D’Aubigne was born in a prison. She
became one of the most extraordinary
women in history. Plain, poor and

TODAY’S YESTERDAYS
The First Thanksgiving Day—'ln'
the New World was not as popularly
believed, observed in New England,
but on May 27. 1578. on the shore of
Newfoundland, having been appointed
by the English minister Wolfall for
the Frobisher expedition.
The idea of Thanksgiving Days
goes back, of course, to the early Is
raelites: such days are mentioned
throughout, the Bible. The Pilgrims
and Puritans had observed them in
England before they came to Ame
rica .
What is popularly regarded as the
first “real” Thanksgiving Day was ob
served in Plymouth colony on Decem
ber 13. 1621; this was the occasion
when wild turkey made its appear
ance at the Thanksgiving table.
The annual thanksgiving was olv
served in various colonies in Febru
ary. April, May. July and December
until President George Washington
set the first national observance of it
on Nov. 26. 1789. Washington was so
disgusfed w’ith the fray mood in which
il was observed in New York that he
wrote a denunciation, and no official
thanksgiving was held for five years
as a consequent*. Which pleased
l homa.s Jefferson, for hr protested
against it on the ground that il con
riirtrd ’with the government’s purpose
to separate church and state.

The Turks had no intention of let

or escape at all if they could help it.

round the British flanks while infan

column afoot. Townshend was placed
in a crucial position. And he was un

On Nov. 23. bugles were sounding

the British from Bagdad, the French

one offered bv *2enatoi John Sprunt
Hill, of Durham, and Representative
Nere Day of Onslow. Failing to get a
general bill, Mr. Day tagged Onslow
to the Pasquotank bill and the peo
ple voted for liquor stores. It has been
pretty w r ell understood that Governor
Ehringhaus waited on the Supreme
Court’s decision, which never touched
the constitutionality of these county
acts, before moving toward the ap
pointment of the commission.
Extreme doubt that there will be
offered any test of the county acts
is found everywhere. The counties
which have the stores do not wish to
stir up possible trouble for themsel
ves and counties which do not have
them are doubtful enough that the
Supreme Court would declare the
county acts unconstitutional. Only
one county among the 17 which voted
in the General Assembly for liquor
stores, has failed to hold an election.
That, unit is Franklin and it is learned
in Raleigh that Franklin expects to
have an election so soon as there is
official notice to the county that the
Supreme Court has reversed Judge
Clawson Williams in his restraining
order which prevented Franklin’s vote
The high court’s decision meant that
injunctive relief is not the remedy for
the liquor situation. It was not alleged
that any property rights were violated
by the liquor stores and injunctions
do not “lie" without such allegations.
The absolute uncertainty, therefore,
of the legal status as to liquor stoics,
will hardly be cleared before a ses
sion of the General Assembly can act
upon these measures Meanwhile, the
liquor commission acn be about its
work of determining what has been
the effect of the effort to control li
quor sales by counties. Apparently
there is more for the commission to
study now than there was when it
was created. The liquor stoics add to
its burdens. There arc more issues in
volved now. There was no legal liquor
involved then. North Carolina’s dry
habits could be contrasted with the
wet customs of neighbor states. The j

most important decisions it must
make is whether the county control

FDR To Assemble
Taxation Experts
(Continued 1 root rage Oim*.i
sured me that the average, while ap
proximately determinable, though at
the cosi of an enormous amount of
labor, had very little significance to
the individual taxpayer-—because the
individual isn’t on an average basis.
The average is .somewhere between
maximum and niiminnini, hut the in
dividual's load may he at either end
of the two extremes.
CONSUMER ( AYS
Uncle Sam knows to a cent, what
he takes in from levies on incomes
and excises.
These totals can t;e added up and
pro-rated, which is arithmetic that
makes sonic sense.
Uncle Samuel aNo knows the foot
ings of his customs’ collections. How
ever, he can’t tell how much the con
sumer is mulcted indirectly, by this
form of taxation. He scarcely can
guess, it is a form of taxation, col
lected by private industry, and par
tially passed on to the federal gov
ernment, through income levies,
which hardly can lie reckoned with
even by estimate.
LOCAL TAXES HEAVIER
Still, it is possible to say, in general
terms, that federal taxation is so-and
so much per capita Ihc country over.
Folk howl more over the high level
of federal than of local tax rates.
But local taxation is a heavier load
than federal taxation.
And it is a load which varies widely
with localities.
Underneath federal levies arc state,
county, city, school and other local

levies.
IVIKANS HIGHER COSTS
This local taxation, like tariff i xa
tion. may not be felt altogether di
rectly.
The collector, perhaps, doesn’t call
on the small-caliber citizen, but the
latter gets the reaction in the shape
of higher rentals and prices; he “pays
through the nose” indirectly.
The whole country can be added up,
and a per capita hit on, but it is an
average which doesn’t fit any given
area. Where local management has
been good there is little complaint;
where it has been bad it is no con
solation to the taxpayer to be told
that his load is above the average.
