TAXES REFLECT PROSPERITY. i
>; i
According to early figures made p*b- (
lie by li. A. Houghton. State Cominis- i
sioner of Revenue. 1922 was a pros
perous year for the average man in
• *
North Carolina. This condition is {
shown in the early tax returns made
& the ytate.
§-rcVp to ifcih|uight March 13th. the
t/ommiMoaep, had ■ collected in j
: income taxes more than two and one
half times as much as was received
, a
during the same period last year. Fed-
oral income taxes paid up to the same (
period also reflect decidedly more
prosperity in North ( *ayolina' although
the percentage is not so great.
The State exacts a heavier toll from j
- the poor man than does the federal
government, the State exemptions l»e
--iog $2,000 for a married man and s2oo*
for each additional dependent, while
the United States allows a married
man $2,500 and S4OO for each depend
ent. However, conditions are re vers
ed on large incomes, the State grad- 1
nation in taxes stopping at the slo.* 1
000 mark while !the federal govern-
4
ment imposes heavy surtaxes on all
.Jarge incomes. - > 1
Since the little fellows are the ones
who usually tile first the receipts by f
the State to date show a much heav- f
ier increase over, those for 1922 than
is reflected in the federal figures, but (
this disproportion will probably be re- 1
moved when the big fellows have been 1
heard from. :
BT j
During the entire year of 1922 the
*State collected $2,414,726.00 in income (
taxes, $201,011.55 of this amount be- (
ing received on or before March 13. '
During the first thirteen days in March
this year Commissioner Houghton lias 1
taken in $452,551.95’ as against $149,- '
099,32, or about three times the figure 1
in the same period last year. _ 1
V Figures • for the federal government
show $4,583,551.95 collected during the '
first thirteen days of March in 1923
as ajjainst $3,587,820.49 during the
! same period last year. Collector Gris
som found the thirteenth day of the
month far from unlucky, taking in
$057,280 or more than twice as much
as the figure of $277,170.00 collected
on the same day in 1922. All of the
figures cited for the State are for in
come taxes only while those of the
federal government include all taxes.
*- It is probable that it will be Mon
day before either the'State or Feder
al ugeuts know just wtyat was paid iu
up to midnight of the 15th. Since the
'large taxpayers, whose returns count
piost in the totals, usually wait until
the lust minute to pay their taxes and
a number of them asked for and ob
, tained extensions the tax collectors are
not prepared to say to just what ex-
H tent the rate of increase noted on
the 13th will hold when all of the re
6, turns are in. ~Both are convinced,
however, that final returns will show
substantial gains over 1922.
The income of the average salaried
man is really what determines the
wealth of a State, and the large in
crease iu taxes that this class- of citi
zens is paying this year iu North Car
olina certainly indicates a healthy
spirit financially. Last year w*as a
great one iu North Carolina, but we
believe 1 ! 1923^ will ■be even better for
every class.
NEW TEXTILE PLANT FQJi CITY.
fc , Formal announcement has been made
by the principal stockholders and the ■
‘incorporators of the Hobart on Mauu-!
factoring Company thnt plant will be
erected in this city in the near future.
The charter for the company has been
received, machinery has l»een ordered
and the contract awarded for the erec-
the mill structure.
This is probably the most important
business announcement made in Con
cord in recent years. The plant will
represent the first textile mill erected
here since before the World War, and
indicates that the cotton mill business
here is so prosperous that other mills
may he erected soon and additions
built to several of the present plants.
The success of the project is assur
ed by the announcement of the men
who are hacking it. The principal
stockholders and the incorporators are
men who have made good in other
textile enterprises, men who have 1
been associated with the textile in
dustry for years, ami wen who are
characterized by sound business judg- 1
meut.
One of the most interesting phases
of the announcement of the new pom- \
pany is the statement that the proj
ect is being financed with local capital
and that local workers will be em- j
ployed.
LITTLE INTEREST IN ELECTION.
A municipal election will be-held in
Concord- on May Bth. but so far little
general interest is being shown in it.
In fact, so far as we can learn the vot
ers apparently do not care much about
who is to lie Mayor or Aldermen, and
while rumors of strong opposition to j
the present, administiQition by an In- !
dependent ticket are current, no tick
ets of any kind have been announced.
The present administration has been
especially active in regard to build
ing paved streets, and when the work
under contract now lias been complet
ed this city will have about 10 miles
iff i«i\ed streets and 20 milt's of ce
ment sidevValks..
