THE GLEANER ISSUED *KVEBY THURSDAY. J. P. KERNODLE, Editor. f SI.OO A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. flie editor will not bo responsible for #|«wa eq pressed by correspondents. Bntered at toe Postofflce at Orsham, N. C., as second class matter. GRAHAM, N. C„ July 17, 191!). R+ ■ Governor Hickett has written an if- open letter to "Mr. Average Citizen." The letter appears in full in this par per on this date. It concerns the re | • valuation of property for the pur poses of taxation —a process that is now going on throughout tlio Slate. Look up this letter and read it. The Governor points out tho fact that each owner of property him-elf makes out a statement of tlio value of his property and swears U> it. But that is not final. His state ment will bo reviewed and the value compared with the values namod by others inJ)io same community. If the owner puts tho price too high, it I * will be lowered; if too low, it will be raised—all this after tho property has been viewed. Equal justice to I all in the matter of taxation is the k aim and it is tho "Averago Citizen" | who will fix the taxable value of all property. 0 The last Legislature passed a "child welfare" law that is now in effect. A statement by the child welfare commission is printed else where in this issuo. In this state ment i« included a section from tho law which fixes tho age limit under which a child is not allowed to do certain work, enumerating the kinds, except by dispensation granted by the commission. Fourteen yeara is the age named in the law, under which children aro barred from tho kinds of employment named in tho section. The purpose of the law is to provent |J '* undue burdens being placed upon fe children of tender years, where parents and employes show little concern for the future of the child. If the law did not givo tho commis sion considerable discretion in many Instances it would work a severe hardship. Who Dr Chase Is Outside of school circles not many peoplo seem to know who the newly elected president of the University is. Mr. K. W. Madry, a correspondent at Chapel Hill, gives tho following sketch of the iiew president: Dr. Harry Woodburn Chase, tho newly elected president of the University of North Carolina, was born in Grovelaud, Mass , ,'s(i years Ago, and was educated in the pub lic schools of that town and at Dartmouth College, from which he received the A. 11. degree. He began his work for the A. M. de gree in 1904, but left before it was conferred. The requirements for the degree, however, he com pleted while teaching, and it was conferred in 11108. He was a graduate student in psychology under i>r. G. Stanley 1 l/ill, ll)O8-'10 at Clark University, Worcester, MUM., and received the Ph. I), degree in psychology from that institution in ISIIO. In the summer of that year ho began his association with the University of North Carolina a* professor of the philosophy of education. In 1015 his title became professor of psychology, Following the death of Dr. lid ward K. Graham, Dr. Chase wiis named as acting dean of the Col lege of liberal arts upon the ap pointment of l'rof. M. 11. Stacy as chairman of the faculty iu 191 S. He held that position until the death of Prof. Stacy,'when ho be camo chairman of the faculty. Dr. Chase made a favorable im pression upon the executive com mittee of the board of trustees, with whom he has been iu con ference frequently since ho ha* been chairman of the faculty. His appearance before the legislative committees in the General Assem bly of 1019 likewise called forth favorable comment. The news received here from Haloigh tonight that Doctor 11. \V. Chase was elected president of the State University was received by the University community with a genuine feeling of satisfaction. The announcement was made public just at the close of the com mencement debate and produced prolonged applause. As acting deau of the University Dr. Chase fast gained favor and as acting S resident this spring he won the earty approval and sympathy of the faculty and studeuts.

