1 THKAMEmCAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Entered at the Pout Office at Loola
ftarg, N C.. *m meomt clui matter.
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

reporta*-tfce three hundred thousand.

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.

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.
