The committee, headed by Mrs. : Worth Elliott, president, presented three matters. The first, as stated by Mrs. Eubert Lyerly, was that a curbing be placed around the grounds cf the higfi (school build ing, the front plowed up so that it could be sowed to grass and shrub bery planted. On motion, Council man Fred A. Abernethy was instruct ed to have the work done under the direction of Mrs. Lyerly, chairman of the- school committee. Mrs. W. L. Mitchell brought up the question of toilets in the North school, Mayor Elliott informing her that council had already ordered new automatic plumbing installed. There has been complaint about the toilets at this school and a commission vis ited them and saw conditions. Mrs. WT. B. Ramsay brought up the question of a care-taker for the cem etery and members of the committee joined in the discussion. Mayor El liott said his idea was that th? city keep the drives and walks in good condition and that the owners of lots keep them up. The city makes no profit from the sale of lots, and it spends money from that source on the walks and drives. Some plan where by the owners might assist was sug gested, and Mrs. Ramsay and her committee were satisfied that cooper ation would be forthcoming. The auditorium matter was also brought up and Mayor Elliott was in formed that Maj. T. A. Mott would be here Friday and will take the question up. It is thought that an agreement will be reached with the Shuford and Ellis estates. So little progress has been made on the library7 that the mayor was instructed to go to New Yoik and see the head cf the Carnegie foundat ion. All the facts in the case will be presented and it is believed" the ap propriation canr be raised from 511. 000 to $25,000 or more. Unless it is raised, the building cannot be erect ed. A petition asking that Twentieth street between Ninth avenue and Ekvemh "avenue be graded and top soiled was presented. The petition was signed by the Hickory Manufac turing Co., John A. Yentz and FL S. Leonard, agent. The matter will be taken up at once and acted upon. The Texas Company was authoriz ed to put in two large tanks on Mr. J. H. P. Cilley's property adjoin ing the company's property. The capacity of the two tanks will be about doublt that of the one tank now in use, which will be removed.

No report of damage done has ibeen received. the abundance and variety ot our natural resources and the industry and ingenuity of our people. "But the most inspiring exhibit that can be made at a state fair is a fair state a state arrayed in vestments of wisdom and justice seeking diligently to give to all htr citizens the largest possible meas ure of opportunity and of hope. "The one indispensable requisite to such a state is a just and adequate system of taxation. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you as the fairest and finest exhibit at this fair the system of taxation en acted by the general (assembly of 1919. Permit me to call your at tention to several features of this magnificent exhibit. 1. It permits the people of the state to tell the truth about their property. The people have not here tofore enjoyed this privilege. The ; people have boe;n plandejred by a j system, degraded -by a Mechanism I of falsehood with whose operations ! they had little or nothing to do. 1 "2. The tax books are forced to i tell the, truth. The machinery is j so constructed that of itself it can- j not lie and any officer or idividual ! who tampers with the machinery j in order to make it lie will find the j jail doors opening to receive him. j "3. The new system through the ! revaluation act wipes out forever j inequalities in taxation. True val- ues are always equal values, but the j wisdom of Solomon and the genius of Edison combined cannot equalize a series of lies. It has been said, 'The truth shall make you free,' and I this applies with mathematical ac-j "irnc" to fvee'b-.m from inequalities! :n J-'P.. i!' r . TV- - .- ::"- "" : an earnest search for the t-'uth, an'1 : the man who runs away from it , simply confesses that he is afraid ol what the truth will reveal. Why? "4. The fourth feature of this ex hibit, upon which I desire to focus your attention is that it requires that what a man pays out in taxes shall be in part determined by what he takes in. This is the income tax amendment. Under the general law a reasonable tax is levied on all classes of property, but if these are found not to be suffiicient to meet the demands of a growing state, then the additional burdens are laid on the shoulders best able to bear them. This is the very essence of would seem be the most enthusiastic They cer tainly should be. It is hoped, tnere fore, that better reports will yet come in from Catawba county. ed in their midst.
