SECRETARY MELLON WOULD (IT SURTAXES. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, one of the most important officers of President Harding’s administration, is again urging a reduction of' the sur taxes on large incomes, lie favors a i decrease in these taxes from a mini mum of 58 per cent. to a maximum of only 25 cent. This would lower the rate of the tax to half its present level. There Is no likelihood that the next Congress, though nominally i:r the control of the Republican reactionar ies who share Secretary Mellon's t views, will undertake any downward revision of the surtaxes. The "radi ' cal progressives" on the Republican • side and the Democrats will- be sure to " ojjjiose further reductions of taxes* for multi-millionaires while every one ; "Ulse's taxes are growing bigger under the present Republican administration. It is well known that Secretary Mel lon is merely uttering the hopes and wishes of president Harding and the Republican bosses of Congress when t he says, “I favor * * * the reduction y df the surtaxes to a reasonable level, C with a minimum of 25 per cent, to taling 33 per cent, with the normal tax,’’ but unlike him. the other advo e cates of this favoritism to the. billion* - aires hick courage to speak their minds as.frankly as he reveals his. The Republican tariff has already . raised the cost Os living and promises l to increase it still further. This tariff is a tax being collected from the lnul titnde for the benefit of a few thous and profiteers. It is tor these profi teers, who have made taxes higher I : for 'every one else, that Secretary Mellon would again reduce the sur- K taxes. The Republican Congress de creased these taxes some $62.»M).000 in 1921 THAT KOAD AT SOUTHERN DE POT AGAIN. AVe dislike to keep talking about one thing so much, but we disiike to stop talking about a nuisance until ij has btH'ii removed. And for that m»- son we bring up that road at the Southern depot again. The road from Corbin street to the station building | is about as rough as it ever was, and in rainy weather water stands in the E-road varying in depth from one to 12 inches. No street in the city is used more than this cue. and none is rough- This land- is the property of tHe Southern Railway Company, and we thiuk it should be required, not asked, to improve it. Surely the city has enough power to remedy such an eyes sore. And there is another- little matter that should be* given more considera tion by the city. That is relative to putting numbers on houses. AVe don't know whose job it is - to sen* that the numbers are placed'on homes, lnp we know that several business men who | .have lived here.for a number of years, \ and a number of visitors, have com plained.-of the fact that a house here cun hardly be located by its number because so many houses are not num bered. 'There was a time when Cou cord homes could be designated as If ‘‘next to so and su's” but that eondi- I tiou does not exist today. Ale are growing so rapidly that we have to adopt city methods of doing things, and it is certainly a city method to have houses numbered and streets marked. f * • NEW HOTEL. A movement is on foot here now looking to the erection of a modern hotel for Concogd. AA’e lioi>e the move ment will have all of the success it deserves. AA’e understand tlmt the men who are behind 'The project have already raised about $50,-000 and they are meeting with such eh couragement :jf nd success in their rounds of the city, that they are very enthusiastic and optimistic. ' There is nothing Concord needs more than a new, modern and com modious hostelry. The management of the present hotel is doing the very best it can, we think, for the travelling public, but the building is in such bad shape thpt it is almost hopeless. And in spite of this, the hotel is tilled practically every night and business has been so good that the manage ment has rented a dwelling in the city to be used as an annex. And yet there are people who say a hotel will not pay here; that travel ing men get in and out as quickly as possible; that they never spend the night here. All of which is bunk. But the condition will not continue j if the traveling men become uncertain as to whether they can secure a room. They-will not take a chance. *AA e need a hotel with about 125 rooms and all modern conveniences, new equipment and up-to-date fixtures,’ .Such a hotel will pay, as they are paying in other cities not so large as Concord. AVOIDABLE DEATHS. AAV see- by an editorial in The Charlotte. News that "they have final ly completed the count of the death toll‘from U\ J o of the most prominent sources of juortality in 1922, pistol toting and automobile speeding, and they total around 10,000 each.