It may be legal but certainly not j proper for a Judge to hold an outside j position while holding his commission as Judge-. Nobody has volunteered as yet to j publicly assume the responsibility | for drafting the bill _that Increased.' the salary of Franklin County offices. The people would like to know. What's the use for Mr. Bailey and | Mr. Branson arguing the question "ts [ North Carolina a Rich Stater1 It makes no difference whether it is or f not none of us would trade it for any | of the others. . , Wby not amend the charter of the j^misburg Graded School so that the : members of the Board of Trustees ! may be elected and do away with the ! -self perpetuation of the Board. It J would cost less than fifty dollars a ' Tear to hold the. election and would.; besides ' being more Democratic, be a ; 1? wav more satisfactory. Let all j who are in favor of such a change in- ? form their representatives at once. } II is to. be hoped that our legisla tnn will ? prnviria a law whereby the CoiMity can -take over the maintenan- ; ce of roads as a conpfv imfr T!n miff" thft 191? law will npen The way hi,if that, provides for building too. We,1 think the townships should be allow ed t^rio their own building, especial ly since several of the townships have projects under way. Lets prepare to take care of the roads after they have been built. President -elect Harding has evi dently struck a pnag in his own pur ty in the selection of A. \V. Meflon for the Secretary of the Treasurer, as Congress has been dealing out some very severe criticisms of him. ?lt seeifis that he was one or the owners of a- big. Jjsteel Corporation who took a contract to deliver carriages for big guns at the outbreak of the war and had delivered only one at the end of the war, and as soon as the war was over the Company begun to deliver them by the wholesale. If this is true he will be an ideal (?) official. Charles E. Hughes has been selected aa Secretary of State. Judging from the reports published some time ago the salary fund of Franklin County should be quite a neat sized one. Of course the credit for all the itemR that were paicf the officers as foes should be credited to the salary fund, but these same cred- 1 Its should be take?? from the sources of origination and put In the salary I fund. For instance the Taw provides a commission of five per cent on the first fifty thousand dollars and two and one-half per cent on all the bal ance of taxes collected by the sheriff. These commissions should be charg ed up and taken from tne1 several dif ferent funds and put to Jhe credit of the salary fund. And the same prin ciple should apply to all the other of fices. This would create a fund pos sibly sufficient to pay the salaries at any rate it would relieve the General Purpose fund of that much burden. If such Is not already done. Anyway It would be well for the Commissioners to Investigate and be sure that it is. In that case each different district or section would bear Its proportion al cost of government. o ' Wei can't agree with Mr. Alston tn his fears for the future of the Deiwv cratlc party on account of Its stand on revaluation . Our understanding of Democracy la that It stands for a square deal to everybody. And now It It la to be condemned because It Is j requiring the people rno have the | property to pay the taJL Instead of those who are ucK'abL* own the [property we think It would be an ho [ uur that every true Democrat would I take pleasure in assuming. There is | at least two thousand tax payers in Franklin Cewrty who own no laud at : all and we believe almost three thou ! sand who owwrtTTO than three huad i red acres each. Does ?>ne con tend fm a mument tliat :?H' little pro perty they have shou?il pay twice or three times as much tax as the land owned by a few? We do think, how : ever, that every cf^en should have to pay some tax as we relieve that it creates an interest in the government that nothing else will, to which* end ?? hill hup been introduced. In the GfH eral Assembly reducing the property exemptions to $100 Instead of >300. Talk about land ruMns valued too hi gh. Why land Is sold under foreclo sure proceedings alnwst weekly at around S100 per acre and th?? avprign valuation for taxation is only about We may m wrong, but If we am? any judge, the Deq^ocratlc party is standing firm beside oT the people ?yhn nra not able to defend themsel "YWftna righting their battles for Jus tice and we uon't Relieve a Democrat ic Legislature is going to pot it on the i olbor nirt* pf thu fmii-u _ ~ HEARIX; HE FORK ("OSOTITTEE. Mr. Editor: ? I do nof~ wish to mo nopolize your columns, but . I have been requested to give a more detail ed report of our meeting with the Joint finance committee to present the revaluation subject. After the mass meeting was held here on Jan. 29, and I was appointed Secretary to the committee that was to go to Raleigh. _ J wrote to Senator F. B. McKlnne ancTlisked him to make arrangements for an appoint ment for our committee to meet with the joint committer of the House and Senate. Tuesday. Feb. 8th had al ready been set apart as a date for a joint meeting of the Finance Com mittee to consider this subject and it was arranged for us to go on that date. When we got there it develop ed that the Farmers Alliance was th ere in great numher s from" all over the Btate and .under the leadership of Mr. J. W. Bailey, had arranged a program to consume all; 'of the time before the committee for that day Senator McKlnne. seeing the situati on. conferred with Mr. Doughton, acting chairman of the joint commit tee, and got him to agree to recog nize our committee first, as soon as ih? ?us culled tu uidcr/-sng~ in tins wiky we were enabled to pre sent our views before the Farmers Alliance got control of the floof. Bur for this shrewd arrangement on the part of M^k'lr>r"' ir ln rfn.ihi ful that we could have gotten in a single word. Senator McKlnne showed us oyer? courtesy, handled the situation mag nificently, and as&ured _us that he would uvV.ill httt influence tu procure the things asked fpr thf ? resoln. tions to 'bring about a substantial re dUlllOU in IkYm mna valuatlonsj etc. Respectfully submitted.

C. dear Editor: I notice that there is some talk of abolishing the P'.;Mie Welfare office r.i Franklin County. I want to say frankly that tUis ought not to he done. Had it not been for that office to day there would have been a little rr.ound of earth and underneath would ' be the remains of the man that wrote this. Hack in July, 1920. I was sick and down with tuberculosis. I toad no money, of "course my friends pave me a lot but money was not the thm# that, counted. I could get no where to take treatment, my health was fail ing fast. As soon as Mr. Jones. Su perintendent of Public Welfare, heard I was unable to get in a sanitocium he tfent to work and was succei&ful after many trials in getting me a plare and today I am gaining back strong and In a few more months I will be myself again. \ And I repeat again had it not been for the start that the Public Welfare gave me I should not be here now Through the coiirtesy of the Public ? Welfare ofTice, the l>ouistiurg Red ! Cross 'chapter become acquainted I with my case and they are now help ing me get well by paying for my (treatment here in the North Carolina Is'anitorium therefore I cannot say ! enough for the Public Welfare and (the Red Cross as they have made it 'possible for me to live. | So please carry the banner high for .the Public Welfare and the American Red Cross. I am always thankful to them . J K. BREWKK. San I tor iu m. N. C. A Real Helpmeets Neighbor (bear- 1 or of message, breathlessly) ? "You're wanted at *ome, Charlie.

The Club held its regular "feed" a few days ago with a full membership of thirteen present. At this feed all the fellows enjoyed the presence of Dean Noble, an olri "inhabitant ? ot. Franklin County. He told us more history about the county than we thought was in the whole state. He is a regular fellow and we like to huve him around. At the "feed" the Members discussed various problems which the county and the University were interested. Higher education was the main. topic and it was decid- : ed to write our representatives Jn .
