LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
State of North Caeolina,
Department of the Attorney General
RALEaGH, 15 December, 1932.
To His Excellency, O. Max Gardner, Governor, Raleigh.
Dear Sir:—I herewith transmit the Biemiial Report of this department
for the years 1930-32.
The report contains certain tables of criminal statistics. These, as they
relate to courts inferior to the Superior Court, are inadequate and incom-plete,
because of the abbreviated scope of the statute under which they
are collected. That statute, C. S. 1588, is as follows:
The recorder or clerk of any court authorized to be adopted by
this subchapter shall make reports to the attorney general of all
criminal actions disposed of by such court in the same manner
and to the same extent as is now required by law of the clerks of
the superior courts of this state.
It will be noted that these reports of criminal statistics of inferior
courts are not required to be made except from the courts established
under subchapter IV of the chapter on courts. This excludes from the
requirement a large number of Recorder and Municipal Courts, created
under special acts prior to 1919. All of these inferior courts having juris-diction
greater than that of courts of Justices of the Peace should be
required to make such reports, if these statistics are to be of any con-siderable
value.
Opinions of the Office
Only a very small percentage of the opinions and letters of this department
are included in the report. Constantly, we give many advisory opinions
to local officers.
Considerable confusion exists in the public mind as to the extent to
which opinions of this office are official rulings. That they are such when
given to a department, officer or agency of the State Government, in rela-tion
to the official duties of the inquirer, is well established. That is
also true, by force of statute, with respect to some other opinions, such
as those to all election officials. But that is not generally true of letters
written by the department to local officers in relation to their duties.
Inquiries of this kind have been for so long constantly answered by the
department, and there has been such an increase of that practice within
recent years, it is now generally thought that such letters are not merely
advisory, as is the case, but of full official nature. This popular opinion
is particularly prevalent with respect to such letters of the department
to local officials, with regard to taxation matters.
6 biennial report of the attorney general [vol.
The School Code
Again, I recommend, as I did in 1930, tliat the school laws be rewritten
in their entirety.
The need for this is greater now than then. In 1923, the General Assem-bly
passed a School Code, prepared and developed upon a particular theory.
We have now adopted a state school system. Many statutes have been
superimposed upon, or added to, that School Code. These later statutes
do not articulate with the School Code of 1923, so as to build a structure
with parts fitly joined together. Construction of these acts is most diffi-cult,
and, in many instances, cannot be attained upon any well-conceived
reasoning. We should have an entirely new School Code. These laws
should be rewritten, upon the theory of the state school system at present
in operation, with such changes as may be made by the General As-sembly
of 1933.
Taxation Laws
I assume that the Revenue and Machinery Acts, as is the practice, will
be rewritten at the approaching session of the General Assembly. But,
the same should be done with respect to taxation laws of a more perma-nent
nature. The statutes, with respect to sale of land for delinquent
taxes, and the foreclosure of tax certificates, should be simplified.
The, Election Laws
Again, I recommend, as I did in 1930, that our Election Laws be re-written.
We should have a real Australian or secret ballot act. And
I think that the absentee voter's law should be repealed.
Departmental Appropriation s
We have submitted an estimate of the needs of the department for the
next biennium. For the fiscal year 1931-32, this department was given
an appropriation of $16,250.00, or $920.00 in excess of the then salaries.
Anyone can readily see that such an appropriation is entirely inadequate.
As a consequence, we have had to ask, from time to time, for allotments
out of the Contingency and Emergency Fund, and, also, to rely upon other
state agencies for traveling expenses, and other items, when undertaking
particular tasks for them.
Under the present law, the salary of the Assistant Attorney General,
attached to the Revenue Department, is paid out of the appropriation for
that department. This should be changed, and the appropriation made
directly to the Attorney General's office. The same is true with respect
to all other needs of the department. No other state agency should be
expected to pay for mimeographing, printing or traveling expenses of this
office. A sufficient appropriation should be made to the Attorney Gen-eral's
Department to cover these items.
The Corrupt Practices Act of 1931, and the Anti Trust Act place cer-tain
duties upon this department, with respect to investigations. No
appropriation has heretofore been made for the expense of such work. As
a consequence, when the necessity for such investigations has arisen, the
21] BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL 7
Attoi-ney General has been forced to ask for an allotment out of the Con-tingency
and Emergency Fund for that purpose. We are now asking for
an appropriation of $5,000.00 for each year of the next biennium, for
the expenses of such investigations. In using such an appropriation, the
policy of strict economy, pursued by the department with respect to all of
its expenditures, will be followed.
The Attorney General's Department
All legal work of the State should be under, and controlled by, the
Attorney General. I believe that to be the clear meaning and intent of
the Constitution. The name of the office, ex vi termini, imports such
meaning. That construction is confirmed by the express language of the
Constitution, Article III, section 14: "The Attorney General shall be,
ex officio, the legal adviser of the Executive Department."
