After nearly hrec weeks of ram,
maybe there will be n period of fair
weather. The signs looked pood to-
TIow long it will take to clear up
the Tennessee tangle cannot be fore
seen, and there is a probability that
the women will not be permitted to
vote in November. Some other state
tN'orth Carolina, for example
ught to make ratification of the
HUh amendment sure.
There arc so many tractors in use
these days that some of them go out
over the paved streets. It would not
take much operation over these per
manent streets to damage them se
riously and it is earnestly requested
that the practice be abandoned. The
police department does not want to
net but it will be compelled to do. so
in less the business is stopped
OJ'KSTION OF FAIRNESS
In face of the unanimous vote of
Republicans and Demmfitic mem
bers ef the general assembly in 1019
for the revaluation net, in face of an
overwhelming majority of the mem
bers of the house, including several
Republican members, to accept re
valuation as the tax policy of the
state, and in face of members of the
utate board of agriculture and all
jiersons who have given the question
nerious study, it Is Inconceivable how
any candidates will attempt to make
capital out of the act.
Efforts to make the farmer feel
that he has been fleeced tend to
promote antagonism. Revaluation is
not a question of taxc3 at all. The
legislature has had ample machinery
for getting all the revenue it needed
to run the state and county govern
ments. The easiest way would be to
increase the assessments under the
old system in Catawba county it
could have been raised 30 per cent
without doing violence to fair values
under the old policy.
But aft solvent credits, all personal
property, all intangible property all
property that was not as plain as a
bank or corporation or an acre of
ground would have tjaken dover
and th banks, corporations and farms
nnd.smrU salary earners would have
paid the taxes, while the wealthy in
dividuals wculd have gone free.
Manifestly, the state had to get at
real values before it twuld reach all
property owned in the state. No man
with any sense would willingly consent
to paying 2 1-2 per cent taxes. He
would hide his property and lie about
it to the list taker. The amount of
personal property listed under rcvalua
tion shows that thin man is willing
to tell the truth if he is given a fair
deal
The income tax to be voted on in
November will tend further to reduce
the amount of taxes levied on prop
erty. The wealthy, if the income tax
amendment is adopted, will contribute
more money to the state $2,500,0fl'0
ihr first vear. it is estimated.
Now the cities and counties need
revenue. Hickory, Newton and Con
over, to mention the three principal
towns, want to grow; they need more
"money for schools, Streets, water and
sewerage. The county needs better
roads and better schools. Somebody
must pay for these things. Hickory
Is going to pay nearly as much in the
county fund as it collects for its own
needs and nobody wiljl kick here cx
ft'pt a few jiollticians perhaps or
Home fellows who won't get anywhere
with their bucking.
The legislature is safe-guarding the
properly owners in every wny. the
liouse machinery bill carries no taxes
rn property for state purposes, and
the counties are enabled to devote
their money to schools and other ne
cessities. What is wrong in that?
The Tennessee legislators who ran
away to keep from acting on the
suffrage amendment displayed a
species of politics that can make them
no friends. Even antis cannot respect
those who run away.
Cameron Morrison spoke at Graham
Saturday and answered briefly the
charge that he was the beneficiary of
the Simmons-Watts machine. He
pointed out that he was nominated in
a primary in which more than 100,
000 voters participated, whereas Mr.
John J. Parker was named by a few
men. The charge of machine domi
nation from a man who obtained his
nomination from less than a thousand
men falls down in a case like this,
or there is nothing in popular elec
tions and nominations.
KEEP HICKORY GROWING.
Mr. John J. Forester talked good
fense before the Hickory Chamber
of Commerce Monday night and the
more one thinks of what he said the
more one is coirviiyed) tint be
brought a true message. Fortu
nately that message has already
been realized, but the emphasis he
gave it must have done Hickory
good. The way to build up a city
Mr. Forester said, is to make it so
rttractive that people will want to
iimiH here.
That is a large undertaking. Rut
Hickory has made a start. II has
a lirsl class system of graded schools
and high school, it has a first class
college, many active churches, a
splmdvl tlimato and numerous
active manufacturing enterpris
es and some small ones of
various kinds. It is in the
center of n fine agricultural and
dairying section.! It is the biggest
trade center between Salisbury am'
Ashevillc. It has go.od railroad facil
ities. Many other places have about the
same conditions. Many of them an
hustling every day in the year, their
citizens realizing that the next cen
sus will show them up if they do
not keep busy. There is some build
ing in Hickory and there is prospect
of more. More houses is the princi
pal need in Hickory just at this
time.
F
Secretary Jov received a letter to
day from the agriculture and home
economics department of the state
board of acriculture accent irur hia
invitation to have the preliminary
judging contest for the state held at
the Catawba fair here October
Mr. Homer H. B. Mask, resistant
state agent, will brine: with him 40
or more boys from all over the state
to take Dart in a stock judging con
test, those making the best scores
to be used in ,later competitive con
tests Mr. Mask writes: "We would like
to give the boys a little trip through
the county, providing we can arrange
for cars in which to carry them
from place to place. I am wonder
ing if the Chamber of Commerce
will cooperate in this undertaking.''
Mr. Mask has been assured that
provisions will be made for the en
tertainment of the boys, and that they
will be given an opportunity to in
spect Catawba county farms and
dairies.

10 SCHOOL
Superintendent Carver and Citv
Manager Henry made an inspection
of the throe school buildings thi
morning in order to sec thai they
were in good condition for the begin
ning of the fall term probably on
the morning of September 6. The re
pairs will cost about $500.
All the window lights on one side
of the North building were broken
Panes on other sides were smashed
Not a single outside lock at the
high school was. intact. Here also
window pp.nes were broken and other
damagn done.
The South school had n number of
panes broken, but the damir here
did not begin to compare wi'h that
at either of the other two buildings.
Anybody who is inclined to do so i:
at perfect liberty to draw conclu
sions. Vandalism started just before the
sprint' term closed, and seems to
have been carried on during the sum
mer. What thoughtless or vicious
boys have done will cost the taxmv
cra at least $5(10 in money. That is
not the worst part of it of course
the worst feature is that such things
will be done at all.
