Raleigh, April 30.—Justice to the
tax payer, to the shipper, to the
counties and to the State; justice
and fair play to the people through
all State agencies and through coun
ty governnient, was preached to
record crowds In half a dozen towns
last week by Angus Wilton McLean,
candidate for the Democratic nomi
nation for the office of Governor of
North Carolina, who has Just started
an intensive campaign of speech
making through Tarheella:
Freight rates, tax haws and roads
j;iarllcularly were discussed during
the week. Of freight rates Mr. Mc
Lean said at Nashville:
“1 am in favor of unrelenting war
fare against the discriminatory and
prejudicial rate burdens carried by
our people, both In Interstate and in
trastate shipments. The fullest
measure of support by every avail
able State agency should be used in
prosecuting before the Interstate
Commerce Commission and other
proper tribunals proceedings having
lor their purpose the removal of
every discrimination which prevents
our people from Just and equitable
freight rates that will place them
on a parity with the citizens of other
stutes."
In this connection Mr. McLean
reminded his hearers that 'North Car
olina has suereltd from rates made
In the interests of the Virginia cities.
“Every intelligent person," he said,
“must admit that for years Virginia
has been a pensioner on the bounty
of North Carolina—both with re
spect to freight rates and banking
resources and to trade and commerce
generally. I feel that North Caro
lina farmers and business men who
•are contributing in taxes and other
.ways toward making North Carolina
a great State should have the bene
fit of North Carolina trade and com
merce.”
Admitting that there are many
defecta In the administration of the
present system of taxation in North
Carolina. Mr. McLean pointed out
that the system In Itself was not en
tirely to blame lor the—in some
cases—inequitable distribution of
the tax burdens. These inequalities,
he said, must be worked out by the
governing bodies of the various coun
ties, since it Is with the counties
that tho levying, collection and appli
cation of taxes on property lies. Un
der the present system the State de
rives revenue only from Income tax
es, gasoline, automobiles, etc. The
greater part 61 the tax money of the
Gommomwbalth Is levied, collected
and used within the counties and by
the county government.
Mr. McLean believes that the sys
tem Itself Is good—the best the peo
ple of the Slate have been able to
work out. “A way can and must be
found to eliminate the Inequalities
which are apparent to any one who
knows the situation; and Democrat
ic officials can bo depended upon to
bring about any adjustments that
may be found necessary in order to
attain equality and uniformit of op
eration. I have no doubt that this
will be done as speedily as possible.
•Characterizing the State’s road
building program as one of the great
est achievements of the country, Mr.
McLean pointed out that there are
populated, that should be brought
Into closer touch with the rest of
North Carolina through the build
ing of roads. The basis of road
money apportionment, he said, is
generally fair and equitable, “but it
is probably necessary that to create
an equalization fund from the general
State road fund to provide a trunk
line highway connecting the Isolated
counties with the mainline roads al
ready constructed In other parts of
the State."
These, thinks the farmer-business
man candidate, are problems to bo
worked out by the chief executive
working in harmony with the de
partments.
^^^^ring the week. Judging form
reports coming mto Raleigh, the
Robeson county man, hitherto re
puted to he no orator, has developed
into enq of the most eloquent speak
ers heard in many a day In North
Carolina. Everywhere his eloquence
In praise and defense of his party
In the State and nation has been
commented upon. His speeches be
sides being plain statements of fact
as he sees it, have been really en
tertaining; and everywhere his evi
dent sincerity has won the conll-
dence of the people.
He has, his friends contend, noth
ing to hide, nothing to conceal. He
is a straightforward business man
With the primary a month in front
of them, candidates • for the various
county offices are bestirring them
selves with more than the usual
amount of “pep" and most of them
are making two steps where on ordi
nary occasions they make .but one.
The reason for this is that there are
more than the usual number of can
didates for the offices that are to be
contested for. Of course there are
some “lemons" on the list of offices
to bo filled. It Is generally the case
in politics as well as in other matters
than non-lucratlve jobs are not
sought after with as much vim as
aire the ones with emoluments at
tached. Such, for Instance, are
memberships on the Board of County
Commissioners and the Board of
Education. In the columns of The
Ne'ws appears but two men who say
they are willing to sacrifice their
time for the county as “fathers,"
and one of them is the Chairman,
Jas. A. Taylor of Dunn. No offerings
have been made for the Board of Ed
ucation, terms of all of the present
mermbers expiring with this term and
all being elective.
The Register of Deeds job is the
most sought after. There are five
entrants In this race, as follows, be
ing here named In order in which
they announced: Sion A. Harrington,
L. E. Stancil, both of Duke; H. A.
Parker of Dunn; A. M, Shaw, Miss
Mamie Sexton, both of Lilllngton.
For the office of Sheriff there are
four entrants, a.H follows, in the or
der announced; M. C. Upchurch, of
Lllllington; A. B. Durrin of Augierj
W. H. Salmon of the Hickory Grove
community; J. W. McArtan of Lll-
lington. For the office of County
Recorder there are three entrants,
as follows: L. L. Levinson, -C. R. Par-
tin, both of Coats; Joe E, Carlness
of Lilllngton, For the House of
Representatives: N. A. Townsend of
Dunn. There is one “independent"
candidate announcing for Sheriff: f
C. G. Neal of Dunn.

of any other entrants for the offices,
but there must be some names for
the two county boards and If there
are no volunteers some drafting must
be done. This is 'the nsual method
of procedure anyway, because there
are not many men in the county who
are willing to undertake the respon

No one has ever suggested that non-,

“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto

The leaders in two thousand Bap
tist churches In North Carolina are
wishing for the great campaign to
go on, said Dr. Bryan. They are
Just beginning to realise the Joy that
comes .^through duty well performed,
and they are not of a mind to turn
back. Rftther,^they have Just found
their stride, and giving and doing
adds a zest to their religious life the
like of which we hav^ never experi
enced before. He spoke of his meet
ing with the Baptists throughout 'the
State and how the great heart of the
Church bad. fixed itself with a stead
fast purpose to carry on the work
along the lines of the enlarged pro
gram that had been mapped out.
They have foun4 their duty, said he.
and they vrtll never agalir be con-,
tent with smaller effort—they have
their eyes fixed upon the vision and
their hearts set upon Us realization.
Upon Jesus, the rook of salvation,
the Baptists of North Carolina are
placing their fatth, and the raising
of seventy-five million dollars is a
mere incident in the life of a Chris-
"ilan whose soul ever looks upward
and onward.

A41 the great powers of Europe
have gotten together on some one
principle at last. They have all ac
cepted the reparations plan worked
out by the committee of the inter
national experts. All but France
hare accepted unconditionally, and
the French acceptance obviously was
the greatest concession to world sen
timent' that Paris has made since
1918.
Germany Is already working out
new laws which will be needed to
put the plan into effect. J, P. Mor
gan has declared United States finan-
olers will undertake to float half ot

Dr. Br.van delivered a clear and