*’ Here are the facts. Twenty thous and lives that could have been saved, ended because of the illegitimate use of pistols and the carelessness of some fool automobile drivers. ‘‘That is a terrible indictment to write against the civilization we boast of in this country, a civilization' that, has not yet developed a proper appreciation of tiie value of a human life,” The News says again. The News is right. What are ,we doing to stop this terrible slaughter? Practically nothing. . The Charlotte 1 Riper finds again that "we can tell wlmt a steer is worth right quickly and institute measures to prevent it being depreciated by the infestation of ticks, but we let human lives go out to tlie numerical extent of 20.006 i \ a year by the wrong use of two me diant* at instrujneuts and hardly bat an eye. And yet how much better is a man than a sheep?” THE NEAR EAST AGAIN. A , t Rev. .7. Frank Armstrong, chairman of tlie Near East Relief campaign in this county, states that the drive this year will begin on Sunday, February 25tli. and continue through March 4th. lie is preparing plans to make the opening very auspicious, and expects the $3,200 quota in this county to be easily raised. We also believe that it writ be rais ed quickly and generously. AA’e have plenty, regardless of numerous calls which have been made, and we mn save a life, tlie most precious of sill things, by donating S6O si year. Five dollars si month, we sire told, will feed an Armenian. Can we refuse to give this small amount for sueli a magnificent cause? THE FOREGIN-LANGUAGE PRESS BLAMES HARDING FOR INACTION Many of the foreign-language news papers which supported President Harding and other Republican candi dates- in 1927 are now finding fault with his inaction in regard to Euro pean questions.. Those papers reach and influence a great many voters. A large section of the German-lan guage press is critical of President Harding. The Herald (New York), an independent newspaper, has this to say of the administration: "The fluctu ating, undecided attitude of our gov ernment has certainly contributed not a little toward encouraging M. Poincares government to choose the course it has taken” in seizing the Ruhr valley. The Staats-Zeitung (New York) la ments that what Washington has done lias come “too late, much to(> lute.” “One day President Harding an nounces that we plan to co-operate with European powers and the next day he backs out discreetly,” says the relish Nowy Swait (New York). This paper then adds that “so far as the public is concerned it is absolutely in the dark as to the position of the country in international polities." Other publications in tlie Italian, Czech, Lithuanian and Russian lan guages write in tiie jsame tenor when they discuss the Republican adminis tration’s outlook upon foreign affairs. jThis is for many of them a reversal compared with their attitude in the last presidential campaign. This situation makes it even mere embarrassing for the President and his advisers. _The Republicans will need the strongest man they can get in 1921 to head their ticket and this ad verse feeling toward Air. Harding will complicate tliingjs greatly. The Republicans are nfrakl not to renomi nate Mr. Harding. To do so would bo to admit the failure of his administra tion. A’et, they fear if they do nomi nate him he will lie overwhelmingly defeated on account of the failures he and his leaders have made. \ ■■■ ■ , - .AFTER WEEVIL IN EARNEST. Judging by interest shown in the national conference for the eradica tion of the boll weevil, which was held this week in Atlanta, tlie entire United States is at last (interested in the light against “the million dollar pest” and there is every reason to be lieve the* weevil has seen his best days. From the President down to the hum / j A ble farmers there come promises of co-operation in the tight against the pest, and with such co-operation there is no reason why the weevil cannot be checked in his mad flight in the cot ton fields of the South. • And co-oiieration is just what is needed. The organization of which Dr. Miller Reece Hutchison is leader, is working on various experiments de signed to check the propagation of the weevil, and science in this tight, as in many others is certain to win. AATieu !he birth of new weevils is system atically checked, it will be but a mat ter of time until tiie pest is eliminat ed in the South. Tlie pity is that it took the United States so long to get interested in this campaign. The weevil for years has been playing havoc with the cotton crop, yet the public generally did not join in the light until the past year. The cotton crop is something of vital importance to every section of the United States, not merely to the peo ple who produce it. and for that reas on it is right that every section of llie country should join in the light against the crop's* most deadly enemy. The North Carolina tumoral Assem bly lias about 11 more working days left now, and if it completes sill of the matters presented, many long night sessions will have to be held. Most of tli(> important hills, in fact, have not yet been passed, including the budget ’measure, which generally takes about 20 days. For some reas ons niemliers of General Assemblies always wait until the last minute to introduce the most important meas ures. and for that reason the: closing session are the hardest. Isaac Luther Beaver. Isaac Luther Selienek Beaver, of Cabarrus County, died February 14. 1023, at the age of 72 years, 6 months and 12 days. He was married to Miss Mary .Jane Cress March 26. 1x74..
