One may hold dissenting opinions on many of his recommenda tions, but his candid approach to the. problems con fronting the state should command the respect of every thinking citizen. : Those who wax emotional whenever the word "education" is mentioned will find severe criticism - for thejiew can be made in the cost of education without "crippl ing the schools." There will be some who will con tend that current unstable conditions afford no fair basis for revaluation of property; but on the whole this recommendation, if carried out, will bring hearty approval, espeiially . from the over-burdened land hold er. The executive's opposition to a sales tax and any diversion of highway funds sets the spark to con troversies as potent as dynamiter His recommenda tion that the state government be given more super visory authority over the management of county and municipal affairs revives the old and much debated question of centralization of power. The message is packed with subjects for contro versy ; almost anyone will find in it some cause for difference of opinion. But, as The Asheville Citizen says : ;"'t -r--rrr- .

Clippings THE SALES TAX ARGUMENT At its last session Congress had a big fight over the proposition to- enact- a - general - sales - lax; I t was defeated. 7 l :. At the- last session -of -the-North Carolina General Assembly the legislators remained in session more than five months fighting over a luxury tax or a general sales tax. Both were finally, de feated, the luxury tax by a majori ty of one in the Senate. When Congress met in Decem ber the Treasury Department re commended the enactment of a general sales tax, but it seems cer tain this Congress will not give the recommendation consideration. When the Legislature meets in Raleigh- the- big thing that will meet the legislators will be how to balance the budget and what to do with the deficit. There will doubtless be bills introduced for both the luxury and general tax, as well as other "ncwaxes7'Therc will be divisions and plenty of discussion. Therefore it may serve to throw light upon a matter of deep 1 interest to consider the ar guments for and against a general sales tax. In an article on "A Pragmatic - Experiment With - Tax es," in the Survey Graphic, Harold S. Buttenhdmgivethe following argument for . the general sales tax : "No man can live in a'modern civilized society without buying jsnme of the products of other men-s wotk. . "Ani advalorem tax, therefore, applied at a uniform rate to all sales, would provide a sure source of revenue and compel every in dividual to bear his share of the costs , of government "If such a sales tax were made high enough to cover all govern ment costs national State and lo Cnmlinn i ASSOCIATiON $1.50 ; . ....... $1.00 75 . . . . : .05 with the postal regulations. courage, ot "."moral anTln- cal it would have three very ben eficial results. l( 1. As the tax would be paid and reported 7by3hescllcrthecol lection of the tax would provide maximum - certainty- and "minimum expense for the government, 2. A sales tax won 1 d ..rnakepos-. sible the repeal of all income and inheritance taxes, thus removing intolerable burdens from real es tate and from capital earned or in herited. 3. Because every purchase would be taxed it would encourage the practice of thrift, thus insuring individual reserves for periods of sickness, unemployment and old age, and discouraging present day trends toward socialistic taxes for welfare funds. ' All taxes being in the last an alysis consumption taxes, the sim plest and least burdensome tax yhich would be levied by any unit of government is the consumer's 6r sales tax. Now what are the arguments against the imposition of a' general .sales tax. John Dewey and Ben jamin C. Marsh, in the People's Lobby Bulletin thus summarize their reasons against the sales tax: .. , 1. It has failed to provide the estimated revenue and is highly unpopularwhcrever.it -has-been tried. 2. Experience with the several taxes on sales levied by the Reb enue Act of 1932 shows such taxes are a very unstable source of revenue. 3. Extension of the sales tax, if it raises any substantial revenue, will do so at the expense of the standard of living of a very large proportion probably over half, of I those who pay for it.