My Dear Mr. Average Citizeu: An intimate acquaintance with" you, extending over a number or years, leads mo to write you this intensely personal letter. 1 know that you love the/truth, that you despise injustice, that you are a robust champion or the square real. The possession by you of the cardinal virtu- s makes North Carolina a truly groat State. The most vital power or the State is the power to tax, and you believe that this vital power should be exercised with a Hill knowledge or the truth. You be lieve that rroui this full knowledge of the truth there will flow per fect equality fn taxation. For the first time in the history of the State you, Mr. Average Citizen, have it in your power to write the full truth and perfect equality in the tax books ot th«» Stare. You have never been called upon to do this berore; indeed, you have never/icon permitted to do this berore. Hut now the Gen eral Assembly has enacted a law that places the matter entirely in your hands. The new tax law is written on correct principles. The machinery tor its enrorcemoiit is adequate and appropriate. The law is so written that it will be easy for tho citizen to do right and hard for hi in to do wrong. Hut on you, Mr. Average Citizen, rests the responsibility of determining whether or not the wise and just purpose of the law shall bo car ried out. Now, Mr. Average Citizen, you will receive fi questionairo and will be called upon to swear be fore (»od and to all your fellow citizens what in the fair market value of your property. When you couie to take thin solemn oath it will be helpful to you to put to your own conscience this ques 'tion: "If I did not own thi* prop erty, but wanted to buy it, what would I bo justified it paying for it?" and, again: "If I wanted to sell this property, not at a forced sale, but in the way and on the terms that property of this class is generally sold iti this com munity, what do I really believe I could get for it ?" The answer to these questions will point with reasonable accuracy to the fair market value of your property. This fair market value you must writedown in your questionaire, elso you will cease to be Mr. Average Citizen and become Mr. Undesirable Citizen. When you, Mr. Average Citizen, tell the truth about your proper- will do no good for your neighbor, Mr. Undesirable Citi zen, to cell a lie about his proper ty, be cause when tho books show truly what the property of Mr. Average Citizen is worth, this evidence will clearly and conclu sively show what tho property of Mr. Undesirable Citizen is worth. The local and district assessors, when they come to fix the value of property, will be governed by the sworn testimony of .Mr. Aver age Citizen. And when you, Mr. Average Citizen, tell the unvarnished truth about your property, that truth will wipe out every discrimina tion ftntl every.inequality in taxa tion in North Carolina. True volues are always equal values, but tho greatest expert cannot equalize a aeries of falsehoods. When all the property in the .State shall be placed on the books at its fair market value, many benefits will accrue to you, Mr. Average Citizen. 1. You will have the great sat isfaction of knowing that the record written by all tho people of the State is a true record and not a libel on the commonwealth. This knowledge will wonderfully strengthen the moral,fiber of our people. 2. You will know that every discrimination in taxation is wip ed out, and that every citizen is carrying his fair part of the bur den. 3. Aw the .values go up the rate of taxation will go down, and hereafter North Carolina will be known far and wide as a wealthy State with a low rat J of taxation instead of a State with a high rate of taxation. I. The General Assembly lias made a pledge not to collect, un der the proposed true valuation of property, revenues greater than ton |wr cont iu excess of the reve nue* collected under the present false values. This means that the total revenues collected by the State shall not be greater than ten per cent in excess of the total revenues collected under the pre sent law. This most emphatical ly does not mean that no particu lar citi/.en will have to pay taxes in excess of ten per cent of the amount he has heretofore paid. A particular citizen may pity less taxes than ho has ever paid be fore. -He may pay double what he has heretofore paid. This de pends on whether or not he has heretofore paid his fair share of the taxes according to his true worth. If he has paid more thau his fair share the increase as to him will be less than ten per cent; if he has paid less thau his fair share, the inerease as to him will IK; more than ten per cent, OVER-ACIDITY o! the atomach tuta opaat many • night'* rest 1) jrour tfomach U add ditfuibed, diaaolve two or Una KMIOIDS on the tongue be/of* retiring and en joy refreshing *leep. The purity and goodness of Ki-mtoidt guaranteed by Qj SCOTT A BOWNE MAKERS or scorrs EMULSION You, Mr. Average Citizen, will at once perceive the essential jus tice in thus equalizing the public burden. I call on you to lend your vigorous support, first, by example, and then by precept, to this attempt by the General As sembly t6 bulla uji a taxation sys it*n in North Carolina yrou-nded on perfect truth and perfect jus tice. Ity so doing you will help to practically demonstrate that it is profitable in money and in morals to a people as well as to an indi vidual to tell the truth and shame the devil. Sincerely yours, T. \V. HICKKTT Raleigh, N. C., July 11. 