In saying this, I am not seeking, or asking for the department, any
power or authority other than that which normally, naturally belongs
here. Nor would I seek to have this department encroach upon the powers
of any other officer. But, I am convinced that the powers and duties con-ferred
upon this department by the Constitution, are incapable of liquida-tion
by any statutory action, v/hich would attempt to confer them upon
any other officer.
I, therefore, earnestly recommend that necessary laws be passed placing
all legal work for all executive departments under the control and super-vision
of the Attorney General.
Respectfully,
Dennis G. Brummitt,
Attorney General.

OPINIONS TO THE GOVERNOR, EXECUTIVE
COUNSEL, DIRECTOR OF PERSONNEL, AND
DIVISION OF PURCHASE AND CONTRACT
National Guard—Paid Duking Encampment
26 July, 1930.
This morning, General Metts informs me that you want an opinion from
me with respect to C. S. 6869:
"All officers and employees of the State who shall be members of the
National Guard or Naval Militia shall be entitled to leaves of absence
from their respective duties, without loss of pay, time, or efficiency rating,
on all days during which they shall be engaged in field or Coast-Guard de-fense
training ordered or authorized under the provisions of this chapter."
You will find opinion of this office on that subject on page 107, Biennial
Report for 1926-28. The language of the section referred to is clear that
members of the National Guard or Naval Militia, who are officers or employees
of the State may attend the training period with their respective organiza-tions,
without loss of pay or time. This, of course, means that such officers
and employees of the State, while so attending a training period of the Na-tional
Guard, are entitled to their regular pay, as such officer or employee,
from the State and, also, to the vacation period usually allowed State offi-cers
and employees. It necessarily means that the time, thus taken by
such officer or employee attending the camps of the National Guard, for
training purposes, should not be charged against them as part, or whole, of
their vacation period.
Pardons—Conditionax Paroles
1 August, 1930.
You ask the opinion of this office with respect to your powers and duties
in regard to paroles. Constitution, Article III, section 6, is as follows:
"Reprieves, commiitations, and pardons. The Governor shall have power
to grant reprieves, commutations and pardons, after conviction, for all
offenses (except in cases of impeachment), upon such conditions as Ee may
think proper, subject to such regulations as may be provided by law rela-tive
to the manner of applying for pardons. He shall biennially communi-cate
to the General Assembly each case of reprieve, commutation, or pardon
granted, stating the name of each convict, the crime for which he was
convicted, the sentence and its date, the date of commutation, pardon, or
reprieve, and the reasons therefor."
You will observe that there is no reference here to paroles. In State v.
Yates, 183 N. C., 753, the Court held that the term "parole" imports a con-ditional
pardon. These paroles or conditional pardons may be granted by
the Governor, subject to the limitation that the conditions imposed must
BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL 103
not be illegal, immoral, or impossible of performance. It was in that case
held that when a parole or conditional pardon is granted by the Governor,
the prisoner's breach of such conditions voids the parole and cancels his
further right to immunity from punishment.
In that case the prisoner was paroled "upon condition of good behavior and
remaining a law abiding citizen." After the expiration of the time for which
he had been sentenced, the parole was revoked and the Governor directed
the sheriff to take and recommit the prisoner in order that he might serve
the remainder of his term. The Court held that, the prisoner having ac-cepted
the parole upon these conditions, he might be so rearrested and re-quired
to complete the term for which he had been sentenced. That this
may be done was directly set up by statute, C. S. 7756.
By C. S. 7643, the statute empowers the Governor, in cases where a
pardon may be issued, to grant paroles or conditional pardons "subject to
such conditions, restrictions and limitations as he considers proper and
necessary." C. S. 7644 and 7645 contain statutory regulations of the Gov-ernor's
duties with respect to recapture and recommitment of prisoners
who have violated the terms of their parole or conditional pardon.
A parole or conditional pardon may, then, be granted upon condition
that the prisoner shall be of good behavior and not violate the law. It
may be expressed in these terms without limitation as to time. It may also
be granted upon these conditions, limiting the time within which they
shall remain obligatory upon him, the date of such limitation to be set
out in the parole when granted.
Executive and Judicial Depaetjients
4 December, 1930.
I am in receipt of your letter of December 2 with enclosures—letter of
Major E. P. Costen to General Metts and of General Metts to Governor
Gardner. The correspondence relates to criticism by Judge Oglesby and
Judge Sink, of persons presenting certificates of contributing membership
in the National Guard as a basis of exemption from jury service.
