SOME POINTS AHO IT TV.VES. Accord Ins; to Burke, all political questions are. in the last analysis, Questions of taxation. With a new tariff law now pending, and with strong; advocacy of income tax or Inheritance amendments pending with It, taxation U Just at present before the American public rr an unusually Conspicuous manner Two among our contemporaries make themselves htard upon different aspects of the Subject. "burlng the tariff debate In the Senate one day recently," remarks The Norfolk Virginlan-Pllnt, "one of the speakers uttered a truth of wide application when he declared that 'No tax on the business occupation of S citizen could he defended success fully In anv forum ' Yet nearly every Southern State and a large majority Of the cities rely to a great extent on (hat moet illogical and impolitic of All ways of raising revenue. Not only is the system pernicious as carry tag with it double taxation, for It not onlv takes toll for a license and then xacts a second tribute from the pro oeeds of the occupation or Investment, but it throws obHtailes In the way of the very thing which It ought to be the first object of every commun ity to encourage. New York does not invite people to open shop or curry on trades or professions within her borders by charging them two prices tor the privilege, but Virginia does, and under her laws Norfolk must." And likewise with North Carolina and with Charlotte. We doubt very gnuch If any other Stute in the Cnlon has license taxes quite numerous, o vexatious and in many cases so burdensome as has North Carolina. While we hardly care to go as far as our Norfolk contemporary does In condemning the whole principle of li cense taxes, we quite sereo that there are few forms of taxation which more easily become oppressive. North Carolina may not for ye;irs feel able ii. 4iannM altogether with Income from such sources", but rational tux reforms, Involving the equalization of property returns throughout the Bute, would at once remove all occa afon for inflicting any actual nuis ance. The Macon Telegraph, discussing State Income tax laws, considers as typical the cases oi Massachusetts. Virginia and South Carolina. Massa chusetts exempts Incomes under $2. 000 Virginia taxes all Incomes over JgOO South Carolina has a graduat ed tax, exempting all incomes be low $2.50 The law is very unequR- y enforced, with the result that some V Of the wealthiest counties in the ' : State like Greenville, pay scarcely - any Income tax at all. "Pennsylva ' la. North Carolina and Louisiana." . ramarks The Telegraph further, "have J hd at one time or another such a tax, "but t was seldom and irregularly levied." We must say that with ' JMOrth Carolina rests tlx- unenviable distinction of exempting only 11,000. -Virginia al"iic duos worse go without saing that I States taxes dm- upon in. nnll are not cllcctcd . ... - - liy.

The Advertiser admits as correct our statement about decadence of the use of cornbread. After giving some of the reasons for this and deploring the existence of the fact, it comes to the main pylnt the mate rial of which the Johnny cake was made. Here it Joins issue with us and most emphatically denies our statement that flour and not meal was used, and attempts to throw rid icule on our position In the follow ing "lint we are free to Observer The FIXES THAT XML COUNT. Says The Greensboro Telegram: Five officers of the American Naval Store Company have been found funty In the oaee brought against the turpen tine trust for violating the Sherman anti trust law. The best way to stop this thing of organising trusts' and squeezing all the little fellows out is to put some body In Jail for It. Fines do no good It Is like selling liquor in violation or law. Fines for such an offence consti tute a license to commit it, nothing less. As a general rule The Telegram' proposition is correct When a cor poration or Its officers are fined for the violation of a law the fine comes out of place out of the company s treasury and ny that much reduces the fund which is held for the benefit of the stockhold ers. But in tne case of the Ameri can Naval iiUres Company the five men who have been convicted are all UNJUST FBEIGHT BATES THIS STATE lX!8CTTKKlXa.

PKNNY-WI6K. POl'N'D-FOOUSII. Are the Guilford county peo ple ashamed of their macadam roads and trying to hide the-m from pub Iks observation? The Greensboro Record saya that one of these roads Is bolng covered with dirt snoveieu out of. the ditches alongside. We can't Imagine what is the purpose except it be to prevent the public seeing the unsightly holes which have been worn by constant use Into the macadam. Btirely, It Is not intended to mend stone roads by tilling the holes with mud. That's time and money thrown away and won"t fool anybody Into thlnlclnir thev are good roads. Guil ford folks ought to come to Meck lenburg and see how her roads are kept up. They won't find any filling of holds with soft mud or sand out of tho ditches.

And it in both imes so very effect- We do not suppose Mrs. Hoyle. the woman who participated in tho Whit la kidnaping, has any idea of com mitting suicide as she so often said she would do if sentenced to the penitentiary.

What more convenient Instru ment of death to a prisoner when nlone than a Jsgged piece of glass with which to open an artery? It is rather strange she was allowed to take such an ortlcle into her cell af ter she had declared so positively that she would commit suicide soon after entering the penitentiary.
