Friday, June 19, 1931. ^JfeCAPITAL By M. R. Dunnagan, The Pilot’s Raleigh Correspondent The most glaring and most expen- give error made as a result of the dis- overies following the recent hectic General Assembly session, involving bout $100,000, although glaring, will not be expensive at all, unless some technicality prevents the North Caro lina bottlers from making a gift of about that much money to the State , f North Carolina during the next two years. The tax on bottlers, about $100,000 fo^- he biennium soon to end, was to he doubled for the next two years. Then the luxury tax measure entered and its 10 per cent caused the tax on pi eduction machinery of the bottlers to be put back to the figure of the past two years. When the luxury tax bailed, the tax was again doubled by the conferees, but this revisal failed to get in the revenue act as ratified. The Revenue department discovered th omission, the ommission. doubling of their tax, reluctantly, to be >-ure, but preferred that to the 10 per cent tax. So, J. Elmer Long, for mer lieutenant governor and attorney ^or the bottlers, comes to Raleigh to announce that the bottlers had agreed fo the doubling, they did it in good faith, they intended to pay it, and pay it they will, if there is any way to do it, in spite of the law, even if it ha? to be in the form of a donation. Admittedly, the State needs the money and will probably find a way +0 accept it, since the bottlers are willing to pay. Also, it is one of the best publicity stunts imaginable. Moreover, it will probably save the bottlers from having to make up the difference two years from now, and still more. ♦ ♦ * The State Highway Commission, an nouncing that all local road matters are to be taken up through the local enirineering staff, as contemplated by ^he road law in making the commis sion a State-wide body, has divided ^he State into five divisions, with headquarters at Asheville, Salisbury, Greensboro, Fayetteville and Tar- boro, and each of these divisions is later to be divided into five districts. Chairman E. B. Jeffress announced after the meeting last Thursday. Sam D. Scott, Wayne county, was named director of county highways. Further organization to handle the 45,000 miles of county highways will be made later. A. A. F. Seawell, Sanford, represen tative from Lee county and author of the Seawell banking act of the re- ent session of the General Assembly, has been appointed Assistant Attor ney General by Attorney General D. G. Brummitt, to succeed Frank Nash, who, in turn, has accepted the post of "lerk of the N. C. Supreme Court, .succeeding’ Edward Seawell, whose +erm has expired. The new appointee is considered an able lawyer and well suited for the post. He is expected to become a candidate for the Attorney Generalship to succeed Mr. Brummitt, a prospective candidate for Governor. Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be saved in the operation of schools in North Carolina through abandoning hundreds of small one- and two-teacher elementary and high 'hools and consolidating them with '^arby larger and more efficient chools, according to LeRoy Martin, eci'etary of the State Board of Equal- ’zation. ^lany of these schools i^hould have neen abandoned earlier, but were con- miied because of local feeling and :'lilies, Mr. Martin said. Now that the tate is operating the schools, these ii' portant economies can be made ef fective and the pupils will be given '■‘tter instruction in better buildings. A compilation of figures shows that, xclusive of the six larger counties ot participating in the equalizing ■ md, 615 elementary schools, 414 hite and 201 colored, have been oper- ling with less than a daily average ttendance of 22 pupils, and 225 high "hools, 187 white and 38 colored, have -een operating with a daily average "^tendance of less than 50 pupils. Moore county, the report shows, had ne whiiie and five colored elementary schools with a daily average attend ance of less than 22, and two white and one colored high schools with a daily average attendance of less than 50 pupils. The State board last year aided 24 ounties in white rural school super vision, paying $23,499 of the total cost of $67,000, and aided 37 coun ties in colored rural supervision, pay ing $17,213 of the total cost of $46,- 457, Mr. Martin has found. 3(e * * Considerable discussion has devel oped around the action of President E. C. Brooks, of State College, in recom mending and his board in following his suggestion of abolishing the office of dean of the graduate school, held by Dr. Carl C. Taylor. Charges of per sonal dislike on the part of Dr. Brooks, objection on the part of North Carolina textile men tc Dr. Taylor’s speeches and actions, and others have been made since the action was taken last week. The incident gives promise of still more airing. THE PILOT, a Paper With Character, Aberdeen.