N. C DUNCAN There is an article in the Janu ary Harpers which deserves wide reading. It is "Is There a Case for Foreign Missions ?" by Pearl 5. Buck. If should serve to give us a humility which we have not al ways possessed, unhappily, when we thought of other countries and peoples. There are some facts presented which we should face As the author points out we have frequently been misrepresented, rather than represented, by many of those who have gone out as missionaries. We can easily ap preciate the spirit which drew them to go, but at the same time we regret the lack of intelligent approach, ' ' The conclusion "one draws " from the article is that the great need of the present moment is a number of Christian people who will live the Christ-like life before . the world, and let that life be its own witness. We . are gradually becoming aware that our. argu ments for Christianity are futile in the face of our living witness. Words are poor substitutes for about. timethat we quit going exemplary conduct. It is just about time that we quit "going around urging people to join the Church, come to Christ and be saved, un til we can manifest more of the attractive power of a' great love in a -life lived. We can not help feeling that the Church has lost much by insisting - upon making people good, when its supreme mission is to SHOW THE GOOD LIFE. It is not the Church's mis sion to impose morals, but to bring life-intcrihe-world, I do not know that I can sub scribe to all that Miss Buck says, but I-JiavejL5incere--conviction that she holds up tt -mirror in which we tan see xrarselves, and it will do - us-good -to 'see-ourselvesas others see us."

A sales tax is a tax upon con sumption and increase unemploy ment. " 6. A sales tax wHl be paid chief ly by those with incomes under $1200 which are very largely earned incomes while most large incomes are derived from owner ship or control of property, 7. The major part of State and local budgets is paid by the peo ple with incomes of less than $1500, so a federal sales tax' is double taxation of inability to pay. 8.

There you are.-The prohibition - agents don ned evening clothes, about twenty-five of them, and visited , the place as "guests." Sometimes they spent fifteen dollars or thirty dol lars. They say they bought liq uors, to obtain evidence. That is how your prohibition works, my masters. You hire a man to dis guise himself to violate your- law in order that he may catch a violator. You drys must - employ practicing wets ar decoy ducks and furnish them money with which to buy and drink whiskey. Some times you employ women for this sort of dirty work.

QOME kind of meat aids the Jfarm housekeeper in preparing more palatable meals and this makes the home curing of pork, lamb and beef an important item in farm life during winter. Earl H. Hostetler, animal hus bandman at State College, says there are three factors to be con sidered in providing edible and ap petizing meat products on the home farm at a minimum cost. First, the meat must be thorough ly chilled but not frozen before curing; second, sufficient salt, with or without other ingredients, must be applied directly to all the ex posed surface of the fresh meat, and third, when cured the meat must be protected from flies, rats and other pests. While pork is the kind of meat almost 1 universally ; cured on all North Carolina farms, it is possible to cure the meaty portions of lamb and beef. Both of these may be cured at home with little trouble if left in cure for the proper length of time. . Mr. Hostetler has used two for mulas for curing meat in his work at the college and he ,says both of these will give good results. To cure by the brme method, he suggests" 12 pounds of . salt, 5 pounds of brown sugar, 2 ounce of saltpetre and sid gallons of water to each hundred pounds of the meat. To cure by the dry method, use 8 -pounds of salt, 3 pounds of brown sugar and 3 ounces of salt petre to each 100 pounds of meat. These two formulas have been used in a number of meat curing demonstrations conducted - over North Carolina in the last two years by R. E. Nance and the re sults have been gratifying to those I who have used the formulas. Now that livestock is selling for a low price, it might be wise to cure more meat at home, using these formulas, Mr. Hostetler be lieves. ' Franklin Circuit Notices REV. G. N.

Not only ' farmers but clerks, wid ows, tenants, nd out-ofrjobs city dwellers will turn to poultry pro duction as a source of livelihood. "All this may or may not be a favorable sign of progress for the industry," says Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poultry department at State College. "A large percent of those people entering the poultry game make failures of the business due chiefly to a lack of knowledge of fundamentals. Then, too, new development is sometimes out of proportion lor me , jocai mantels to consume or the existing facili ties to move at fair prices. If a person has a dislike for birds, he should by all means stay out of poultry production." Mr, Dearstyne points out ? that poultry growing requires' long hours of work and study ; careful attention to detail and the ability to accept and overcome disappoint ment, k , 1 , . However, for the personr de termined to try poultry production this year, the specialist suggests seven requirements. First, see the county agent and go over the pro position carefully; second, select a definite objective without going in to the business on .too large a scale ; third, get good baby chicks and be ready for them when they arnvtrr ioiinn ' serurp a inrai mar ket for the product in advance ; fifth, -i study the control of para- sites ana diseases; sixtn, teea care fully rbut amply ; and seven, sub cribe to one or two good poultry magazines.
