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.

MEMORIU.M
In loving remembrance of our dear
! daddy and husband;'J. G. Mullen,, who
'died four weeks ago today .August 6,
j 1932. ' .\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.

three people gave that much cash.
$22.28 of this amount was lost in a