It is absolutely impossible for the Governor to control criticism of this
nature expressed by Superior Court Judges. Within his sphere, a Judge is
superior to the Governor or any one else. The Executive Department has
no power to control conduct of courts by a Judge. The Governor has no
power to remove a Judge and none to suggest manner in which a Judge
shall perform his duties. For high crimes and misdemeanors, a Judge
may be impeached, but that power rests in the General Assembly. Upon
a concurrent resolution, adopted by two-thirds vote of both houses of the
General Assembly, a Judge may be removed for mental or physical inability.
The lack of power on the part of Executive oflBcers to control activities
of Judicial oflBcers is founded upon the general principle expressed in Article
I, Section 8, of the Constitution:
"The legislative, executive and supreme judicial powers of the government
ought to be forever separate and distinct from each other."
104 BIBNNIAI. REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY UENEEAL [Vol.
I cannot advise that the Governor has any power to control, or suggest
any means by which he might limit, occurrences of the kind described in
the letters of General Metts and Major Costen.
Sheriff—Removal from Office—PmvEn of Governor
3 June, 1931.
You propound to this office the following questions:
When the sheriff of a county refuses to serve process, what authority,
if any, has the Governor to act in such matter?
Has he power to remove the sheriff or appoint some one to act in his place?
To both of these questions we answer "No."
Among the authorities, powers and duties of the Governor, defined in C. S.
Section 7636, is the following: He is to see that all offices are filled and
the duties thereof performed, or in default thereof, apply such remedy as
the law allows and if the remedy is imperfect, to acquaint the General As-sembly
therewith.
C. S. Section 3936 provides a penalty of $100 for the failure or neglect
of the sheriff to serve process delivered to him for service. It is collected
summarily in the court to which the process is returnable.
C. S. Section 4384 permits the sheriff to be indicted for willful failure
to discharge any of the duties of his office. The crime itself is declared to
be a misdemeanor. He is also made guilty of a misdemeanor under Section
4396 for failure to return process.
C. S. Section 3928 declares: "If any sheriff shall be convicted of a mis-demeanor
in office, the court may at its discretion, as a part of his pun-ishment,
remove him from office."
There is still another provision of the statute which permits the court
upon petition to remove a sheriff for any willful refusal to perform the
duties of his office, C. S. Sections 3208 to 3212, inclusive.
We have thus stated to you the grounds upon which a sheriff may be
removed and the tribunal which is to remove him under proven circum-stances.
We can find no authority any where in the statute for the Gov-ernor
to remove any sheriff for willful failure to perform his duties.
Adjutant General's Depaktment; Payment. Compensation Award
17 July, 1931.
I have a memorandum from your office of July 15, together with letter from
General Metts of July 14, relating to payment of awards by Industrial Com-mission
against the Adjutant General's Department and in favor of certain
soldiers. The question is asked as to whether these awards may be paid out
of the contingency and emergency appropriation.
I call your attention to Budget Memorandum No. 132 of May 9, 1929, in
which notice was given that the State would be a self-insurer under the
Workmen's Compensation Act. Paragraph 4 of that memorandum is as
follows
:
21
I
BIENNTAL REPORT OK THE ATTORNEY GENERAL 105
"It "was also decided at the same meeting that compensation as would
accrue would be paid out of the appropriation or funds of each department
and institution, in which such claims arose, and that transfers as would
be necessary will be authorized to provide the availability. Under any
extraordinary condition and compensation accruing to an amount larger
than may be paid out of any particular appropriation, resort may be had
to the Contingency and Emergency Appropriation."
It will thus be seen that at that time it was decided that departments
and agencies should pay for compensable injuries out of their appropria-tion,
or payment would be made in extraordinary circumstances out of the
contingency and emergency fund. Of course, the effort should be made to
make the payment out of the appropriation to the department or agency. As
to whether a particular payment may be made out of the contingency and
emergency appropriation, that is a matter in each case for the determination
of the Governor and Council of State.
Commissioner of Labor—Approval of Warrants
15 January, 1932.
I am this morning in receipt of your letter of yesterday, sending letter
of Mr. E. F. Carter, and certain correspondence submitted therewith. I
have been very glad to go into the matter with the view of aiding in the
adjustment between Mr. Grist, Commissioner of Labor, and Mr. Carter, Di-rector
of the Division of Standards and Inspections.
A few days ago Mr. Carter came to me about the matter. This morning
I have discussed it quite fully with Mr. Grist. From these interviews,
previous ones, and material submitted, it appears that there has been con-siderable
controversy between the head of this Department and the Director
of this Division.
Under Section 6(b), Chapter 312, Public Laws of 1931, provision is made
for making of rules and regulations governing the activities of the several
divisions. This power is conferred upon the Commissioner of Labor by
said subsection. The rules and regulations are to be subject to your ap-proval.
Both Mr. Grist and Mr. Carter in the conversations I have had
with them contend that each has sought to cooperate with the other in the
making of these rules and regulations, and each contends that the other
has failed in this respect. Here, then, is a misunderstanding which needs
to be cleared up, but which is somewhat aside from the immediate needs with
respect to the unpaid invoices submitted by Mr. Carter.
