COUNTY i.
GOVERNMENT
Reform Along This Line VIII Be
of Governors Aims in Ne xt
General Assembly

County government reform@ll Il be
one of the major objectives Of Gov
ernor McLean's program in the next
general assembly.
The governor has made known his
purpose to actively champion the en-
actment of legislation to put county
government upon the same sound
basis that characterizes the govern
ment of the state.
The governor laid the ground work
for such an undertaking two years
ago when in his first message to the
legislature he called attention to the
need for more modern system of
county government. Soon afterwards,
at the suggestion of the State Asso-
citation of County Commissioners, he
appointed commission to make an
exhaustive study of county govern
ment and to recommend methods of
undermining and improving it. That
commission reported few months
ago first to the 1926 meeting of the
Association of County Commission
ers, and then to the governor. The
report includes an elaborate plan for
reorganizing the present system. 1t
probably will be made the basis of
the legislation to be sought
The same energetic effort will be
put forth to obtain the necessary
machinery for recognizing the coun-
ty government system as was de-
voted to the securance of legislation
by which the states business system
has been set up.
While reserving his definite recon-
mendations for the general assembly,
the governor points to three things
primarily needed to insure more
modern and improved system of
county government. One is an ade-
quate system of accounting, the sec
Ond is better government organiza-
ton and the third is good" budget
plan"
The governor is for the budget
first and foremost. He would put it
to work not only in the state gov
ernment, the cities and the counties,
b1t ho yor1d mt II into ayar,, bo,,ca
hold in the state.

PERJURY ON INCREASE
SINCE PROHIBITION

Raleigh, Nov. 22.-Perjury is ram
pant in the courts today, Federal
Judge Isaac NJ Meekins declared
from the bench at the opening of
United States district court here to-
day, charging that during the five
years since the enactment of the
Volstead act the commission of per-
jury has been greater than ever be-
fore in the history of the govern
ment.
Many good man does not want to
admit the possession of whiskey,
Judge Meekins said, and he will COM
NIT perjury, violating law classed
as felony, rather than admit a vio-
alton which is only misdemeanor.
The laxity of court attaches in the
administration of oaths to witnesses
under examination was also blamed
by the court for the extent of per-
jury.

ASKS FOR $2,5OO,OOO
EQUALIZING FUND
Increase to Aid Poor Counties to Ex-
tent of Supplying Standard
Schools.

Raleigh, Nov. 19.-Seeking the
largest increase of any department
or institution appearing before the
budget commission at its series of
hearings lasting over the past two
weeks. A. T. Allen, superintendent of
public instruction, has presented his
claims for an allotment of $780,
coo for the public school equalizing
fund during the next biennium
Superintendent Allen consumed
the entire afternoon. He presented
arrays of facts, figures and theories
demonstrating eXhaustively what the
fund purports to do and what it has
done. He declared that it was the
only means whereby equality of edu-
cation could even be approximated in
North Carolina.
During the present biennium the
fund received $1.500,000 annually.
For the next a million-dollar increase
Is sought. Around it has centered the
undercover battle for funds that has
brought the institutions of higher
earning, also seeking increases, in
conflict with the request of the pub
lie school system.
Superintendent Allen was Piled
with questions. He was asked the
effect if the increase was not grant
I'd. He replied that it would mean
higher taxes for schools in poorer
counties. He explained that the pur-
pose of the fund now was to aid poor
counties to the extent of supplying
them with standard schools, but at
the same time allowing their school
tax rate to remain on the basis of the
statewide average. He admitted
that this could never be worked out
abs olutely in practice because of
varying local conditions, but he pro-
duced chart purporting to show the
results obtained through the admin
istration of the fund over the first
year of operation.
He said that every hundred thou
sand dollars Topped off his request
meant raising the school tax rate in
these poorer counties one cent on the
hundred dollars.
At the request of the commission
he diSSected his reuuest and showed
S2,022. 600 was proposed to equalize
teachers salaries and that the re-
mainder was intended for transporta-
ton, emergency and similar funds.

GREAT DEMAND FOR
WATAUGA COUNTY CHEESE

Many orders are being received for
Watauga county cheese that cannot
be filled. Watauga factories have
turned down orders during the past
six weeks amounting to $4,000. The
orders could not be filled because the
factories have contracts ahead for
quantities of cheese not yet made
The Beaver Dam factory has just
finished manufacturing cheese for an
order received in September.
This is good indication that Wat
auga cheese is finding its way to the
markets and that the public is salts
fled with the quality that is being
made
At the present time 757 AIT pounds
of milk is being made into cheese an
nually in North Carolina. North
Carolina consumes annually $780,
600 pounds of cheese, which is equiva-
ASAAS W c-1oVO,VOO pOuHuS VI iIllh.
Three cows on each farm in Watau-
ga, Avery, Ashe and Allegheny coun-
ties could produce this amount of
milk which, if made into cheese and
sold on the present market would
bring $1,S15,000
This would be fine income and is
within the reach of every farmer. If
there is no cheese factory in your
section, get ten farmers to agree to
furnish one hundred pounds of milk
each per day and build factory.
will be glad to give information rela-
tive to organization, building or
operating cheese factories. My Of
flee is located over the Watauga
County Bank.
