Raleigh. Nov. 18.—The adoption of
new textbooks in geography, effective

chairman of the commission, A. E.
Akers, of Roanoke Jtapids, admitted
that the report had been agreed upon
but had declined to say what it re
commended.
The report recommends three dif

not include the series published by
the American Book Company and now
in use. The three series recommended
are all so-called "one cycle” series,
calling for a separate book for each
grade. This would require each child

Raleigh, Nov. 166. -With the State
government facing an accumulated
deficit of $11,865,000 at the end of this
present fiscal year and with the in
coming governor and most of the
members of the General Assembly
pledged to remove the 15 cents State
property tax for the six months school
term, the opinion is growing here that
the enactment of some kind of a sales
tax is almost inevitable. The general
belief is also that this sales tax will
be a combination of both the general
and luxury sales taxes, since most of
those who are familiar with the needs
of the State and its dwindling re
venues agree that neither a general or
luxury sales tail will y?eld enough re
venue to take care of these needs and
balance the budget.
In order to pay off the accumulated
deficit of $11,865,000 and remove the
15 cents property tax, supposed to
yield $4,500,000 the legislature will
have to find $16,365,000 in new re
venue. it is pointed out. And if it
should try to do what the school peo
ple of the State want and provide

term with no tax on property a total

Many prominent men from varioitf

alike.
"3. Credit machinery to prevent
foreclosures, to reduce interest chargee
and to give the farmer a fighting
cnance to hold his farm and bis home
“4. Reduction of government cost
local. State and .national, and a
lightening of the burden on real es
