The Open Forum SENATOR INGRAM EXPLAINS • INSTALLMENT TAX PLAN Editor Courier: Will you kindly publish the follow ing letter. On March 31, 1933, I received from the clerk to the Board of Com missioners of the Town of Asheboro a letter and enclosed with same was a copy of a Resolution adopted jointly by the Board of Commissioners of the Town of Asheboro, and the Asheboro City School Board. The Resolution was censuring me very sharply for bringing about the enactment of a law, as a member of the Legislature, which makes it pos-i sible for the poor, oppressed and fi nancially unfortunate people of this county to pay their 1932 taxes in ten installments, of ten per cent per month, beginning in the month of April, 1933. The Resolution not only censured me for the enactment of the law, but called upon me to repeal same, or take the Town of Asheboro from under the provisions of it. I immediately answered the letter and requested information which would have been relative to the res olution, and as of this date I have re ceived no answer to my letter. Therefore, not having heard any thing further from my letter and wishing to make myself understood by the people of Randolph county, and especially the people of the Town of Asheboro, on this matter, I will say the following: When I announced my candidacy last summer for State Senator, I then pledged myself to the people to do my utmost, in whatever way seemed prac ticable, to try to relieve the poor and oppressed tax payers of the state and more particularly Randolph county, and save their homes from tax sales and foreclosures if possible. With this thought and pledge I have so direct ed my energy while in Raleigh. The party or parties most interest ed and opposed to the law allowing the people of Randolph county and the Town of Asheboro to pay their taxes in ten monthly installments seem_to be a few of the wealthy and better fixed people of Asheboro, who do not have to worry about their prop erty being sold for taxes, but on the other hand, they seem to be afraid the price of some of the county and city bonds they are probably holding might be affected, and their attitude appears to be, that it would be better for people’s homes and other property i to be sold rather than for their bonds and or securities to decrease a little in value, because of an installment payment of taxes. For the information of the bond j holders as well as the tax payers, the | law was enacted in sincerity, in an ef j fort to provide ways and means for j a large number of the people who truly wanted to pay their taxes but could not pay in full. In passing the law I had in mind the welfare of the greater mass of the people and not just a small num ber who have the money to pay their taxes, and to buy bonds with too, (bonds probably bought at a big dis count, of 20 to 40 per cent which they expect the county to pay one hundred cents on the dollar.) No facts or information has been presented to me so far that would cause me to change my attitude in the matter and I cannot see any rea son at this time to repeal this law. HENRY L. INGRAM, April 10th, 1933. OPPOSES SALES TAX Editor Courier: Will you kindly publish this editor ial from the Henderson Daily Dis patch. It is hoped by the-merchants and laboring people of Randolph county that they will give the matter serious consideration and bitterly op pose this sales tax. The time has come when we need your suport in this fight. Let’s do something about this and do it now before it is too late. J. T. KING. THEN THEY’LL REMEMBER Just why legislators persist in turn ing a deaf ear to the cries of the people of North Carolina against the imposition of a general sales tax is perhaps best known to them. But the people will not forget the men who are responsible far this imposition, and will have something more than a year in which to weary and suffer be f ore- another primary election is held. But it is then that they will remem ber. And the next General Assembly wall probably have ,a good many new faces in it. The sales tax fight will not be end ed when fiie legislature passes the hill and adjourns. It will be kept up, ami with file nuisance, the cost and the crushing burden it will impose it will be forever before Mr. John Cit lixen. With him it will be a fight to [tha finish. Commenting on this [ phase of the question, the Hickory {Dally Record says: “The legislature of North Carolina may b* flattened eat by Ore big, po litical steam roller whidfit fs manned by the Raleigh bureaucrats, there will still be plenty of fight left through out the state to haunt and harass them throughout the days that are to follow. “It is now asserted that the sales tax will be collected by selling stamps which must be affixed to all purchas es. “Well and good. ' Every time a stamp is Ticked we shall be reminded of the sort of relief which our legis lature gave us in the carrying out of their election promises. “Catawba county which will be pay ing three dollars for every dollar of ad valorem tax removed by the repeal of the fifteen cent levy will have a particularly heavy, additional burden for which someone should have full credit. “The thousands of merchants of a great state, already struggling for existence, and just beginning to have hopes of an approaching dawn, will have special reason to remember the 1933 members of the General Assem bly. “The hundreds of thousands of un | derpaid laboring people, upon whom the load will fall heaviest, will have cause to remember these legislators as they affix the sales tax stamps to their loaves of bread and take the extra pennies out of the mouths of their already undernourished fami lies. “The farmer, in whose good name this crime is being committed, will have cause to be very thankful to his representatives who have pulled the old political trick of promising him the earth, taking him for a buggy ride and then making him walk home. For the rural dweller, except in the case of the very large land owners, is going to pay much more in sales tax than was collected from him under the ad valorem levy. “The willful solons who refuse to vote for drastic economies, but pre fer to override the mandate of a des perate people, may be able to tell the public to ‘go to’ just at this time—but it is a -wise politician who looks into the future and visualizes What the future reaction is going to be.” COMMENDS INGRAM’S FIGHT TO AMEND GAME LAWS Editor of The Courier: In reading the