With respect to these obligations, Mr. Grist takes the position that they
were all incurred by Mr. Carter for his Division without purchase order
or previous approval by Mr. Grist. He is unwilling to issue vouchers for
payment of expenses and purchases unless they have previously been author-ized
by him.
The State Auditor approves warrants only upon request from the head of
a Department. Under Section 5 of the Act, Chapter 312, Public Laws of
1931, Mr. Grist is administrative head of the Department of Labor. The act is
106 BIENNIAL KEPOKT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL [Vol.
rather confusing, but it is apparent that there can be no gainsaying of that
legal situation and of the other fact, that the Division of Standards and
Inspections is a part of the Department.
I am of opinion that Mr. Grist is correct in his contention that he should
have opportunity to approve purchase orders and expenditures ahead of
incurring them. I am likewise of opinion that request for allotment out of
the appropriation made to the Department of Labor for the Division of
Standards and Inspections—Public Laws of 1931, Chapter 429, Section 1
(10.3), should go through the head of the Department.
Mr. Grist takes the position that it would be illegal for him to approve
warrants for such purchases and expenditures unless they had been sub-mitted
to him ahead of incurring them, for his consideraticai and authoriza-tion.
It seems to me that the present difficulties can, and should, be adjusted by
submission to Mr. Grist, the head of the Department, of request for pur-chases
and expenditures for the Division of Standards and Inspections. I
think if it is understood that this will be done in the future, that Mr. Grist
will then go through this list of obligations with the view to approving
them if he reaches the conclusion that they have been properly incurred and
the indebtedness properly exists. I would certainly advise him to do that,
and he tentatively this morning expressed willingness to do this.
Copies of this letter are being sent Mr. Grist and Mr. Carter. The en-closures
are returned.
If I can aid further, I shall be very glad to do so. Quite frequently these
matters can be handled by seeking adjustments of this nature, and I am very
glad to be used in that capacity at any time.
Director of Personnel; Analysis of Act Establishing
27 January, 1932.
In compliance with your request this morning, I undertake to analyze
the act establishing a Director ot Personnel, Chapter 277, Public Laws of
1931, as it relates to the duties of various officials having connection with
the setting up of salaries and wages for subordinates and employees in the
State departments, bureaus and commissions.
The work is to be done in the first stages by the Director of Personnel,
in connection with the heads of the various departments. Section 4 pro-vides
that the Director of Personnel, "with the approval of the Advisory
Budget Commission (shall) fix, establish and classify a standard of salaries
and wages, etc." Section 7 provides that the Director of Personnel shall keep
informed from time to time as to the changes and the needs of personal
service in such departments, bureaus and commissions, reconsider the re-port
theretofore made, "and with the approval of the Advisory Budget Com-mission
make changes therein in accordance with his findings."
I think it clear that the results of the survey and changes in salaries
of subordinates and employees of the departments, bureaus and commissions
of the State now being conducted by the Director of Personnel are subject
to the approval of the Advisory Budget Commission before being put into
21] BIENNtAI. REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL 107
effect. Under Section 6 the changes in the salary schedule go into effect
on the first day "of the next month beginning not less than thirty days
subsequent to the reception of such report" by the head of the department.
It is not necessary that the heads of departments be heard by the Advisory
Budget Commission before that body gives its approval to the report of
the Director of Personnel. Hovv^ever, Section 11 does contemplate that the
heads of departments may be heard at that time, or they may be heard even
after approval by the Advisory Budget Commission. Section 11 thus gives
the head of the department opportunity at one stage or another to be heard
if he desires to present evidence to the Advisory Budget Commission vrith
respect to salaries fixed in his department. The fact that this appeal is
provided for in Section 11 does not at all alter the meaning of sections 4
and 7, which specifically require approval by the Advisory Budget Commis-sion
of these salary changes.
Salaries—Executive Counsel; Adjutant General,; Stai-e Librarian;
Commissioner Public Wei.fare
27, January, 1932.
I undertake to answer the several inquiries submitted to me by you over
the telephone this morning, as follows:
The position of Executive Counsel was created by Chapter 147, Public
Laws of 1929. By Section 3 of the Act the Governor was authorized to fix
the salary not to exceed that paid or allowed to a Superior Court Judge.
The Executive Counsel is not the head of a department, bureau or com-mission,
but a subordinate employee in the Governor's office.
By Section 21% of the Appropriation Act of 1931, Chapter 429, the salary
of the Executive Counsel was placed at $5,000. That Act was ratified May 27,
1931. Chapter 277, Public Laws of 1931, confers upon the Director of Per-sonnel,
subject to approval by the Advisory Budget Commission, power to
fix the salaries of subordinate employees of the various departments, bu-reaus
and commissions of the State. That Act was ratified April 15, 1931.
