be the 'science of government, then
more political interference is desir-
able.
Selection of teachers because of
partisan or UNCONVENTIONAL affilia-
ton is admittedly bad. But the in
lection of the whole educational set
up into politics will bring about more
public interest and larger support for
the school program. That is eminent
ly desirable, from sthe standpoint of
all school folks.
Teachers circums scribed by de-
mands for partisan support cannot
do good job of teaching On the
other hand, if teachers are permit

Says Schools
Ought To Be
In Politics
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, July 24-'What the edu
cational system in North Carolina
needs is more politics rather than
less" said a we'll known friend of
public education yesterday.
He further expressed pleasure at
the paramounting of better support
for schools indicated in the Horton
speech at Charlotte last Friday.
Lieut.. Gov. Horton, recognized as one
of the leading candidates for COVER
nor, told the Charlotte Civilians that
public education in North Carolina
must not lag behind economic devel-
opment of the State. He indicated
that more money for schools would
be a major plank in his personal
platform in the campaign next
spring.
The educator referred to in the
first paragraph recalled the Aycock
campaign of 1900, when public edu-
cation was the major item and which
ever since has been called. the "ren-.
naissance'' in North Carolina. He
mentioned, too, the Morrison cam
paign in 1920, when good roads was
the major issue. The 1920 campaign
marked the beginning Of the good
roads program in the State, a. move
ment which for more than a decade
put North Carolina at the front Of
the road procession. +
Since 1900 there hasn't been real
fight made for public education. Up
to now there hasn't been occasion for
it. But within the past five or. six
years North Carolina has lost posi-
ton in school ratio. The State has
made steady progress, but it hasn't
been anything like as rapid as that
made by some other states. So, while
North Carolina is actually better off
with respect to schools than it was
ten years ago, it is relatively lower
in the scale as compared with other
southern states.
Reference was made to the receni
address of DR.. Ray NeWsOme, head
of the department of history at the
University wherein he said that the
school system was embarrassed by
political interference. 1t all depends
upon the definition of ''politics." Ad-
mittedly, the advancement of folks
in school administration because OF
partisan activity is detrimental, But

To celebrate this event, Producer

STIFF BOOST IN TAXES

Tarboro, July 24-Auditor M. L.
Laughlin, has released tentative fig
ures on a budget for Edgecombe
county for 1939-40 that tends to jump
the proposed tax rate from Sill to
$1.41. And the $141 figure is not the
rate for the coming year, as there are
several departments of county eX-
pense yet to be added
No levy has been made for general
fund purposes for the past three
years as the revenue to maintain this
fund has been derived from the pro-
fits made on the sale of alcoholic
beverages, plus interest, penalties
and miscellaneous receipts.
No levy was made in 1888 to meet
the old age assistance and aid to de-
pendent children budget for this
year. This was on account of the
fact that the county had sufficient
cash balances which was used last
year in lieu Of making tax levy
to meet old age assistance and aid to
dependent children expenditures!
There is a budget requirement this
year in the school debt service fund
of $151 ,021.44.

tering the run-off. First report of
election boards gave the nomination
to Burgin. Deane contested absenteeS
in Davidson and other counties, and
a recount showed the Rockingham
man ahead. Further protests and ad-
ditional recOunting again put Burgin
on top. Court decision gave the nomi-
nation to Deane. Appeal reversed
that decision, and finally just two
weeks before the fall election an ar
bitration board of three men an
nounced Burgin the winner. There
was lots of ill feeling which remains.
Deane has a job in Washington and
may not run, but George Ross, of
Jackson Springs, is suggested as an
almost certain candidate. He was eli
minated in the first primary last
year.
Oscar Barker, whose friends feel
that he was euchered out Of the
nomination in somewhat the same
way Deans friends think their can
didate was eliminated, is already
running in the sixth district. Barker,
a Durham lawyer, was defeated in a
second primary last year by Judge
league, of High Point. Soon after the
primary league died. The four-man
executive committee nominated Carl
T. Durham of Chapel Hill.
Barker took it as a good sport but
many of his friends did not and his
name was written in on several
thousand ballots. He expects to try
again for the seat next year.
In the seventh district, State Sen
ator Emmett Bellamy, of Whining
ton, has informally announced
against Congressman Clark. Lacy
McBryde of Fayetteville also may
enter that campaign.
Congressman Barden in the third
district has entrenched himself with
many of his constituents in his fight
for amendments to the wage-hour
bill, but the same fight has cost him
the support of the New Dealers and
the Roosevelt administration. There
is every indication that he will have
to defend his position on the stump
next summer. Just who his opponent
will be the gossipers do not say.
Young Charles Abernathy has twice
gone to defeat before Barden, and