News and Observer and Raleigh Times last week, I no ticed the following news items which are of vital interest to the people of Randolph county: “No member of the present Gen eral Assembly has worked harder on any measure than has Senator In gram, of Randolph, on his bills to amend the State game laws and abolish the office of State Game Warden. “The Randolph Senator was re warded Tuesday when both his bills overcame all hurdles and passed the Senate. He will continue to work for successful negotiation of the House in order that the measures may become law.” This quotation from the News and Observer shows that in Henry Ingram we have a representative who is a fighter and one of influence in his Senate body, and bears out the fact that if the every day people want to be truly represented they made no mistake by selecting a man from, their own walk of life who knows and understands their troubles and hard ships. The following is a quotation from the Raleigh Times: “Passage of the bill to abolish the game wardens marks the culmination of stubborn efforts to that end by Senator Henry L. Ingram, of Ran dolph. “Under that bill which once was tabled, duties of the abolished of fices would be consolidated under one man wrho would get a maximum an nual salary of $3,000. “A second game bill passed by the upper House provides that 28 coun ties should charge no county hunting license where the hunter, a resident of the county, is accompanied by or has written permission of the person on whose land he hunts.” I understand the bill to abolish the offices of State Game Warden, Com missioner of Inland Fisheries, and place all their duties on one man, will save around $16,000 per year. Senator Ingram has had a hard fight getting these bills passed in the Senate and they must now be passed by the House before they be come law. If you want these hills passed you should write your representative, N. C. English, to do everything he can to get them passed by the House of Representatives of which body he is a member. April 12, 1933. Editor’s note: The following clip ping in Wednesday’s News and Obser ver gives the latest news on the Game Warden bill: "The Senate bill introduced by Sen ator Ingram to abolish the State Game Warden and district wardens was taken from the House calendar and sent back to the committee on game Monday- upon motion of Repre sentative W.

G. S. SUGG, Thit’s Fair, y Ffcrm Census Surreys Prove Of Great Value To Farmers Of State These Surreys Furnish Ready, Reliable Facts On Which To Base Relief Work. In relation to the new Federal Farm Relief Act, North Carolina counties are fortunate. This is due to the yearly farm census surveys made by each county. Thus, this State is the best prepared in the South, with ready and reliable county crop and livestock facts, on which to base relief work. Just back from a three weeks trip from Cherokee and Currituck coun ties, and based on conferences in half the counties of North Carolina, Mr. Frank Parker, Federal-State Agricul tural Statistician, reports a fine atti tude toward this farm survey work. “The township tax listers are better informed and are more interested in securing the crop reports from farm ers than ever before. The farmers are also increasingly better in these respects,” said he. “Last year’s farm survey averaged 86 per cent of all crop land being re ported. It represented more than 200,000 farmers. The 1933 results are expected to be more than 90 per cent complete. Of course, those coun ties having the best farm census sur veys are obtaining the most benefits in the form of diagnosis of weak and strong crop and livestock features. Such inventory facts provide much help, just as they do in business man agement.” reported Mr. Parker. The county information issued in the Farm Forecaster, published by the Department of Agriculture, has be come recognized as the official basis for studying and remedying the farm ing practices. Then, too, each county is kept informed of what each other county is doing. Said Mr. Parker: “The idea that this information is for speculators to set the prices of farm products, is badly misunderstood. These reports are not completed until after the crops are sold. The 1932 in formation was completed in January, 19331 Then, too, crop acreages are not speculative information. On the other hand, many valuable and help ful aids are available to the farm leaders for the benefit of the farmers themselves.” “The Department’s educational fol der on “How Farm Surveys Help Farmers” should be read by every land owner in North Carolina,” em phasized he. “It is the individual farm er who needs awakening to this busi ness or economic side of farming.” MT. SHEPHERD NEWS Asheboro, route 2, April 10.—Virgil Hill is expecting to arrive home to day with a car of mules and horses from Georgia.

NEW POST-OFFICE PENS OPPOSED There can be such a thing as too much perfection in the Washington government, complains W. H. H. in the Albany Knickerbocker Press. The latest word from Washington1 is that Postmaster-General Farley is going to see that we all have decent pens with which to write in the post- j offices. After all these years of get ttnjf accustomed to WoWy, am teeing • P«Hs, Mr. Farley ia going to take them away from ua. They »ero food enough for our grandlfcthero and our fathers, and they are good enough for us. If this nation grow groat and powerful on had pens tm post offices,, why change things? What is Mr. Farley trying to do? Make us a nation of softies ? Why, the post-office won't seem liker the’ same oJd place. Nothing to complain about. We go inside, dip a pen in ink and 'get all ready for the same' oH growl, “This pen is terri ble;’' and'then we' find it writing nice > and smooth. It’s disillusioning, that* what it Is’f And if makes things too easy for the postal clerics who have to read the addressee. If all of them were written in clear, black line, these boys will go soft also. This is a world of change, and never so much as right' now. But please, Mr. Parley, Itave us one memento of' the post-oftiee as we have always known it. Don’t keep the writing ta bles supplied with new, cl^m blot ters. We have become so used to the dear, dirty old rags that we just couldn’t stand it [SATISFACTION TN E'VEKY TRAffSA CTIOn] SAVE MONET BY TRADING AT THE MMM System Store & Market Central Food Store and Pure Food Store Oar stock of everything good'tb eat is complete and prices are low.