In 1925 this office held that the Salary and Wage Commission had power
to fix the salaries and wages of subordinate employees in the executive and
administrative departments, notwithstanding the existence of statutes with
respect to such salaries in particular instances and regardless of whether
such statutes were passed before or after the ratification of the Salary and
Wage Commission Act. The two statutes—the Salary and Wage Commis-sion
Act of 1925 and the Personnel Act of 1931—are substantially similar
in the scope of the powers conferred in this respect. It follows, then, that
the salary of the Executive Counsel is subject to control by the Director of
Personnel upon approval by the Advisory Budget Commission, as are the
salaries and wages of other subordinate employees in the various State
departments.
The Adjutant General is the head of a department. By C. S. 3877, as
amended, his salary was placed at $4,500. As he is not an elective officer,
his salary was subject to the 10 per cent cut authorized by Section 20 of
the Appropriation Act of 1931. As he is the head of a department, and
108 BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY UENETJAJL [Vol.
not a subordinate employee, his salary is not under the control of the
Director of Personnel under any authority conferred by Chapter 277, Pub-lic
Laws of 1931. There is no statute authorizing a reduction of the salary
of the Adjutant General by the Governor, the Advisory Budget Commission
or any other public authority except as contained in section 20 of the ap-propriation
act of 1931. (I enclose opinion of this office on the subject given
Mr. Dunlap June 17, 1931.)
The State Librarian is the head of a department. Her salary is fixed by
C. S. 3876, as amended. As she is not an elective officer, her salary was
subject to the 10 per cent cut authorized by Section 20 of the Appropriation
Act of 1931. Since she is the head of a depai'tment, her salary is not within
the control of the Director of Personnel under Chapter 277, Public Laws
of 1931. There is no statute authorizing a reduction in her salary by the
Governor, the Advisory Budget Commission or other public authority except
as contained in Section 20 of the Appropriation Act of 1931.
The Commissioner of Public Welfare is the head of a department. There
is no statute specifically fixing her salary. By C. S. 5006i-8 the State Board
of Charities and Public Welfare is given the power "to employ a trained
investigator of public service problems who shall be known as Commissioner
of Public Welfare." It has been heretofore assumed that the State Board
of Charities and Public Welfare has the power to fix the salary of this (5fficer
under the language quoted. In the absence of other legislative action, the
exercise of such power by that Board seems to be justified.
As the Commissioner of Public Welfare is not an elective officer, her
salary was subject to the 10 per cent cut authorized by Section 20 of the
Appropriation Act of 1931. As she is the head of a department, and not a
subordinate employee, her salary is not under the control of the Director of
Personnel under authority conferred by Chapter 277, Public Laws of 1931.
There is no statute authorizing a reduction of the salary of the Commis-sioner
of Public Welfare by the Governor, the Advisory Budget Commission
or any other public authority except as contained in Section 20 of the Ap-propriation
Act of 1931, or possibly as indicated under C. S. 5006-8.
I advise, then, that the salaries of the Adjutant General, the State Librar-ian
and the Commissioner of Public Welfare are not subject to further
reduction, assuming that they have been reduced 10 per cent under authority
contained in Section 20 of the Appropriation Act of 1931, except as indi-cated
with respect to the Commissoiner of Public Welfare.
Salary—^Commissioneb, Vetterans Loan Fund
28 January, 1932.
I answer your telephone inquiry of this morning, with respect to salary
of the Commissioner of the Veterans Loan Fund, as follows:
The World War Veterans Loan Fund was established by a vote of the
people under Chapter 155, Public Laws of 1925. The constitutionality of
issuance of bonds under the act was sustained in Hinton v. State Treasurer,
193 N. C, 496. An additional and similar fund was established under the
provisions of Chapter 298, Public Laws of 1929.
,21] BIENNIAL REl>OET OF THE ATTORNEY GENEKAI. 109
Section 7 of the Act provides for a Board of Advisers upon whom are
conferred certain rather strictly limited duties in the administration of the
Act. Provision is made for the selection by this Board of Advisers of a
commissioner of the Veterans Loan Fund. He holds his office at the will
of the Board, and "shall receive an annual salary payable monthly of
$3,500."
The Commissioner of the Veterans Loan Fund is the head of a department,
or commission. As stated, his salary was fixed in Section 7 of Chapter 155,
Public Laws of 1925, at $3,500. As he is not an elective officer, his salary
was subject to the 10 per cent cut authorized by Section 20 of the Appro-priation
Act of 1931. As he is the head of a department, and not a subordi-nate
or employee, his salary is not under the control of the Director of Per-sonnel
under the authority conferred by Chapter 277, Public Laws of 1931.