Rumors of* an Independent ticket
ire rather persistent, and out* rumor
tleclares "a clean sweep” is to he
aiade in the.city ball if this is possible.
Who the Independent candidates are
:o be is not known, and sH far names |
3ave been omitted in the rumors.
It is believed that Mayor Wornble
mil certainly some of the presept al
bumen. will he candidates again. A j
•lose friend of the Mayor declares that
he city’s chief executive lias not made
ip his mind yet as to whether or not
no will be a candidate, hut it is be
loved if his friends insist, Mr. Wom
>le will enter the lield again.
FINDS FOR LENOIR COLLEGE.
The Lutherans of North Carolina
ind of the entire Church membership,
for that matter, have an important
:ask lxTore them iu raising a fund of
?K50.000 for Daniel Rhyne College,
formerly Lenoir College. The cam
paign lias been ably presented to the
Lutherans of this district and there is
every reason to believe the quota for
the district will lie easily raised.
Mr. Daniel 11. Rhyne lias given the
college $300,009 oil condition that the
remaining $550,000 be raised. The
Lutheran Church in this State lias
agreed to raise $.300,000 of this, and
friends and former students of the
college who are not affiliated with the
Cbureli in this State are expected to
raise the remainder.
Money invested in Christian educa
tion is money well invested. It brings
dividends in t character and soul build
ing and that's the finest kind of divi
dends. We expect to hear in the near
future that the campaign lias been a
complete. success and that Hamel
Rhyne College is in position to take
the place in education it lpis offered
with the securing of the fund.

THE VALLE OF MILK.
Federal veterinarians who have been
conducting bovine tuberculosis clinics
in this county for a number of mouths,
have about completed their work, and
in their last report they stated that
the cows in Cabarrus County are iu
fine shape and they recommended that
everyone give more 'attention to milk
drinking and make milk one of the
biggest factors iu their diet. Milk is
recommended for every member of the
family, not merely the children.
The Charlotte Observer notices that
I)r. William 'Emerson, entributing to
the literature of the day* says that
“when we turn to the problem of diet
in connection with the nutrition and
growth of children there is no other
factor of greater importance than the
adequate use of-milk. It is the one
food which contains the many ele
meuts essential to the proper upbuild
ing of the body. - \
“For adult a quart a day is good
health insurance. ’
“For invalid a quart a day is a good
life insurance.
“For child a quart a day is an iu k
dispensable food.” ,
And these are some of the conten
tious for milk:
1. Supplies building material for
bones, teeth, muscles.
2. Strengthens nerves and every
other part-of hotly*
! 3. Supplies growing force wl*jfh
mates weafebodl#® strong.
4. Helps keep heart beating.
The Observer thinks a child should
have “one quart of milk a day if pos-,
sible—a pint without fail. A glass- of
j creamy, clean milk is the best tonic
for boys and girls. It helps make them
active and sturdy, with energy for
the play and a chance to grow into
, strong men and women.
‘•Milk is so efficient a food that on
this single item of diet, the young in
fant will triple its weight in twelve
t 1
months. v
‘Good, clean, fresh milk and sunshine
are the best safeguard against rick
ets.
“Milk contains more lime than any
other common food. Lime is the chief
constituent of bones and teeth.
“Milk is the best food we have Re
quires no preparation; has no waste;
is most thoroughly digested ,of . any
foods.”
j* In this county now we are paying
especial attention to the care of cows
| and it is right that we should. Where
a few years ago there was not a great
amount of milk in Cabarrus County
I
for sale, we now find large herds and
much milk is being sold in the dairies
in addition to that consumed by the
families which own their cows.
HARDING* IN THE RACE.
Attorney General Daugherty comes
forward with the statement that Pres
ident Ilardiug will be a candidate in
1924. Though the Attorney 'General
lias not announced that lie will be the
President’s campaign manager in the
next election, lie is still considered one
of the leaders of the President, and
or that reason his statement can he
taken as official.
The announcement will cause no
surprise. When Mr. Harding appoint
ed former Senator New to the,cabinet
as Postmaster General tlie public saw
that Mr. New would Re Mr. Harding’s
campaign manager iu the next elec
tion. Mr. New is regarded as a wise
politician. Being a member of the
“old guard” and a close friend to many
of the Republican leaders, Mr. New is
expected* to got the Republican nomi
nation fbr Mr.'Harding without much
trouble.
But, as The Charlotte News put# it.
