CONTRIBUTE TO MEMORIAL LIBRARY Canvassers will on nex Wednesday appeal for fund for the support of the War ren County Memorial Li brary. Through its years o service this institution ha proven its worth to the citi zens of the county. At thi time when so many calls art being made upon our citi zens for money and when i is a scarce article in manj homes, contributions often mean a real sacrifice. We realize this. And yet the Warren library means so much to the intellectual development of the county, to the instruction and entertainment of our people, that we hope that no citizen will refuse to give according to his ability to give. A contribution to the Warren Memorial Library is a service to the county. HEARD MR. BAILEY WITH PLEASURE Citizens of Warren heard Hon. J. W. Bailey, Democratic nominee for United States Senate, with pleasure here yesterday. Mr. Bailey's address was forceful and to the point, and won additional friends for him. The nominee is a native of Warren county. With his election to the Senate on Tuesday he will become the sixth Warren county citizen to be so honored, out of a total of 33 for the entire State since the foundation of the American govern A TX X menu ju lur iiu umex icaouu than that he is a native son and the Democratic nominee, we feel that voters of Warren should make a special effort to go to the polls and give him a good vote on Tuesday. There are additional reasons. We believe Mr. Bailey will make a strong senator, and we feel that as large a vote as possible should be rolled up for the Democratic party over the nation as a protest against the Republican administration. Let the voters of Warren do their part. VOTE FOR COUNTY UNIT OF ROADS The business fundamentals are probably the same in all lines of production. All successful business men seek to cut cost of production, to cut out unnecessary waste and to build as good an article as is possible for the money. Volume of business has much to do with lowering cost. It is obvious to all that a farmer can grow a bale of cotton cheaper in a field that produces a bale to the acre compared with one that produces a half bale. The same amount of plowing, planting, and chopping is Warren ton, North Carolina JUST KIDS? y/i ! yqur <kuwe a much account n /A fu a we my ome V/K K\TTEN - A DRftSS POC \/{ A PO& COUAR AH 'A r RAT VJITH A STRlN //y<\ SWWGc HER HV-A j YOUR NO ACCOUNT ^ <5 SHE A GO MUSI B 8 ^ BB 00 j M.u\i used in both cases. It is equally as clear that everything else being equal a farmer can grow cotton cheaper in a ten acre field than he can in ten one-acre plots. There is not the loss in turning and in going from one field to another. The gain in a 500 acre field would probably be greater because powerful machinery could be used and labor I 3 3 reuuceu. This premise has been successfully illustrated by Henry Ford and the other automobile manufacturers. Without tariff production and with a high scale of wages, through mass production American automobile plants are manufacturing from 80 to 90 per cent of the cars of the world. Now this has been proven so conclusively by the experience of successful men that it can be accepted as a rule of conduct. If it is true in this case why is it not true in road building? Everything else being equal doesn't it seem reasonable to suppose that twelve townships working as a unit could build roads cheaper than the twelve could possibly build them separately? If a tractor cost $1,000 can construct the roads that three $500 tractors can build, it is plain that $500 can be saved. It is equally as clear that there will be a saving of two men's hire. Granting that there are available 24 convicts in the county for road work, it is certainly not feasible to divide them among the twelve townships, to employ guards for every two men, to buy movable pens to hold them at night. It is possible, however, to work them as a group, to hire two guards, and to buy one pen for them to sleep in at night. It would probably be done if the roads were worked as a unit. Under the present system they can stay in jail without working, the county loses a source of revenue and the citizens wonder why their taxes are so high.

Naturally this would cut down the cost of maintenance. It would also make it easier for the State to take over additional milps nf our rnaHs airline in tax relief. Roads are made to travel over. Regardless of how cheap they may be built, if they are impassable, then money has been thrown away. We are very much interested in the adoption of the county system because we believe it is for the best interest of the county, but we are willing to make a proposition to any citizen who is satisfied with things as they are. We ask that any citizen in Fishing Creek township ride from Areola in Warren county to a point beyond Hollister in Halifax county, and if the roads are not better in Halifax, vote against road consolidation . ITT TTT _ _1. in warren, we asx any citizen in Sandy Creek to ride from Elberon or Axtelle in Warren county to Aycock school in Vance, and if the roads are not better in Vance than they are in Warren, then vote against the consolidation of Warren roads. If a citizen can tell when he gets into another county by the improvement in the roads, it should be obvious that the township system is a failure, and we ask him to vote for the county unit on next Tuesday, November 4.

High taxes merely serve to drive money away a from a community. The Federal government has issued millions of tax-free bonds; North Carolina can not help that. Neither can we help | what another state does in | regard to taxing or exempting money from taxation. We don't know of any law that North Carolina can pass to prevent its citizens from buying Government bonds. As a matter of fact, they were told that it was quite the thing to do doing the world war. We can't see how a wealthy citizen is going to be prevented from keeping his money in a New York bank if he prefers to do so. No one would be more ready to admit that this is not just than we are. We do not claim, nor have we claimed, that this is not wrong. We feel that each citizen should contribute toward the support of his government according to his ability to pay. That is only fair and just. Unfortunately, there are a many things in this world that do not seem fair to us. B But we can not change them. We have to make out the best we can with what we have. If everybody paid their fair share of taxes they would not be so burdensome. If everybody listed all their money, for instance, the tax rate would be lower. But we know and you know that everybody is not going to list their monev. So what's the use of talking about that.
