TUESDAT. DECEMBER 31, 1912. REGTN THE NEW XEAB RIGHT. i The present :year " wiir pass into nnicrv nt midnlflrht and a iiurtvijr - new year, with its hopes and its prob lems and its sunshine and shadows will begin. A new leaf clean and white will receive the records for the coming days and weeks and months. The Chronicle does not set any great j store by New Year's resolutions, but fA heirinnim? of a new lap . in the century is no doubt a good time to be gin being a litUe broader and better, a good time to forgive and1 forget and to begin improving one's self. Young mon and voune women especially should take stock of themselves and J get a grip upon themselves. Much de pends upon the young people. In their hands rests the destiny of the city, the State and the Nation. Among the determinations and res- .lnMnnq f rir the New Year Include these: To be cleanly in person and neat ahd tidy In the matter of apparel. To be clean in speech and pure in thoueht. To be charitable and broad-minded thnsA with whom you do not a-nfl oven toward those who would injure you. To remember that every other per- n ha. tVt name civic and 'other rights that you have. To be a real citizen of your com ..ranntty. If you are a voter and a tax payer assume . the responsibilities of citizenship and take your- part, in the discussions and the movements that are calculated to improve the condi tions about you and your neighbors. To be honest with yourself and with others rBe firm for Justice and law. and -right and take a man's stand against that 'which is wrong. To . do yourself Justice by, keeping ' your -better self in the ascendency, remembering that character is great er than wealth. '. f LEGISLATIVE PROBLEMS. The approaching meeting of the State Legislature will have some very Important subjects to ' consider. Among others, there should be some definite plan of co-operation between the State and counties, and even the tfflrtisMnS. rm tha auh1e nf rnada. The State should do something to en courage road building wherever a township or county is willing, to do their part. Another very important subject Is the equalisation of .taxation over the State, and the elimination . of pauper counties. ' Another subject Is the proper division of taxation be tween the growing cities of the State and the copnties In which they are situated.' ? SAVINGS CLUB. s ' The moderh habit of forming clubs to stimulate interest in a special sub ject seems admirable. . The Boys Corn Clubs and the : Girls' : Tomato Clubs and many others have undoubt edly ddne good work in the advance ment of practical economic education." 'Apparently the newest club is the CThTistmas Savings j Club. This is for the purpose of accumulating 'a fund to be spent in Christmas- cheer and hospitality. The purpose Is' a good one and the means of carrying it out, If Well developedwould be excellent. In England there are many vacation clubs' which accumulate a fund to be spent for holiday, cheer and recrea tion. ' . ' i : The musio-lovingf public of Charlotte- and this section will have the Opportunity tonight of hearing" the arreatest violinist who hast pvor wiiiad 'tk bow ; across the strings of a deli cately attuned instrument in Char lotte. The concert to be given at the Charlotte Auditorium by Ysaye as sisted by Mme. Ollzka, the well-known OElussian contralto will be one of the outstanding musical events of the sea son here and indeed one of the most notable musical events the city has ever had . the "privilege ; of i enjoying. To the credit.; of Charlotte and the nearby cities and ( towns it may be said that the sale of seats for the per formance has been very satisfactory. The next two months will be , the hardest of the.

