Tornadoes In Alabama and Missis sippi Tuesday besides doing a big I property damage took a toll of 36 1 ' llyes. James D. Phelan of San Francisco, a former Senator from California, has been selected to nominate McAdoo for the Presidential nomination at the Democratic Convention to be held In New York soon. The Wake County Bar, we notice, has endorsed Judge Henry A Grady, for appointment on the Supreme Court bench. Franklin County will, no doubt, be glad to have the pleasure ot add ing its endosement. The Senate Committee has rejected the Ford proposal for Muscle Shoals. No doubt they are right. This pro perty should only be allowed to get Into the hands ot the friends of the farmers and it appears that Ford is not so Inclined. Saturday June 7th is the day of the primary for the purpose of nominating candidates for the several county of fices. It is your duty Mr. Voter to go out to the polls on this day and cast your vote for the persons in your judgment will make the best officer. t A headline reads "Business Slump Hits Banks Hard." Nothing strange about that. The cause of "business slumps" Is usually due to the decreas ed capacity of farmers and laborers to make purchases which means that their earning capacity has been ex periencing a "<lump" also. And It Is only natural that when you cut the roots of a tree you affect all the branches. HOME llEMOJiSTKAIIOS DEPT.

That is the way the Executive Sec retary of Boys' and Girls' Clubs of the American Bankers' Association de scribes club -work in a recent report to his association. He states that this system of education returns in a year all the money invested in it with 23 percent interest added.' This cjpim is warranted by the fact that iWe total investment in boys' and girls' club work in 1922. including leadership, labor, feed, seed, animals etc., was a little over $6,000,000, while the market value of the products was $7,600,000, making a net profit of $1,445,000. 600. 000 boys and girls were enraiied in the various cluba/TSBtiitry work being highly popular. The indirect Benefit resulting from the education of boys and gtrls In better methods of pro duction, familiarizing them with busi ness practice and awakening their in terest and enthusiasm, is regarded as much men's important than the di rect return*. WHEN DID ttR. BAILEY BECOME THE i'RIEM) OF THE FARMER! The views of a candidate tor the public office are subject to analysis to ascertain if he offers a safe lead ership to follow. Mr. Bailey talks a great deal about taxes. This is not ? new subject with Mr. Bailey. He baa dlscuibM taxes man# times and often, and there is no pmition that be has at any time taken any phase of the tax question that is not di rectly in conflict with the position that he bM taken on the same ques tion at otber times. Until he became a candidate for Governor, all of these positions were hostile to the farmer and small land owner. Mr. Ballsy's first serious effort to reform thA tax system of the State ?was In his sponserlng the proposed taxation amendment to the Consulta tion, which was voted on In 1914. This provided for "segregation," on the theory that the State would take air the advalorant and otherwise taxes on ?11 the property of railroads and other ?orporatloni tor State revenue, and l?ave to the counties, cities and school districts omr the property of indi viduals to tax (or all local purposes. This amendment, though favored by Mr. Bailey. largely defeated by |ki people. and mainly for the reason that they dl Id not want the counties be deprtfred of all taxes on rall 1 and otssr corporation property. Bailey U now ooraplalnlng, though counties tare all the ad-valorem " on railroad and other corporate it> ? im, just a short time noed U? candidacy power, and that unimproved land should go tax tree. Coder this schema, a rich man who held uauaad farm I land or city property for speculative I purposes only would pay no tax on ' his land, while upon the other hand, it a small farmer, by diligent effort and hard -work, made his Itttte farm highly productive, he would he com pelled to pay a very high tax. In other words, farmers who were diligent, thrifty and economical, would pay all the land tax, and the speculator would pay no tax, even though he should own thousands of acres of unused farm lands -and thousands of dollars worth of unimproved city property. This proposal was so outrageous that, on December 17, 1923, Mr. Bailey "changed his mind," and practically "took It all back." In the Legislature of 1919, there were fifty-five farmers. These men felt that farmers should have genuine relief from the burden of taxes, and that land and personal property should be exempt from taxation tor all State purposes. The question arose as to how this vast sum of money could be raised so. aa to relieve land and per sonal property. It appeared that