INFORMATION from Washington says the Senate ex
pects to pass tax bill by last of this week. This is the
revised tax plan that is supposed to help business recov

can't tax take a holiday and let the poor devil ? business
? have a little rest.

CHIEF of Police C. E. Pace suggests that the resi
dents of Louisburg who park their cars down street each
day begin to correct this practice by leaving their cars at
home, so they will be used to the new regulations limit- '
ing parkings to one-lialf hour when highway 59 is com
pleted and the streets taken over by the Highway Com
mission for the use of through as well as local traffic. ,
The highway department means business and Louisburg
officials will have to fall in line and enforce such rulings ,
as may be made to keep the streets open for travel.
oOo :
FORMER. Candidate Ralph W., McDonald took a rap
at the State Monday for increasing taxes. Of course no
body likes taxes, nobody wants to pay taxes. And no
doubt everybody would like to find some way to reduce or
eliminate taxes in all forms. But this has got to start
first with the people in their demands on the State for .
service and assistance and the heads of the several de
partments. Taxes can't be lowered until the public and j
the departments decide to ask and expect less of the ,
State government.

NEW PAINTING
THE U. S. government has just had put up an oil
painting of a tobacco sale picture over the entrance
to the Postmaster's private office in the New Postoffice
building lobby. The work looks as of a high order, but
the artists' idea of a real tobacco warehouse sale is eith
er badly off, or he failed to express it in the painting as
it is a most unnatural presentation of a scene that is very
real in the South.

THE FRANKLIN COUNTY
A B.C BOARD
Next week a joint meeting of
the Board of County Commission
ers, tbe Board of Education, and
the Board of Health will elect a
Board to operate tbe Franklin
County ABC Stores. The ABC
Board conducts for the people of i
Franklin County the only private i
business, or business for profit, ,
that the County engages in. A
good business administration of
the ABC Stores means good law
enforcement, the breaking up of '
bootleggers and a tremendous sav
ing to every taxpayer in the Coun- I
?V' ,
There are a number of candi- ,
iates who are seeking appoint- '
tnent on this Board, and being in
terested in the welfare of the peo
ple of our County, and in saving '
noney for our taxpayers, I have
>nough interest to express my ,
jpinion on this vital question,
I feel that the present ABC !
3oard has made a very good re- ]
:ord and believe that they have 1
lone as well as any other Board
n the State. The present Board is 1
nade up of two successful butii
lessmeja an<} jrc successful farm- |
>r. The Board started a brand new
>usiness without the County hav
ng had the benefit' of any past ex- 1
perience in the operation of ABC
Stores. They started without one '
lollar In the bank and without the
iredit of the County to hack them,
ind during their one term of of
ice, the records show that they
have paid into the Treasury of
franklin County, for the benefit
Jf all of its taxpayers, $50,000.00,
ind have also paid for all of the
itock in the ABC Stores, amount
ng to close to $30,000.00. This
has been done without one cent of
coat or expense to the taxpayers
of the County. I believe that
every citizen in the County will
admit that there are less stills and
blind tigers in the County now
lhan when the ABC Board started
operating, and that conditions in
the communities in the County
have improved.
On account of the amount of
business transacted and for the
reason that the ABC business is
operated along business lines sim
ilar to a store or any other private
business, it only seems reasonable
to me that the Chairman of the
Board should be located or always
available at the County seat. The
present ABC Board, by their effic
ient business methods, have been
successful in handling this branch
of the County's business and I feel
that they should have tbe thanks
of the people of the County for
the splendid manner In which they
have handled the ABC Stores. I,
personally, feel that 1 am publicly
expressing the sentiments of the
majority of our citizens.
Public servants who have serv
ed the public well in their first
term of office should be called up
on to continue their good work for
a second term.
I feel that the joint Boards
meeting next week would be ren
dering a distinct public service to
tbe people of our County to reap
point for a second term the pres
ent ABC Board.
Yours for a continuing Better
Government,
C. C. HUDSON.
