There appears to be 1 more thought, and attention being given to the subject than ever before. Every mail brings in copies of letters, or resolutions proving that people are studying the tax question. One of those just received included a statement from the Carolina Mo tor Club, pointing out that motorists of this" state have paid approximately $23,600,000 in federal automotiveNexcise taxes, 'The same statement goes on .to explain the huge cost of gasoline and other taxes also paid by motor ists. ,;v-vv;-' .'. . The whole thing gets down to this. As long as the American people felt that Uncle Sam was trying . to balance the budget, they ' went along under the load of heavy taxes. Now when it appears that the balancing is of little concern to - Washington, then the tax payers begin to squirm, end rebuke under the load. -Y,':'V ''"' : -:- -V-When the taxpayers get ta relief, it will be they who bring themselves that relief.

Indications are that this" work will start soon. ; And while you and the governor of Vir ginia were discussing corn growing, Hay wood came forth with her part, and produc ed the champion of the state with 141 bush els per acre.

We 'call your attention, Governor, . to watch the roadside development, the names under the mail boxes, the cleared hedgerows, and the atmosphere of progress in the areas as you drive into Haywood Saturday,. As a dairyman you know the importance. ;of good pastures, "so you will realize , what the program of getting 10,000 acres of Ladino clover this year in Haywood will mean. While our rural citizens were going for ward, the industrial, and tourist folk of Hay- wood were also active. --; , . Haywood has also made progress in the spiritual fields, as well as learning the value of cooperation. Under your rural road program, the town ship committeemen have spent long hours of studying the needs of each community, and . presented those findings to Highway Commissioner L. Dale Thrash, without a single dissenting voice. Our rural. and town people are cooperating on mutual projects and problems. They are working together to make this the best place on earth to live. .

DRY GRINS INDEED in the early .days of little February many a Frank Grahamite in North Caro lina was grinning like a horse eat ing briars. It seemed almost certain that the sage of Chapel HiO would have no opposition of any import ance; and that he would go sailing into the U. S. Senate on flowery heels of ease. ' Now here it is scarcely a month later, and Graham finds himself faced by rambunctious Bob Rey nolds on one side and Broughton Friend Willis Smith on the other. Now the grins are dry indeed. It does look as if there will be a bat tle royal.

The program is already well underway in We a're sincere in our belief that it still deserves this recognition. It is also our belief, that you will find here in Haywood, a progressive spirit, as well as one of cooperation, that helps make this "The Best Balanced County in The State." - We trust that your visit to Haywood Sat urday will be most pleasant, and that you will enjoy it as much as we know we will en joy having you we hope further,' that you will come back before another ten months come back often and, visit longer in "North Carolina's Best Balanced County." MIRROR-OF t&UR MIND I Consulting Psychologist ' grated people "are not conform ists; they are reconstructionists," and "don't mind getting crossed up with other people if thereby they help further the knowledge that leads to understanding and cooperation." The reality to which we adjust ourselves Is "not only the status quo, but the fact that we can change things for the bet ter. . V.3 Can you Itarn to control h quick temper? Answer: Ves, if youH stop kid ding yourself about how much you can get away with, As a rule, the person with a hasty temper tells himself "that he can blow his top whenever he feels like it because people will realize that he "doesn't mean what he says." But the fact is, everything you , say makes an impression that Will oever be entirely forgotten, Stop . and ask yourself how you will feel tomoiTow about what you say and do today, and unless you are more ,nn usually-childish, -you. will find you "keep your temper" au-.

DO BR FINE" An enter prising reporter here in Raleigh got Asheville's Bob Reynolds on the telephone shortly after Willis Smith paid his filing fee last Fri day "morning. He told Bob that Smith -and Graham would have headquarters here in the Sir Wal ter Hotel . . . right near each oth er. . "That do be fine. That do be fine," sang back Bob. "They will be there together and can solace each other, for I'm going to win this free-for-all." : PLATFORMS As a usual thin'; platforms are nothing much cx ceDt something to sneak on,, but, nevertheless, Reynolds, . Graham, and Smith will have them. Looking on their records anc brief utterances made within the past month, here in a general way is how they stand: Graham is for a world community; better distrib ution of wealth; good nay for labor; and equality among al! men. be they white, Negro, Jew or gentile; and he is the idealist of the three. Smith is a liberal conservative; Wants reduction in taxes; a balanc ed budget; crop control for crops being overproduced; and a middle- of-the-road approach on all things governmental. He seems to be more practical,, more down-to-earth than the other two candidates. Reynold, says we are paying, too much at tention to world problems and should look after America first; wants $100-a-monlh .pensions for everybody over CO; and economy in government as regards sending money to Europe or to any foreign government. Do you think Alaska and Hawaii should be added as the forty-ninth and fiftieth states in the USA?- FILING DATE With the date for the close of" filing less than three weeks" off, the candidates must get busy in an' organized man ner. Smith did not. announce un tilhe filed for his candidacy; Gra ham delayed his visit to the State Board of Elections to fork over his $125,. but had announced many months ago and has been running hard for some time; and Reynolds' stenographers have been flooding the mail with letters, but their man had not visited the late A. J. Maxwell's son, Raymond, to plank down the $125. TWO WEEKS Within two weeksTyou" should be able to come to Raleigh and visit the offices 6f all three of the candidates.