there were many rich men in the State who were earning large Incomes. It also appeared that there were hundreds of rich and powerful corporations earn lng tremendous sums of money each year. The Legislature thought that more of the burden of taxation should be placed upon these who were able to pay and not upon the farmer and small home owner. It was therefore proposed that a constitutional amend ment be submitted to the people per mitting the levying of a tax upon the incomes of these corporations and rich capitalists. Who appeared as me only cham pion of the capitalists and corpora tions? Mr. Josiah W. Bailey, now can didate for Governor. Do not take my word for It. Read the News and Ob server of February 11th, 1919, read the Greensboro Daily News of the same date. Read the record in the Charlotte Observer. Read the record in the Raleigh Times of February 11th, 1919.where the exact words of Mr. Bailey are recorded. Listen to Mr. Bailey's own words on that occasion, as follows: "If you want some revenue right badly, assess the lands of North Carolina, thirty-three mil lion acres of them, at their market value, as is your constitutional duty," he (Bailey) thundered, turning to Maxwell, "and you will get some re venue, all that you need. Why don't you do it? Is it easier to make the corporations shell out once more? Why, in North Carolina, hogs are valu ed at less than I pay for ham, he shoute<? " goats, sheep, jacks, etc., are very low down." Victor 8. Bryant, of Durham, was a member of that 'Legislature. He has gone to his reward, but in him the farmer and the small home owner had a mighty friend and special privilege a mighty foe. He was in favor of the Income tax amendment and took part in the debate witTi Mr. Bailey. Bailey turned upon him with the remarkable declaration that "dogs In Durham are taxed higher than mules." Now, listen to Bryant's withering reply to Bailey, as fol!o\ s: "Anything short of this income tax will bring anarchy. Your plan for running down the man with the cow and lettng the man with the income go is not fair." Read the re cord for yourself in the News and Ob server of February 11th. 1919. So you have the famous "Hog and Ham" and "Dog and Mule" speech for Mr. Bailey. Was he the friend of the farmer and small home owner when he was so strongly advocating that nearly four million dollars of addi tional revenue ought to be laid upon land, hogs, goats, jacks, sheep and mules? If so, then I shall be compell ed to say: From such destructive friendship. "Good Lord, deliver us." Then, Mr. Bailey was the bold cham plon of the capitalist. Then, his chief fear was that the corporations would be compelled to "shell out once more." Then, he was In favor of making the farmer and small home ov.-ner "shell out." Yes, "shjell out" four million dollars from land and goats and hogs and mules. Nor is this all. He fought the in come tax amets'ment to the laai ditch. He wrote letters to many corporations soliciting funds with which* 1 9? beat the income tax, the concluding sen tence of which In substance was as follows: "If you want to beat the In come tax, send me your check and send it quick." and urging them to take an active part In defeating this measure, which was designed fcr the sole purpose of relieving the farmers and small home owners from the weight of four million dollars of taxes. Mr. Bailey appeared before the committee of the Legislature of 1919, pleading for the corporations, includ ing the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, and demanding that no Income tax be levied against them. He did not stop at that. After the Democratic Convention of 1920 declared for the Income Tax amendment, Mr. Bailey continued to oppose it and made speeches against It In the campaign of 1920, and at the election In that ?year ylfad against it. Bpf the scene has shifted. Now, Mr. turtle? 1s a candidate for Governor. He Admits that he opposed the Income Tax to the utmost, but, by way of apology, he says he has "changed Ills mind again." Perhaps so. But, who can prophecy as to how many more tax views Mr. Bailey will have by the time be Is Induced Into the off'ce of Oovernor, If he should be nominated In the primary? It Is significant that this "change of mind" took place Just about the time he announced his can didacy for Oovernor. It Is also sig nificant that It came after bis leader ship In opposition to the Income Tax bad been repudiated by the people of North Carolina by the most tremen dous majority ever gtvea lu the State. ? WMl Iras Mr. McLean's position on the Income Tax? Answer: He favored the adoption of the Income Tax amend Iment from the very beginning, made I numerous speeches In favor of it In tfc* campaign of 1920, voted tor It Vad worked for it _&t the polls on election day, and he has never changed his mtnd to this good hour. a K GRANTHAM.'
