Mr. Erzell is an exception to Monroe shippers are urged not to flock to town after receiving an eduea write to Ihe corporation commission 'lion ho decided that he could use his advising an Increase in railroad rates : intelliKence and brains In fanning by Mr. G. L. Manet, secretary of the and has been a practical and success- FARM COLUMN Chamber of Commerce, in the follow-if ul farmer. He is the type of citizen ing statement "The railroads of the Southern di vision, comprising the lines of the Southern. Seaboard and Atlantic Coast Line roads, and all of the smaller roads south of Richmond and east of the Mississippi river, need a huudied and twenty million dollars increase in revenue to bring their earnings up to the guaranteed sis per cent. To obtain this Increase they have asked the Interstate Com merce Commission to allow an in crease in freight rates of approxi mately thirty-one per cent. The hear ing on this petition will begin In Washington next Monday. The rail roads are asking shippers to write Ihe commission urging that the pro posed increase be allowed. "This seems very unwise. It is universally agreed that the roads must have additional revenue to meet increased costs of operation and to make absolutely necessary re pairs and extensions. Monroe, for instance, must have an umbrella shed at the passenger station, but under present conditions the Seaboard is not in position to make expenditures for such improvements. The ques tion to be decided is whether the in crease asked for is justifiable. The Interstate Commerce Commission alone can decide that matter, and we sust that local shippers do not write either approving or disapprov ing the proposed plan of increase, but leave this matter to the unbiased Judgment of the commission. "Furthermore, North Carolina shippers should be exceedingly slow to endorse any Increase In freight rati s ro long as the unjust and in equitable discrimination In freight rates in favor of Virginia cities is allowed to stand. Any energy which our shippers expend In writing the Commission should be used to bring about adjustment of this situation. This state can never build up a job bing or distributing trade of any consequence so long as' this handicap la Imposed. United anil concerted ac tion on the part of North Carolina nhippers, merchants and manufac turers is the only thing that will get us a square deal In freight rates." Liquor Truffle A Uniting "From information I have receiv ed from government officers, liquor conditions are fearful in the section north of I'nlonville along Grassy Creek." said Esq. M. L. Flow, Unit ed States Commissioner, this morn ing. "Automobiles from Charlotte and Lancaster counties are seen going to that section at all hours of the night, and from what I can learn, more liquor is being made In this county today than ever before sfnee the days of licensed manufacture.

W. 11 room, who declares that Dr. George Edward Flow's crop report w hich was primed in the last Issue of The Journal, too low, and too pessl ni'siic. Mr. Broom also takes excep tion to the Doctor's labor figures "There has never been so many stal wart young men on the farm," he says, "and they are working as never before. Most of the ex-service men returned to the farms, and in my community every young man who was in the army In 1917, '18. and '19 is back. The boys are working every available acre of land, too, around my community." Continuing, Mr. Broom said: "Crops are only two weeks late, and 40 per cent of the acreage is up. Only S per cent of the acreage instead of 20 per cent as Mr. Flow avers, was unplanted on May 18. Take It as a whole, land has never been better prepared. Cool weather, it is true, has Impeded the progress of the crop, but with favor able weather for the next few weeks Union county can hope to produce fair crop." Nitrate of Kudu l'nyx. Does it pay to make a side applies Hon of fertilizers to cotton while it is being cultivated? Of course it pays to apply nitrate of soda, and many farmers also apply mixed fertilizers containing arid phosphate and nitro gen to the growing crop. Mr..E. C Griffin says he will use about half ton of fertilizers and two hundred pounds of nitrate of soda per acre, but he used only about two hundred pounds per acre when planting. He will ap ply the remainder during crop culti vation. With this kind of fertilization it is possible to get two bales per acre m the best soils and a bale per acre on ordinary thin soils.

