Move Reported On I'oot to Cut Down School Commission iCntiMmied from rag** One.) the General Assembly set up this commission deliberately for the pur pose or taking the expenditure of school funds out v or the Irands of the professional educators and to put it in the hands of business men in stead. in order to check the former alleged f\‘iavagances in school spend ing. The action of previous legislatures in removing the control over school funds from the local county and city superintendents and from the State Department of Public Instruction hurt the pride and feelings of the school politicians more than anything else and a determined effort has been made in every session of the legisla ture the past three or four sessions to eitlier abolish the State Board of Equalization, which was changed in 1933 to the State School Commission, or else to get control of it. But so far every effort ni this direction has failed, since the legislature takes the position that as %ig as the state is furnishing the greater part of the money for the support of the schools, it should retain supervision over its expenditure. What most of the super intendents want is to have the State allot the money to them in a. lump and then let them spend it as they sec fit. This was the system in effect be fore the State took over the six months school term in 1931. when the cost of maintaining the schools, with most of them having only a six months term, was running as high as $26,000,000 a. year, with most or tli is cost being raised from local school taxes on property. For the past two years the State has been operat ing an eight months school term, without levying any local property taxes, for $16,000,000 a year. The move now under way ijs to re duce the number of appointive mem bers of the school commission from eleven to five and to have State Su perintendent Clyde A. Erwin, a for mer county superintendent, made chairman instead of the lieutenant governor, who now is chairman of the commission. In fact, it Is gen erally conceded that State Superin tendent Erwin is one of the chief backers of the move in that if it succeeds it would give him and the school forces virtual control over the commission, which is what they de sire. They maintain that if the num ber of appointive members can be reduced and Erwin made chairman that htey can then get the control of the hoard away from the “out sider." or the business men, and get it into the hands of professional school people and thus spend the State’s school appropriation more as they want to spend it. As the school commission is now constituted, it is composed of eleven members, one from each congressional district, with the State superintendent of public instruction, the director of local government and the lieutenant governor, as ex-officia members, the latter also acting as ex-officio chair man. Sweeping Victory by Admin istration Over Revenue Bill (Continual! rrmn Page One.l bloc started Thursday when the House voted f<> reconsider adoptions the pre vious day of power company tax in creases amounting to $250,01)0 and added telephone company levies of $75,000. The increases were reject ed and the anti-sales taxers never again gained a secondency. Leaders declared this morning the collapse in the House of the McDon ald-Lumpkin substitute plan of tax ation meant complete victory for the administration group in the General Assembly. They point out that prin cipal strength of the minority group ties in the lower chamber. If it is adopted by the Senate in its entirety, the supply bill will still he considerably short, of the. appropria tions measure expected to be received next week by the House. The spend ing measure as prepared by a joint committee headed by Representative Victor H. Bryant, of Durham and Senator Lee Gravely, of Nash, calls for more than .$64,000,0b0 for the bien nium . Though' eo?TfyVjvr*'i sy-anth action -on the money bill overshadowed all oth er activities in the General Assembly, the Senate moved quietly ahead with its calendar and at the close of today’s short session was in good shape to be gin work on the question of revenue where the House leaves off. The anti-rabies hill, requiring the annual vaccination of dogs, was a major measure to gain passage, at was the Andrews-Page House hill to limit to 12 hours the working day of an employe of a State charitable or correctional institution not under ju risdiction of the highway commission. The latter was introduced as a re sult of alleged antiquated methods and had conditions at the Morganton hospital for the insane. State-wide measures which passed second readings at Friday's Senate session would regulate the practice of photography in the State, repeal the law requiring an affidavit of physical fitness for a male applicant for marri age license, and repeal the Bastardy Act of 1933. A Senate judiciary committee Fri day afternoon reported without pre judice the House bill for beer of five per cent alcoholic content and action will probably be taken by the senior body next week. It gained passage in the House on a 55 to 34 vote. The Hill liquor-store bill is still in the Senate finance committee and may not be reported out until after the revenue measure is disposed of. Most observers are of the belief it will be tagged “without prejudice” when it emerges from committee. Counties hoping to receive refunds from the State for roads built by them between 1921 and 1931 and “donated” to the State Highway Commission were encouraged Thursday when the roads committee reported favorably a measure, to appoint a commission to study and report the situation. Forty four counties feel they are entitled to share in a refund totalling more than $8,000,000. The roads group reported without prejudice a proposed allocation of $500,000 for cities and towns for main tenance of city streets classified as State highways.
