It is no secret everybody knows it, and yet nothing is done to correct the evil. A few of our citi zens make honest returns of their property the great majority do not make honest returns and they are the ones most able to pay. Thus the State lays its heaviest hand upon its weakest children. The "robber bill" has been lambasted for fifty years and our political leaders have told, us that no such infamy has been im posed upon any people as this meth od of taxinethe many for th bene fit-of the faw; and yet no tariff how ever unjust orwicked has wrought half the harm and injustice mat tns method of taxation now in vogue in Nmh Carolina has inflicted on the patient people. To be sure, the peo ple are themselves to blame for this inequality. They had the opportun ity to correct the evil in the lamented "taxation amendment" which they huried under an avalance of votes. Since the dear people chose to reject the best means of securing justice m this matter that has ever been offer ed them they are in poor shape to m3kc complaint when the Corporation Comm:?sion adds to their burden and gwes tlem a stone when they ask for bread. The chairman of this able body was largely responsible for the defeat of the amendment and insl-j'id of trving to equalize the burden cf taxation simply, adds from 5 to 30 per cent to the load already so heavy. It is too much to hope that the next legislature will take hold of this tax ation problem in an intelligent way and distribute the burden more ouallv. Our lawmakers are afraid of j the question of taxation. It isa wavs loaded. It 13 sore subject. But f we could only assamble a body of lct'isf&tors who do not care a copper whciljer they eversee Raleigh again or not, - they could perform a service for the State that would make them ous business makes a return of $15. 000 on its property. Another with about the same capital makes a re turn of $45,000. Such an inequality should never be permitted to exist and the addition of 15 per cent on the tax ot levy of each, does not touch the trouble at all. We must adopt an honester method of rais ing our revenue. SANATORIUM SUPPLIES TUBERCULIN Another Progressive Step Taken by State Sanatorium. Bulletin State Board of Health. Sanatorium, N. C, Arrangements have just Wen completed whereby the State Sanatorium, Sanatorium, N. C, will be able to furnish free of charge," to any physician in the State a sufficient amount of tuber culin for the Van Pirquet diagnos tic test for tuberculosis. The tuber culin will be kept in capillary tubes, each tube t hold enough for one test, and will be sent by mail, one cr more at a time, to any physician in the State who will report to the Sanatorium, within a week, the re sults of the test. Complete direc tions for making the test will be sent with each tube. This test for the presence of tuberculosis is also call ed the skin test and is done much like vaccination or . smallpox, except it causes no sore on the arm. To supply the physicians of the State with this tuberculin, free of all cost, is another effort on the part of the State Sanatorium to help physicians at this paticular and important point to make early diag nosis of tuberculosis. The people themselves, however, are thp real beneficiaries, especially those suf fering from the disease and those directly exposed to such sufferers. Locating the Trouble When one is suffering from hack- ache, rheumatism, lumbago, bilious ness, sharp pains, sore muscles, and "stiff joints it is not always easv to locate the source of trouble, but ninV times out of ten it can be traced t-- overworked, weakened or disease I kidneys.
