The Deficit Etcetera Perhaps additional light on deficit controversy, the recent audit, etcetera may be gained by the following letter from Con gressman Mallet S. Ward to his home town newspaper, the Washington News: To the Editor: So much has boon said with ho lit tle clearness of statement, ko much confusion growing out of temper, re sentment, political - disappointment and newspaper controversial antau oninm./ahout the subject of the fol lowing letter, that I thought I would see if I could get hold of any facts thtf I could understand, so 1 wrote B^A Lacy to tell me what the uncol lected taxes levied in favor of the t^tate amounted to at the moment *>f time when the $5,500,000 deficit existed. Here is his answer. I fully understand It. I think everybody else will. If 1 owe John $">,000,000 and Jim owes me $4,730,91 5.54 and he is solv.ent, 1 am behind in my finances bo far $269,084.46. Figures are the only things I know of that have no political disappointments, no ambi tions, no disposition to domineer ov er everything and they never lose their temper. Respectfully, H. S. WARD. "Ralefgh, N. C.. Aug. 11, 1923. "Hon. H. S. Ward, "Member of Com:reus, "Washington, P. C. "My dear Mr. Ward: "Your favor of the 1.0th Is re ceived. You say,. * ? ? *Ju*t tell me exactly, as near as you can. what ?be total unpaid tax a e amenta in favor of the State were on the 31st of December, 1922. ? Afler months of careful work, the Audi tors, who are the best in the I'liit* d States, agree with me in saying that It is $4,730,915.54. "Yours truly, ??II, R. LACY. "State Treasurer." About once a week somebody starts a rumor late at night about something having hap pened at Nags Ilead. Last night the rumor was that a man had been drowned down there. Capt. Martin Johnson of the Trenton is on the warpath for the orig-1 inator of the next tale of -this kind,' and if it happens again and Capt. Johnson finds his j man, there's going to be some-1 thing doing. Of course, Prosecutor Saw yer didn't know Mr. Burfoofj was out of town when he re marked Tuesday morning on the striking likeness of the city courtroom furniture to the chairman of the Board of Coun ty Commissioners. However, there's much that is complimen tary in the remark, if so inter preted. Substantial, plain, ab solutely genuine, without cam ouflage, don't you know. Must be awfully pleasant to be in the tourist class, but after all, it seems to be safer to stay at home, not to mention cheaper.
