LAWRENCE MACRAE THINKS
THE COCNTY COMMISSIONERS
SHOI LII BE EMPOWERED TO
I'SE THEIR DISCRETION |X
THE MATTER—To ENLIGHTEN
SPAIU.ER AND PHII.MPS.
Editor Danbury Re)M>rt r. and the
setH-ral public:
In view of the yiitewide au'itatj.iTi
now prevailing from ine end :»f
X'orth Carolina to the other for cur.
tailment in county officer's salaries
and various proposals for abolish,
nient of officcn here and cotisolid i.
tion there, it is well for the voters
of Stokes to make up their mindi
just how they want the Htate laws
to read on t.hjs subject and pa«a
their conclusions on to Senator Spar.
gr and Representative Phillips, t.i
help them carry out the wishes of
their constituents.
There appears to be a growing
sentiment to empower the Board of
County Commissioners to exercise
their best judgment In regard to
county officers' salaries and the
abolishment and consolidation of of.
flees. I personally favor this change
with the proviso that the governor
or the resident judge nlame two well
qualified land in each county
to vote with the county commission,
ers in regard to •the above.

How The Tax Question
Is Being Sized Up ,
I
I Thos© who reid the newspaper j
have perhaps noticed that ithe ques
tion of taxes is one that its occupy-]
ins? the minds of most people todav.'
They are subjected to an ever-mount
ing burden. More than 'half the
state", (through their legislature*. are
now considering either a jrenenil or
luxury tax in order 'to provide funds
for unemployment, relief of various
kinds, pension*, etc.
The Western Tobacco Journal fives
up the tax qtie s tion in .thi* way:
Tax the farmer, tax his fowl.
Tax hi.s IOR and tax his howl.
Tax his hen and 'ax his ess.
I-et the bloom in' mudsill bp-:?.
Tax his pijr and tax his squeal.
Tix his b iots run down a.t the he"'.
Tix his plow and tax his clothes.
Tax his r:\ss that wipe his mw: i
T»sx his hou-p and tax his l»ed.
Tax the !I .spot on iii- head: j
Tax the ox and tix the ass,
Tax his "lfer..ry" tax his was:
Tax the road that he mu*t pass
And make him travel o'er th.«
i
grass:
Tax hit ("iw and tax his calf. j
Tax him if he dares to lauuh:
He is hut 'n common man.
Tax the laborer, but be discreet. |
Tax him for walking on the streM.
Tax his bread, tax bjs meat.
Tax his shoes clear off his feet.
Hix the pay roll, tax the sale. '
Tax all his hard-earned paper |
kale:
Tax his pipe and tax his .«ni»ke. '
Teaeh him government is no joke.
Tix the coffins, tax the shrouds,
Tax the souls beyond the clouds
Tax all business, tax all t>hops. |
Tax the Incomes, tax ;he stocks;
Tax the living, tax the dead.
11 ix the unborn, before they're fed
Tax the water, tax the air.
Tax the nunlisht, jf you dare.
Tax them all and tax them well.
And do your best to moke life