“it is not the nomination of Mr. Hard
ing that Mr. New is. so particularly
exercised about. After that will come
the deluge and such a deluge as this
new Postmaster General, even though
‘politician to his finger-tips,’ will not
be able to avert.”
The State Highway Commission ex
pects to construct 800 miles of im
proved highways in North Carolina
during 1923, with half of the roads
hard surface. The first 1923 meeting
of the board was held recently in Ral
eigh and plans for the new year were
made. There is every reason to be
lieve the 800-mile goal can be reach
ed, Ivast year the commission super
vised the construction of 1.000 miles of
roads, with 000 miles in hard surface.
If tlie< cement situation, which lias
caused some delay to the work, can
he straightened out and the supply in
creased, the SOfltmile program is al
most certain to be a success. The com
mission last year tried to evade the
cement shortage by purchasing their
supply from a foreign country, but the
plan was not feasible, and the work
has already been delayed to some ex
tent by the shortage of this important
factor in road building.
To Scatter Man’s Ashes in Mid-Ocean.
New York, March 1 (*.—Miss Anna
Rolchi Benjamin, adopted daughter of
l’ark Benjamin, wealthy New Yorker
.and father-in-law of Enrico Uaruso,
will cast Mr. Benjamins ashes into
the Atlanta from the deck of the liner
Presidente Wilson when that vessel is
in mid-ocean next week. Miss Benja
liiiighas engaged passage on the Presi
dente v Wilson to sail for Italy tomor
row.
Two days before Mr. Benjamin died,
according to the statement of the
adopted daughter, he requested that
his ashes be scattered into the Atlan
tic at its exact center, or as near the
center as possible. The ashes .are noV*-
in an urn held by Miss Benjamin and
she will carry this urn with her when
she boards the ship:
Miss Benjamin received the bulk of
her adopted father’s estate under the
terms of a will, which cut off the Ben
jamin children: including Mrs. Caru
so. with $1 each. The five Benjamin
children contested the will, but the
contest was withdrawn after the chil
dren had received “substantial finan
cial consideration.” according to a
statement issued by their counsel.

COUNTY-WIDE PLAN OF
ORGANIZATION STARTED
i Franklin County First in State to
j Move Under New Legislative Act.
Raleigh. N. C., March 16.—Franklin
is the first county in the state to move,
[under the new school code passed by
the last general assembly, to establish
I a county-wide plan of organization of
j schools, according to reports made to
[Hr. E. (’..Brooks, state superintend
; cut of public instruction.
In order to conform with the re
quirements of the law, the board of
education rank tin has called a
meeting* in Louisburg. April 16, all
school committeemen and trustees. At
this meeting, the county-wide plan of
organization will be discussed and
formulated. No election will be end
ed or any change made in any dis
trict until after the organization con
ference. «
I>r. Brooks called attention to Sec
tion 73-a of the new school code, which
covers county-wide organization.
‘ The county hoard of education
shall create no new districts nor shall
It abolish a district, nor shall
it consolidate districts or parts of dis
tricts, except in accordance with a
county-wide plan of organization as
follows,” reads the section.
"I. The r county hoard of education
shall present a diagram or map of
the county showhig tlit* present loca
tion of each district, the position of
each, tlu* location of roads, streams
and other natural barriers, the num
ber of children in each district, the
sizti and condition of each school build
ing in each district. The county hoard
of education shall then prepare a
county-wide plan for the organization ]
of all the schools in the county. This
plan shall indicate the proposed cluing- •
es to Ik* made and how districts or
parts of districts tire proposed to be
consolidated so as to work out a more
advantageous system for the entire
county. ,
”2. Before adopting the county-wide
plan, the county -board of education
shall call a meeting of all the school,
committeemen and the boards of trus
tees and lay the proposed plan Indore
them for their ad vice and suggestions.
After receiving the advice of commit
teemen and trustees, the county board
■*»(' education, shall have authority to
adopt a county-wide plan of organiza
tion. and in* districts or parts of any
district, including non-local tax. local
tax, special charter districts, hereafter
referred to in this article shall l>e
consolidated or the boundary lines
changed, unless the consolidation or
change of boundary lines in i ac
cordance with the country-wide iplan
of organization: Provided, that ill the
event the county board of education
deems it wise to modify or change the
adopted plan, the hoard shall *otify
the Committeemen and interested pa
trons and give them a hearing if they
desire to be heard before any changes
shall he made.