Char-j lOtte is wasting many thousands yt dollars a. year' n the duplication of work and through the lack or co-operation, to say nothltfg of the exceed lngrly low efficiency of the street de partment .'and some other depart ments of the citv srovernment. -' The tax-payers of the city lack 25 per cent or more of g-etting- their money's Worth under the Dresent system of. government," not through the careless ness W lack of ability In any public official possibly, but through the : an cient and crude system of govern mental machinery we use. The Piedmont and Northern Lines are located and in course of con struction , between Charlotte and Greenwood, S. C. When the gaps are filled and the lines in full operation between these points,-extensions will be sure to come.' Probably among the early extensions will be one . from Greenwood, S. C, to Augusta, Ga. This could be done by way of SaJuda, Edgefield and the Horse Creek valley. which would connect the spinning and weaving district , of tne Horse ureeK valley and the Piedmont region, and conduce much to the social and, com- mercial intercourse of the textile op eratives of the two sections.- Relieved of the unjust discrimlna tion of the railroads in favor of con r cerns doing business in Virginia and In the North, the North Carolina fur niture dealers will now truly come in to their own. In spite of the unjust discrimination which has limited their market to a very large degree, they. have prospered wonderf uly. and built. up a great industy in the-State. With the discrimination removed they will spread their markets, enlarge their sales and become an even mora Important factor In the development and prosperity of the State. Says ' The Columbia State: A fel low doesn't have to be a Sherlock to decide that the Philadelphia newspa per which speaks of a grievious mis take, has a Oitorth Carolina compos itor in Its employ." . And a fellow wouldn't have to be any sort of a detective to decide that the linotype has never ; invaded ' Co- lumbla. The State paper sUn depend, ing upon compositors, of whom there are few in real newspaper offices. Governor-eTect Locke "Craie has been the teacher of a Baraca Sunday school class at Ashevllle. More and more it is to be noticed that the best and largest men among us are not too big or Important or selfish. to give some of their time to the training1 and advising of our youth, upon whom the future of our State rests. The best resolution the man of fam ily who is now paying "rent can make for the New Year is to quit paying rent and buy a homei utilizing the agency Of the' building and loan. If you haven't enough money saved to make a start toward building begin a strenuous savings campaign. Castro and the King, of England's llbeler are mighty good men to keep out of this country. The United States Is. "the home of the free and the land of the brave" all right, but it Is no harbor of. refuge for unprin cipled -traducers of character, whole sale assassins and trouble makers. The Charlotlean who does not thrill at the thought and the realization of the good things in store for Charlotte during the v coming., year is sadly in need of a oourse of training under the officers of the Greater Charlotte club.. "And many a man who wants to kiss a girl against her will wouldn't want to If she was willing," remarks Some paragrapher. Which is all wrong if the girl is good looking and the man normal. President-elect Wilson may .have a time of It with home-comings. He' is claimed by New Jersey, Connecti cut, Georgia, South Carolina; North Carolina and ."Virginia, he having lived in all ofthese' States. There are families in Charlotte who have paid enough rent to , buy half a dozen houses of the kind they oc cupy.'. ""It's '.much' 'wiser to make that rent money, pay . for a home. ; ' The .city ;of Ashevllle has installed firBt-aid-to-the-inJured equipment - in its police station..;--That is something the need for which in Charlotte has been 'commented "upon- many times. Girls, today is your; last, chance t6 take the initiative.':; After today ft will be the referendum for yours.

The farmers. who say they never mind paying for what they j get" for,. themselves,' but that they are human enough to want ". "everybody, else . to.. " do the. same thing, fare protesting against the measure, not for the reason' that they are- opposed to it as a general proposition or want the improvement stopped; but be cause they claim they are not being equitably treated in the matter -of the necessary assessments. That there is some reason for the contention of 'the farming Interests is necessarily : admitted. The law un der whioh the drainage, work Is being carried on in the county is manifestly defective In some essentials and yet in I this respect it does not differ so ma terially from .many other measures. While the whole proposition of ' law and government is intended to fall equally upon every citizen, out of the very nature of things, there are some sharp , inequalities. Those who framed the, present act labored as all labor who start an initiative measure. They bad nothing to base their calcu lations upon except- their; own Judg ment as to what ; would be fair and equitable. Trying to arrive a a fair basis of taxation, they created an im provement territory, making the bur den of the levy for the drainage im provement fall upon the owners , of contiguous . property. The property nearest the point of improvement was assessed at a higher rate than that further away,, all the properties being divided into five classes and the class- La being designated upon a basis of their distance from the immediate im provement. This seemed to the fram- ers of the act to be wise and Judicious and not to be discriminatory. But this does not appear to be the general verdict. The people have been think ing over the project and are not satis fied with the method of taxation. They have found the cardinal vice of the bill which lies in the fact that the drainage act .does not create a I general tax fund 'that will fall upon (the county as a whole; rather is it lopsided to that extent that it is pred icated upon the supposition that there only one benefit to be derived from the improvement the benefit to the owners of contiguous . property. This is not. the fact In this