Doctors Give Creosote
For Dangerous Coughs
For many years our best doctors have
prescribed creosote in some form foi
coughs, colds and bronchitis, knowing
how dangerous it is to let them hang on.
Creomulsion with creosote and six

coughs and colds that otherwise might
lead to serious trouble.
Creomulsion is powerful in the treat*

Reorganization Plan Keeps
the State Board of
Equalization
By J. C. BASKERVJLL
The Tliiii"<-Ncw i lluronii
Sir Waltvr Hutt'l
RALEIGH, Jan. 23.—'The rec
ommendation that the board oi'
equalization not onlv l>e retained,
but that its duties and jurisdiction
be enlarged to include bot)i high
schools and county superintend
ents, came as a distinct blow to
the school politicians who for the
past two years have been bending
every effort to securt its abolition
and to have complete control of
school matters, including the dis
tribution of all school money,
placed back in the hands of tho
state department of public in
struction.
When the committee on reor
ganization of state government
was first appointed, the school
forces were jubilant and believed
that it would surely recommend
the complete abolition of the
board of equalization. 15ut it
turned out that this committee
was interested in bringing about
economy and even more economy
than in the past. When the com
mittee investigated it found that
the board of equalization had re
duced the total expenditures for
the public schools from $28.61<>,
fiO.'i in 1929-.'J0 to approximately
$22,000,000 for the present school
year of 1932-33, a reduction of
more than $0,500,000 in three
years. These figures include the
total amounts spent for all pur
poses and for both the six months
and extended terms. It also found
that most if not all of this reduc
tion in expense had resutled from
the economies enforced upon the
schools by the board of equaliza
tion under the powers given it un
der the new school law enacted in
1931.
As a result of the excellent
showing made by the board of
equalization, which also showed
| tha t the economies effected had
I not resulted in any reduction in
school efficiency or in standards
of instruction, the committee on
governmental reorganization has
i recommended that the board be
j continued but that it be given still
I greater regulatory powers over
the public schools and over conn,
i ty superintendents. It is acreed
that this recommendation will n'iL
prove pleasing to the county su
perintendents, who have led the
compaign against the board of
equalization in an effort to got it
abolished.
The specific recommen<iaT,on
made by the reorganization com
' mittee is as follows:
"A division called the board of
[equalization has been set up . . .
with certain powers and control
over the school administration of
the state, and your committer
J recommends that the powers and
duties of this board of equaliza
I tion in connection with the con
' duct and administration of the
I public schools of the state, shall
I be somewhat enlarged, extended
| and made more flexible to the end
i that greater economy may be ef
fected and emergencies met in the
! administration of our public
i school system."
i With regard to the publ'c
schools, the reorganization com
mittee further recommended:
7. That legislation shall be en
acted to prevent "repeater?" in
the public schools, which would
bring about an estimated saving
of $180,000 a year.
2. That the department of edu
cation either eliminate supervisors
or reduce them to a minimum, in
order to effect a saving of $30,
000 a year.
3. That all appropriations for
the public schools be put under
the control of the advisory budget
commission, as are all other state
funds.
4. That the board of equaliza
tion be given power to fix and
regulate the high schools and to
fix the teaching load in all the
schools and to lay down rules and
regulations governing county su
perintendents.
The committee recommends giv
ing to the board of equalization
and to the budget bureau exactly
the powers which the school force.?
have feared might be given and
which they instead wanted to be
given to the state department of
public instruction or better still,
to a newly created state board of
education, composed of school
people.
There are already definite indi
cations that the North Carolina
Education association, which is
controlled almost entirely by the
county and city superintendents,
together with their most effective
propaganda organization, the
North Carolina Parent-Teacher as
sociation and their lobby here, arc
going to make an intensive effort
to defeat the recommendations of
this committee. But at the pres
ent time, a majority in both
houses are undoubtedly on agree
ment with the committee.

after arrival here for a two weeks '

presented President-elect Roose
Ivelt last night by Senators Robert
LM. LaFollette o. Wisconsin an'l
1 Bronson Cutting of New Mexico.

