PAGE TWO The Rocky Mount Herald Published Every Friday at Rocky Mount, North Caro tiaa, by The Rocky Mount Herald Publishing Company Pablication Office: Second Floor Daniels Building, Bocky Mount, Edgecombe County, North Carolina TED J. GREEN News Editor and Manager MISS MARY RENXEKER Assistant Editor Subscription Rates: One Year, $1.00; 6 Months, 60« ■fettered as second-class matter January 19, 1934, at the post office at Rocky Mount, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879 Advertising rates reasonable, and furnished to pros pective advertisers on request YES News and Observer The proposed income tax amendment should appeal to the voters of North Caro lina, irrespective of party or faction, be cause it contemplates merely freeing the hands of legislators to approach more near ly the pattern of tax equity. The spirit of our Constitutiion is devoted to the principle of uniformity and justice. But the limitation of the letter, a 6 per cent bridle upon income taxes, provides a door through which wealth escapes the tax ation that men of small means must bear, robs the State of desirable and fair sources of revenue, and makes excessive burdens upon property almost inescapable. On the broad principle that government must get the money to meet the obligations of government where the money is, a long step forward in the way of fair taxation may be achieved in November if voters re cord themselves as voting "Yes" on this proposition. NO! News and Observer Twice there has been submitted to the people of North Carolina the proposal to strike the word Uniformity out of the State Constitution. Both times the people refus ed the plea of the favored classes to mako it possibly to levy a lower rate on intangi bles than upon real property. This is the purpose of Amendment No. 3 called "Per mitting Classification of Property for Tax ation." The originators of this amendment, twice voted down, have no purpose except to find a way to make a low tax rate on bonds and stocks and other intangibles when there is no limit of tax on real estate—homes and farms and factories. From time out of mind equality has been the spirit of the Constitution. Amendment No. 3 would abolish Equality and substitute for it Favoritism. On Amendment No. 3 vote No and explain its viciousness to your neighbors. Any proposal to abandon Uniformity can have but one end—to substitute Ine quality and Favoritism.

C. BRASWELL, President MILLARD F. JONES, Vice-President, Cashier, and Trust Officer MEMBERS: Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation TUNE IN WEED SUNDAY 1:00 to 1:15 FOR THE PLANTERS' PROGRAM NO INTENT TO ROB The Enterprise Some of those counties advancing money for the construction of state highways 15 or 16 years ago, in filing their recent claims for refunds, had no intent of robbing anyone or making a raid on the state high way fund. The bill passed by the last leg islature provided for the appointment of a commission by the governor to investigate the claims. The counties now burdened with a road debt created that motorists from 48 state and all foreign countries might ride to the enrichment of an almighty highway commission and at the expense of everyone else only ask a consideration of their claims, And it is honestly believed that if they are shown they have received # square deal then the claiments will be quiet. But before the commission even offers its preliminary findings, cries of robbery, raiding, stealing, foolish actions are heard from those whose property is not burdened with road debt or those who live in those counties where the highway commission was hogtied and mortgaged to the hilt be fore a single penny was advanced to pro mote a road program. For the sake of continuing a highway pro gram that is apparently devoid of sound reasoning, there are those who would let even widows and orphans lose their homes, their property and everything else. Look at the proposed $2,000,000 monumental bridge across Albemarle Sound. If that project can be justified, then all the claims, regardless of whelhe" they are for money spent on pig paths in a far-off backwoods should be paid without an investigation by /the governor's commission. There have been too many political roads built in this state. Too many hubs have been formed around the residences of high way commission members. Probably every foot of concrete poured in North Carolina was justified, but the facts that would fupport that action are foreign to most peo ple, and the foremost idea in the iminds of ■many is that the great highway commission of this state is about to totter and fall from its own great strength. «That some of the present highway commission heads and some of the commission members should be impeached there is no doubt in the minds of many people. Toward this end the peo ple are anxiously awaiting a chance in the ippointive power and the convening of the legislature. Martin county may have more than its share of roads, but Martin people could not help it if a highway commissioner built roads through their county to serve princi pally markets and merchants in his district. Parallel roads, hardiy more than two or three miles apart, in other counties might have been and still may be necessary, but the system seems a bit cock-eyed to those people who pay gasoline taxes to bump and low-gear over poorly kept dirt roads. If North Carolina's highway commission can take over the debts of those who financ ed bridges to semi-public beaches, and if the commission can build a two-million dol lar bridge where the people don't even want it, then why in the name of common sense can't the claims of several counties to re funds be investigated without the claimants being called robbers and raiders?

And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me thse things. Then saith he un to me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book; worship God." (Revelation 22: 8, 9).
