An abstract of the address is here given, because the theme is one that should interest all read ers of this paper, and THE IN DEPENDENT welcomes this op portunity, to carry to its readers expert opinion on a question re lated to the development of the resources of northeastern North Carolina. At the conclusion of Dr. Rob- bin's address, the meeting voted to appoint a committee of five to cooperate with the Federal government in its tick, eradi cation work in Pasquotank county. ' In part, Drl Robbins said: He is survived by three 'sons, and a sister. Mrs. W. W. Hunter. He is also survived by several grandchildren. He had been in failing health for a year or more, and attributed the beginning of his illness to a severe fall which he.had down a flight of steps at his home on Botetourt Street.

'' In order to keep -faith with the people ' 3 recommend that thia General Assembly ; cut the property tax half in two except the tax levied for the benefit of the schools and I recommend that. this be reduced one-fourth. In addition to this ) action on the part of the State, the General Assembly should require coun ties and towns and special districts tc cut all their ad valorem taxes reduced half in two except the taxes levied for the support of the . schools, and these should be reduced one-fourth. The re- i Governor Bickett's recommen dations, including his sensational suggestion how to get v the truth from the, tax payers, ionows. Read: SHOULD NOT LEAP IN THE DARK When the General Assembly knows the liabilities of the State for two years It knows just half enough. Unless it Prefer to lean in the dark rather than to walk; in the light, the General As sembly should have -before it an in ventory of the assets of the State as well as its liabilities:. This inventory should be taken as thoroughly and as honestly as the merchant takes -stock when he desires to ascertain exactly how his business stands. There hat never been a conscientious effort tc take such an Inventory of the assets of North Carolina. The present machin ery act tends to conceal rather than rAvoal the true value of property. The excuse for sdeh machinery is that if nronertv should be placed upon the books at..its ; true; value the tax ratee would' be confistory. Such a fear if not well i founded. It may ; be consid ered a chUaish.. faith,, but I beUeve mat in the long run it pays to tell the truth about anything. We may not hope . tc be a great people so long-as we con done falshehood and deception in our illations to the gevernment unaer which we live. The principles and prac- tices that are toierateo intne this General "Aisombly shall r of non-listing of property for taxation , constitute a school of ImmoraUy tnai will, if allowed to continue, destroy tne moral fiber of our people. T devoutly believe that if we shai: resolve to about face and tell the exact truth about our property, we will not nnlv shame the devil, but we will de crease; rather-than increase the bur dens of taxation.
