August 30, and preparations, are being made -to take care ot a larger enrollment during the coming year. Kings Mountain's rapid growth means more children in school from year to yea, and" that means more buildings and equipment to meet their needs. We have every reason to he proud of our school system, for seme very effective teaching and training work is being done here. BUILD NOW , Considerable building has been done during the summer months in Kings Mountain and in. the surround ing sections, and likely a great deal more will be done during late summer and fall. The fall months provide weather for "building, audi per^ sons who contemplate building before cold weather should) not hesitate to get their projects under way now. Regardless of the size of the home, the home owner who finally dears his home of debt makes a substantial citizen. We believe that more and more ' encouragement should be given to persons who can afford to invest only a few hundred ' ' dollars very widespread indeed, according to a recent inouirv mado by the lndefattg able Dr. Oallup. According to the poll, three-quar era of all the citizens of the United' Stataa believe that they are not pay] ing any taxes at all. The people of j the "higher-income" groups are a-1 ware that they carry their share of! the tax burden. Ninety-seven percent] of those approached admitted as * much. But in the krw-inclme group only thrAA Allt. Af fl?A VAfoeo * w. ,,iu (v?vi o nnon nitxt they were taxpayers, while people in the middle range * of inoomee. from $20 to $40 a week, are better Inform ed in this matter of taxation. As a matter of fact, the people with the smallest Incomes pay out the largest proportion of tnelr earnings in the form of taxes, though they don't realize it. It has been estimated that the 920 a week wageearner pays more than 9200 a year in ''hidden" taxes, concealed in the price of everything he buy*. The storekeeper is tUfe tax collector. Unless he Is to fail In business, hat to get his own taxes out of the price of the things he sells. Then he must pay his share of the wholesaler's taxes, the taxes of the rail: roads and truck operators who bring the. goods to hla store, add back of these the taxes of the growers end WMMSoriuSf foodstuffs and of the manufacturers of all the rest of his merchandise. ?

The official a Views with alarm argue* that much h broader powers were needed for the b Wh!te House to deal with the expect n ed situation; that the problem shoud not be left in the hands of Congress Q Now, however, the economists are making light of the "alarming situ- . t'on." If they foresaw any such seri- ( ous crisis as was seen by the admin a ttratlon big~wig?, their business pre ^ dictions would not be so optimistic. g If there was- ever a time when the ^ political wisemen of "Washington were in agreement on a question, it Is now on the subject of the CIO vs. Vice-President Garner. All agree 0 ?hat the betleJbrowed CIO leader a blundered onto a political banana peeling when he made his unprecedented personal attack on the popular Texan. That the political strategists are In agreement is unimportant, how ever. Whot is important is that the event may. lead to many policy reforms in Washington. Certainly it deflates CIO influence in Congress, meaning that Congressioa! groups who still found- it "expedient to follow the wll of the CIO. will now find It difficult to convince more conservative colleague? that the CIO should have its way. Then too, the National Labor Relations Board* which ds about to be investigated by a Congressional committee is expected' to suffer a setback as a result. The CIO has been its chief defender. Interesting, too. is the fact that big and -political figures alike are trying to climb into th? John L. Lewis ver bat spotlight. Few can be found no* who want (or will accept CIO support for re-election. Rather, they believe their chances are stronger if T.ewls will attack them.
