HOC TUB IVFAMOUS FREIGHT RATE ABUSE. Everybody knows that for years the railroads in this State have dis criminated most outrageously against the people and the industries of this Commonwealth, from one end to an other. The freight rates which the rail roads charge in Virginia, South Car olina, Tennessee, and other adjoin ing 8tates, are certainly high enough, yet the railroads have charged high er rates in North Carolina than any of theee States, and to such an ex tent that it has been charged by hun dreds of intelligent men, from the Chief Justice down, that such dls crlmliatlon amounted to from twelve to fifteen million dollars' robbery a year. During all of these years of such outrageous discrimination there has been no serious or intelligent effort made by the State Railroad Commis sion of North Carolina, or by the Governor, to correct these abuses. The protests from merchant, man ufacturers and from the people gen erally grew so large while the last Legislature was in session that that body felt called upon to appoint a Commission to negotiate with the railroads to try to get some relief. The railroads have just spurned the appeals of the Governor and the Commission, appointed by the Leg islature, by refusing to offer any material reductions. The Governor of the State has just issued a state ment expressing his surprise and dis appointment at the action of the rail roads. A number of the Democratic newspapers of the State have ex pressed surprise and disappointment. It may be that the Governor and these newspapers have just waked up to the fact that Senator Simmons mortgaged the State, a number of years ago, to the railroads and the trusts in North Carolina. The terms of the mortgage pro vides that we shall be robbed and discriminated against to the com plete pleasure of the railroads and trusts and that as long as the Demo cratic party is in power they should not be disturbed in their robbery. In this connection it should be re membered that Governor Craig was Senator Simmons' candidate for Gov ernor, and therefore, it. would be well to look with some suspicion upon his present declaration of indignation against the railroads. WHY NOT ALL It E VENUE BY IN COME TAX? The Democrats have always de clared that the income tax is the fair est tax in the world, and on the other hand, they have always de clared that the tariff was the most vicious tax. Indeed, they have de clared that tariff protection was rob bery and unconstitutional. Now since the Democrats have an oppor tunity to pass an income tax law, to be consistent, they should raise all of the revenue from the income tax and abolish all revenue tariff taxes of every kind. As unwise as we think such a course would be, a little more un wise, indeed, than the present Dem ocratic tariff bill, yet, since the Dem ocrats have accidentally gotten the power, why should not they have the courage of their ignorant platitude?

Presumably the object of the investigation is to see if the civil service rules have been properly en forced. But wait and see if the real object of the investigation isn't to throw every Republican out of office that can possibly be removed on any pretext in order that their places may be filled from the great army of Democratic office-seekers. per has been hollerinir for stat. toni oral an "Piritual law. contrary piu, , to the laws laid down by the Creator.

Sharpless. about race hatred toward the negro race, but nobody in the South has ever objected to the negro owning or leasing land, indeed, it has been the policy of the Southern people to ' encourage them to buy and lease I land in the hope that it would make them better citizens. j Therefore, it is hard for the peo- I pie of the South, even to understand the cause for the depth and extent , of the race feeling against the Jap anese in the West. It may be the fear of industrial supremacy of the Japanese, an element of danger which the South has never had to fear from the negro. Whatever the real cause of the race hatred may be, yet the fact that it has opened such a field for cheap politicians and the demagogue to play on race hatred, in order to di vert attention from economic ques tions, will, no doubt, appeal strong ly to Secretary Daniels to, at once, use the navy to import the Japs Into North Carolina and the South. This would give a new cause for appeal ing to race hatred in that section where the negro question has al ready played out. Just think how useful it would be to stir up race hatred against the j Japs to call attention from high taxes, big bond Issues, poor public schools, high freight rates and all broken Democratic promises?
