chairman. Dr. Brooks is president of State College in Rftleigh, and was chairman of the commission on county government, whose investigation of county govern mental affairs and report and recom mendations resulted in the passage of the three county government re form acts by the general assembly just ended. J. E. Woodland, chairman of the board of commissioners of Cartaret county and president of the State association of county commissioners.

Newsom, members of the board of commissioners of Durham county, and former president of the State association of county commis sioners. Mr. Newsom has continu ously taken a great deal of interest in the question of county government of commissioners of Bitltcoriibe coun ty; and one of the leaders along the line of county government reform. Dr. A, C. Mclntosh, of the Uni versity of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, who lias also been actively interested in the matter of bettetr county govern ment. of the first things this com mission must do is to employ an ex ecutive secretary, who will become the liason officer between the various counties and the commission, and who in turn will act as the agent of the commission in helping the various counties solve their problems, us well as keep the commission informed as to the conditions and problems in the various comities., It is just as necessary to have an officer of this sort to keep track of county governmental affairs as it is t 6 have u state superintendent of edu cation or a state auditor, who must keep constantly in touch with the in ternal affairs of the counties, not so much to “check up on them” as some are Inclined to thiuk, but to assist them at any time any sort of compli cations may arise, according to Dr. Brooks. “In other .words, this executive sec retary will be a sort of expert ‘trouble shooter’ for counties; he will be thor oughly familiar with the details of county government, from taxation to accounting, and will be able to give the benefit X»f his knowledge to the boards of county commissioners in any section of the state, whenever they may desire it. Dr. Brooks said. “On the other baud, from bis con stant contact with local county govern ments, be will be able to give the advisory commission much valuable in formation which it could not other wise obtain, and thus enable it more fully to do the work it is suppose to do.” THREE PRISONERS AT JOLIET PRISON ESCAPE Two of Them Were Recaptured and 50 Guards are Seeking the Other.

Raleigh, March 14.—Probably the most outstanding fact in connection with the work of the general assem bly ju«t ended is that taxes have not been increased materially beyond the point, where they have been the last two years, hut merely re-adjnsted. and thnt as a result of this read justment, a tax burden amounting to approximately $4,500,000 lias been removed from the land owners and ad valorem tax payers, to three who pay the state taxes—the privileged interests—according to Governor A. W. McLean, in discussing some or the more interesting phases of the legislature. Its the first place, neither the ap propriations nor the estimated rev enue for the next two years was materially changed by ' the legisla ture from the amounts originally es timated and recommended by the budget commission. And in the sec ond place, the only changes made in the revenue bill were minor, adjust ments. transferring amounts from one division to some others, the only material increases being the one half of one per cent, increase in the corporation'income'rax Drackets. and the inclusion of the surplus as well a,s the capital stock in the cor poration franchise tax. “In view of the fact that the bur den of the complaint of the majority of the tax payers of the state has been agninst the high rates .of county ad valorem taxes, rather than agninst state taxes, which are not ad val orem, that fact that this general as sembly has transferred approximate ly $4,500,000 from the county tax burden to the state, should mean a considerable reduction in taxes to the several counties of the siate,” the Qovernor said. In the $4,500,- GOO he included the 3,250,000 equali zation fund, which represents the amount the state will distribute to from 85 to 90 of the counties each year, and the more than $1,000,000 a year that will also be turned back to the counties by the state in the form of confederate pensions. The ,-quali zation fund alone should lower the school tax rate in the counties from 12 to’ 30 cents on the dollar, ac cording to the Governor's estimates.

But. the act goes still further, since it puts an end for all time to the practice of counties loaning money to the state. By prohibiting such loans in the future, thus bind ing the state henceforth to virtually a "pay as you go" plan of road building. However, the most important fea ture of this net, and one which Inns so far been apparently overlooked, according to the Governor, is the clause written in the net making the four cents gasoline tax sacred for the retirement of the bonds and for the maintenance of the highways, and the contract with the bond hold ers and tax payors of the state, to maintain the highways to the point of great!st efficiency, thereby mak ing it possible for either the tax payers of thi* state or the bondhold er* to sue the state should main tenance ever become neglected. “The people of the state aVo thus assured of continuous maintenance of the highway, and guaranteed tbelr constant use. If the state fails in this, they have recourse to the courts,” the Governor declared. The enactment of the bill providing for the $3,2i50,000 equalization fund for education, and the county gov ernment reform bills are considered by the Governor ns perhaps :ne most outstanding pieces of legisla tion, though then! was much more of almost equal importance, in his esti mation.
