McFadden. io make state and muni
cipal bonds, subject to taxation have
Qilosedl ' The. hearings were attend
t3 by farmers, bankers, lobor repre
eritatives, wpresentatives of public
utilities, treasury offlceials and others.
It appeared to be almost , the unan
imous ouinion that future issues of
'such securities must be subject to
taxation. jOtherse all federal
sources of revenue will dry up, bus
iness and industry will suffer acute
lv andm-actically the, entire" burden
of taxation will be shifted to incomes
from labor and to real estate
Conserative estimates place the
amount of outstanding tax exempt
securities at $10,000,000,000. Many
reliable authorities say the amount
' is louble this. Newtax exempt se
curities in the sum of $1,000,000
were issued in 1921.
Evil of Tax Exempt Sscuritiet
The evils of tax "exempt securities
issued by states, counties and muni
cipalities are many. They may be
; briefly be set forth as follows:
1st:. The exemption of such prop
ertv from taxation shifts the bur
den of all taxation to real estate and
to incomes from other sources, most
ly income from labor.
2nd. The ease with which these
securities can be issued and market
ed is a constant ajid irrectible temp
tation for extravagance upon the
ppart of municipal, county and state
authorities.
Srd. The fact that capital can in
' vest in such securities and obtain a
tax-free Income of from three to five
!pr cent prevent its being Invested
"in industries, commerce, public util
ities and other enterprises th , in
come from which is taxed.

land who had a cro ' here - several
years ago, has returned and "will put
in a considerable crop this year. Mr.
Willet has leased some of the Han
cock land near town and expects to
raise lettuce, beets, celery and pos
sibly other crops. He thinks the cli
mate and lands around here well ad
apted for these crops. -----The
outlook now is that a large
crop of potatoes will be planted this
year. The farmers have been getting
their lands ready arid just as soon as
the rains stop long' enough for the
ground to dry "out tKey will begin
planting. Many would have- plant

and Tuesday. A dealer , in. seed po-

tion this year. The white potato
business has grown rapidly hereabouts
in the past ten years. In 1913 only
about 5QJarrels of seed were plant
ed, now the business runs up into
the thousands. If conditions are fav
orable 50,000 barrels may ,be raised
and will bring a large sum of money
into the Beaufort section.

SHOOTING OUT Of SEASON.
WASHINGTON.-JIAn offirUl
high in the United States government
declares the conference for the lim
itation of armament to be "the great
est single move ever made in . the
world towrad an end of all war and
the setablisbment of concord among
nations. ' mis unusual tribute is
based upon the list of the accomplish
ments of the conference. It was in
session twelve weeks, and ' within
that period it entered into eight' treat
ies, agreed to ten resolutions and gave
utterance to ten declarations of na
tional policy. Some of these decla
rations were issued jointly by the
powers in attendance and others were
issued by single pow.ers. , . , ;
By the major treaties of the con
ference the five greatest powers of
the world agreed to radical . limita
tion of naval armament and pledged
themselves to a naval holiday, agreed
to abolish the use of poison gas and
other chemical warefare, and to ob
serve, the rules of international law
regarding the use of submarines
Four of these great powers enter
ed into a treaty guaranteeing peace
in the Pacific Ocean region by an
agreement to submit all differences
in the future to a discussion of the
representatives . of the powers con
cerned before taking any. steps look
ing toward actual hostilities. Nine
nowers asrreed to "open door" in the

As a nart of the State program, of
Industrial Rehabilitation , being, con
ducted by the State Department of
Education an industrial class for the
adult blind of the state has recently
been opened at tne new wuson coun
ty Horn Here blind ,men from any
part of the state beyond the age of
which they can enter the State School
for the blind will be taught v such
trades as mattress making, chair can--insr
and basketry, as well as reading
by raised print,; writing and" type
writing. The purpose is to-rehabilia-
te those who have lost their sight
after maturity, and make' them inde
pendent, citizens. - , t ' -
The class has no connection with
the County Home. It is quartered
there because of the excellent acco
modations furnished to the - blind
people. The men live and are taught
in a modern, steam heated ' brick
building, The county is paid for the
use of the room and the board of the
men by the State Department
The class is domg splendid work.
The men who have already enrolled
are very happy and .contented and
making excellent progress As most
of the instruction is necessarily indi-vidualr-only
a small number of men
can. be accomodated, however, there
is still room for a few more men.
This is an exceptional opportunity
for those unfortuhate residents of
our state who have, lost their sight
and because of their misfortune are
unable to earn a livelihood. Those
desiring further information -regard,
ing the school or wishing to enter
shoud inform any County Superinten
dent of Public Welfare or Mr II. L
Stanton, the State Supervisor of In
dustrial Rehabilitation at Raleigh.
Vocational training for the blind
is but one phase of the State Rehab
ilitation work. Men, women and
children of employable age, handicap
ped by various types of ' disability
resulting from accident, disease, or
of cements! nature,, are being aid
ed in their struggle to become inde
pendent, self supporting, and self
respecting citixens, by this Department
