The city fathers should provide some way to give mora accommodations to the public on Nash street. For instance the north side of Nash street should fce kept clear of parked automobiles in front of the post office so that p?ople having business at the office could stop their cars sufficiently close for convenience. It occurs to us that the Commissioners could well make this a one side street for parking be tween Church and Spring streets. This suggestion Is offered the Board with the hope that some solution will be made. Traffic on the streets of Louisburg could be made a great deal safer if a little more care would be taken In turning corners by drivers of automo biles. Vthen sme automobile is going down street and another is approach ing from tfie opposite direction and one wants to turn off to another street. It is a foolish idea to try to beat the other fellow and turn in before he arrives. It would be agreat deal safer for all if you would allow the other car to pass and then turn in behind him. Cutting corners is usually the re-^ suit of hurrying to "get in" before the other fellow. TAX EXEMPT SECTEITIES. The following extract taken from an article In The Kiwants Magazine by A. Siihring, of Peoria, 111., off this most important question, will give to our readers some facts and show how others are thinking: As evidence of the successful escape we find that in 1916 two hundred eight tax payers reported incomes of a mil lion dollars or more annually. In 1918, two years later, and covering a period when it seemed that million aires were made aver night, one hun dred sixty-two tax payers reported in comes of a million dollars or more, and in 1921, according to the report recently published, there were only twenty-one tax payers in the United States in the million dollar or more class. Careful consideration of these figures alone should be a warning suf ficient to arouse every tax payer. In 1916 there were enough tax payers re porting incomes of three hundred thousand dollars or more annusllly to aggregate practically one billion dol lars of taxable income from this class alone; In 1917 the taxable income from this same class dropped to around seven hundred million dollars; and in 1918 the amount reported was ; around four hundred million. Accord ing. to these figures, which are official, practically six hundred million dollars of taxable income from the three hun-' dred thousand dollars per annum class quietly disappeared. Please remem ber again that this was during the three years when millionaires were made over night. Remember also that this six hundred million dollars of in come which dlsappeare came from a class subject to more than fifty per cent under the Federal Income Tax Law. and the disappearance meant that the Government failed to collect from this class three hundred million . dollars annually as compared with thej 1916 figures. I did not say that the Government lost three hundred mil lion dollars. It did not. This disap pearance of taxable income made no difference In the expense of maintain ing the Federal Government and the reduction of our national debt, aid " the Government failed to collect from any class of tax payers three hundred million dollars It simply meant that it must collect from those unfortunate tax payer* who were nnable to evade legally the payment of a Just share ofj 'their Income through the purchase of> tax free securities. That means wage I earners, farmers, real estate owners, j owners of business houses, factories, I etc., also owners ol real estate mort-j Sages, railroad bonds, public utility] bond*, industrial bonds, etc. In this connection I might say that the report for 1921 Indicates that there was re ported at that time from the three hundred thousand per annum class around one hundred fifty million dol lar* ot taxable Income. At the rate of redaction It seems very probable that ?when we hear the resulU of the 1921 reporta*-tfce three hundred thousand. per an nunv class will have entirely ? ? ? * 1 statement that the J having unusually large iMtpM kM sueoeedsd legally In avoMing the high assessments made tor Hi fcwwti ^ItnnilT. we expect to if 01 tb" 'ut* xnent The Chicago /ournal of Com merce some tine ago made the follow ing statement: '"The schedule of as * the. will years, indicates S* One of the m most outstanding proofs Is the case of the Hill Csta^e in Minnesota. The widow of James J. Hill, the railroad magnate, apparently had a fortune of twelve million doiars or more from which she had a gross Income of around eight hundred thousand dol lars annually. This Income was sub ject. of course, to very nearly the maximum rate oX seventy-three per cent and as a result her net Income was less than four hundred thousand dollars annually. In litigation con cerning the estate, some time prior to the death of Mrs. Hill, the son. Louis Hill, who had much to do regarding the handling of the estate, made the statement that through the purchase of tax free securities and the Bale of the taxable securities he Increased his mother's net income to something like seven hundred thousand dollars. In other words, her gross Income from taxable securities was around eight hundred thousand dollars out of which she had to pay half or more to the Federal Government, while in the case of the tax free securities Into which the assets of the estate had been converted, the Income of around se*?n hundred thousand dollars was exempt from any payment to the Federal Gov ernment In the way of income tax.

R, J, OPENING OK THE COLORED GRADED SCHOOL The colored Graded School will open Tuesday September 2nd, with six teach era. The Hon. Board and Supt. W. R. Mills are very much Interested In the school. Iwaut my| people to show their appreciation by sendinfg their children to school the first day. Wo want this to be the bast year in the history of the school. My first idea of good teaching Is to put into the minds of the boys and girls politeness, industry and common sense, book knowledge without these qualities are useless. Second I am going to always teach the boys and girls in my race that the South Is the best home for them, if they will only remain In their places, and carry out the three qualities I have just men tioned, I also encourage the boys and girls who are working for our white friends to continue their work right on and I will make special arrange ments for them. Since being principal of the colored Graded Bchool it has grown in number and popularity with my people. It Is always an encourage ment to hare our white friends visit the school. Remember the law of North Carolina says you cannot keep your children out of school without permission. L?t us all work together to make the school a greater success. I want all of my friends to help, pass the date around. Tuesday, September 2nd. GEORGE C. POULARD, , Principal.
