Another step which Governor
Ehringhaus believes will bring
about much economy in the coun-

Immediately, is the enactment of
a statewide law giving boards Of
county commissioners and city

abolish any offices or jobs, regard

offices have been created by le%iS-

known fact here that many local
officials whose salaries or offices
have been fixed on created by leg

take salary GUS on the grounds
that the general assembly fixed
their salaries by law and that
only the general assembly could

by Governor Ehringhaus and
which will be introduced during
this session with his hearty sup

local governing boards the power
to either reduce the salaries IL
abolish the jobs entirely.
"The salaries of local officials
fixed by the general assembly
should be construed only as rep

these salaries and the local gov

authority to reduce salaries to
levels they think ade-

the Army woodward resumed OPP

of great assistance in furnishing
employment and in supplying fuel
to the needy.
Captain Gibbins said this morn

endeavor to give some employ

RALEIGH, Jan. 9.-While Gov.
J. c. B. Ehringhaus is in crested
in bringing about additional econ
omy and decreased spending in
every branch of government, both
state and local, ne believes that
there is probably a greater OppOr-
tunity for economy in the govern
ments OF counties, cities and
towns a the present time than in
the state government. As a re-
suit he is inclined to believe that
of all the recommendations he
made in his inaugural address,
those pertaining to greater econ
omy in the administration of loca!
governments are among the most
important he made. He is fully
aware, however, of the difficulties
incident to the carrying out of
these recommendations and that
much time will be required to see
them fulfilled.
with regard to my recOmmcn-
dations suggesting the machinery
for voluntary consolidation Of
counties ond of cities and coun-
ties, l fully realize that it will
take considerable time to bring
these things about and that it
would not be wise for the state
to attempt to compel any of these
consultations" Gov. Ehringhaus
said. "Yet l believe that if a gen.

permission to any counties or to

without the necessity of getting a

PERSONNEL DIVISION LOPS OFF
OVER MILLION STATE EXPENSE
Director Dunlap Makes
Formal Report for the
Biennium
BY J. c. BASKERVILL
Times News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, Jan. O. Of the
$3,893,45G which has been chop
ped off state salaries since 1880
81, the amount of 81, 194,047 has
been amputated by the depart
ment of personnel within the
present biennium, according to
the report of this department
just made public by Director
Frank L. Dunlap. Of this total
of $3,873,456 which has been
Topped from the states payroll
within the past two years, 81
6S9,419 resulted from the hori-
zontal 10 per cent cut made by
the 1881 general assembly and
includes the 10 per cent cut
made in teachers salaries as well
as in those of all other state en-
ployes. The $1,194,04T Topped
off by the department of person
mel is in addition to the amount
cut off by the 10 per cent slash
made by the general assembly.
This figure includes the cuts
made in the salaries of all en-
ployes of state departments and
institutions. including the state
highway commission.
Excluding the payroll Of the
state highway commission, and
considering only the payroll Of
the various state departments
and institutions, the saving from
salary reductions both from the
legislative 10 per cent cut and
the department of personnel was
81 1858 for the year 193O-31,
the report points out. Of this
amount. approximately S7O7,411
was taken off as a result of the
legislative 10 per cent cut while
S271,355 more was removed as
the result of the operations of
the department of personnel.
During the year 1928, the
present fiscal year, an additional
saving of $447,064 is forecast,
making the total reduction in
salaries for the two years result
ing from the activities of the
personnel department amount to
S718,419. The total reduction in
salaries for all these state de-
parcments and institutions exclu-
sive of the highway commission,
and including the 10 per cent
cut made by the legislature, is
thus 81, 425,830.
The report of Director Dun
lap sets forth the salary reduc-
tons for the state highway COM
mission for only one year, that
of 1912, when the reductions
amounted to $237,S14. He did
not estimate the savings from the
salary reductions in the highway
commission for this year (1931-
33) because Of the fluctuaatiOn
of employment by the highway
commission. He did say verbal
". however, though not in his re-
port. that he believed the savings
would be about the same this
year as last. AS a result, this
saving is estimated at the same
for this year as last in making
the estimates, for the entire BIZ
ennium used in the beginning of
this story. Hence these esti-
mates are the writer's and not
taken bodily from the report, but
, based on figures taken from the
report.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. (UP).
The state departments arms en-

strengthen the Kellogg peace
pact either will be buried by
President Hoover Or sent to con-
gress in an emasculated form.

ments with protests against the

would harm their business.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. (UP).
President Hoover will enter the
budget balancing controversy
with President-elect Roosevelt
and Democratic congressional
leaders by sending a special mes
sage to congress Tuesday urging
that the budget must be balanced
this session, the United Press
learned last night.
The president will say that the
budget must be balanced to main
tain government bond prices be-
cause of gigantic refunding OPP
erations which the government
soon must undertake.
During the present year a to-
tai Of $3,000,000,000 in bonds
come due. In addition, the gov
eminent must borrow $500,000,-
600 between now and June l for
current operating expenses. I'm
less the budget is balanced, the
president will argue, there will
not be ready market for new
bond issues.
Besides these huge refunding
operations, the government will
have to meet some $2,500,000,-
600 in securities in 1884 making
a total of $5,500,000 for which
provision must be made soon.
Mr.. Hoover, the United Press
learned, is not inclined to advise
congress how the budget should
be balanced. He will avoid in
truding, himself directly into the
controversy which is now the
Democrats chief concern. Mr..
Hoover put the finishing touches
on his message at the White
House yesterday.
It's submission will find Demo-
Gratis in the midst of plans look
ing toward a balanced budget,
but lacking agreement.
A renewed determination to
balance the budget became mani
fest among Democratic leaders
over the weekend, after the first
flare-up over the income tax.
Both Speaker Garner and Sena-
tor Harrison, Miss, Democratic
tax leader, indicated they were
ready to press for action no mat
ter how unpalatable it may prove.
The speaker said, on his re-
turn from New York, that he had
a better plan than the one con-
sidered there, but denied, how
ever, that he and Roosevelt were
in disagreement.
