the public schools. It was learned at
the Budget Bureau here today.
The estimated revenue for this pre
sent fiscal year ( 1932-33) is only >21,-
200,000, although the 1931 General As
sembly estimated it at $29,000,000.
Henry Burke, assistant Sirector of
the budget pointed out. This same leg
islature appropriated $13,850,000 for
the six months school term and sl,-
fOO.OOO for the extended term aid. or
a total of $17,350,000 for the public
schools. Taking only the $13,850,000
for the six months term away from
•he total revenue in sight and a bal
ance of only $5,350,000 is left for all
the various State departments and
institutions.
Regardless of what is done about
the school fund, it now appears that
not more than 60 per cent of this
year's appropriations can be allotted
to the various departments and in
stitutions. This means that they will
get from 10 to 15 per cent less than
they got last year, and that this dif
ference must be made up either in
additional salary cuts or in decreased
personnel.

Sheriff John Stevens of Holmes
county, Ohio, is shown wielding a
buggy wtiip on William Wyn n as the
latter stood handcuffed at the cell
bars of county Jail at Millersburg in
the town's public park. Twenty lash
cuss just what would be done with
regard to salaries and personnel, point
ing out that this question will be
taken up by the Adviory Budget Com
mission In a meeting here Tuesday,
July 12. He admitted, however, that
the situation was serious and that
some additional drastic reductions in
expense will be necessary to carry the
State through the present year. He
said there was little prospect of the
State being able to borrow any addi
tional money this year.
While no proposal has been made
concerning the school fund. It is be
ing pointed out that a reduction in
the payments from this fund of 12 1-2
per cent, which would probably neces
sitate a reduction in teachers' salaries
of that amount, would enable the
State to get through until the next
meeting of the legislature on a cash
basis. The legislature could than
either validate the 12 1-2 per cent
reduction in the school appropriation
and teachers' salaries or levy suf
ficient additional taxes to make it up
and repay it to the teachers.
It is true that three different laws
now prohibit any reduction In the ap
propriation for the publiq schools,
while one act authorizes the State to
borrow whatever money is needed if
a deficit appears certain. But since
the State is not able to borrow any
more money and will not be. some
think that the Advisory Budget Com
mission will be justified in cutting the
appropriation for schools 12 1-2 per
cent and then ask the 1933 General
Assembly to either validate Its action

or provide the additional funds to pay
this back to the schools and teachers
It is pointed out that the teachers so
far have had their salaries cut only
10 per cent, while all other State em
ployes have already taken cuts of
from 25 to 45 per cent with another
cut of 10 per cent now likely.
Large Savings Possible
By Refusing Supplements
(Continued from Page One.)
stead give the taxpayers the benefit
of whatever saving may result from
their refusal to levy any additional
school taxes.
Until last year, many county school
systems were in the habit of adding
to their school budgets—and especial
ly to the amount received from the
State—by getting the county commis
sioners to levy an additional school
tax, from the proceeds of which they
employed additional teachers, supple
mented salaries and added extra
courses. But last year, when the new
Statewide school law went into effect,
this law required any supplemental
school budgets to be itemized and the
exact objects for the supplemental
levies to be shown in detail. There
was much wailing and gnashing of
teeth among many of the county and
city'superintendents who still wanted
to spend as much money and pay as
high salar'es as they had been in the
past.
Some cities and counties submitted
supplementary budgets to the State
Board of Equalization amounting to
as much as 80 per cent of the amount
received by the State for the six
months school term. One group of the
board favored limiting all supple
ments for the six months term to not
more than 10 per cent of the State
allotment. Another group, headed by
Lieutenant Governor R. T. Fountain,
chairman of the board: and Dr. A. T.
Allen, State superintendent of public
instruction, favored permitting the
counties to levy supplemental taxes
without any limitation by the board.
This latter group won out with the
result that fully $1,000,000 in taxes to
supplement the six months school
term, were levied last year.
The larger and wealthier counties
levied taxes for the larger supple
ments, although some of the counties
that maintained in the 1931 legislature
♦ hat they could not possibly pay a 15
cents property tax for schools, also
had large supplemental budgets.
Among these were Beaufort county,
home of Representative A. D. Mac-
Lean, father of the Mac Lean bill for
complete State support of the six
months term without any taxes on
property. Yet Beaufort county supple
mented its six months school budget
$17,678, or eight per cent of the
amount received from the State. Dup
lin county supplemented its budget
six per cent, raising SII,OOO from sup
plemental taxes. Halifax county, an
other "poor" county, supplemented its
State school budget 12 per cent, with
$24,000 raised from additional local
taxes. Pitt county supplemented Us
budget $13.729. or seven per cent, al
though the representative from Pitt
in the 1931 General Assembly wanted
to reduce the salrles of all teachers
and State employes 25 to 30 per cent.
Even Buncombe county, in as bad
shape as it was financially, last year
supplemented its six months term
budget 19 per cent by providing from
$82,000 from supplemental taxes.
Same Supplements.
Durham couhty supplemented its
budget 54 per cent, or $175,276 while
Guilford county approved a supple
ment of 15 per cent, or $100960. Meck
lenburg county supplemented its
budget $61,399 or 11 per cent. New
Hanover had a supplement of $71,000
or 40 per cent above the State stand
ards. Forsyth, though better able to
have a large supplement than many
of these others, supplemented Its
budget only eight per cent,, or >37,289.
Gaston county had a supplement of
only five p ercent, or >17,000.
It is already understood that quite

196 JOBS PROVIDED
IN GAMPAIGN HERE
Some Got Regular Work At
Result; Over 300 Reg
istered In All
A total of 196 >obs were provided
for the unemployed In the American
Legion campaign conducted in Hen
derson in conjunction with the nation
wide movement which had as its goal
the securing of one million jobs from
the time the campaign got tinder way
last winter until July 1. It was re
cently announced that the national
campaign attained Its goal. While no
goal was fixed locally, it was con
sidered that the drive here was a suc
cess.
Some of the jobs that were found
turned out t# be of a permanent na
ture, and lasting benefit resulted.
Total registrations were not readily
available In detail, but it was said to
day by C. S. Wester secretary of the
Henderson Merchants Association,
and wEio served as 'secretary of the
campaign for the Jbbs, that the num
ber was in excess of 300.
The secretary’s office is still serving
as a clearing house for furnishing
names and jobs bringing the two to

sible, and expects to continue to ren

One-Cent Postals
Becoming Popular
To Avoid Increase
One-cent postal cards issued by the
Post Office Department are again be
coming very popular with users of the
mails, who are resorting to this
cheaper method of communication
rather than pay a postage rate of
three cents for every letter written.
The change is becoming evident in
the mails to some extent, and is ex
pected to be more noticeable as ad
justments are made ‘to the new scale
of charges.
The postal card correspondence
leaves the message open to all who
handle such mail, as compared with
the privacy of letters, but many new
uses for the new method are being
found.
others, arc not planning to ask for
any supplement'.l funds this yem--o.'
at most only a very small supplement.
But the county commissioners in the
others can refuse to approve them
when they are proposed, between now
and the first Monday in August, when
the county budgets for the coming
year must be made up and approved.
If the county commissioners stand
firm and will listen Iq the taxpayers
instead of to the school politicians,
they can refuse ail these supplemental
budgets and save the people of the
State >I,OOOOOO in taxes this coming
year.
Some of the counties in which large
supplemental budgets were approved
for the six months term last year and
local tax levies made to yield the
money, are as follows:
