"Cheap politicians do cheap work, sc.

schools in order to deprive me of a
Uttle credit the people must hold g*.them,
and not me, responsible." pr
This was a statement made to OC
Btate Superintendent of Education to
Swearingen, in a letter addressed re
to him a few days ago by Governor tli
Cole L. Blease. in
Further on the subject the gov- M;
ernor said:
"I stated positively to the legislature
that I would not join with the "S
State treasurer and comptroller general
in any transaction, and asked
the legislature not to place me in M
that position, and stated if it did I
would not serve. The legislature
did It and I would not serve."
The letter means that the governor
will probably refuse to sign
any bonds for the specific school
purposes as outlined in the letter of lia
Superintendent of Education J. E. D*
Swearingen. There is a possibility lai
that this w'ill mean the closing of no
the common schools of the state next be
year.
WANTED MILL LEVY.
pr
During the last session of the *h
general assembly. Governor Cole L.
ni i
Blease sent to both houses a mesaage
in which he specifically stated f f
that if a one-mill tax levy was not
passed for the benefit of the com- ^
mon schools he would veto all the
SO!
appropriations for the state colleges.
Mr. Mitchell, a representative in the
house, introduced a bill that met
with the approval of the chief executive,
but, when it went to the ways
and means committee, it was killed
nil
In the committee. V substitute was
(10
framed which was passed by the
house and the senate." To this the ^
governor, in a special message, objected,
because it ^as not 1" con* tj"
fortuity with his views. lie was of
the opinion that the measure gave '*
too much money to the high schools, '
and hurt the common schools. He
vetoed the measure, and it passed 110
over his objections. "
