wa settling down far a twoyear

statement that the Governor

will have reached that point where
the legislature will be convinced and
will gladly enact tht? legislative nutehinery
to put the scheme in practical

will realize his wishes in the

for all will ujr.ee that the basis of
the water transportation is most
needful and praisworthy, namely,
cheaper carrying rate; for freight,
which >? thi? instance would relieve
North Carolina interests of the unjust

large part) against us in favor of

and has long been practised by
the railroads. As years of efforts
bcfcrc the CnmmercJ
Commission has failed to afford thc
relief to which the State is entitled,
it would appear that not only is
the Governor's plan desirable, but
practically is now the dernier resort
if we are ever to obtain relief.

of the legislature assembled by
the Governor are limited to twenty
days with pay. There is nothing to
prevent the session front going beyond
that period if the lawmakers
are disposed to work without pay.
even for exfnrftavS, but no such body
has ever been known in this State to
do that for longer than a day or
two. Were it otherwise, the chances
are that the reassembling of th?

and the exact amount of collections

Fairnt Tax Syslrm Ever of AM
Individual - it;;- r of N 'lth Car?lina
will have paid all together less
than one-fourth "f the total taxes.
Flint L to say, less thin three-quarters
of a million dollars are collected
from all the private citizens of
the State. No married man who had
tin income la t year not exceeding
52.000, plus $200 f r each minor
:hild or other person dependent up>n
him for support, paid any income
tax, or any other State tax. No
single person whose income was not
i? , xress of $1,000. plus the exemption
noted above in the case of the
married person, paid any income tax
or any other State tax.
The income tax system places the
burden <-f taxation where it belongs.
It takes it off the poor ami places
it upon the boulders of those who
make money and while they are making
it. Hence, the corporations, domestic
and foreign, are made to pay
the bulk of State taxes. When we
are reminded of the big dividends
n*ost of these corporations have been
announcing the past few weeks all
over the country, no one with common
sense ean fat! to recognize the
justice of this system of taxation.
And yet there have been political
demagoges here and there disposed
to buck the system, in the hope of
raising an "issue" to hoist their personal
political aspirations Ag well
might one expect to lift himself by
his own boot-traps. For. as Abo
Lincoln immortalized the declaration
you can't fool all the people all the
time.
And so. as the legislature refused
to repeal the $300 personal property
exemption law or to reduce it to
$ 100. the poor man can next yeaf
keep h?* *killet from the sheriff, and
the tenant farmer will continue to
own a bull calf (if the locomotive
does not pet it> that will make glad
John Smith's heart as it disports itself
op the little grazing patch and
bellow defiance at the tax gatherer.
And all this without having- hurt in
the least the John l>. Rockefellers
or any of their investments. For
which the people of North Carolina
will give credit where it belongs,
which is to say?in^ the great heart
of the Democratic party, the one enduring
and unchanging champion of
the whole people and sympathizer
of the under dog in the fight always.
Shipments of North Carolina
