' Mr. Andrews is a member of the committee interested in the passage of tne constitutional amendments and his name was- signed to one. of the articles this committee has sent to the news papers of the state. Bailey attacked Mr. r-Andrews' advocacy of the income tax; ' saying " that- he represented the Southern railroad "in all matters of jtaxation." Mr. Andrews not only de nies that he represents the-Southern" in all matters of taxation, but calls atten tion to the fact that his support of the income tax amendment. is not prompted by selfish reasons, He knows that the income tax amendment will make him pay a great deal more tax than he is now paying. but submits that property worth $107,- 000, which last year yielded a cash in come of about $8,000, not including the stock dividends, is not paying its pro portionate part of the taxes when it pays only $2.73 into the treasuries of Wake county and the city of Raleigh. The two letters one to Mr. Bailey and the other to the governor, are the most illuminating things yet. said about the income tax amendments, showing the difference the amendment will make in the taxes men of wealth will pay. join ed in i , 1 1 ti n T T nrHH r-emler Will rt3uo.ii reailitt arjoointed by differ A fferent assemblies, have been three dI"enrhis matter of closer rela orkm Cv were the committees of lions- - iqi9 1917. 191 n" . t, "ft committees, "The. ia"L, "Lfnnr meetings, three were conferences. with the com which were pregbyterian church in mitt A the United Presbyterian the nd the Reformed church in the church and i committees care- United . thB Dlans for closer .. .nnCl fit" , y U' The that of fully ha. relations for consideration. fore finally consolidated the 'plan of They final V cn- hv the council plan of f.rlpral union P' .ri , " Reformed churcnes " u SHIP NEWS BY WIRE JACKSONVILLE.

This means that the united assembly is to appoint executive committees ! or boards to superintend and carry on' these causes just so fat as the constitutional convention ana the constitutional churches grant the power. "Personally I hope that there will be I a large grant of power here, and tKat many of these causes will be turnea over to the united assembly. But 1 am sure our committee wants to know the mind of the church as to this. It you are Interested in the subject, or vltallv interested in any one of these causes, writ to our convener, the moderator of the assembly, Dr. W. x Lingle, and tell him just how fai- you think it is wise and best to turn these various causes over, to, the united assernbly. .This .Information he will brlhaf to our-jcojn-mitftee.

Don't keep silentvas to so vital a matter. and then blame the committee for colne tod far or . not eoine far enough. Write to Br. Lingle and give him your judgment and- your reasons . therefor. "There are many reasons why the union of all the Presbyterian and Re formed forces of our country is very desirable. There are many other rea sons why their organic union is today imnossible. Therefore we reel ana think that this 'Plan of Union Is an ideal- compromise. . We sincerely trust that our people win receive it as ta vorably as did our assembly, and ask for the constitutional convention, en it shall assemble, the sympathetic in terest and earnest prayers of our whole church.'
