Paul Leonard, a local citi zen who happens to be the secretary of the North Carolina Fair Tax Association. Our reading about his work was interesting as we were, more or less, in sympathy with what he is trying to accomplish by his speech making. Last Thursday night, however, it was our privilege to be a guest of the Business and Professional Women's Club when Mr. Leon ard addressed that body. His speech was an inspiration. He presented so many as pects to the demoniacal qualities of the sales tax that no doubt many present were fully converted to his way of viewing what he calls the income tax in reverse. One of the most striking aspects which were brought out in Mr. Leonard's talk, and one which was a new way of viewing the sales tax to us, was what the speaker term ed the un-Christian side of the levy. Some heart wringing illustrations of this aspect were given from actual experiences of the speaker, not from an imaginative allegory. He described a family seen on the streets of Statesville within the last several days since the stores have displayed their Christ mas splendor. The poor family was in rags as Mr. Leonard viewed them from his park ed car in front bf one of the department stores. Their clothing was so scant and tat tered that bare skin shone through in many places. They hesitated in front of one of the luxuriant show windows of new, warm clothing. They looked longingly at the gar ments, and turned into the store. The scene attracted Mr. Leonard. He followed them to I the bargain basement where they were seen to purchase a little pair of overalls for a small child. They were taxed for this piti ful privilege. In another part of the State, a man's barn was burned and with it his team of mules. When another team of mules was bought to replace them, the man was taxed because of his distaster. The State, in its several institutions for the training of school teachers, turns out mrre young ladies and men every year pre pared for this profession than are needed to fill the vacancies. The ones who have to remain idle after they have prepared them selves are taxed to help pay those who are at work. Similar circumstances of the un-Christian side of the sales tax could be recited indefi nitely. STATEMENT) I Peoples Bank and Trust Co.

"THE EXECUTOR THAT NEVER DIES" ■—■■■ l llllllllWllllllil IHI I I' I'll 111111 l 111 l 11111 l I 111 GOOD FARMERS PROSPER The Gold Leaf Farmer, Wendell, Due to the efforts of the government at control of the production of various crops much interest has been manifested recently through the nation in the problems of far mers throughout the country. We have made inquiries from various men in this section and have about come to the conclusion that the very best crop control is the control of a wise farmer over his own crops. Stupendous surpluses, built up when buying power wanes temporarily, are bound to affect the price of commodities ad-| versely, and tobacco and cotton seem pecu-1 liarly susceptible to these fluctuations in , price. No farmer can control this factor that affects his year's profit, but there are fac tors that every farmer can control. A dozen eggs that will sell for fifteen cents are worth just as much to the family of a farmer for food as if they sold for sixty cents. The same thing applies to butter, pork, corn meal, vegetables and fruits. What the far mer raises at home for home consumption is not affected by any change in prices, which is the fundamental reason why live-at-home farmers, as a rule, always prosper. This is the very best crop insurance. It seems to us that this is the very best year we have seen for those farmers who have not been producing everything that could be raised on their farms of what they consume to begin doing this. Business, as a whole, has suffered a slightly more than normal recession, and most farm crops have slumped decidedly in price. There may be further recession in prices of farm commo dities, so the sensible thing for every far mer to do this year, as we see it, is to play it safe—or at least as safe as possible. Farming at its very best is a rather speculative enterprise. No man can know what kind 3f harvest he will get, no mat ter how hard he works. Too much rain, too little rain, or the onslaught of some insect pest may nullify all his hard work and plan ning. Even if a bumper crop is harvested there can be no assurance that the price will be such as to make it profitable. The two crops in which we are most in terested in Wendell, and in this community are, of course, cotton and tobacco. Pros pects are not bright for good prices for either commodity for the fall of next year. A record cotton crop was produced in 19- 37, and indications are that even larger acreage may be planted in 1938. The carry over is heavy, and in spite of increased for eign demand, Another large crop will al most certainly bring further declines in the price. Tobacco sold well in 1937, and cotton was cheap. This combination has always been followed the next year by a large crop of tobacco. We hope this will not be true this year, but we believe that it will. In that case, and if the seasons are favorable, we expect to see tobacco sell for much less next fall than it did last fall. On the whole the time seems to us to be ripe to produce more feed, keep more live stock, and raise more food for home con sumption. Nobody can take from the value of that portion of the crop used on the farm. THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALU, KUCfcY MOUIMT, NOKTH CAROLINA CAUGHT G-Men from the Charlotte Brancn of the P. B.
