$17,000 Cut In
Teachers’ Pay
Here Last Year
Supt. Smith Explains Financial
"‘-‘ement and Ask* Public
’ ^Interest In Schools.
[ "Last year $17,000 was cut from
teachers salary in the operation pf
the city schools," declared Supt. B.
‘ L, Smith who spoke last night be
fore the Kiwanis club at the regu
lar weekly luncheon. The operating
cost was $23,000 less than the prev
ious^year and this enabled the
school borad to reduce the floating
indebtedness of the city schools
from $86,687 to a present deficit of
$16,357. However, $58,000 of this
‘ floating indebtedness was taken care
of by a bond issue voted by the peo
ple, changing this much of the ob
ligation from a floating debt to a
bonded debt. Because of the cut in
teachers salaries and other econo
mies about $12,000 more was used
in reducing the city’s floating debt
said Supt. Smith.
Uncollected Taxes.
Speaking further on the subject of
finances he stated that the audi
tor’s charged off for the year 1924
«11928 the sum of $5,345 in uncollec
tible taxes, whereupon he was mov
ed to remark, “Taxes are not being
collected as they should be, that's
why the burden increases on those
citizens who do pay.”
j Continuing his remarks he point
ed out of 32.9 of the children in
schools are behind where they
should be in achievement which
4 .makes it costly to the taxpayers to
! teach these retarded children over
again. He urged the influence of
[patron* on their children to make
the normal progress in class work.
! After explaining how this standard
in achievement is set up, he spoke
briefly on attendance, health and
truancy, complimented the teaching
staff and disavowed any intention
on his part of enforcing military
discipline in the public schools, but
rather a desire to have the children
control themselves.
Next week the Kiwanis club will
be served dinner at Pineview lake
by Mrs. Wallace, home demonstra
! tion agent and her various clubs in
the county.

For Judge Hoke
To Gov. Morrison
Raleigh, Sept. 4.—"I was

Governor Morrison to urge the
appointment of Judge Hoke
as Chief Justice,” said Gov
ernor Gardner yesterday dur
ing a conversation about the
portrait of the late chief jus
tice which has been hung in

me proclaim the virtues ol
Judge Hoke, replied that the
only thing he knew against
Judge Hoke waa that he had
voted far me and against him
for governor,
“ ‘I regard that judicial dis
crimination on the part of
Judge Hoke as complete proof
of hit preminent fitness for
the job,’ I told Governor Mor
rison. Soon thereafter the gov

Four Hoover Speeches, One At
Kings Mtn., Seen As Aid To G.O.P.
Dopesters Believe It Is His Opening
Bid For Reelection In
1932.
Washington, Sept. 4.—Viewed gen
erally as the opening of President
Hoover's campaign for return of his
party to power in congress in the
fall and for his own re-election two
years hence, his acceptance of invi
tations to make four addresses early
in October was widely speculated
upon today in the capital.
Marking as it docs a sharp depar
ture from the policy followed by his
predecessor in office, the program
of four major speeches in six days,
also will be one of the most ambi
tious efforts of Mr. Hoover upon the
platform.
Not only will the quartet of ad
dresses take him to three widely
separated states, but it will permit
him to gain contact with the people
of several others as he passes
through Also the speeches will take
(he chief executive before ilitre of
the most powerful civic (croups in
the nation.
It has been generally accepted
that all of his addresses are to be
appropriate to the occasion which
might mean that before the Amer
ican Bankers’ association at Cleve
land on October 2 he would talk on
finances and business, and before
the American Federation of Labor
in Boston on the afternoon of Octo
ber 6 he would discuss unemploy
ment. These two invitations were
the latest accepted.
Gives Him Fine Opportunity,
Both would give him an excellent
opportunity, it was held today in
political circles, of 'selling'' his ad
ministration in a way that would
not be inappropriate for a president.
His speech on the morning of Oc
tober 6 before the American Legion
in Boston, and that at the King"
Mountain battle anniversary cele

For Charlotte And Entire County
Cleveland Commissioner, Member
State Board, Speaks To
Meeting.
Charlotte. Set. 5.—Ativocacy of
joint managership for Charlotte and
Mecklenburg county was expressed
here yesterday by A. E. Cline of
Cleveland county, speaking before
the Kiwanis club's weekly luncheon
meeting. Mr. Cline sees in the Idea
an opportunity for economy by the
elimination of many agencies that
could serve both county and city as
well as being restricted to the one
or the other unit. By the joint man
agerial policy, there, would be few
er spending agencies. A remedy
would thus be found for increasing
Indebtedness, and the work would
be consolidated with the appoint
ment of a director “to put on the
brakes.”
Mr. Cline is a member nl the
state advisory commission to ebun
ty comnvmissioners. Is chairman ol
the county board in Cleveland, is
his county's accountant, and is also
