In other words, The News,
charges that the auditors report
and the report of the special
legislative committee, which is
composed of honest, honorable
business and professional men of
( -the state, have perpetrated upon
the people of North Carolina a
fraud, and that they have inten
tionally and purposely mis
represented the facts and deceiv
ed the people as to the condition
of the state's finances.
It boldly charges that the au
ditor's report "has been cooked,"
meaning, of course, that the re
port is a lie, and that these honor
able gentleman who have made
the report are dishonest, ordinary
crooks. It aiso charges that there
has been "trickery" and "double
dealing," ail of which is a !
downright slander upon the com

honorable men at the head of the

j slid will have little effect or in*
j flutnce upon the people of the
.state. For years The News, pos
; irg as an independent newspaper,
j has made it its business to criti
. cise democratic ( Hiciali ami to
j express its contempt for Utiro
cratic oificers and other public
men with whom it has seen fit to
j disagiee; and, in order to carry
its point, it has not hesitated to
misrepresent the facts and give a
meaning to what they say and do
which has been unjustified b.\
■ the true conditions.
In this connection it is a«so well
ito say that of course it was ex
| pected that The News would en
deavor to sustain Maxwell's con
tentions. In its unfairness it has
failed in its discussion, however,
to state that Maxwell is more re
sponsible for the revenue act of
I!)-1, under which the alleged do
licit occured, than any other man
in North Carolina. As a matter
of fact. Maxwell proudly hoists
that he "fashiom d" the whole
thing and it is a well known ami
uncontrowrted fact that Max
well himst If was the tax expert
which sat with the joint finance
committee of the senate and house
.
in IP2I and assisted in the pre-'
paration of the tax law of I''2l.
It is well known that Maxwell
stated at the time that the reve
nue derived from the present act
of l-'Ji w)uld he sufficient to de
fray all the appropriation author
ized by the legislature for the
year 1 '*2 l. It is well known that
Maxwell and the committee first
advocated a state ad valorem tax
of five cents on SIOO worth of
property, but when it was shown
to him and the committee by the
THE DANBURY REPORTER.
I
* | governor that certain changes
ej in the bill as oirginally drafted
- would meet any alleged defici
'. jency. Maxwell told the committee
• that there charges would cause
>; the revenue bill to produce
•jsufficienr revenue to meet all at -
piopru.'.i'sns authorized by tin
legislature of that year.
The uuestion therefore na'undly
arises was Maxwell right then or
is he right now? If he was right
i then arid the deficiency exists, as
I
ne alleges, he is more to blame
than anyone else. He announced
at that time that the bill would
be sufficient to meet all the ex
penses of the state. Now he takes
a different position.
There is a reason for all this,
of course. There is not a 10-year
old boy or girl in North Carolina
but knows that if Maxwell had
been appointed commissioner of
revenue by the governor of
North Carolina that he would not
have taken his present absurd
and indefensible position.
The people are tired of Maxwell
and this whole all'air. Maxwell
should apologize to the people of
North Carolina for his indefen
sible conduct, and, should he re
sign from his present position,
which many maintain he should
do, it would be bailed with delight
by a vast majority of the demo
crats of North Carolina.

is hot in Louisiana and the people
' of the Southwest swarm in this
country in the summer. Many
of them rent cottages, and the
' I Colorado Chautauqua at Il.,ulder
■. is largely patronized by Southern
■ers, who take cottage in June
,jand stay there until September,
thus wholly escaping the hot
season of the far South. As they
have all their family with them
lit is really home for them, and
• the man of the house goes back
ward and forward to keep in
touch with his business.
If I had not been told many of
;my hearers at the Chautauqua,
were from the South I would
have known it last night. Just.

i Southern airs, closing with:
"Dixie." They have always got j
I applauses for their excellent!
' sinning, but as they struck up!
| "Dixie" last night \ou would
! have imagined it was a Southern
! audience. They had the old yell,
sometimes called the "rebel
•yell," for the song struck the
| spot. Speaking of thi*, a promi
nent citizen  f Kansas, born in
'the South, said that the thing he
'misled most when he first made
| his home in Kansas was that he
seldom heard "Dixie." "Worse
than that," he said, "when the
air was played, there were no
cheers. People sat in their seats
as stolidly as if it had !>een some
tune without meaning or go or
enthusiasm.''
