Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Oct. ll.-Need for a ire
mendous expansion Of training ia
cilitieS for North Carolina Workmen,
if they are to have any prominent
part in essential national defense in
dustries, is revealed in figures from
the State Employment Service show
ing that as Of August 81 there were
registered in employment offices Of
the state only 972 skilled workers
qualified for such jobs.
That by no means covers all the
workers who are qualified, because
the Employment Service registrants
are those out of work, not those who
have employment; but the total is
very small when compared with the
total OF l77,000 jobseekerS qualified
for work in 270 skilled occupations
essential to defense. An additional
$4,000 workers were qualified for
jobs in these occupations but were
not primarily skilled for such work.
The Division of Vocational Educa-
ton, headed by T. E. Browne, has
repeatedly stressed the lack Of ia
cilitieS in North Carolina for train
ing workers skilled in defense in
dustries. This division faces the pro-
blem of having money with which
to employ instructors and train
workers, but facing a woeful made
quacy OF training equipment

REFERENDUM AZ
VITAL TO SCHOOLS
is DESIGNED TO REPLACE REV
ENUE BILL EXPIRING NEXT
JUNE
Advocates Stress That Measure and
Initiative A Are Giving Only Total
Increase Of 94ths Mill, Essential to
Operation.

Whether the state viii continue
TO provide higher education for
Montana young men and women
is to be decided at the polls on
Nov. when the voting taxpayers
of the state are asked to support
Referendum No. AZ, the first of
the measures on the ballot and
the one which Is essential TO high
err education. Unless this measure
passes, all state support for higher
education viii cease, those support
ing the measure state.
Referendum AZ authorizes the Mon
tana legislature to levy a tax not to
exceed 81 mills for the continued main
tenance of the six units of the Greater
University.
AS the law reads, some voters have
interpreted this TO mean that the pres
emit levy Is to be increased by 80 mills.
But the present levy Of mills, voted
by the taxpayers in 1890 to run for
only 10 years, expires by limitation on
June 80. l941, when the proposed meas
ure, Referendum AZ, would go into eff
feet. The net maximum increase In
tax, authorized by Referendum AZ, Is
only mtll-not 81 mills. Friends Of
higher education are anxious that the
voters shall understand the situation,
which Is somewhat confusing but has

All Units Need Aid
All the six units of the Greater Uni
versity of Montana are largely de-
pendent upon the passage of Referen-
dunn a for their current expenses, in
GLIDING salaries of teachers. These six
units are, Montana State university,
Montana State college, Montan a
School of Mines, Montana State Nor
NAL college, Eastern Montana School,
and Northern Montana College. IF
Referendum AZ, providing for the con-
tinuance and slight increase of the
millage tax should fail, all six Of these
institutions would be wrecked.
In addition to Referendum AZ, the
last measure ON the ballot viii be
Initiative A to provide for q bond is
e-supported by q 3-mill tax levy,
to furnish necessary buildings at the
Montana State College at Bo1eman.
These buildings are greatly needed to
care for the increased attendance and
expanding work at the Bozeman insti-
tuition.
The maximum increase which would
be authorized by Referendum AZ would
be 4 mills, and the total tax levied by
Initiative A Is I mill. The total cost
OF the two educational measures, there
fore, viii be ~ Of a mill. For q tax
payer who has real estate assessed at
Is, 900 and personal property, includ-
ing his personal car, household goods,
and farm machinery, at $500, the total
increase in tax caused by these two
measures would be 75c year.
