I[W f?. fiLpiv UNITED STATES*SENATOR ****** It is now evident that our people are becoming tax-conscious. This usually happens when citizens gener ally begin to ask whether they are receiving full return for their tax dollars. It is also an indication of a widespread feeling that huge gov ernmental expenditures, national, [state and local, cannot, in the final I analysis, make a permanent contri bution to national stability. As a result, a certain amount of uncertainty exists, particularly in business and industrial circles, that will not be fully removed until Federal policies are well-defined, un til Federal expenditures are fixed, and until some assurance is given tax-burdened citizens with regard to the taxes they will pay in the fu ture. No better evidence of this can be found than the fact that "behind the scenes," experts on taxation in both the executive and legislative .branches of the government are hard pressed to suggest new sources of revenue should Federal expendi tures exceed budget estimates. Here is also evidence that tax reservoirs have been tapped almojt to the lim it. Several things stand out. First, that in the scramble for revenue, all agencies of government have adopt ed the course of least resistance and levied taxes that would bring a minimum of protests; Second, that whil e rates of taxation have been steadily increased, there has not been a corresponding increase in tax receipts, and third, many new taxes have been imposed which, to say the least, are of extremely doubtful merit. About 150 years ago, a famous writer on economics laid down four principles to which taxation should conform. They are as follows: "People should be taxed as nearly as possible in proportion to their respective abilities, all taxes should bo dofinite and not uncertain or ar bitrary; they ought to be levied at the time and in the manner which causes the least inconvenience to the people, and they should be so contrived as to take oue of the pockets of the people as little as possible over what is needed by the Public Treasury." Instead, of following these sound methods, taxes have been too often levied on the principle of getting the most money with the least trouble. In a report made to the House Ways and Means Committee, which is charged with initiating all reve nue-raising legislation, appears this pertinent paragraph: "Large as the increase in our tax es has been, nevertheless such in crease has been insufficient to meet the increase in expenditures, there fore the majority of our governments are increasing their public debt. It seems proper to conclude that this situation must be remedied at an early date, if the financial stabil ity of our government is to be pre served." Throughout the report in quostion, is much comment with reference to the need of reducing Federal ex penditures as a sound approach to the tax problem. In fact, the Pres ident has placed the current situa tion squarely before the Congress and warned that expenditures beyond budget estimates must be accompan ied by new revenue. It is to be earn estly hoped that new taxes can be postponed until 1938 and tax revision carried through on a sound and equitable basis. This hope is shared by leaders in Congress.

ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1937 Raleigh Man Is Rotary Candidate Raleigh April 28—Newspaper pub lisher Johu A. Park, istlie active can didate of - the Raleigh Rotary Club for District Governor during the com ing year, the election to be at Pine hurst District Conference on may 10. Mr. Park has had a prominent part in Rotary affairs Bince the State's first club was founded at Ra leigh in 1914, serving as president and in other capacities. Demands on his services as song leader and speak er on community relations have car ried him into various fields. Known as an able leader in civic, religious, musical and educational affairs, he is widely known outside the profes sion of journalism. He has headed the State Press group and the Sou thern Newspaper Publishers Asso ciation. A graduate and former fa culty member of State College,he has served also as head of the General Alumni Association of his Alma Mater. Since his student days as a cow puncher, Mr. Park has been a globe trotter. Several voyages with the U. 6. Fleet as representative of the Asso ciated Press have carried him into tropical lands and seas.. He has cov ered most of Europe and also the two American Continents from- Nek foundland to the Argentine Republic. He completed last summer a total score of 25,000 miles of air travel, after an all-air tour of South America. Mr. Park recently celebrated his silver anniversary as head of The Raleigh Times. Election as Rotary Governor will take him to Europe in June for the International convention at Nice. M. 8. Hill,of the Greensboro Rot ary Club, is opposing Mr. Park in the May election. Shrine of The Sun For Will Rogers Everlasting memorial being erected for America's best-loved humorist in the Colorado mountains A little chapel is to bo a part of the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun which is Hearing completion oil a promontory of famous Cheyenne mountain above Broadmoor Hotel, jußt south of Colorado Springs, Col orado. The Will Kogers chapel and shrine will be everlasting as the mountains and as steadfast us the sun. This beautiful silver shaft stands out—like the man it honors. Its base is embedded in the backbone of the nation, on the front range of the Roeky mountains. Its spire kisses the Colorado sky. It is away from the busy world; it is utmost part of Crod's great mountains; it commands meditation; it is dignified and pic turesque, seemingly a link between the earthly imprints of the famous humorist, and his celestial home. The granite tower, resembling a feudal castle, was conceived and entirely financed by Spencer Pen rose, Colorado Springs pioneer and friend of Rogers. It was designed by Charles E. Thomas and built by Milton J. Strong. The spire is a genuine castle in the air, reached by the "ladder to-the-sky" Broadmoor - Cheyenne highway which zigzags up the face of the Cheyenne mountain. It con tains only materials that will en dure. There are no nails and no wood in the construction. More than 5,000 cubic yards of light pink granite was taken from a large sin gle boulder near the memorial to make the tower walls. By night the shrine will be flood lighted as a sparkling gem studded against the velvet of night. From the pinnacle will burn a sodium light, with provision for it to shine perpetually. There are four rooms in tier inside the shrine, connected by a spiral stairs leading to an ob servation alcove on the top. At the base of the 100-foot shaft will be the Will Rogers chapel, open to all mankind. Another of the rooms will be the Will Rogers Memorial room. To Da vidson, American sculptor who was a close friend of Rogers, is now completing an oversize bust of Rog ers, in his Paris studio for the me morial room. Randall Davy, noted Santa Fe artist, is painting the history of the West on the interior walls. The frescoes are arragncd so that visi tors may follow the history chrono logically by ascending the stairs. Davy will probably do the religious paintings in the chapel before the memorial is dedicated next summer. Thousands have already visited the shrine, under construction for 28 months. May Queen Chosen At Womans College Greens, May 6.—Miss Linda Mitchell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Averette N.

Miss Mitchell, who is chief mar shal at the Woman's College this year, was "Miss North Carolina at the Hhodendron festival in Ashe ville two years ago. Help for British Motorists Eb jfi * "" ' \ Officials of the Royal Automobile club's highway department loading a wagon with signs to aid motorists during the coronation ceremonies in London. The signs instruct auto drivers how to get to advantageous positions or how to avoid congested areas. Play Ground Our attention was called last Saturday, by neighbors, to several small boys playing ball on the Lutheran Church lawn, for they could find no other space on which they could play. The good preacher out of the kindness of his heart apparently did not drive them away, if he did see them. We have called attention to this urgent need before and we hope that the new administration will give serious thought to the importance of acquiring some vacant land in every ward in the City of Rocky Mount before this land is built up and becomes costly. The City School Board has recently had to condemn a* lot for SB,OOO or more on account of there being a building on the lot. The lot could probably have been acquired for one-fourth that amount. So, we are urging upon the new administration the importance of ac quiring land, before it is improved, for park purposes. We do not need playground equipment. We need the ground and the children will provide their own entertainment. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WIN HIGH AWARDS Migg Daughtridge Wing First Place And F. L.

RECEIPTS UP AND DOWN While Rocky Mount was playing j the carnival city during April, folks here were so engrossed in entertain ing at home that they simply quit writing letters.

Total receipts for 1937 through April were only $40.87 loss than for the first four months of 1936, though.
