North Carolina's New School Law

EUerybody seems to be puz-
zled by North CdrolinG's ne10
school IaW. Eren the Attorney
General, lohen questioned at the
teachers meeting in Raleigh,
said he didn't get understand it );
he aoOuld hare to giue 1t more
study before he could interpret
it. At my request a school of
ficial Of one of the large cities
of the State, lOhO / belieue is as
competent as anybody to ana
lyze the lGa0, has prepared the
summary ,Uhich follolUs. An
interesting passage in the satm-
mary is this one: "Numbers Of
teachers IN the State 1CiU be de-
priced of employment, the eT-
act number depending upon the
interpretation 1Chich is finally
put upon the conflicting pro-
visions IN the ldlo."
The Hancock Moss-Harris-
Cox school law enacted during
the closing days Of the General
Assembly contains So many OBJ
scure provisions that the school
people of the State and even the
lawyers are slow to say what it
means. There are certain pro-
visions, however, that indicate
clearly the general character of
the law.
In the first place, the State
Equalizing Fund is fixed at
Sc, $50, 600 per annum, which
is an increase Of $3,000,000 over
the appropriation made two
years ago, This increase, how
ever, will not result in more
money for the schools because
of the fact that the tax rate to
be levied by the counties for the
support Of the six-months term
is decreased from 40 cents to 80
cents on the valuation deter
mined by the Board of Equali-
cation. Since this reduction of
10 cents in the tax rate will alb
sorb the additional money pro-
vided by the State, it is evident
that, this law will result in a
partial refinancing of the six
months school fund but not in
increased support of education.
Another provision in the law
requires that the proceeds from
fines, forfeitures, penalties, poll
taxes, and dog taxes shall be ad-
ded to the proceeds from the 30
cent tax levy before the amount
to be received from the Equal
Iizihg Fund is determined. Here
tofore the amount received from
these sources has been available
for extra school expenses, such
as transportation. Under the
new law the amount of money

HENRY BOND TELLS
!. OF TAX ADVANCES
Solving of Problems Before
Internal Revenue Bureau
Is Described.

The administrative business Of ham
ding Federal taxes, before the recent
revision OF the Internal Revenue Blu
kreau, was threatened with complete
breakdown" according to Henry Her
rick Bond, who has resigned as AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury, and
whose post still is vacant. 49,.
why this breakdown was threatened,
why the whole machinery was clog
ging," how the problem was attacked.
and virtually solved, is revealed by Mr..
Bond in farewell letter to employees
of the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Explaining that appeals have de-
creased, and disposals of cases be-
fore the Board of Tax Appeals greatly
increased, Mr.. Bond in his letter made
public by the Internal Revenue News
declares, "the results have been ex-
:tremely gratifying"
More Back Taxes Collected.
more money is being collected in
back taxes and q greater feeling OF
satisfaction is evidenced by taxpayers
and their representatives as a result OF
this work." wrote Mr.. Bond.
Discussing the revision accomplished
during his ~ months of service. for
which he has received the highest COM
other oficials Of the Government. Mr..
Bond explained:
This has been q period during which
the point OF view OF the whole organ
ization has been rather completely
altered.
"The accumulation Of work before
the Board of Tax Appeals and the
courts showed US that the course which
we we're pursuing was not one that
could be followed indefinitely. Some
thing was wrong. The machinery
was clogging, and the administrative
end of the tax unit was threatened with
a complete breakdown.
Work Has Been Pushed.
"H do not mean a congestion OF the
income tax unit or in the field. be-
cause in these two divisions, the work
was being pushed through even two
years ago at speed which was bring
ing it rapidly toward a current basis.
but the speed with which this was done
and the methods employed were pro-
ducing litigation instead of agreements
and payments of back taxes. There
fore, we deliberately faced the situa-
tion and developed what we have
termed our settlement policy BY IT,
we mean the earnest endeavor TO settle
certain kinds of tax disputes by mutual
concessions. because we must recognlza
that they are not the kind OF problems
that can always be solved by mathe.
n1atical formulate. The application OF
this first was made through the spe-
cial advisory committee. Later. the
review division In the general counsel
office was created for the same purpose,
and almost simultaneously authority
was given the unit to carry on their
work in the same spirit and along the
same lines.
"The results" declared Mr.: Bond.
shave been extremely gratifying. In
the past fiscal year, we have had about
1900 fewer appeals, and 400 more
disposals of board cases than In the
previous fiscal year-a gain OF $500.
The accumulation in the board Is dis
appearing. More money Is being col
lected in back taxes, and a greater
feeling Of satisfaction is evidenced by
taxpayers and their representatives as
a result Of this work"

ADMIRAL BRISTOL WILL GAIN
DATA ON RUSSIA EN- ROUTE HOME
''TraveIing Foreign Minister"
to Return From China
by Way of Siberia.
Achievements of Former Ash
attic Fleet Commander Rec
ognized as important.
BY WILLIAM RUFUS SCOTT.


Admiral Mark Bristol. travelling
foreign minister" of the United states,
is to return home from China, where
he has just given up command Of the
American ASiatic Fleet, by way Of
Vladivostok, Siberia, and Soviet Russia,
according to advices received here.
The diplomatic achievements of Ad-
mirai Bristol have given him an un-
usual place among naval of1acers. In
Turkey he played q vital role in diplo-
macy during the earlier days Of Renal
Pasha's revolution and for the last
year or more he has been playing such
role In China during troubled condi-
tions.
Hence, his return to Washington by
way Of Siberia and Russia, including
passage along the border of Manchuria.
now marked by a near state Of war,
will give him an opportunity to, bring
first-hAnd information about the situ-
alton in those areas, provided no later
change In itinerary Is made.
Route Open Despite Trouble.
As John d. Rockefeller, Sd, now is
crossing Siberia to Vladivostok after a
visit in Moscow. the passage to and
from the Far East on that route mani
testify is perfectly feasible. Even in
the event Of violent hostilities on the
Manchurian border this route likely
would remain open. as the line over
which young Rockefeller is passing, or
Admiral Bristol may use, is entirely on
Russian territory in Siberia. The line
in dispute between Russia and China is
in Manchuria, connecting with the ST.
berian line.
Soviet authorities apparently will
welcome q visit by Admiral Bristol, be-
cause Moscow understands fully his
competency. not only in naval ques-
lions, but In diplomacy, and that even
II he makes virtually q continuous pas
sage to Europe he will acquire view
points of much significance to Russia
as well as to the United States.
II Admiral Bristol should make q
leisurely passage through Russia he
will be able to give the Department Of
State the best and latest information
on actual conditions In Russia that has
been received to date.
without consular or other official
representation in Russia, the United
States must depend upon more o. less
roundabout sources of information, but
despite this handicap washington has