"Mr. Neal will find wide spacing won't pay," said a well known farmer who read about the experiment the young Monroe farmer was preparing to make, to the writer yesterday, "Three foot rows and eight Inch spaces between the plans," he con tinued, "will make more cotton per acre than wider rows with- wider spaces. Results of tests made by Georgia. Alabama and Mississippi ex periment stations prove this. Closer spacing of plants Is more conducive to the early maturity of the crop. Experiments conducted last year In the Mississippi .delta proved that by leaving the cotton just as the planter dropped the seed made larger yields per acre than when spaced 12, 15, IS, or 24 Inches.

To the Editor of The Journal: I am glad to note that Mr. T. F. Lim erick has announced himself a candi date for the Legislature subject to the action of the Democratic primary. I have known Mr. Limerick for the past ten years and know him to be a young man of excellent qualities, high Ideals, and unimpeachable character, worthy of the trust and confidence of the people of the county which ho seeks to represent. Mr. Limerick has had the great misfortune to be deprived of one of his arms; however, I assure the peo ple if they see fit to elect Mr. Limer ick to a seat in the Legislature he will do more hard fighting with one arm for honest government and the rights of the people than any man there with two. ' We need men lh Ihe Legislature who know right and sre willing to fight for It. I trust the voters of Union county will rally to the support of Mr. Limerick, the man who Is willing to give one hundred oer cent service for the honors con ferred on him.

Republican nominee for governor, declared himself to be in favor of tax reform. He quoted Gov ernor Bickett to the effect that the present tax system of the state Is tyr annous and unjust government. In his opinion it was as stupid as It was unjust. He said that the present tax system was ct rated for the conditions of a half century ago. He advocated a new tax system based upon present conditions and the experience of our sister Btates. Such a system, said he. Is a system based upon the Income tax. Our present tax system throws the burden of the state government on the small farmer, the home owner and the tenant. We need a system which will make manufacturing and commerce bear their Just share or the burden. He said that the revaluation act was not a step forward, but a step backward. It does not create a new system but Increases the burdens of the old system. J. W. Bailey says that the man who thinks the act was passed to promote justice or for the purpose of equalization ought to apply for admission to the home for the feeble minded. The purpose Of the act was to raise more revenue. The legislature had already reached the constitutional limit of taxation; and the only ihlng that could be done under the old system was to have the state tax commission raise the as sessed valuation or property. This throws a greater burden upon real estate; for. If the tax rate Is lowered, the holder of solvent credits pays less, the railroads pay less, and the defi ciency must be collected from farm lands. He called attention to the article by Chief Justice Clark appearing In Sunday's Greensboro News. and stated that It was shameful that the legislature while Increasing the taxes of the farmer should have exempted from taxation the stock of non-resident corporations having property within the state. "Judge Clark knows what he Is talking about." said he, "and If he Is to be believed. he legislature has exempted from taxation two hundred million dollars worth of property." No wonder It was necessary to list property on the first of January so as to get the rarni- ers' supplies on the tax books. With regard to the reform of the executive department of the govern ment, he staled that this department of the government was notoriously In efficient. He quoted the report of he board of internal Improvements. composed of two democrats, to the effect that "If an individual's private business were conducted as the state's business bus been conducted It would result in bankruptcy." He stated that his Inefficiency was due not only to Ife tenure bv Inefficient men but also o lack of unity and responsibility In he executive department. He snld hat Mr. Page was right In demanding more business-like methods on tne part of the state government, but he :Tld that Mr. Page's remedy was not fflrlent. What we must do Is cen- next tr-iiie responsibility. We need the t the governor control over ine execu live department. Let the governor appoint the subordinate executive of ficers such as the secretary of state, auditor, etc.. and hold him responsi ble for the successful operation of the executive machinery, and we will have done more for efficient govern ment In the state than a whole army of bookkeeping experts could do. This system, he said, works mnst success fully with the federal government. He also advocated giving the gov ernor Ihe veto power, saying that North Carolina was the only state In the Union which denied the veto pow er to the governor. He said that the veto power Is valuable not so much In enabling the governor to block bad legislation, as In making it necessary that he take an Interest In legislation and In making him responsible for the legislation passed during his Incumbency.