There is no statute authorizing the reduction of the salary of the Commis-sioner
of the Veterans Loan Fund by the Governor, the Advisory Budget
Commission or any other public authority except as contained in Section 20
of the Appropriation Act of 1931.
Salaries—Assistant to Director of Budget; Director of Personnel; Com-missioner
OF Revenue; Director Di^ncsiow of Purchase & Contract;
Director of Local Government; Chairman and Members, Industrial
Commission; Commissioner of Banks; Secretary, State Board of
Health; Director, Department Conservation & Development; Chair-man,
Highway Commission; State Highway Engineer.
30 January, 1932.
I answer the inquiry submitted in telephone conversation just had, as
follows
:
By Section 2 of Chapter 100, Public Laws of 1929, the Governor is author-ized
to appoint an Assistant to the Director of the Budget and to fix his
salary. This Assistant is a subordinate and employee in the Budget Bu-reau.
He is, therefore, subject to the provisions of Chapter 277, Public
Laws of 1931, and his salary is to be fixed by the Director of Personnel,
subject to the approval of the Advisory Budget Commission.
By Section 2 of Chapter 277, Public Laws of 1931, the Governor is author-ized
to fix the salary of the Director of Personnel, such salary not to exceed
the sum of $6,000. Regardless of whether he is, or is not, a subordinate and
employee in the Governor's office, under general principles he, of course,
would have no authority to fix his own salary; therefore, I advise that the
Governor has the power to fix his salary.
Under Section 2 of Chapter 232, Public Laws of 1929, amending Section
6 of Chapter 40, Public Laws of 1921, the salary of the Commissioner- of
Revenue is to be fixed by the Governor with the approval of the Ad"visory
Budget Commission.
By Section 14, Chapter 261, Public Laws of 1931, the salary of the Direc-tor
of Purchase and Contract is to be fixed by the Governor, with the ap-proval
of the Advisory Budget Commission. In my opinion this officer is
the head of a bureau and not a subordinate or employee therein; therefore,
110 BJPiNNIAL I!£I>OKT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL [VoJ.
the Governor has the right to fix his salary, subject to the approval of the
Advisory Budget Commission.
By Section 7, Chapter 60, Public Laws of 1931, the salary of the Director
of Local Government, as such Director and Secretary of the Local Govern-ment
Commission, is to be fixed by the Governor with the approval of the
Advisory Budget Commission. This ofiicer is the head of a bureau or
commission and therefore, not a subordinate employee.
By Section 9, Chapter 274, Publio Laws of 1931, amending section 52.a of
Chapter 120, Public Laws of 1929, the salaries of the Chairman and each
member of the Industrial Commission are to be fixed by the Governor, sub-ject
to the approval of the Advisory Budget Commission.
By Section 6, Chapter 243, Public Laws of 1931, the salary of the Com-missioner
of Banks shall be fixed by the Advisory Budget Commission. This
oflEicer is the head of a department or commission and therefore, not a sub-ordinate
employee.
Under C. S. 7053, as amended, the Secretary of the State Board of Health
shall receive such salary as may be fixed by the State Board of Health, not
to exceed $8,000. This officer is the head of a department or bureau, and
therefore, not a subordinate employee.
Under Section 14, Chapter 122, Public Laws of 1925, the salary of the
Director of the Department of Conservation and Development is to be fixed
by the Governor, but not to exceed the salary paid to the State Geologist
at the time of the enactment of said Chapter 122, Public Laws of 1925. (I
am not advised what that salary was.)
By Section 1, Chapter 146, Public Laws of 1931, rewriting and amending
C. S. 3846.f, the salary of the Chairman of the Highway Commission was
fixed at $7,500. This officer is the head of a commission and not a subordinate
or employee. I find no statute permitting change in this salary other than
as contained in Section 20 of the Appropriation Act with respect to the
10 per cent cut, and this salary is not subject to revision except as therein
permitted.
By Section 5, Chapter 2, Public Laws of 1921, the State Highway Com-mission
was authorized to fix the salary of the State Highway Engineer,
with approval of the Governor. He is a subordinate and employee in the
State Highway Commission. The power to fix his salary, as conferred by
the Act referred to, is superseded by Chapter 277, Public Laws of 1931,
and the Director of Personnel, therefore, has the right to fix his salary, with
the approval of the Advisory Budget Commission.
Department ok Labor; Division of Stand.^rds and Inspection—
Control of Appeopriation
9 February, 1932.
In compliance with request in your letter of January 14, I considered
letter of Mr. E. F. Carter, Chief of Division of Standards and Inspection
in the Department of Labor, other correspondence submitted therewith, and
wrote you result of my investigation and the conclusions I had reached
on January 15.
21] BIENNIAL KEPORT OF THE ATTOKNEY GENERAL 111
Other complaints in relation to the whole subject have come to your
office from Mr. Carter, accompanied by copies of correspondence dealing
with certain accounts apparently contracted by Mr. Carter for his Division.
