House has agreed to tins conference

haavv burden on the tax payers.
The bill will make the pension hp-

fifty years
In the compromise bill q sliding
scale of pensions is established on
the basis Of age and length OF service,

the bill has passed minus the pro-
vision excluding from its benef1s
those enjoying private incomes OF
more than s2,40e a year, and. OF
compelling the publication OF she
names Of pensioners
The Springfield Republican de-
plores the fact that we remain Weo
ded to secrecy in u pension bust

public business and goes on to say:
'Legisla1ion which perpetuates OLD

are not now complaining OF Such an
enormous expenditure on a war half

demand for a civil pension system
for the benefit Of government en-
ployes is growing stronger year by

encourages all classes of government
employees to believe that they, too,
can force Congress in time to offer
them whatever terms they prefer.

Swing FROM THE DRINh
HABIT.

lrurLernes and drinking have
steadily decreased in North Carolina
IN tn. last few. wears. and pubic senti-
ment has undergone a great change
with reference to the drink haol1
Toward those who have contracted
the drink habit and find It hard 10
break. there is no longer the feehhg
that they are hopeless or THAI tneL
are worse than other men. The feei-
ing is now that they, having contract
ed this habit, it is the duty OF thelT
friends and the public to help them
break it and put them or their fee,
SO that the temptation to drink can
be resisted. In this phIlanthropfc
work the Kelley Institute. at Green6-
horo. haE done a large and useini
work. There is hardly a community
in North Carolina that does no ON

VIII TAKE NO STEP BACKWARD

In 1901 there were eighteen special
school tax districts In North Carolina
In 1910 tho number ~ increased to
1,ls7. The great impetus was given
to the multiplication Of these school
districts under the administration Of
Governor Aycock. and II has contn~
ued during the administrations os
Governor Glenn and Governor Ktch-
in, under the immediate direction and
inspiring efforts OF State Suporintend-
ent of Public Instruction, Hon. ]. Y.
Joyner. The number now IS moro
than 1900 and is steadily Increasing
In all these years OF steady ad-
vance, not a single district Of all the
1900 In the State that voted the local
tax has ever voted to take the back
ward step Of Withdrawing 1t. 1t In
with regret that the friends Of public
education all owe North Carolina, as
we'll as IN Person county and In
Bethel Hill, have learned that an
election has been called on the 10th
Of June in that district upon the
proposition to repeal the special tax
for public schools and to remit the
children OF that district to only the
short term chool that is provided by
the regular tax. There may be some
local conditions that have given rise
to ~ssatidacGO but it Is not to be