M The county I ward of education
shall have authority to execute the
entire plan or any part of same, but
the county -board of education shall
have no authority to creat a debt for
the execution of any ]>art of the pro
posed plan unless authorized by law,
and if the amount necessary to put in
to operation ail or any part of said
[dan shall be greater than the amount
that may he reasonably expected from
the operation and equipment fund
for this purpose, the amount shall be
guaranteed by* the districts affected by
the execution of -the plan, or if the
districts do not guanuitee the funds
the county board of education shall
lay the proposed plan before the coun
ty commissioners?, together with the
estimated amount necessary to put the
same into operation, and if the amount
necessary to carry out all or any part
of the proposed plan shall lto approv
ed by the l county commissioners, the
county board of education shall then
have the authority to organize the dis
tricts in accordance with thp county
wide plan.
“When the proposed county-wide
plan is adopted the county hoard shall
notify the committeemen and I wards
of trustees us to what part of the
board proposes to carry out first and
in what order the other parts of the
plan will be considered and the
('renee shall he- given to those districts*
in which the needs are greatest if the
funds for providing the equipment are
made available.
“5. In the event that any child or
children of any district or any* part
of a district are without adequate
school advantages, and these advant
ages may be improved by transferring
said child or children tq a school or
schools /in adjoining districts, the
county board shall have authority to
make such a transfer. But this shall
►not empower the county board of ed
ucation to abolish or divide a district
unless such act shall he in harmony
with the county-wide plan or organi
zation. The temporary transfer of
such child or children may he made
until such time as the county-wide
plan will provide more advantageously
for them.”

MEDICAL SCHOOL IDEA
IS NOT YET ABANDONED
University Intends to Keep on Work
ing Until End Has Heen Achieved.
Chapel Hill, Marclils.—The Univer
sity intends to keep on working for
a four-year Univoxsity Medical school.
This was made plain today when
President Chase issued the following
Statement :
“I* have been asked a number of
times recently whether the fact that
the Legislature made -no appropria
tion for the expansion of the Univer
sity medical school mctfns that the pro
ject for /i four-year University medical
>ehool lias heen abandoned.
“Under * the resolution of the U ni
versity trustees, which I believe
nrouses a definite determination to see
tlie matter through, this is not the.
case. The University is deeply in
terested in the matter, and so, it
seeius clear, is the medical profession
of the state. Plans for the expan
sion of the .school into a four-year ■
degree-grunting school will, with the
permission of the lioard, be. laid be
fore the Legislature, and I believe
that the sentiment, of the board is
clearly to keep at work on the idea
until (hi' school is established.
“J tliftik that tlie. discussions j>f the
matter in the last lew months have
been of great value in bringing home
to the state the need for a full four
year medical school, and I am hopeful
that proper provision for such a
school may be made two “years from
now.”

PLAN BETTER MACHINERY
TO COMBAT BOLL WEEVIL
Plans Outlined by the National Insti
tute of Progressive Farming.
Chicu/6, March 1(* (By the Associ
ated Press). —Plans to defeat the boll
weevil and help restore prosperity to
southern farmers by speeding up of
their farming system, were outlined
here today by the National Institute
of progressive Farming.
The institute ladieves. after an in
vestigation, of the evttv that yearly
causes so much loss to cotton growers,
jtbat the best means of combatting it
I is in the introduction of farm lpac-hiti-
J cry to replace whaVit terms tin* “one
I mulefund-a-«-olored-liaml system.” < ’o-
J operation w'itli agricultural colleges
and ex|>eriment stations*- county
agents, chambers of commerce and ag
rucuitural higher mechanical stand
‘ards.
j “Prof. G. 11. Alford, formerly with
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
and a prominent agriculturist, lias
summed up the boll weevil problem
by saying that - while it can not Ik*
eliminated, it is possible to defeat it
with intensive cultivatnm.
‘‘Early fall plowing buries the pests
before cool weather drives them "off
the fields to seek hibernating quarters
per acre have been downward for the
for the winter.” he says. Cotton yields
per acre have lieen downward for the
last sixteen years, last year being the
lowest recorded. Larger farms and
plantations, manned with fewer-and
mdre highly skilled laborers and im
proved machinery, appears to be a
solution.
“While the average lowa farm is
equipped with $1,440 worth of ma
chinery and the average farm of the
north and west carries about $1;444
worth, the cotton belt farm has but
s2]f>, and depends largely upon one- ,
horse tools and hand labor.”
