vs VOLUME XLII1, NUMBER 11 TAXES THEME OF BOWIE'S SPEECH HERE TUESDAY Candidate for Nomination in Senate Race Has Overflow AudiciiCc Courthoute. Tax and Tariff Reform Feature Address of Prominent Attorney. Assails Senator Morrison, and Says Land Taxes Should Drop. In an address before an audience of such proportions that standing room was at a pieniiuni, Judge **Tam" Bowie, Democratic candidate for the Lnised States Senatorial nomination, spoke to the people of Watauga on Tuesday noon. Attorney John Bingham introduced Mr. Bowie in most plowinc terms nnd the Ashe County man began his speech with the statement that, while he had made many talks in his pres4% ent campaign, previously he had .spoken before strangers?in Watauga he felt at home. The theme of Mr. Bowie's speech was a revaluation of the land tax for the people, illustrating the necessity of which the speaker stated that-only one-sixth of the land of the State of North Carolina was under cultivation and that this small percentage actually bore the full burden of taxation for the whole commonwealth. Mr. Bowie pointed out that the ^ present economic condition of the i country was not due to Divine Will, but to human error,?that the impossibility of the present situation was because the people chose to have represent them men who were interested in thir own welfare rather than men who had the interest of the people at heart. lie further stated that the Honorable Cameron Morrison, present senator and a rival candidate for the nomination, had on several occasions either opposed or supported men who were opposed to a revaluation cf land Values with a view 1 to reducing the heavy burden of taxation. Continuing, he declared that when it was proposed to increase the tax oil 1 l.c power companies and tobacco companies, Mr. Morrisur. opposed this tax, choosing to support the ad valorem tax on land advocated by ' Governor Gardner. jt _ "No jury of the people, trying al case of. the county vs. either a biia power scmpitry or tobacco company | wouia nave in its nuniher a man wool 1757 r> ~.terkbv!-.\4.'. :;i tlia ..mi pa ay in-1' volvod," rail! Ml*. Rowio; "yet Mr.!. Morrison, who favored a lnmi tax rather than an increase in taxation 011 the above-mentioned industries, was and is a stockholder in both to- ! bacco comoanies?and the voters elm h'.tVi to loot: after their V.*l interests." -Mr. Howie told his audience that, ! while he was a believer in the high j tariff that made it possible for men ill Canada to buy farm machinery at about half what they pay for the same ' thing in this country, ho believed that the American stock raiser and farmer ' would benefit if, instead of a two- ' cent tariff on Argentine amj Canadian beef, and relatively high atriffs , on other farm products from other countries, there was a tariff of fif- J teen cents a pound on beef or pro- , hibitive tariff on grains; for, as things j are at present, the foreign markets . can and do undersell the local producers. This, said Mr. Bowie, was not a Republican doctrine, but a necessity. Quoting William McAooo, son- 1 ill-law of President Wilson and a ; staunch Democrat, Bowie said that ! the former Cabinet member alwnys ' advocated a fixed minimum price for arm products, in accordance with a plan that has been in effect in France since 1377 and one which both Germany and England have adopted with ^England, who wiped-out=a-four- : liundred-million-dollar deficit and left, a surplus in her treasury, has never had a land tax; New York State has : never had a land tax for State pur- 1 poses"; and, in closing, Judge Bowie reiterated his stand that there is no era of prosperity around any corner anywhere unless the true value of real estate, the basis of the American .? home and the American government, is restored, and unless the farmer gets a decent price for his product. Bonus Would Bring a Huge Sum to Watauga Frank D. Grist, candidate for the ; Democratic nomination to the U. S. Senate and a World War veteran, gives out the information that should the soldier bonus be passed, $185,819.60 will be released in Watauga County alone. Mr. Grist ii favoring the prompt payment of the compensation certificates, and states that today there are 750,000 able-bodied World War veterans unemployed and 800,000 who are working from one to four hours a week at greatly reduced wages. The soldier candidate does not believe that the government will desert its defenders in their hour of need, when more than a million and a half face the prospect of want and hunger. Mr. W. E. Shipley of Wallace, Va., transacted business in Boone the first of the wees. /ATAI A Non-Partisan Net BOONE, Bowie Speaks i Iu T.im C.

Charges Domination of Functions of Government by Monied Few. Says Prohibition Kus Failed to Prohibit. Bob Reynolds of Asheville, candiate ior the Democratic nomination g ?i the TJiilted States Senate, came to v oene Monday, and nr. tp? noon re- r sss of court spoke to an audience b stimated at not less than eight, hun- t red on the issues that face the elec- t irate in the current political cam- h nign. Introduced by Stale Senator n William R. I.ovill, Mr. Reynolds lunched into an attack on the na- h iolnal administration, and credited li lany of the economic woes of the f ind to the fact that government has A een "taken from the hands of the v eople and placed in ihe grasp of s :all Street." "Big business controls your State," n pelared tlio snoul-ov "o?'i J our national government. During the ri aar 1031 merchants by the hundreds J ere forced into bankruptcy and the v nailer businesses of the land periled hv the thousands.

And just as sure as you live,*' fj le Ashcville man added, "the gov- 0 rnment will be returned to the pen- n ie at the November elections." V Mr. Reynolds favors payment in ]. ill of adjusted compensation certif- n atcs to World War veterans, and by ie tone of his remarks he wondered ; hv the national administration had ,, it gotten around to the place where n icy could invest a couple of billion >l!ars in their notional heroes. "The tl [ministration at Washington has seep ( t to place into the bands of the cor- ( orations two billion dollars with j. hich to relieve their financial ail- n ents. The Reconstruction Finance orporation has made it possible for iitroad companies to borrow as much ? > seventy-five million dollars at one!,; nie. Yet Ibis same nation claims it t unable to give to those nier. who nllod their warm blood on foreign a elds a similar sum, which unquefconnblj* belongs to them." < Speaking as he termed it, through > ic lips of temperance, Reynolds *] irned his attention to the piohibi-1 (Continue!! on ruge A) . ^ tabies in Livestock ti Follows Mad Dog Scare A. Mr. J. R. Mast of Sugar Grove d ime to town Monday, bringing with m the head of a lamb which was r, ain after it was believed to have ^ iveloped rabies. Dr. H. B. Perry ^mediately forwarded the head to * ie state chemist for analysis. 3] Mr. Mast states that following the d ad dog scare on Cove Creek a few S eeks ago that livestock over a wide TJ *ea appear to have developed by- S rophobia. He has killed tv/o lambs V ora his flock. Clark Swift killed a ^ ad two-year-old heifer, while Boone H aacs dispatched a yearling. The dog b hich is believed to have been re>onsible, was finally killed after it a \d run wild through the principal t! restock section of the county. It is w lid thta rabies may develop in three h eeks or any longer period, and it is ci jiieved thai much more damage will f( it result from the invasion of the ir ad dog. c IRS.
