when he says that the administration
forces battered the school appropria-
ton down to only $16,Oo0,0OO in 1888.
For the facts show that it would have
been $4,000 900 less than it was if the
administration forces. under the lead
ership of Governor Ehringhaus, had
not insisted upon a minimum of $16,-
100000 a year for the schools. 1t is
generally known here that at one
time Representative A D. Mclean
was convinced that $14000000 a year
was the maximum which could be
provided, even with sales tax, and
was ready to compromise at that fig
ure. But the anti-sales takers, led by
Bowie and Van Watson, leader of the
Fountain faction in the House, and 'ty
others of the same group who are
now backing Mcdonald for governor,
were determined not to go over $10,-
100000 a year for the schools. Some
of these also opposed any State-sup-
ported term in excess of six months.
AS to the contention of DR.. McDon-
aid that the 1888 General Assembly
deprived the schools of $S00O000 q
year they had formerly been getting
from local taxes, few here agree.
Most observers agree that even if the
General Assembly had permitted the
counties, cities and towns to continue
to levy supplemental taxes for schools
they could not and would not have
collected them, since the property
owners either could not or would not
pay them. 1t is also pointed out that
the only way the 1888 General AS
semby could be persuaded to adopt
the State-supported eight months
school term plan, was with the as
surance that all local taxes for school
maintenance would be removed. The
reason many Of the representatives
from the smaller cities and counties
voted for this plan was because they
knew that if they were left up to local
support, they would not have more
than four or five months of school,
But there is real satisfaction in
most political circles here that DR..
Mcdonald is urging the local sub-di-
visions to take more interest in the
schools. especially in the support of
the schools, and that he apparently
realizes that if the schools are going
to get any appreciable increase in
school funds from now ON, this in
come must come from local supple
mental taxes instead Of from State
funds For it is generally agreed that
most of the subdivisions, are now al-le
to increase their taxes somewhat and
thus assume part OF the expense of
maintaining the. schools again, now
that the State has been carrying the
entire load for three years. The gen.
eral conviction has prevailed here for
some time that those subdivisions
which want more teachers, a ninth
month, a twelfth grade and other
things not now provided by the State,
must provide these things from local
\ funds

MOTORISTS REPORT
RECKLESS DRIVING
Cooperating In Advising
Raleigh Of Violations of
Highway Laws
Daily Dispatch bureau.
IN The Sir Walter Hotter.
N 4 r. HtSk EkVlIF

Raleigh. Jan. Motorists through
out the State are cooperating with the
State Highway patrol in reporting
reckless and careless drivers observed
on the highways, Captain Charles y.
Farmer, commander of the patrol,
said today Some two weeks ago
Captain Farmer asked the coopera-
ton of all drivers in the State inter
ested in reducing accidents to report
the license number of careless and
reckless drivers on the highways, so
that he might write them letters. tell
ing them they had been observed driv-
inc recklessly and asking their coope-
ration in observing the law.
"Since the story carrying this sug-
gestion appeared in the newspapers
of the State, we have been getting be-
tween 50 and rs letters and telephone
calls day reporting the license MINI
bers Of motorists observed violating
some of the motor vehicle laws, Cap
tain Farmer said. Most of these give
the date, the place and approximate
time Of day the violation was observ-
ed and the nature of the violation. We
then write u letter to the owner of
the car whose license number was re-
ported to lis, telling him that the driv-
err of this car had been observed driv-
ing recllessly Or carelessly on the
date given and ask him to be more
careful in the future and cooperate
with us in bringing about safer driv-
ing and fewer accidents
1--WE are not going to use any Of
the information given us by volunteer
drivers for making arrests, but it a
driver is reported two or three times
and he still persists in violating the
law, we, will then assign patrolman
to be d1 the lookout for these drivers
and to arrest them if they are observ-
cd driving recklessly."
The identity of the drivers report
ing violations are not revealed by Cap
tain Farmer, although he asks that
those reporting violations by letter
sign their names to the letters.
DRIVERS who report violations of
the law by other drivers are not
shoppers Or spies, but are merely do
ing their duty as citizens and assist
ing in the effort we are making to re-
duce the number of persons killed
and injured in automobile accidents
each week." Captain Farmer said.

Smiths-several hundred of them
are grouped together, while all of the
John, Henry, James ard William
Smiths are grouped together. If this
were not done, it would be necessary
for one of the file clerks in the divi-
sion to search through five or ten
thousand Smiths in order to find the
one wanted. But under the SYSTEM
being used in setting up these new
files, it will be possible to locate anv
one of the $4,000 licenses on file in
two or three minutes, it was explain
ed. By using the three different shifts
in this department, it is expected that
all the files will be completed by Feb

MAE WEST CITED
!. IN BOOKING QUIZ
Fox Films Head Says De.
cenCy Drive Failed to
Cancel ShoWings.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Failure of a motion picture decency
drive to prompt a single cancellation
of Mae West pictures, while "'Alice
In Wonderland was kicked all over
the lot" was related to House Inter-
state Commerce Subcommittee yester-
day by Sidney r. Kent, president Of
Fox Film Co.
Opposing a bill by Chairman Pet
tengill to control so-called block book
ing, by which exhibitors contract pic
lures in groups, Kent said the object
OF the legislation was Ito permit the
exhibitors to hold block bookings by
the throat with one hand and pick
out the cherries they want with the
other"
Two of the best Mae West pictures
ever put out" Kent said, were during
the height of the drive by the Legion
of Decency-and I was for it-and
there was not a single cancellation.
But Alice in Wonderland was kicked
all over the lot"
Bought by Independents.
The producer also contended some
Of the films which have drawn most
objections found their way to the
screen, not through what he defined
as wholesale buying" but through in
dependents. He cited a recent nudist
camp picture, and all the Mae West
repeats"
Kent spoke particularly in reference
to testimony by Abram F. Myers of the
independents, and demanded that "he
name names when he makes the
blanket indictment that block booking
Is the cloak for dishonest practices" !"
Just as many public groups will
come here and tell you the virtues of
block booking as the other side" he
contended. 1T has put many good
pictures on the screen that never
would have got there on their own.
Not All Dishonest.
I'll give any exhibitor 20 or 80 per
cent cancellation privileges on moral
grounds, but not to just let them go
through and pick out what they want
They don't want to do away with
block booking"
He termed 1000 per cent away
from the truth" charges that ex-
hibitors could not buy pictures from
Fox unless they took everything, and
declared not per cent of the dollar
value of the industry was in favor
Of the bill
i don't believe" he said, that pro-
ponentS of this legislation could get
20 or 25 per cent of the independents
who would want bill in preference
to the way they do business now.