1911) Law on Child Welfare Commission Holds in Effect July Ist —No Prosecutions for Violations Until After July 15. IMJIII.M IIKAKIX; AUG. li AVI) I) MM.MIMMIOS CAS MODIFY . The State Child Welfare Com mission, composed ex-oflicio or Dr. K. C. Hrooks, I)r. W. S Han kin, and Commissioner H. F. Heasley, held a session late Friday afternoon for the purpose of con sidering questions relating to the Child Labor Law which automat ically went into effect July 1. The Commission had its executive offi cer, Mr. K. F. Carter, on hand July 1, and he has been engaged in making arrangement for the active work which devolves upon the Commission. Sec. 5 of tho Act reads as follows: ' 'Sec. 5. t No child under the age of rourteen years shall be employ ed, or permitted to work, in or about or in connection with any mill, factory, cannery, workshop, manufacturing establishment, laundry, bakery, mercantile es meiit, oflice, hotel, restaurant, barber shop, boot-black stand, public stable, garage, place of amusement, brick yard, lumber yard, or any messenger or de livery service, except in cases and under regulations prescribed by the commission hereinarter created." It will be seen from the con cluding sentence of the last para graph that the Commission is em powered to make exceptions and regulations of a modifying nature. The Commission takes the posi tion that the law wont into eflfact July 1 in all its implications and will remain so unless reasonable cause is shown why the Commis sion should make some modifica tions. In order to be fully ad vised on this matter, tho Commis sion sets August 5 and G for a public hearing to be held in the llall of the House of Representa tives. Any parties who believe that any modifications should be made in tho law in,the discretion of the Commission are invited to be present on that occasion, either in person or by representative, for the purpose of statiug their position. Letters will also be ac cepted by tho Commission from any persons who are not able to be present, and will be given due consideration. Inasmuch as tins Legislature gave some degree of discretion to the Commission, the members take tho position that the public should be heard in be half of any exceptions which may be urged. It specially empha sizes tho fact that the law is in full effect as written unless some inodlflcat : on is made as a result of the public hearing. From letters received by tho Commission, it appears that at least some parties in the State have been expecting some an nouncement regarding modifica tions of the law. The Commis sion therefore is of tho opinion that no prosecutions for violation of tho law, if there be such, should IM* pressed unless occuring after July 15. Hi lit, by which time it is oxpoctpd that this announcement will have fully reached tho public. After that date, any violation of tho law which comes to tho atten tion of tho Commission will have prompt attention. llow'a Thin 9 We otter One Hundred Dollar* K«»ard fur any ca»e of Catarrh thai cannot be cured by llall'a Catarrh Medicine. tin I » Catarrh Medicine haa been takon liy catarrh autferer* for the pant thirty-five voer», and baa lenimf known a» the moil re liable remedy for Catarrh, llall'a Catarrh Medicine acta thru Ihe Blood on the Mttcoua ■urfacea. expellinjt the I'oiaon from the lltood end healing the dlaeaeed portion*.

B *o VTAOJ OTDOTATION m a IRNOLDSM fcmkg&il ORAHAM DRUG Co. Endowment Elon Goes Beyond $300,000. Cor. of The Gleaner. Elon College, July 12.—The special campaign for additional endowment for Elon closed offi cially. on June 30th, bnt belated subscription* from various parts of ihe field have been coming in almost daily ever since and for this reason public announcement of the total of the campaign baa so far been withheld. It was slated at the Administration offi ces this morning that the total subscription has gone beyond ihe $300,000 mark by several thous aud dollars, and this announce ment will bring great joy and satisfaction to the" host of Elon friends and alumni in this and other States. This campaign has been the most successful and at the same time the most spectacular of any that Elon has ever conducted for increased facilities for its plant or endowment. The campaign began 011 Feb. 10th and was pre fuced by a call for twenty addi tional young men who should give themselves to the gospel ministry in preparation here. The whole church was called upon to pray for a week to this end, and then on the 23rd of February the cam paign itself for funds was launch ed. At that time the local chnrch at Elon had subscribed slightly beyond $16,000 for the campaign and the campaign itself had been started in the most distant church of the Elon territory, in Dover, Del. The church in Dover was asked to givo $2,000 and gave $4,- 200, and with that beginning it was seen that the fund was des tined to meet with a hearty re sponse in all sections of the church. The amount asked for was $250,- 000 and each church was assigned a quota based on its membership and its previous record for be nevolences. When the campaign closed on June 30th every church of the two hundred and twenty eight to which Elon ministers had been given opportunity to con tribute to the fund, and practically every one of them gave its full quota, several of them doubling and four quadrupling it. In the drive the largest contri bution by a single church was given by the congregation in Suf folk, Va. The quota was $lB,- 750 for this church and the sub scription totalled $56,600. The pastor of this church is Dr'. W. W. Staley, who was for .eleven years Klon's president, and this ac counts for the generous liberality of that congregation to the fund. The church that made the largest percentage of increase over its quota is located at VVaverly, Va. It gave fonr times its quota and $1,300 above that. The pas tor of this church is Rev. James L. Foster who was for many years the superintendent of the Christ ian Orphanage hero and who led the campaign in his church in a very forceful and successful man ner. The campaign was under the supervision of a Drive Committee consisting of Col. J. E. West, Hon. K. B. Johnson, Dr. R. M. Morrow, and Dr. W. W. Sialey. This committee outlined the plan of the campaign and directed its work. The field men were under the direction of the president of the college and did their work in a most satisfactory manner, with the result as stated above that $300,000 and more has been raised on a quota of $250,000. This money is to be used for strengthening the college intern ally and will add greatly to Elon's facilities to servo her growing constituency.
