Inadequate School Funds
Will Cause Pay Cut
for North Caro-
lima Teachers.
BY ROBERT z. WILLIAMS.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
RALEIGH, N. c., August 1e.-Th1s
has been q sad week for school teachers
and others interested in North Carolina
public. schools.
When the 1893 Legislature assumed
Is a State function the entire support
of the public school term for eight
months, it was realized that the $l6,-
OOO, 900 annual basis would not provide
schools of comparable standards with
those which cost $4,000, 900 last year
and $28, 600, 900 the year before. Ac-
cordingly the Legislature gave with one
hand while taking away with the other.
It was provided that all local school
levies for current expenses of schools
should be automatically abolished, but
that new levies might be voted In any
community.
It has now become apparent that
such levies will be voted in far fewer
communities than had been supposed. l..
This week the school board in Raleigh,
the capital city, definitely refused to
call an election and five elections were
held in five communities, two Of them
carrying and three failing, and, in ad-
dition, it was announced that the leg
islative appropriation was insufficient.

CAROLINAS FACE PROBLEMS
Estimate Places p Per
Cent of South Caro-
lina's People on
Relief Rolls.
BY FITZ HUGH McMASTER.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBIA, s. c.. August 19.-Mal-
colin J. Miller, State administrator Of
the Federal emergency relief program,
estimates that ATS, 900 South Carolinians
have been dependent upon Federal re-
lief for support. This is about ~ per
cent of the population Of the State. He
bases this estimate ON the fact that on
August l there were 100000 families
and 1880 non-family clients under the
care Of the relief organization. This is
a reduction from 795, 200 or about 46
per cent of the population dependent
upon Federal relief last March. A purg-
ing of the rolls is now in process and
a number of the 100000 families and
27.5OO non- family dependents will be
eliminated. 1t may be definitely said
that there has been no politics in the
administration of relief but real need
as determined by trained social workers
was the governing factor.
In the opinion of Mr.. Miller the min
imum wage of 30 cents an hour as Or
dered by the national administration
will benefit the South more than any
other section of the country because it
would tend permanently to raise the
wage level

Amendment to State Banking
Laws and New High

BY ROBERT ID. BYRNES,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARTFORD, Conn, August 19.-With
the pressure for special session of the
Legislature for an amendment to the
State banking laws to make the bonds
Of the Home Owners Loan Corporation
acceptable eased by an opinion from the
State attorney general, Fairfield Coun-
ty, through which comes the bulk of
the automobile trafic from New York
City to New England, Is raising q BIZ
partisan plea for a special session in
order that Federal funds may be Sc
cured for the construction at once of
the Merritt Highway, parallelling the
Boston Post Road. Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman Archibald Mcneil,
who also Is chairman of the Public
Works Advisory Board for the State.
this week wrote to Gov. Cross that
there is no alternative to special ses-
sion If this project is to be included
In the Federal aid public works program.
Leads Fight for Session.
Judge j. Kenneth Bradley, heading
the Fairfield County Republican organi-
zation. a few days ago took the lead in
urging residents of the county to petit
ton the Governor for a special session
to authorize the county to bond itself
for its share of the project. estimated
to cost in all 100000 to SIS ,000. 900.
It is the hope of Fairfield County that
the State itself will pay the interest on
the bonds County leaders claim that
the road will not be built in less than
10 years If it Is dependent upon financ-
ing through the usual State highway
appropriations. The plan now advanced
contemplates a toll road until the con-
struction. cost has been met.
The fact that the interest only, and
not the principal. of the home owners
bonds is guaranteed bars them as legal
investments for banks under the Con-
necticut statute. The State legal de-
partment has ruled, however, that they
may be exchanged for delinquent mort
cages, and this, according to Peter M.
kennedy, State manager of the loan
corporation, Is sufficient II the banks
cooperate as he expects them to do.
Connecticut's threat Of a milk strike
was short lived, and the producers
holiday was called of before 1t went
into effect. Credit for ending the
strike threat Is given largely to Charles
