THE WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE-
The work of the Legislature was,
as a whole, so unsatisfactory that it
was criticised by some of Us own
members and has been generally crlt
ized by the Democratic press, since
that body adjourned.
The only act of that body which
has met with general approval, was,
as far as we can remember, the act
providing that women should be eli
gible to duty on school committees
and boards of trustees of graded
schools and girls' colleges, and also
on the State Text-Book Commission.
The Charlotte Observer, in an ed
itorial commenting on this act of the
Legislature, which it heads, "Good
Deed; Ugly Face," closes that ed
itorial with the following sentence:
"The Legislature has done a good
thing by the State, even if it was un
gracious and ill-mannered about it."
It is true that the Legislature also
declared in favor of a six months'
i.ublic school term, but no one has
given that body any credit for that
act because it is clear that it was not
done in good faith, inasmuch as the
Legislature di dnot attempt to pro
vide the means for carrying out this
declaration.
On the other hand, the Legislature
was more extravagant and reckless
In creating offices and voting money
that was not in the Treasury, for
purposes less important than the
public schools, than has been any
other Legislature. So reckless was
the Legislature in this respect that
Governor Craig felt called upon to
send a special message to the Leg
islature protesting against extrava
gant and useless appropriation of
money when there was no money in
the treasury.
The State Treasury was bankrupt,
and worse, when the Legislature
met, to the extent of three-quarters
of a million dollars, due to the ex
travagance and incomptency of for
mer Democratic Legislatures. In
stead of the Legislature attempting
to economize so as to run the State
on the taxes that are now collected
from the people, it was more extra
gant than ever before, and to meet
its extravagance voted to issue over a
million dollars worth of bonds to be
a burden on this and future genera
tions. It will take nearly all of this bond
issue to All the big gaping hole that
now exists in a bankrupt public treas
ury. The Legislature knowing that
another deficit' would grow up under
their extravagant policy, as soon as
this hole was filled, then proceeded
to lay a higher tax upon the backs
of the people. The present tax levy
on each poll is $1.29. The Legisla
ture voted to increase this . tax to
$1.43 on each head. The present
rate of taxation on a hundred dol
lars worth of property is 45 cents.
They voted to increase that 47 2-3c
and this in spite of the fact that
only last year the Democratic ma
chine increased the assessed valua
tion of the property of the people of
the State so as to get more taxes
under the present rates. Thus the
people have been doubly taxed, not
only by having the valuation of their
property increased by the last Legis
lature, but now again by having an
increased tax rate levied on that in
creased valuation- This will result
in doubling the taxes of many a poor
man.
Senator Cook, the Chairman of the
Finance Committee, called attention
to the fact that the tax burden of
the State fell upon the poor man and
the man of average means, and that
the tax system should be changed so
as to make the wealthy pay their
fair share of the burden. In this
Senator Cook failed- He was so dis
appointed and felt so outraged at
the action of the Legislature in in
creasing taxes and failing to adjust
them in a proper way, so that corpo
rations and wealthy men would pay
their fair share, that he made a
speech just before the Legislature
adjourned, denouncing its action and
declaring that the corporations and
trusts were in control of the Legis
lature and defeated every effort made
by him and his committee, for fair
and just taxation.
Senator Cook, if no doubt, now
thoroughly convinced that Senator
Simmons placed a mortgage on the
State in favor of monopolies and cor
porations and that the mortgage is
still in full force and effect. Will
Senator Cook and other Democrats
who have at last learned the truth,
vote at the next election to renew
j this mortgage on the State?

vided.
President Wilson, notwithstanding
his want of experience in public af
fairs, is yet a man of keen discern
ment, and, of course, fully compre
hended the situation. Therefore, he
announced Immediately after the
election that he would recognize few
claims of persons who claimed offices
on account of political nervices, and
that not more than one or two men
would be put into the Cabinet for
political reasons and the other would
be for their fitness.
When the Cabinet was announced
it was the general concensus of opin
ion that the one man who was se
lected, not for his fitness, but for his
political services, was Mr. Daniels of
this State.
The Buffalo Express, in an article
reviewing various members of the
Cabinet and their qualifications, when
it reached the Secretary of the Navy,
said:
"But Josephus Daniels, the
Secretary of the Navy, is a joke.
He probably knows as little
about naval administration as
any one'whom Mr. Wilson could
have found."
It is generally recognized, however,
that it was proper for Mr. Wilson to
put at least one man in his Cabinet
for political services, and in doing so
he chose his publicity agent, because
the administration would need a pub
licity agent as much as the party
needed one during the campaign
However, Mr. Daniels does not seem
to understand that he was expected
to be publicity agent for the admin
istration.'' He seems to think that he
was apointed for pre-eminent ability,
and that he is the biggest man in
the Cabinet. We are forced to the
conclusion by the proof which Mr.
Daniels furnishes in his own paper,
the Raleigh News and Observer.
Those who read only that paper
must be convinced, if they believe all
they see in that paper, that the Navy
Department is the most important
department of the Government and
that the present head is the most im
portant man in the whole adminis
tration, though everybody also knows
that the facts as to both are to the
contrary.
We have before us at present two
issues of that paper, one of the 14th
and one of the 15th. In the issue of
the 14th Mr. Daniels is played up in
big head-lines in two places on the
front page, while there is not a ref
erence in the head-lines of that page

member of the Cabinet. Even Mr.
