maintaining the splendid unif ,"TltJ o.
action hat has marked q steady aa-
vancement in our educational pro-
gress. It is said that a bill will lie
proposed by Victor Bryant, one of the
representatives froul Durham county
TO allow the republicans to lave a
majority of members of boards or
education in republican counties anL.
that democrats Shall control TIE mcni-
b%erships of boa: DIS IN the counties

appear to be popular. but has some
support. Since there is 10 he a break

it believed that the electric plan will
be more satisfactory thar the scheme
proposed by M". Bryant. Many Of the

The Rev:nU: Ril. is through 10th
branches and the Machinery Act has
started on it's way. The educational
bill providing a six months school
each year for all the children in the
State went through with little opposf-
ton; the Board of FTeaIth's sanitary
have been accepted: the new
taxation scheme was approved last !
week. the tax amendment to the State |
constitution ratified ard an enuiiah1e ,
basis for the re-assessmaat of proc
erty agreed upon. The appropriation
bill carrying relief for all charitable
and educational institutions is prac-
complete and the State high
measure will receive the finishing
touches and be a law before the end
of the week, unless all signs fail. The
joint-committee on public roads has
been in almost continuous session for
days considering the numerous hills
and a final conclusion of the
whole matter is hourly expected. Tie

members of the House, who appear TO
be fighting for n~otoriety, anr this has
resulted in the introduction of a mU1-
titude of new schemes which had to be
considered and passed upon. The
failure of the House to accept the
Senate measure has delayed and el;-

in the Senate and ultimate adjustment
by a conference committee Of the two
houses. The latest proposition is for
the State t o raise half the amount
necessary to match Federal aid by the
automobile tax and short-term notes,
if the notes shall be needed to make
up the required sum in the cooperative
h~~'e of state and government activi-
ties In road construction. Under this
rlan counties would have to provide
for raising the other half by the issue
of bonds and short-term notes. Opfn-
ion on the subject have differed widely
all the while. but an amicable adjust
ment is in prospect.
