STATE rs PREPARING TO GIVE
FARMERS RURAL DAIRY SCHOOLS.

West Raleigh-One of the, move
ments which the North Carolina Expe-
riment Station is promoting for the
cut the State is the establishment of
rural dairy schools. The work viii
be in charge of the dairying division
of which A. j. Reed is chief. s
The dairy schools are run from
November to March, inclusive, and in
clude one-day meetings, two-day meet
ings and schools run in connection
with the regular day school. The
work of the station is generally con-
fined to those counties which have de-
monstFated agents, but if citizens of
one locality take the matter UP with
the dairy department and assure the
meetings an attendance of at least IL
citizens, the work will be carried on
where there is no demonstration
agent.
The one-day meetings can deal only
with dairying in a general way lee
lures being given and a few practical
demonstrations made. The three
day short course will treat industry
more fully and will be open to both
men and women. An attendance of at
least Is will have to be assured be-
fore the department will take the mat
ter up.
The cooperative dairy school will
be conducted in connection with a
high or public school and will emplo
textbooks. The dairy farming divi-
sion will furnish milk-testers and 9TH
er apparatus to be used in the work.
lne work will be begun this winter
and carried out till next spring.

Great State Victory, Say. Governor.

Denver-Governor Ammons issued
the following statement in regard to
the tax decision in which he charac-
terizes the Supreme Courts decision
as great victory for the state in tax
matters and defends the position Of
the state in the long controversy:
II consider this the greatest victory
in the direction of equal taxation ever
achieved in the history of the state.
Even with the valuation now sus-
tanned, there will be collected for state
purposes throughout the state approx
imately $4,000 to $4,000 less than a
year ago, and in Denver, with the In
creased valuation, there will be col
lected about $4,000 less than a year
ago.
With the large amount of new
property included in this increased
valuation, the rate of taxation is,
therefore, much less than it was in
preceding years, and il anyone suf'
fers from overtaxation for state pur.
poses 1t will be because Of unequal
valuations in the individual counties.
1T will be found upon investigation
that the rate of taxation this year for
state purposes is lower. valuations
considered, than for any other year in
the last quarter of a century, if not
the entire history of the state"

LOAN law
DECLARED VALID IN ALL ESSEN.
TlAL POINTS, BUT ONE.
Attorney General Farrar Declares
That Investments Must Be Made on
Direction Of State Land Board.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Tax levies by counties to re-
imburse the state school funds for
losses which might occur on loans of
funds made to- farmers would not be
valid. according to the opinion of At
torney General Farrar, but he believes
that the state might impose a general
and uniform tax levy for such pur-
pose which would be legal.
Attorney General Farrar has fin
ished draft of the opinion which
contains his essential holdings.
He believes the loan law valid and
consistent with the exception Of the
one provision making the counties re-
sponsible for any losses which might
occur to the school funds from loans
and says that plan Of operation can
be worked out.
ut seems to me obvious that one
person cannot, under the constitution,
be taxed to pay the Indebtedness of
another person." he says. Such action
would not be uniform taxation when
made by county.
He believes the investment of school
funds by the treasurer in state bonds
and warrants to be all right and
thinks no criticism of the present or
past treasurers for such Investments
can be made justly.
Treasurer Leddy is reminded by the
attorney general that he is only the
custodian of the funds and that the
laws of the state as to disposal and
investment Of funds must be the treas
urer's justification, although it is the
treasurer's privilege and duty to be
certain that the laws are safe and
valid.
The attorney general declares that
investments In state irrigation dis
trict bonds and loans OF funds to farm
ers must be made on the direction of
