ANSWERS QUESTIONS (Continued from Pace One) cooperate on any program that will give promise to relieving the present situation, which, I believe. If not soon relieved, will bring bankruptcy to agriculture in North Carolilna. Your second question, "Fores try," is not ?o clear To me. I be lieve forestry in a general way needs attention, but when you realise that timber at stumpage today is selling for very little more than il did in TOOO with the cost of finished timber three to six times as high, I see little in this effort except to help big in terests pile up huge profits. Again it is a means of allowing big land holdings to escape taxes by not developing their lands. There are many Cases where a small land holder on one side of a road is burdened with high tax values while big holdings on the other side of tibe same road bas exceed ingly small values because in the first instance the party is pro gressive and improves his prop erty, while in the latter the hol ders allow their property to "go hang." The principle is wrong. It produces a penalty on progress and a prize for shiftlessness. Tour third question "Farmer Representation" hits my idea ex actly if given a little more lib eral meaning. I think we are get ting a little too highly centraliz ed and specialized. For instance, the legislative halls are used too often by young lawyers as step ping stones to higher positions rather than immediate benefits lo the public, which idea seems to be working out too much in practice. Also, farmers are being told too much by experts, who rely on theory, how to carry on. not only in planting, but execu tive and living conditions. There seems to be a serious "shortage" of coordination of the several de partments. There ure entirely too many requirements of certain standards for certain positions. A college education does not supply ability. It may help develop it when the foundation is there, but to say one who is qualified from the standpoint of experience and ability cannot hold a position just because he does not' hold certain college degrees or certain tech nical training is foolish and en tirely unAmerican and unfair and I am opposed to it. Let's have farmer and labor representation, not as organized membership, but as citizens with the interest of the State at hearth Tbis specialized college training is denying oppor tunity to the eighty per cent or more who are not in position to get the higher training. Now as to your fourth ques tion, "Reduce Tax Rate on Own er Occupied Farms and Homes." I am very much in favor of a sys tem that will take the premium or penalty off progress and a sys tem that will bring about fairness to Individuals. A law that only allows an exemption on the val ues of homes or farms occupied by the owners, I do not think will do this. In fact 1 know it will mean higher taxes for all proper ty. The exemption in most cases will not be sufficient to relieve the increased rate and later in creased values, placed to offset the loss occasioned by the exemp tion. I am with you for permanent results. In my holiest opinion there is at least' 75 per cent of the property in North Carolina off the tax lists, which places the burden of government on the 25 per cent or less that is available. Whenever North Carolina repeals the exemptions on religious, edu cational and fraternal properties, save for that actually used as the institution in question, and not held as property for other pur poses or excuses, and doing away with tax exempt stocks, bonds, notes, public and other property off the tax lists, then and then only will a fair tax be imposed on all citizens and holders of property. If the system is to be changed other than above it should provide an arbitrary tax value for all homes of a certain size, not value, that cannot be Changed, and allow any or all im provements desired, pertaining to the home, without the possibility of its being taxed away from tile owner, as at' present. - Now in keeping with your third and fourth questions I think a big adjustment should be made In the educational funds of the State in that the money should be more equally divided. There is am now one Woman Lost 20 Pounds off FAT Lout Her Prominent Hips Uwt Her Double Chin Lost Her Sluggishness Gained a More Shapely Figure ind the Increase in Physical Vigor and Vivariousneas Which So Often Comes With Excess Fat Keduction. . Thousands of women are getting fat and losing their appeal just be caufce they do not know what to do. Why not be smart ? do what thousands of women have done to get off pounds of unwanted fat. Take a half teaspoonful of Kruachen in a glass of hot water first thing every morning to gently activate liver, bowels and kidney* ? cut down your caloric intake ? eat wisely and Mtiafylngly? there need never be a hungry moment! Keep this plan up for 30 days. Then weigh yourself and see if you haven't lost pounds of ugly fat Just see if this doean't prove to be the surprise of your life and make yon feel like shouting the good news to other fat people. And best of all a jar of Kruschen that will last you for 4 weeks costs but little. If not ?tnfl?d mmn hardly 20 per cent of the children of (-he State that ever get oppor tunity to attend schools of higher education and at least 60 per cent of these are able to pay their own way. To my way of thinking a larger percentage of the educa tional funds should go to the pub lic schdols thereby providing a better educational opportunity for the 80 per cent who cannot at tend the Colleges and Universi ties. The State a few years ago adopted the free text books res ponsibility. but today the rentals and fees for supplemental re quirements amounts to a large per cent of the original school book costS, which has served to break the confidence of the pub lic in the sincerity of t I ROOMS FOR RENT ?
