LAWYERS
BAD OFF
Low Income in Halifax For Be
ginners—Doctors and Den
tists Fare Better
Halifax County has a total of 30
lawyers, 6 of whom receive less than
$1,000 a year for their professional
services; 24 doctors, of whom 1 re
ceives less than $1,00 0a year, accord
ing to their individual statements,
.made to representatives of and re
corded in the Department of Reve
nue. The professional man who re
ceived less than $1,000 a year for his
services the year before, which, of
course, includes those just beginning
to practice, have to pay only one
half of the $25 license fee imposed
on those making more than that
amount.
Figures compiled in the Revenue
Department show that slightly less
than one lawyer out of three, 30.75
per cent, or 638 out of the 2075 pay
ing the license fee to practice, made
less than $1,000. Doctors fared bet
ter, only one out of 15 or 13.4 per
cent, or 268 out of th eeven 2000 pay
ing the fee were entitled to the half
rate. Dentists almost reachced the
lawyer class in compensation for their
services, one out of five, 20.05 per
cent, or 137 of the 684 listed as pay
ing received less than $1,000 a year.
The N. C. year book lists 2266 law
yers, the State collecting fees from
2075; it lists 2049 doctors, the State
getting fees from even 2000 and lists
732 dentists, 684 paying license fees.
In some cases, of course, the men are
inactive, teachers or engaged in other
activities.
