-y!', v.," =
As a result of the /Revaluation
Act, there sre some who will
pay more and some who will
pay lees taxes than Jhey paid
last year, depending, of course,
whether heretofore a low or high
valuation was placed on their
property. An effort was made
under the act .to value all prop
erty at its cash value, which
raised the value of nearly all
property and some more than
another. The act was passed
unanimously by the Legislature
by both Democrats and Repub
licans. On every valuation
board there were both Demo
crats aqd Republicans. And it
comes with bad grace now for
the Republicans to attempt to
make a campaign issue of it.
Gov. Cox has proven part of
hip charge-aa to the big Republi
can "slush" fund by Republican
witnesses. Perhaps he would
be able to wholly substantiate
his charge, but for the fact that
the investigating committee is
under Republican domination.
Schools and colleges opening
this week and last are crowded
to the limit, and many have
failed of admission. -

RALEIGH LETTER
Special Correspondence.
Ralegh, Sept 6.—The registra
tion and voting by the women of
North Carollua at the general
election in November. i» a subject
that is just now enlisting the at
tention of of the
campaigns of the two parties. The
statement has been given pub
licity that the Republicans will
make every effort to poll "the
full Republican woman vote"
(whatever that may mean), and
the warning added that the demo
cratic women of the State should
be urged to exercise the franchise
to their full strength.
Ceantjr and Precinct Work Weeded.
State Chairman Warren, in
charge of Democratic State Head
quarters in Raleigh, was asked to
day by your correspondent about
the matter. Mr. Warren stated
that he bad written to all the
county chairmen of the party,
urging them to properly arrange
for the registration of Democratic
women within the registration
period, which is from September
30 to October 23. Much latitude
is left to the. local Democrats in
e4ch county in looking after this
important matter. The appoint
ment of precinct committees, who
shall arrange for local meetings,
with speakers to address the wo
men and advise them as to their
new duties as voters, is urged. A
full registration of women in each
precinct is the one first step
meet the activities of Republican!
to poll a large woman vote. "The
situation demands it," said Chair
man Warren.
ReglftraUon of Absentee Voter*.
Another important phase of the
situation should be looked after.
Thousands of women, as well as
men, especially school teachers,
will not be at their voting place
on election day, their work else
where making it inconvenient and
sometimes impossible. All such
should AT ONCE take advantage
of the absentee voter's law to in
sure their right to vote. All who
expect to bp absent from their
home preoincts during the regis
tration period have the rLht to
register without waiting until the
date for the opening of the regis
tration books September 30. They
can register any time by applying
to the Chairman of the County
Board of Elections. This is a
matter that should be attended to
at onee.
No Democratic woman should
tail to cast her ballot in Novem
ber, for the success of the Demo
cratic party largely depends upon
her exercise of the franchise—
whether she formerly favored the
suffrage ainendtneut or not. If
the Democratic women who did
not favor the amendmeut should
refrain from voting, it would put
them and the party in a disad
vantageous position. All that Is
neoosaary is that they shall real
ise the importance of their action,
and the State Headquarters is re
lying on the county chairmen and
precinct committees to look care
{plly to this end of the work. The
white women are uo less patriotic
than the men and they will not
see good government jeopardised
by any remissness on their part,
once they are made to realise the
situation.

LLEWXAM.
Candidate J. J. Parker Criticises Re
valuation Act and Misquotes
Tax Levy.'
To The Gleaner.
In a speech delivered at But
lington Monday night by Mr." John
J. Parker, Republican candidate
for Governor, he criticiaed the
revaluation act. If he wanted to
do this, that waa all right from a
political view point, but when he
proceeded to illustrate to the peo
ple of Alamanoe how the revalua
tion act would work in Alamanoe,
he should have gotten his figures
from an authoritative source so
they would have been correct.
If the newspapers, and many
who heard Mr. Parker did not
misunderstand him; he said that
in 1919 the total tax rate for State
and county purpoaea in Alamanoe
county wvs $1.36. This was cor
rect. He furthor stated thac in
1920 the tax rate waa 62c. on the
SIOO.OO property valuation. Thia
was incorrect. For 1920 the total
tax for State and county purposes
is 50c. on the SIOO QO property
valuation, about 25 percent less
than Mr. Parker stated. Exclu
sive of State tax thia is 37c. on
the SIOO.OO property valuation.
Of thia fifty cent levy, 29c. goes
to the sohools of the. State and
county and only 210. for all other
purpoaea. Woutß anyone lower
this tax for schools ?
To the end that voters of all
pftrtlsß diaj b® oorfcctly iofonii6d|
I aak you to publish- this, and,
while I do not know Mr. Parker
personally, I do know him by
reputation, and I feel certain that
