SOME CONCLUSIONS AS INEVIT
ABLE AS UNPLEASANT.
The possibility is racognized Ihav the ofticiiil county may disclose a
slight majority for the amendments-evi‘!i that relating- to taxation
Should it termincte that way, we shall be very triad, as wc- fe=t sure it
'vould be best far the State. But in this respect we shall only feel mildly
ii.terested in subsequent events. There i:. no longer anything vifc,»l in oar
^ini.'eni. Our interest is iicadomic rat!>cr than avid.
U is the sociuloffical, rather than the poliUca! a.spect of this contest in
i.ihalf of the amenimeiits, that has left us confounded. The people have
,i‘ own little concern in mauers of immediate concern to the people. Pop
ular g-overnment has seemed to fail at a point where it should not have
f.nicd. Obviously the protagonists of the amendments could not have been
iiiili.enced iu their activity hy ulterio.':nativos. It is equally obvious that
hiuwreds of the most thoughtful men ;i. the Stsile. men capable of think-
mg deeply and soundly, would not h'l e ui Ked upon the people a number
of measures which would have militate,; asainst their best interests. By
their indifference the people have said they do not care what sort of teb-
els the Confederate soJdiers are callet'.. or how they are^ designated.
Thousands of people have -sjid hy their indifference that they do not care
whether the future eitizcns of the State are better educated or
ThJ..;sands of voters have said by their adverse votes, or thsir failure
to vote at all, that they do not care hc-w members of the Legislature
spend their time in Ra'eiftb, or how nuvcii they are paid for that time.
Thousands ef voters have said by theJr indifference that the work of the
carpet-bag Legislature, ratified by nejrro votes, is good enough for them.
The people were assured by a hi-nttred responsible nevjspapcrr. and a
hundred good and responsible men, that the advocates of the taxation
amendment were not seeking to incroa::e taxes> but to secure a justcr sys-
ten. of taxation. A few slick politicians and a few newspapers whisper
it about that taxes were to be increased, and it was this whisper that
ground lodgment in the public mind. It was considered a fine thing when
* the Strte Eiess Association went on record last summer at Wrightsville
as favoring the amendment.s. Only one or two publishers were opposed to
ihe proposal at the time. The Clinton News Dispatch is the only one
we recall at the moment. That papfit l»as apparently exerted a greater in
fluence than ail the rest of the State press. Two Republican weekly pa
pers opposed the amendments on the ground that they were vO be regard-
f^d ai a Democratic scheme to raise tnxe.'; and to pull the Denjocrals out
of a hole. S. t.. Travis, of the corporation commission, lined up with these
two RepubUcan papers—that fraction oi’ the press that had impeached
his party. Up to this point there was nothing particularly surprising ia
the developments but thousands o? Democrats have said by their votes that
Travis was right in rauging himself cn the side of the two Republican pa-
interested persons, asked the people at the poi!.': to support thelrf
amendments, handed out nhc tickets and pointed out the ballot box, tncj
ceived an .ilmost -solid vote. In other .sectioiis wh;*; e the Icjiders
