school funds by the State and county
superintendents, most observers agree
Some Of these frankly admit that it
will be worth going without what they
want in the form of an appropriation
and salary increases for two years, if
by so doing they can get control of
the spending of the school money. If
they can get this control, they are con
fident they can build up an organiza-
ton which can then get more and
more money in the future.
Sell Teachers Short.
So they have now deliberately de-
cided to sell the teachers short on sal
aries in order to be in better posi-
ton with the General Assembly in the
hope of getting control of the money
spending and salary schedule-making
machinery which now rests in the
State School Commission, some of
those who should know what is going
on, are charging. They are also charg
ing that if this comes about, that the
superintendent and principals, rath-
er than the teachers, will get the
lions share when it comes to re-mak-
ing the salary schedules.

Clyde A. Erwin, Secretary julie 3.
Warren of the North Carolina Edu-
cation Association, Miss Oma Latter
ty, president of the association, and
members of the legislative committee
OF the association, agreed to accept
the 10 per cent increase recommend
ed without any contest for any more,
Ward reported following the meet
ing. They agreed, Ward said, that the
State had already reached the limit
of its ability to increase school APP
preparations from indirect tax sources
and that they were really fortunate to
get an increase of as much as 10 per
cent from this General Assembly.
Want Something Else More.
The second reason the school lead
ers and North Carolina Association
decided not to fight for any higher
salaries, however is because they are
more anxious to have certain chan
ges made in the machinery bill than
to get more money for the teachers,
those who know what is really going
on agree. In other words, they want
to get the present school machine act
changed so that the State superinten-
dent of public instruction will be both
chairman and secretary of the State
School Commission, and thus get con-
troll of the ALLEGATION of the $24, SOC, 900
a year of school funds. If this can be
done, the superintendent believe they
could force the School Commission,
by bringing pressure to bear on the
chairman, to be more and more lib
eral with them, in return for which
they could then assure him of being
reelected every four years. For if the
State superintendent should be chair
man of the School Commission, he
would be responsible to and remov-
able by the people only in the election
every four years.
Want More Control.
Boiled down to the bone, the situa-
ton is that the school politicians have
decided that it is better to stop fight
ing for more salaries for teachers and
fight instead for more control of the

end of the Capitol Building. An inves-
tigator naturally can poll 90 senators
faster than he can check up on 435
representatives.
Besides, the average senator is more
outspoken than the average represen-
tative. Generally speaking, he is poll
tically bigger man"-more indepen-
dent than the representatonal type.
few managerial representatives are
sizable with any senator, but it isn't
the rule. The rank-and-file of repre-
sentatives are kept knocked over the
nose by their respective party crgani-
cations. Party discipline is much loos-
er in the Senate.
Anyway, when an anti-administra-
ton insurrection starts, it invariably
starts at the north (Which is the Sem
ate) end Of the Capitol.
HOW MAJORITIES SPLIT
Such trouble does not start all at
once, even in the Senate, however.
That is to say, a majority does not
split squarely in two.
What happens is this:
A little group breaks off on some
one issue. Another group breaks off
on some other ISSUE Others break off
on other issues. For purposes Of mu-
tual benefit they combine from time
to time--not altogether agreeing but
conizing that they must unite in or
der to- stand.
The otherwise helpless minority U.s.
ually has the sense to lend aid to the
najority's malcontents-not necessar-
lily from sympathy but to be helping
in raising heck.
It is a gradual process.
But, next thing the majority knows,
it no longer is dependable majority.
QUICK CHANGES
In 1928 it appeared that the G. O. p.
was nearly as predominant as the
New Deal seems to be now.
Democratic leaders actually admit
ed that they were afraid their party
was finished as national political
factor. They hoped that they might
be able to keep it going as minor,
opposition organization, mainly sec
tional in character, but that was
about their best guess.
