Grier-Folger Plan
Best Solution Now
Hickory Record
This week will bring a renewal Of
efforts to effect a compromise
whereby the state legislature may
dispose of the troublesome state
revenue and appropriations meas
ures.
The way out will be easily found
If the friends of the Grier-Folger
measure which the senate has
agreed to pass, can muster suffi
cient strength In the house to se
cure adoption there. Representative
Pitts, of Catawba county, who Is
heartily In favor of the proposed
compromise, says that although a
determined fight will be made to put
the measure through the lower
branch of the assembly, the chances
for success are somewhat slim. He
further says that there Is a strong
probability of adjournment without
action, if some settlement cannot be
reached this week.
It would seem that all fair-mind
ed assemblymen could agree upon
the senate plan of solution. Here
is what the Sunday Journal of
Winston-Salem, says the Grier-Fol
ger measure provides:
1. This bill makes possible a 20
per cent reduction In the values fix
ed by the state or rural, urban and
Corporate property alike.
2. It reduces the tax rate for
school operating costs from 51 cents
to 30 cents on an average in the
counties and no additional taxes, ex
cept under special conditions, can
be levied.
3. The state sets up for the first
time reasonable standards of school
cost, thereby fixing a budget that
the counties can live under without
extra taxes and provides the mach
inery for such adjustments as will
enable them to do so.
4. It provides the machinery by:
which ft county or city or local tax
district may levy additional taxes to
meet higlier standards than those
set up by the state, but a new or sup
plemental budget must be presented
setting out the Items requested by
the school board to the tax-levying
authorities, and must be approved
by them before any additional taxes
can be levied.
5. It provides economies in school
administration, making our school
system more efficient, more pro
gressive and, at the same time, more
economical,
6. It will save our state from em
barrassment in dealing with the col
ored people.
7. It will doubtless save Our state
from many expensive uncertain law
suits with the railroad companies.
8. It continues the pleasant re
lations of the state to our large clt
f
les In school administration
9 It provide liberal aid for the!
extended school terms, giving th
farmers and the country people thi i
opportunity for standard elementary
and high schools In their eommum- j
ties at much lower tax rates, not
higher than obtains in the cities or
the centers of wenlth.
10 It will correct In time the
mistakes that may have been made
| in the location of high schools, the
ultimate end being to cut our du
plications and extra cost, which will
mean much hereafter to the state.
11. Finally, It will raduee the sum
total of taxes for school operation
on all property—rural, urban and
corporate alike—approximately 40
per cent,
12. It Is the best proposition yet
offered the farmers.

Mill school will be held Friday even