It is quite apparent that Mr. Carter needs to conduct the DivisiorT of
Standards and Inspection as a subordinate division in the Department of
Labor and not as an independent organization of which he is the head. It
appears that he assumes to make travel and purchase authorizations as the
head of a department. Mr. Grist, as Commissioner of Labor, is executive
and administrative head of the Department of Labor; Mr. Carter is Chief
of the Division of Standards and Inspection. He is a subordinate in the
Department of Labor. Mr. Grist is entirely right in his contention that
the funds appropriated to the Division of Standards and Inspection in the
Department of Labor are to be expended upon his authorization.
I find also that Mr. Grist is insisting that accounts for travel expense
be itemized in the way that obtains in other Departments; that there should
be no lump sum authorization for such travel expense. In insisting upon this,
Ml*. Grist is simply following the correct practice.
It seems that Mr. Grist held up authorization of salary vouchers for some
days. I have told him that there was no authority for this, and that salary
vouchers should be approved in accordance with the salary schedule as here-tofore
set up by the Salary and Wage Commission and as approved or mod-ified
by the Director of Personnel with the approval of the Advisory Budget
Commission. All requests for authorization of expenditures other than
salaries should be submitted in the proper way to Mr. Grist as head of the
Department.
The Harwood Investigation
11 February, 1932.
In accordance with your verbal request this afternoon, I submit tHTe fol-lowing
additional and written report in the Harwood case:
Based upon an audit of the License Bureau of the Revenue Department
made by Messrs. A. H. Howell and Carl K. Marler for the Auditor's Depart-ment,
a civil action was brought June 5, 1931, in the name of the State, Hon.
R. A. Doughton, former Commissioner of Revenue, and Hon. A. J. Maxwell,
his successor, against Miss Lola G. Harwood, a former clerk in that Bureau,
alleging that she had failed to account for the sum of $4,903.00, proceeds of
license taxes passing through her hands, and had converted the same to
her own use. At the same time certain deposits of Miss Harwood in certain
banks in the City of Raleigh, amounting in the aggregate to $2,987.32, were
attached.
On July 30, 1931, Judge Walter L. Small made an order in the cause di-recting
that the plaintiffs supply the defendant with a copy of the audit in-volved
and allow the defendant and her counsel opportunity to examine the
books, records and papers in the office of the Commissioner of Revenue per-taining
to the matters and things in controversy, and allowing defendant
thirty days from August 10 in which to file answer. Answer was filed
for the defendant through her attorneys, Messrs. Smith & Joyner, on Septem-
112 BIK.\NIAL HEI'ORT OF THE ATTORNEY OENERAI. [Vol.
ber 11, 1931, in which she denied the allegations of the complaint or any
indebtedness to the State.
At the September Term, 1931, of Wake Superior Court a bill of indict-ment
was returned by the grand jury charging Miss Harwood with embez-zlement
of the said sum of $4,903.00. Hon. J. C. Little, Solicitor of the
Seventh Judicial District, has, of course, been in charge of this criminal
prosecution. We have frequently conferred with him about the case, and
assured him that we would assist in it in any way desired by him.
The civil action was set for trial on October 28. Messrs. Smith & Joyner
objected to trial at that time on the ground that they were not present
when the case was so set for trial, and that it was not entitled to such
early trial based upon its place on the civil issue docket.
At January Term, 1932, by consent the civil action was referred by Judge
William A. Devin to Mr. J. M. Broughton, of the Raleigh Bar. Mr. Brough-ton
gave notice that he would enter upon the hearing at a room in the Rev-enue
Building on the morning of February 1. notice of which hearing was
carried in the public press.
Commissioner Maxwell and I have constantly declined to consider any
compromise of the case. At all times we have said to those representing
Miss Harwood that the State would insist upon payment of the full amount
found to be due, the audit, of course, being subject to any correction which
might be made therein on the facts as they might be found.
Counsel for the defendant suggested a conference with representatives of
the Revenue Department and this Department to be held on the morning
of February 1, prior to the hearing before the Referee, with a view to going
over the items in the audit as made. In that conference our Auditors reached
the conclusion that we could not sustain two items in the audit, aggregating
$75.00. We thereupon informed counsel for the defendant that we would
consent to elimination of these two items and settlement of the civil case
on payment to the State of the sum of $4,828.00.
At the conference on Monday morning, February 1, at the Revenue Build-ing
there were present Assistant Attorneys General A. A. F. Seawell and
Walter D. Siler, representing the State, Mr. W. B. Jones and Mr. Willis
Smith, representing the defendant, Mr. R. R. McLaughlin, License Tax
Deputy in the Revenue Department, Messrs. A. H. Howell and Carl K.
