REDUCE TAXES
A bill raising the gasoline
tax to five cents a gallon and
setting aside an equalizati on
fund of $3,000,000 to aid the
counties in road work passed
the house last week and
judging from the record
vote in the lower house it
will easily be passed by the
Senate, if it has not already
passed by the time this paper
reaches you.
Warren county, according
to figures carried in last
Saturday's News and Observer
will receive under this
plan more than $25,744 to
in i4-n vao/1 wavTt Thi'o
oiu ill iI/O i uau vvv/iiv. x mo
should allow the commissioners
to reduce taxes to an
appreciable extent.
How this plan will be
worked out here has not
been determined as Warren
county is laboring under the
disadvantage of a township
road system instead of the
county unit plan. This calls
forth the thought that Warren
is too often more interested
in politics than in
economy.
Under Warren county's
road system today, a citizen
living in Fork township
for instance pays 77 cenfs on
the hundred dollars for road
purpose; a citizen living in
Warrenton township pays
only 29 cents on the hundred.
This varies in all the
Warren ton, North (
?????????????????. 7
township, but Warrenton is
lowest in every instance.
You would think that the
poorer townships would be
glad to have a unit plan in
order than the wealther |
townships could bear part of
their expense. Well, you
would think so. Yet every effort
for such a step has been
defeated.
Probably five cents on the
hundred dollars, as a low
guess, is wasted because the
units are too small. The trend
of business is toward consolidation
and mass production.
Warren is clinging to j
an outworn system. How ]
? ? - ' . - J (
long will Ephraim De joined j
to his idols?
And while our citizens are
thinking it over we suggests
that they motor over to Hali-h
fax county where the unit I'
plan is worked under a com-J
petent engineer. One good r
look is more convincing than]!
many words. And remember |i
Halifax county citizens pay '
less than Warren citizens
for their roads and the
arteries of travel are in-1
comparably better in the L
former county. ?

HOW TO HANDLE WHISKEY |r
To The Editor of The Warren 18
Record, Sir:? 18
I read a great deal in the papers, I *
but do not know which are facts. I
am going to lay before the peoplel
of America my idea of solving the!
biggest problem now before our I
country, that is the whiskey question.
I see some gentleman wanted
an appropriation of $250,000,000 to I
enfore the law, well you may ap- 11
propriation two hundred and fifty a
billion and put half of the men in d
America to enforce the law and 0
there will be whisky drank allM
through our nation. The only right c
way to control this proposition is v
for more of us to go on our knees,
get religion then go to the block- *
adsr son bended knees and you will
win a big per cent of them for J
Christ and a better life. I will not I
call them thieves or robbers, for 11
am sine of the fact that there is J
muuii mure icai xiuitiui wuoiucoo
carried on throughout our country
by the big moneyed Wall streeters t
than all the blockaders can-possibly g
do. Read the records.
My plan, put in each county seat a
place of sale of whiskey, let the
government manufacture good
whiskey, putting it up in half pint
bottles, put an honest man in each
county to sell, give each person who j:
wishes to buy a card with each day ^
of the month printed thereon except t
Sunday. When this card is presented f,
the salesman shall punch that day
on said card, this is all that can be
bought that day and the above {
quantity will not intoxicate any man c
much. If said salesman is found r
violating the law put him in prison j
for not less than one year this will c
automoatically cut out 75 or 80 per ?
cent of the blockaders. Now then: r
any man caught blockading and
handling whisky in any way and f
convicted shall serve a term of not
less than a year in prison, then: '
make each officer from little to big
\
keep to eye open for the transporter ^
or whisky's dealer, should any officer
be found neglecting his duty with cm
reference to the above and convict- ~
ed of so doing, put him in prison
for not less than a year, this merely
an outline of how this proposition
can be successfully handled, and I
feel sure that our national law
makers will approve such a plan
and pass a law approving same. I
for one, am an old man, am sick
and tired of deaths of so many who
are handling whisky, being shot to
death by officers. We all know that
the soul of a whisky dealer is not
prepared to stand before a just God
and Bishop Cannon can't truthfully
say it is. Now if the good people,
church people, hire men and arm
them with guns and send them out
to capture or kill the man who is
found making or handling whisky,
just claim self-defense thats all that
is required.
Who will be held responsible at
the judgment bar of almighty God
for this man's death. My Lord, my
Lord, show our America whither we
a treading. $ have been a member of
the M. E. church 54 long years. Just
go back to our fathers and mothers way
of living, get in the straight and
narrow path that leadeth to life's
utmost. I have laid the above plan
before many good church men, also
before some big officials, every one
so far has approved the plan, and
say they honestly believe it will
?olve the problem, it is not old stuff
for new money as Mr. Doran says of
the Durant plan from which Mr.
got $25,000.
I am not laying my plan on sand,
nor on stubble, but on a solid rock
and with a clear conscience that I
am on the right side, say something.
Truly yours,
J. L. BURCHETT,
Henderson, N. 0., Feb. 4, 1929. |

Too Much Expansion
In Peach Industry
RALEIGH, Feb. 12.?The peach
ndustry of North Carolina has
ieen expanded to the point where
he growers may expect low returns
or some years.
'Tn a very careful study of the
ieach industry in this State, we
ind that typical commercial orhards
in the Sandhill section are
lot profitable," says Dr. G. W.
'orster, agricultural economist at
State college. "The return on the
apital invested is less than the
lormal rate of interest. In one or1

ed that the growers lost heavily ir
1928."
Dr. Forster outlined these facts
at a two-day school for peach
growers neld by the Department o:
Horticulture at West End on February
7 and 8. He said that foui
things will have to be done tc
remedy the situation. These are:
first, immediate curtailment oi
plantings and the removal of old
and unprofitable trees; second, the
inclusion in the farm business oi
more supplementary crops, which
could easily be grown along with
peaches at little extra expense;
third, the adjustment of varieties
to mfcrket demands and, fourth
an improvement in the quality oi
peaches marketed.
Peach growers of this state might
find new markets but when shipments
are made in a westerly di
rection, competition is met from
growers of Texas, Arkansas and
California. High freight rates would
also militate against developing
these new markets. The peach
growers are also facing competition
from producers of other fruits and
melons. For these reasons, Dr.
Forster urged an immediate readjustment
of the peach industry
along the four lines advocated.
Chinese Place High
Tariff On Tobacco
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.?The
game of tariff-making is one at
which two can play as a Department
of Commerce report just out
announces that in the new tariff
schedule of China, cigarettes and
cigars bear a tax of 40 per cent ad
valorem, the highest tax rate of any
commodity. It is made up of an import
duty of 7 1-2 per cent and an
excise tax of 32 1-2 per cent. Sec!
ond to cigarettes and cigars is
kerosene, taxed at 31 per cent and
generally recognized as a necessity
in China.
The bulk of both cigarettes and
kerosene comes from the United
States, and because of the heavy
duty on these two items, the Department
of Commerce report
states the new tariff imposes a
relatively heavier burden on American
trade than on that of any other
country.
The new tariff is condemned as
unscientific from an economic
viewpoint, little attention being
given to promoting domestic industry,
the idea apparently being
to raise revenue for the new
/-Ii- v.*-. f olfhnilorVl tVlP

Department of Commerce does not
draw any conclusion.
Leaf tobacco bears a tariff of 10
per cent instead of 22 1-2 per cent
as formerly.
