K|RKMAN SCANS
BUDGET NEEDS

BALTIMORE, Nov. 25.-Follow.
ing his conference today with the
heads of State institutions for the
insane. Walter N. Kirkman, Mary
land director Of the budget, will
begin assembling data he has col
lected on the States fiscal needs
for 1934-35 to incorporate the fig
urcs in the budget for those two
years which he is now preparing.
Nearly every budget submitted
to him calls for less money for
operation for 1934-35 than was ap-
propriated 'or 1928, he says.
The institutions for the insane are
burdened with an increase each
year Of 200 white persons and 100
negroes, and, where additional
construction has been necessary to
meet such increases, increased
budgets may be expected, he said.
Mr.. Kirkman IS going to Annap-
oils next week to check the States
revenues back to 1919 before pre-
pairing preliminary estimates for
the forthcoming budget. He eX
poets a decrease in revenues dur.
ing the coming year, but not an
alarming decrease, he said.

Unless the American Legion,
Department of Maryland, through
its commander, Gen. Milton A.
Reckord, is successful in its ef-
forts to have the quarter Of a
million dollars obtained from the
Maryland race tracks allocated
to the counties of the State, the

With a view towards making
the proposal an actuality, Major

The new system was advocated
by a special group appointed last

would provide to the law enforce

Mr.. Hoover said the depart

County Road Improved
Surface between Here and Blackw ood
Station Is Better Now

The state highway forces have
been engaged, in the last two or
three weeks, in improving the
road from Chapel Hill to Orange
church and on to BlackWOOd sta
ton.
The right of way has been
widened. Scrap1ng machines
have smoothed the bed, and
sand has been mixed with the
clay to reduce the washing away
of the surface. The bitches on
the side have been cleaned out,
and at some places culverts have
been put in to afford proper
drainage. The work has been
done by convicts from the camp
near Hillsboro.
In clearing away foliage near
the road, to let in adequate sun
light, the highway force has
left trees at intervals in order
to give the road a good appear
ance.
The farmers to the north of
the village are greatly pleased
at having this road improved.
Until now it has been impossible
after heavy rainfalls.

NO GOVT. TAX ON
PROFESSORS AND
SCHOOL TEACHERS
Report That Exemption Would
Be Cancelled Turns out
to Be Incorrect


The salaries Of professors in
state institutions and of public
school teachers are not subject
to the federal income tax.
This exemption is nothing
new, for these salaries have
never been levied upon by the
government; but recently the ru-
NOR spread about that the prac-
.tice Of past years would be re-
versed and that under a new in
depreciation of the law the sal
aries of state employees would be
taxable like other income. This
rumor grew out of a dispute, be-
tween the government internal
revenue collector and Mary
land state institution in which
the collector claimed the right to
tax the institution employees.
In response to an inquiry
from the editor of the Weekly,
the revenue collector for the
North Carolina district writes
from Raleigh:
Salaries of school teachers
are not taxable. Neither are sal
aries of teachers in state-main-
tanned institutions of higher
learning"
The matter is more important
now than it was because salaries
in the lower brackets are taxed
more heavily than in years past.
A professor with a wife and
two children and a salary of
$4,000 had no cause to be in
terested, year ago.in the ques-
ton of the taxability of his in
come, for the exemption for wife
and children covered his entire
salary. But under the new law,
but for the ruling that exempts
all salaries of state employees,

Chapel Hill Chaf

The following letter from a
modern father to modern
daughter is shown to me by a
friend Of the family, George
McKie:
My dear Daughter:
"You ask me if your husband
should stay on in his present
position at an "adjusted' sal
ary, but you forgot to tell me
what he would do if he didn't.
You and he couldn't very well
come here just now. Your
brother Sheridan's salary has
just been "reconsidered," so he
moved into his old room at
home and brought his wifeA
Your sister, Eloise, telegraph
ed the next day that Wilfred has
lust been offered new contract
that was an insult, so your
mother is airing out her room.
Wilfred never could endure in
suits. Your sister Frances, who,
you will recall, has been pri-
vate secretary, wrote last week
that if anybody thinks she is
going to drop to the level of a
common typist,> they are mis-
taken, so we expect her any day.
What with these and the
young children, | imagine that
as long as Rupert's salary is
merely being "adjusted,,' he had
better stay. An adjustment is
nothing like a reduction. 1T s
hard for me to keep up with the
new language of big business,
but as | understand it, an "ad-
iustment" is the equivalent to
a raise. OF course, Rupert

no right or power to devote any
