MISLEADING TALK ON TAXES
(Editorial From Chapel W«Uyl
Josiah W. Bailey is talking a lot of
none.sense about taxation. Being ar. in
telligent man, he knows that the state
ar.u the counties and the towns have
pot to keep on spending money for
education and roads and other pood
purposes; yet he seems to want to
convey the impression that his elec
tion would cut down taxes. There is
small cnance that it would have any
such consequence.
"The average tax rate in North
Carolina in 11»12 on tie
huntiren; today it is about $1.5(1, Mr
Bailey .s quoted as saying in a speech
the otl.er day Well, what of it" Thi>
fart in itself is without any .-peria!
significance. The important question
is. are the things fieople are paying
for worth paying for" Everybody
knows that the citiiens of North Caro
line are now enjoying far more of
the blessings of civilisation, and ir.
general are on a higher level of edu
cation and health and prosperity, thar.
they were 15 or 25 years ago Aw thi
is so largely becau.->e of this very in
creaM" in tlie tax rate about whwh Mr-
Bailey professes to i# nUrnw«t Tin
increase has come about through the
action of the people themselves ir. vot
ing to spend money to make tiieir
commun ties better communities aiw -
Nortli I'arolina a better state! :
keep talking about the tax rate in
crease as if it had been an evil thing
is misleading, and we do not believe
that Mr Bailey will get anywhere by
this kind of campaigning.
Il may be true that in his .-peer'se
the complete text of policy, whir!
we have not seen, he ex pre>.-e> apprvv
*
al of the state's progressive policy,
which means, inevitably, a moisey
spending policy Hut he appear- to U
putting his main emphasis U|w*f the
tax rate He most be fully conscious
of the fact. that, should he becenw
governor, lie could not affect any re
duction in the average tax rate ir
North Carolina. That is. he could nol
do it unless he ileliberately set oui
to influence local act»o» throughout
North Carolina by employing hi;
cleverness and eloquence and high p>»
sit ion to preach an anti-school, anti
roads, anti-health, and generally ai
anti-progress doctrine And of cours.
Mr Bailey would not -to that. Hi
does not want to see his state tun
backward. He should not becloud th
issue by leading people to suppose tha
he, if elected, would somehow be abl
to cut their local tax bills.
The money lords are bidding for th
railroad vote in the West. Some fort';
of the leading railroads have recently
raised the wages of its workers af
feeling about 500.000 people in tlx
Western half of the I'nited States
