PENSION MEETING DRAWS THRONG i - (Continued From Page One) ploy, the merchants, material men{ and farmers from whom they would | purchase their requirements. | Third—The benefits to the people to whom these people would pay the money received for sucn require ments. And so on in a never ending cycle, i Money once released into the chan nels of trade will turn over from five to ten times per month ana often much more. But call it five times tel be con servative, and the money released in Transylvania county, with its multi plied turnover would amount to at least six hundred thousand dollars per month—more thart twenty thou sand dollars per day. Imagine, if you can, "hat ‘hat amount of money released in Tran sylvania county would do for every body in the county. What would it do for the honest, hard working laboring man, who really wants to work and provide for his family, but has no job. What it would mean toi the farm ers and business interests of tne county? . What it would mean to the real estate business of the county. What it would mean to the bank clearings, and building and loan business and to the insurance busi ness. What it would mean to the mer chants.' What it would mean to the gen eral prosperity of the county when our summer visitors come. Bear in mind that they will come, as they have never come before—m far greater numbers than we have ever km \vn, and, last but not least, ' they will have money to spend as they have never had before. There will be a demand for cot tages and home sites such as we have never known, and the buyers will be able to pay for what they want. Similar benefits will come to the whole of Western North Carolina, and in a measure to every farm home, hamlit, village, town and city in the entire United States. Think it over. It’s a great big proposition. Now as to the source from which the nutfiey with which to pay this pension is to be derived. It js proposed to levy a transac tion tax for thi- purpose, large enough to furnish the money. This dees nut mean merely a retail tax ut such articles as you purchase from your neighborhood store, such as food, clothing and su forth. But a tax on big transactions as well, such as the sale of stocks, bci' i ,securities, real estate and so forth. . I believe a great portion «f it would be collected Ciom Stock, bond and security sales from and through ueh institutions as the New xorK Stock Exchange, the Chicago gram pit, the cotton exchange or New Orica $ and many other such mstitu tiors which might be n ® ® “ throughout the length and breadth of our land. . Real estate sales, which would in crease at a wonderful rate, would bear their share of it. Insurance policies w o u I d, no doubt, come in for their share of it. When such transactions come m for their share if the tax. and the unneeded processing taxes have been taken off, as there would be no fur her need for them, it is my convic tion that the cost of living would not be materially increased and in fact might be decreased. 1 Think it over ami add your names to the long list of those who have thought it over and have signed tne j petitions. „ J M.