Instance. Drainage work has two distinct and separate benefits.' The one is to the property immediately connected and the other is general, a health benefit to all the people. The beneficial results upon the health of a community are perhaps in ex of tVo mt.'ril ad- VAutsge and( enhaccemr.t which ac crues to the proper otnetra ed. If this ts the situation, ' there ought i-J be two separate ba jos of taxation. These owning the land througa which the cv; edged stream flows should be mnde to pay a reasonable part of thv cost of the improve .neat lhemsir. And ' tcn the peo 1 oZ ' the entire cojoty hose health is adantagvd by eli..red creeks should bear a gt-r.vrai burden of taxation for: tlv benefit lth,y derive from the improvement. t'er ir stance, allow the owners of cert aIp pi opertles co it: ruous to bear cme-balf of the cost and the people r.t the cciinty at larte bear the other half. . It would not . be necessary to abrogate entirely the present act, ere Jating improvement territories, for It might yet be necessary to have vari ous tracts of property lying near the streams taxed by reason of the direct benefits accrued, but the protest now being made is based upon the fact that there are people in the county, receiving the benefits of the drainage, who are not sharing in the cost 1 'of the work! ' . ' ' ' Some plan by which the burden of the assessment can be shared by those receiving the direct and those receiv ing the indirect advantages from the improvement must be the basis upon which the drainage activities - are con tinued. The point has been made and is reasonable that for the work done bo far, some ' of the poorer people of the . city, under the present act, are made to pay for the cost of the work by reason of their adjacency to the streams, , whereas .. others, more able to pay and receiving benefits from the improvement, too, have not been; taxed a penny and are not taxable under the half-mile improvement lim it. This; work is very essential to the county. It is more essential " t0 the health of the people than to tlje lands of the people, for We can; get along without , the lands, but r not ' without health. For this reason, the health benefits are shareable by all, the peo ple and all - the people should be Will ing to pay for any agency that brings into their lives and into their homes further degrees of efficiency that oome through abetter Health. - The farmers are willing; tobear, their pro portionate part of the . cost, but are unwilling to pay for the entire cost, when,, as a matter of fact,' they, as a class, are only a segment of the - peo ple who are reaping the I actual and undisputed benefits of, the - improve ment. - , ,Vv. ,mmJlSMaSarmB CbUrlesJoumal.) . .' u '12.

Taxes Semi -Annually. j . . (Wilmington Star.) .: The slow progress made in the col lection of city taxes for ; the present fiscal year ' has caused members br council to give no . little - considera tion to 1 the suggestion of one of its members that taxes should be colr lected semi-annually instead or an nually, Bay in July and January of each year, and it was learned last night that this county's ' Representa tives : In the next : General - Assembly will : be asked to have a bill passed giving the council the authority , to. put the proposed plan into effect. ; It ; would not , apply to poll tax, whichrwould be due ,and payable an nually as at. present. It would at feet the t tax on personal property and real estate. The proposed plan has many advantages, It Is claimed, First of all, it wouia enable the municipality- to i get along without having to .run to the kbanxs , every Summer to borrow money to tide over , until the tax money begins to. come - in. " Under the present system of; collecting the taxes once a year, the city is forced -every Summer to borrow a considerable amount- on which it has to pay interest. ' By dl vidlng the payments of the .taxes and collecting; every cent when it is due members of council believe that the necessity for borrowing money will be removed. Besides, they think that it ' will be much easier to co lect the : taxes, as ' ttus individuals. firms .and- corporations will not have to pay. out so v much at one time. This year the cttv has had to bor row several thousand dollars to run the government' .on until the tax money could . be : collected. , Very little tax money, comparatively speaking,' has as yet been collected, but it is understood that the financial department is "going after 'em" now! that the holidays are overr going after the fellows ' Who owe large amounts so that the money due the banks can be paid and the city have enough left in. the treasury to meet current expenses. Bfebanev (Greensboro News.) To Mebane, one of the most pros perous and . hustling towns of the State, the year i 19 12 will leave a rec ord of marked development rln com mercial, industrial and farm, lines of endeavor. Better still, Mebane .looks forward to an even greater expansion of its varied industries during' the year 1818, addition of - two ; manufac turing: plants to the already long list being assured. . Writing of Mebane's development during the pt year'-W. E. White, one of the leading manu facturers of that place and a pioneer In its development as a furniture cen ter, calls attention o some of the rea sons why the town has a right to feel good over the record of the year 1912. Mr. White refers to the larger prop ositions which have been' successfully engineered, but it is really in the number of handsome residences and street improvement work which,' to the visitor, has best demonstrated the. belief that in Mebane is a citizenship of prosperous and contented people. r . Give the Pine a Chance. (Hoke County Journal.) One hog ' to every ". 1 8 acres. ' That is the average number of hogs there are throughout the open range coun ties of eastern North Carolina. Ahd yet. these scattered hogs have suc ceeded in preventing the - reproduc tion of long-leaf, pine all over this region. One hog in those counties is worth about $2.50, while 1 acres of pine should yield at least an aver age of $18njbl year. Try 18 hogs to one acre and Jet the long leaf pine come up on the unenclosed 4ands. Cholera, bears or thieves may tak your hog, but a forest will stay where it is and grow until you need it. .- : ..