I explained.
j "All I ran say," he added, "is

j Under the terms of LaFollette's

While the two visitors were un

LONDON. Jan. 23.— (PU).—
The United States will demand

end of two years in return for
revision of the war debt, the
financial editor of the London

The story said this decision was
a result of unofficial discussions
among bankers advising President

while the pound sterling is to be
stabilized in terms of dollars.
The financial editor added the
American bankers intended orig
inally to urge an earlier return to
the gold standard, but T.iontagu

not be possible.

urge the government to accept
these purported terms of the

Wide Favor Won by Reor
ganization Scheme Of
fered Assembly
By J. C. BASKERVILL
The Tiinoi.-Ncwit llnrcHU
Sir \Vitlt<>>' |
RALEIGH, N. C.. Jan. 23.—The
plans for the reorganization of
the state government as proposed |
by the joint legislative committee {
on governmental reorganization,
proved a body blow to a number |
of state department heads, espe
cially some of the "Divine Right"
elected state officials. But reports
received from over the state indi-j
cate that these plans are being
approved by the rank and file of
the taxpayers over the state and
that they are expecting and de
manding that the general assem
bly eliminate every state depart
ment and agency not absolutely
necessary. A saving of about $2.
000,000 a year will result if these
plans are carried out, the commit
tee says.
The virtually unanimous vote
with which the report of the com
mittee on governmental reorgan
ization was approved in both the
house and senate is necessary to
put the recommendations con
tained in the report into effect.
At almost any other time the de
partment heads and employes af
fected would probably be able to
muster enough political strength
to defeat the proposals. But with
economic conditions and public
opinion now arrayed almost solid
lv against them, indications are
that they will be able to make
very little resistance.
"The steps recommended in the
report of the committee should
have been taken years ago, but
previous general assemblies have
lacked the nerve to buck the po
litically entrenched departments
and divisions involved," was the
opinion freely expressed here Sat
urday. It is agreed that the pres
ent economic situation, coupled
with the temper of the public
generally demanding radical cur
tailment of governmental costs,
are going to prove the most pow
erful influences in bringing about
the. changes recommended.
While it was feared by some
that the reorganization committee
would recommend some radical
and revolutionary changes em
bracing the abolition of some of
the more essential departments
and divisions of the state govern
ment. those who have studied the
report agree that it has not rec
ommended the abolition or dis
mantling of any state agency that
is performing an essential service
to the state. Many of the older
'state department heads had hoped
and even believed that the reor
ganization committee would rec
ommend the abolition of many of
the new departments, bureaus and
commissions or their consolidation
J with some of these older state de
partments. There is no doubt that
efforts were made to try to influ
ence the committee to do this. But
the committee decided to do its
own thinking and recommending
the results were decidedly differ
ent from what some had hoped
I for.
Among the various departments
and agencies which are either left
as they are now constituted or
whose powers and duties would be
enlarged, are:
The Budget Bureau.
The State Tr easurer's office.
, The State Highway Commission.
- The Board of Equalization.
The Department of R< venue.
The Industrial Commission.
'1 he Insurance Commission.
The Division of Purchase and
Contract.
The Attorney General'? office.
The State Board of Health.
The Secretary of State's office.
Department of Conservation
and Development.
The departments and agencies
which the committee would aboi
lsh entirely or consolidate with
other agencies, are as follows:
Executive Counsel.
Department of Personnel.
State Board of Elections.
Tax Commission.
Commissioner of Veterans Loan
Fund.
State Library and Library Com
mission.
Corporation Commission.
Director of Standards and In
spections.
State experimental and test
farms.
Savings and Loan Divisions of
Department of Agriculture.
Publicity Division of Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Gas and Oil Inspection Division,
Department of Agriculture.
Weights and Measures Division
Department of Agriculture.
State prison (consolidated with
highway department).
State Fair.
Superintendent of state-owned
farms.
Not all of those agencies listed
as being abolished include the
abolition of the services rendered
by them, however. For the duties
and services now being performed
by many of these are merely
transferred to other divisions.
In place of the office of execu
tive counsel, it is expected that
the governor will be authorized to
employ a commissioner of par
dons. And while - the committee
recommends the abolition of the
department of personnel, it would
merely transfer its duties to the
budget bureau and have that divi
sion carry on the same work. The
work heretofore done by the state
board of elections would be trans
ferred to the secretary of state's
office, while the secretary of state
would also be required to take
over the active management of
all state buildings and grounds, as
ex-officio secretary of the board
of buildings and grounds, all with
out any additional compensation.
The duties of the state treas
urer would also be materially en
larged to include, without extra

DAY AND NIGHT SERVICE
If you could be in
two places at once...
Suppose you could be sealed comfortably
at home and yet be enjoying a visit to a friend or relative
miles away... suppose a salesman in one city could 3<JJ
that good prospect in another city to his day's territory. • •
But why suppose? Just lift the telephone receiver,
call "Long Distance," and shortly your voice is making
the trip quickly and at small cost. For all practical pur
poses, you are in two places at once, with the full expres
lion of your personality which yo«r voice conveys.
That is why friends enjoy the personal touch of *
long distance telephone conversation. In business, 'enf
distance telephone service is being successfully used in
buying, selling and collecting.
Use long distance telephone service today—or tonight
if you wish to take advantage of the lower rates on nigh'
Station-to-Station service. You, too, will be pleased.
