SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: • Year »-■» Months *®* Vbree Months *®® Editorial VOTERS MUST CONTROL TAXATION — o — 1927 tht' major departments, commissions and bureaus of the Fed eral government cost the taxpayer $1,964,000,000. In the 1932 fiscal year they cost 83.195,100,000—an increase of 63 per cent. The cost of one department in creased 220 per cent in that time— another jumped 117 per cent—two others went up 113, cent and 100 per cent respectively. .. . , The most, amazing..phase of this is that we were in a far better position to pay in, 1927 thn in.. 1932. Those were boom dys, when extravagance was taken almost as a matter of course. In the last three years busi nesses and individuals have been forced to cut costs and adjust outgo to reduced income.. Only the govern mental departments and commissions and bureaus and whatnots have de manded that an unending stream of dollars he ready for them to spend. The meaning of all this should be clear enough by now. We face the specter of tax bankruptcy. We are experiencing a tax policy that is forc ing money into tax-free bonds, throt tling business and creating unemploy ment and distress’. Government extra vagance and waste strike deep into every pooketbook. . There is but one solution —drastic cuts in the cost of government. There is but one instrument for achieving that—the demand of the people, who pay the taxes and cast the votes. Theirs is the final word. Until that word is spoken emphatically at the polls, the economic future of Ameri* ca must remain closed by doubt. Pleasant Hill News We have had dry weather for quite a while in this section.

' .\r Today recalls sad . memories of [A love one gone to rest, And those who miss him most Tnday ’are those who love him best, i So sad, so sudden, was the call, His death was such a shock to all; But with his trials, God knew best And took our daddy home to rest. Fdur long weeks have, passed, Dear Daddy since you went away, What would we give to see your face And so would many others, to clasp Your hand and hear your dear voice. Called in the bloom of manhood, Just in the prime of life, . Away from the world of sorrow, To the land where all is bright. This world may change from year to year, My life from day to day, But the love and memory of you, dear Daddy, Shall never fade away. His Wife and Children- j Holloway’s Hits By James Holloway. Dear Mr. Editor: It was a great pleasure to stand on the streets of Raleigh Saturday night j and watch the happy smiles on the j faces of the people as they passed j along. A most remarkable change has taken place in the expression on faces of people the past thirty days. Heretofore a strained anxious look was noticeable in the countenance of every one von met. Unhappiness I seemc ’ ‘ * he universal, now all that has pa -od and people are looking | forward with hope and faith to hap nier days ahead. This has been i brought about by the improvement in ' the business outlook. Mourning over the depression is about over and if we realize our hopes even partially it j will be good for the nation, i It does seem after what we have gone through with the past three years the people would not forget the cause of their trouble and strive to avoid a repetition of similar condi tions in future. The farmer has been caught between the upper mill stone of big business exploitation and ithe lower millstone of an almost j vanishing buying power because of : the great amount of unemployment in j the nation. Having lost entirely all I semblance of control of the selling end j of his products he is now competely ( at the mercy of the price fixing gangs i who have exploited and preyed upon j him since the memory of man run | neth not to the contrary. Overpro -1 duction is not the cause of the farm ers plight but under consumption has 'brought all his troubles upon him, ! coupled with his dependence on men and organizations who have never had his interest at heart. Until he succeeds in divorcing himself from the yoke of bondage they have so securely fastened upon his shoulders he will continue to be a slave and vassal of the souless corporations. Who built all the Tobacco factories of this nation, the Cotton Factories, the Peanut factories, the oil mills, the Tobacco warehouse, the bonded ware houses, the Tobacco Stemeries, the prize houses covering hundreds of acres of land and other big enterpris es too numerous to mention? The farmers of this coutry built all these enterprises by the sweat of his brow but he has never enjoyed the fruits of his labors and never will so long as he continues to close his eyes to the facts and refuses to heed advice and warning of his friends. In the city Wmrt/vn.SaUm alone he has creat- of his profits created the Duke P6wer Company and established the Duke Foundation. This great foundation bought both body and soul one of the largest Protestant denominations in this nation and since the purchase wa* consummated not one wor has been uttered by any dignitary of this great church against the use of the cigarette by immature boys and girls of this country. Before this deal was made the preachers of this denomina tion denounced cigarette as one of the cardinal sins. Had the tobacco farm ers of this state received as much as one-half of the value of his crop, they would today be the richest farm i ers on the face of this earth, instead of being well off and financially inde pendent the Tobacco farmers are steadily growing poorer while the i crop of Millionaires continue to in crease by leaps and bounds. The To bacco Companies were caught red | handed stealing last years crop of to ! bacco and the indignation which fol- I lowed alarmed them to such an ex tent they are how paying the farm i ers a few cents njore for the present | crop. Just how long they will do this j remains to be seen. If , President , Hoover is reelectetd in November, you I may mark this prediction, Mr. Editor, | prices Will drop almost immediately arid they will circulate another false | report about the inferior quaity of the ciop. They worked this lying alibi ' successfully but men who know tobacco are now saying that the last’years crop was the best quality tobacco which has been produced in the past five years. The troubles of Treasurer Mangum i continue to'multiply and it begins to look as though his bondsmen will be caled upon to pay at least a part of the County money which Mr. Mangum lost in bank failures. The treasurer’s office is an entirely needless expense and shoqld be abolished along with that of Auditor. Neither office is worth a plugged nickle to the tax pap ers of Wake County and the few du ties they are supposed to perform could easily be handled by the Sheriffs, Register of Deeds and Clerk of Court office if they would get rid of the in efficiency in those offices and employ capable men and women to perform the duties in a capable manner. If the people of Wake county really knew of the amount of inefficiency which exist in their county offices they would rise in their indignation and make a clean sweep of the whole outfit. j There seems to be a remote possi- [ bility that the people of Raleigh may get a ride about town for a nickel if the City Commissioners can be pre vailed upon to divorce themselves | from the control of the Carolina Power and Light Company and grant a franchise to a new Jitney line. It may necessitate a change of the city administration before this can be brought about as from all reports each of the present city commisioners sneeze e%’ery time Paul Tillery of the I (arolina Pow er and light company I takes snuff. They know' their masters voice as well as the North Carolina Corporation Commission does any re lief from the present excessive street car fares and public service rates will have to await a more opportune time. The present crowd would not dare antagonize this great corporation by ! attempting to give the people of Ral ! eigh any relief.

Joyner, a former resident of the community deeded the building l°t ■to three trustees of the club an . their successors.

The building was put • up at the low cost of $486.15 of which , only $1:58.42 was donated in cash and • this was given in amounts ranging -I from five cents to ten dollars. No one ■ 1 gave more than ten dollars and only three people gave that much cash. $22.28 of this amount was lost in a bank failure. The balance of the . money was raised by members of the . club serving meals at fairs and tobae • go market openings, selling rummage, : making a quilt, selling ice cream and t cold drinks at ball games, and selling i canned goods.. The most profitable endeavor was a play from which, was • ( realized $108.45. - • - Our dream is realized.