Marler, the Auditors who had made the audit, John K. Dorseft, an employee
in the Department, and occasionally some other employees of the Revenue
Department came to the room to give such information as they might,
when desired.
Upon the order made by Judge Small on July 30, 1931, Judge John H.
Harwood, father of the defendant, had had access to the books and records
in the Revenue Department for the purpose of examining them. On some
days he had been admitted to the building by the janitor for this purpose
prior to the opening of the offices for work in the morning and some times
would remain after the offices had been closed.
Since the making of the audit the correspondence relating to the various
items that entered into it has been in the possession of Mr. Howell. The
regular official records showing the issuance of licenses had remained in the
Department.
21] BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY GE.XKHAI, 113
At the conference on February 1, Messrs. Smith and Jones had with them
notes or memoranda prepared by Judge Harwood as guide to them in their
examination of the records material to the inquiry. When the regular
oflBcial records of the office pertaining to the issuance of licenses were ex-amined,
certain erasures, substitutions and mutilations were found, which
the Auditors stated were made after the audit. All of these tended to ex-culpate
Miss Harwood.
The attorneys for the defendant called for certain copies of letters relating
to particular items and which were supposed to explain the transactions
in Miss Harwood's favor, their request for such copies of letters being
based upon the notes or memoranda supplied them by Judge Harwood. No
such copies of letters were found in the correspondence which had remained,
as stated, in the hands of Mr. Howell. Search was made in other files in
the Department, and finally several such copies of letters were found. These
copies of letters as so found bore no relation to the files of cases in which
they were so found. The appearance of these copies of letters, their con-tents
in relation to the matters they were supposed to explain, and otTier
indicia which they bore seem to exclude any possibility of their genuineness.
On the afternoon of Tuesday, February 2, Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Seawell and I
went to your office and officially reported these matters to you. and it was
agreed that the investigation should be completed and such action taS^en
at the appropriate time as the facts found should justify.
We instructed Mr. Howell and Mr. McLaughlin to continue their search
in the files of the Department so as to ascertain if there were copies of
letters of a similar nature. They have done so and have reported to Mr.
Maxwell and me that they have now found twenty-eight copies of such let-ters
purporting to relate to items in the audit. These copies were found
scattered at random in older files of the Department and without relation
to whether they properly belonged to the particular file in which they ap-peared.
The copies of letters so found, if genuine, would tend to exculpate
Miss Harwood from the charge brought against her.
The case has been handled with celerity and dispatch, and brought to the
point of a hearing quite earlier than is usual in cases of similar magnitude
handled by this Department or generally in suits of such nature between
private citizens. We have expected that judgment for, and payment of,
the full sum due the State, $4,828.00, would be consummated next week.
Members, State Board of Elections; Appointment; Terms of Office
9 March, 1932.
Referring to our conversation of this morning relating to appointment
and terms of office of members of the State Board of Elections, I call your
attention to Section 9, pamphlet copy of election law, C. S. 5921, which
is as follows:
"There shall be a State Board of Elections, consisting of five electors,
whose terms of office shall begin on the first day of June, one thousand
nine hundred and five, and continue for two years and until their successors
114 BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL [Vol.
are appointed and qualified. The Governor shall appoint the members of
this board and not more than three of them shall be of the same political
party. Their successors shall likewise be appointed by the Governor, and
their term of office shall continue for two years and until their successors
are elected and qualified."
It is evident that the statute contemplates appointment of members of
this Board for terms to begin on the first day of June in the odd numbered
years. However, you will observe that their terms continue "until their
successors are appointed and qualified." Therefore, present members of
the Board have remained in office and for the performance of their duties
to the present time.
I suggest that your proper course would be to go ahead and make these
appointments now. The terms of these appointees would, I think, end on
the first day of June, 1933, or when their successors are appointed and
qualified.
DiKECTOi: OF Personnel; State Prison Department
21 March, 1932.
Some days ago authorities of the State Prison infoi'med me that you
wanted the opinion of this office as to whether the State Prison comes with-in
the terms of Chapter 277, Public Laws of 1931, relating to duties and
powers of the Director of Personnel.
The powers given by that Chapter to the Director of Personnel withT re-spect
to positions to be filled and salaries to be paid extend to "every de-partment,
bureau and/or commission of the State." By Chapter 163, Public
Laws of 1925, the law with respect to the State Prison was rewritten.
C. S. 7698, as so rewritten, is as follows:
"The State's Prison shall be and continue a department of the State
government and it shall be vested with all the property, real and personal,
choses in action and other rights now owned, held or enjoyed by the former
corporation known as the State Prison."
The official title of the state prison as continually referred to in that
Chapter is "The State Prison Department." The act, then, as so written
makes the State Prison a department of the State government. All State
departments are included within the terms of Chapter 277, Public Laws of
1931.
It follows, then, that the Director of Personnel, subject to approval and
review by the Advisory Budget Com
