gALEIGU, March l3.-While
!, one knows just what Gov
g,5r J. c. b. Ehringhaus is go
!, 10 tell the joint session of
; general assembly when he
dresses it tonight at s o'clock.
+. believed that he will tell it
,g emDhatically that:
inst. II must adopt an appro-
r,,ions bill that will provide
,,mgh revenue for the efficient
s,ea,ion Of the public schools,
s,,s educational and charitable
,<i,a,ions and other necessary
Iiv.ions of the state.
SOnd, 1t must then adopt n
saaue bill that will yield sui
|fisnt money to provide for the
AMOUNT called for in the appro-
,rauonS bill. and thus balance
Fac budget in fact.
Whether or not Governor
Ehringhaus will go into details
concerning the type of appropria-
lions bin he thinks should be
adopted, is rot known. But it Is
|sready known in circles close TO
|ae governor that he is vigorous
; opposed TO reducing apprOpri-
atoms 10 the low level being ad-
.va.sd by Representative Tam
! Bowie of Ashe county. and
ya of the members of the
iGE who have aligned them
SiB with Bowie 1t is likely,
d curse, that Governor Ehring-
Is probably will not refer eth
a % Representative Bowie or
Y Bowie appropriations bill by
aze. But it is believed that he
u 90 into considerable detail
|a,erning the minimum needs
d he public schools, the State
-7srsity and other educational
nS1-tionS and OF the various
utr state agencies and point
e. the general assembly the
s-g:r involved in reducing too
gG.y the appropriations for
a these state maintained activi-
Ia. After he has done this, it
|S believed he will ask the gen.
"a assembly to give very care
(. consideration to the appro-
;,.ltions bill just completed by
Re Joint appropriations commit
IS, which represents the limits
Blow which these committees
link the state should not go in
Fstlcing appropriations.
The Bowie bill, as is general
B known, would provide a total
. only about $1S,00O,OOO a
Faar for all the state depart
fen;s and institutions, including
E public schools, supported
Pom the general fund. while the
ePTOpriations committee bill
(DTdeS for a total of approx
fl.sly S25,000,000 a year for
f. same objects, exclusive of
ie state highway commission.
Preventative Bowie has already
ETed notice that he will offer
bill as a substitute for the
form!ttee bill when it comes up
OF consideration. 1t is set as
ksgecal order in the house for
l0estay morning.
Almost S4,000,000 is cut out
the appropriation for the six
nOnIns school and extended
grnS alone by the Bowie bill,
acn would provide only ST.
lOVOO for the six months and
sE;ended term as compared with
T1VoO,O00 in the committee
and with $16,1O0,0O0 at the
.Sent time. In fact, the entire
1--WE bill would provide only
|tDoat 81, 100000 more for all state
IpoSeS than the state is now
snOing on the six months and
a;shced terms alone. There are
.4leatIOnS that Governor Ehring-
|<lS believes that if the appro-
alton for the six months
WOOL term should be reduced to
~ $lO,000,000 that it would
"4aIIy destroy the efficiency
me SIX months term, as well
make the six months term just
olt the only school term in the
laen there are the various
Il .Tauonal institutions of high
Earning. The committee APP
yrlatons bill recommends a
= OF $S32,240 a year for the
%Ghdated University of North
yuma, which includes the
ape Hill unit, the State col
N unit in Raleigh and Womens
~Sse unit in Greensboro. This
"n increase of $4,000 over
amount recommended by the
|YSet commission. The Bowie
H. however, would reduce the
,anoPratiOn for the university
Ia" S632,240 a wear to $780,
\, y q year. Most of the opin-
H., mere Is to the effect that a
~, Of this size would almost
'SeS the university.
Co As result, it is expected that
a. Ehringhaus is going to
- a very vigorous stand
n Inst "a making any such slasheS
noD me appropriations for the SIX
/ OpiruS school term, the State
fcslty and all the other
