NORTH CAROLINA IS NOW THE FIFTH
LARGEST TAXPAYER IN THE UNION
Citizens of North Caivlin'u paid
00 less in in ome taxes, but S'J'J,
oou.ooo more in miscellaneous taxes
in lit'J.V than they linl in P.»:>l.

The tremendous increase in tile
-tate's miscellaneous taxes is due'
largely to the tobacco industry.
Duo to thi' heavy miscellaneous '
tax payments, the total government
teVentK's from North Carolina;
amounted to 0150.271!.."K5» last yea \
an increase of s;M.yr>o,noo over j
U'l'l, and making North Carolina the'
fifth largest tax-payer among the'
state, her total being vxcceded only
by those of New York, Pennsylvania, l
Michigan and Illinois.

agriculture in its larger aspect, |
there appears one particular case iij
t which the remedy is as apparent as'
it is necessary. This is the case if

onions for the pickle trade. The,
(center of the onion business is in the
Middle West.
These union growers are about t.> i
be put out of business by a recent i
decision of the board of general ap- j
praisefs. which lowered the tariff >n
pickled onions between #7.HO and J
'SII.HO a case. In effect, the apprais- 1
i'rs said that pickled onions might
come into this country as onions, at
a tax of 1 cent a pound, instead of as
I pickles, as formerly, at a :i."> per cent
ad valorem tax.
It is estimated that from 7"> to 'HI
■ per cent of the cost of raising pick!.'
j unions is paid out for the labor \x h;• ii
i grows, peels and packs them. The
1 American grower, paying American
wages for labor which works Amer
ican hours, cannot compete with the
Kuropean grower, paying Kuropean
I wages for labor which works Kuro
; peati hours, without the protection "f
a high tariff. As a matter of fa

was I"X\ enough; a ~>o per cent tax

Kvery winter numerous deaths are

| Service Companies has prepared the
following set of "danger s'trtvils:"
"When unaccountable headaches
come on, especially with two or more
persons involved, you have a reason
jto suspect carbon monoxide poison
ing if then- are any gas stoves, ga
grates, or doubtful-acting stoves or
furnacijp about.
"If matches will not burn perfect
ly in the general air of the rooms,
or if there is a sense of drowsiness
'in rather confined quarters, you have
' reason to suspect carbon monoxide.
"Suspect monoxide gas if, on aris
ing from a chair or attempting ac
;tive work, weakness of the kness
! occures and it requires special effort
: to get one's self to the job.
"Suspect the cook stove, whether
it is of gas or other type, when these
'symptoms are aggravated during
; preparation of a meal.

I should be constant objects of sus

"For seven years." Mj'. Davcy
says, "I have observed the Depart

having had official business with
nearly all of them. I am simply ap
palled at the loafing. indifference
ami inefficiency. There are thous

employes and endless duplication
alleged tffort. There is an inexcus
able waste of much more than a half
billion dollars a year.
"The tendency is to increase, ratb
than diminish, the personnel and ex
penses of government.
"The thing proposed in my Bill
ought to be done. In all prohahili'y
it is tile only way that it ever will
be done. It is doubtful if real gov
