BONUS PROPOSAL IS A SUBTERFUGE The Real Purpose Is to Get a Sales Tax and Thereby Re lease Income Taxes IT IS A DEEP LAID SCHEME South' Carolina Congressman Has Nothing to Do Eacept to Quarrel Over Jackson's Birthplace By David F. StClair Washington, Feb. 20,-The motive f the Republicans in the proposed jonus legislation has been stripped to the skin. It stands stark naked with its clothes hanging on a hickory limb, but unabashed, brazen and even daring before the startled gaze of the country. . . What is it we all nod see? Tbe great body of the American people deip down in their hearts want to eive their soldiers in the world war some sort of adequate compensation for their services. The Republican bosses in Washington are so well aware of this feeling that they are compelled to make a political response to it t'o save their skins in the fall elections. But they believe this feel ing is so genuine and profound that thev can afford to employ it as a bridge to put across a scheme of tax ation that is dearer to them than a prohibitive tariff has ever been. This scheme is the sales tax. Do von know what kind of a tax that is! It is of all the taxes ever invented by human ingenuity the poor man's tax supreme. The poorer a man is out side of a public poor house the more of this tax he has to pay in propor tion to what he consumes. In other words the more inferior an article of goods is the greater the tax is on it in proportion. A dollar in a pair of poor shoes is Worth far less than a dollar in a pair of good shoes. A sale tax is a consumption tax pure and simDle and John D. Rockfeller or An drew W. Mellon would pay far less of this tax in proportion to what he consumed than would an average ten ant farmer in North Carolina. The leaders of the Republican party have greatly desired to replace the high income surtax and the excess profit tax with this consumption sale tax and they would have succeeded but for the firm opposition of the farm bloc in congress. The excess profit tax was eliminated and the high surtax was reduced 15 per cent but the sales tax could muster only 25 votes in the senate against the combined opposition of the Demo' cratic and Republican farm senators of the West. Last summer the President realifed that there was then no chance to get a sales tax measure passed. He then came before the senate and urged thai the bonus for the ex-service men be postponed, lie hoped by this post ponement to convnee the ex-service men and the public that the only way by which the povernmtnt could pay a bonus was by passnge 0f the sales tax measure. The Republicans hope and believe that so much revenue would be collected by this measure thnt all "obnexious" forms of taxa tion on the rich could be eliminated and the cancellation of the foreign war debt owed to the United States could be accomplished. The Repub licans have persistently circulated propaganda urging the cancellation of these debts and Senator bimmons in timates that the motive for this can cejlation has its basis in a high tariff, These debts must be paid in goods if ever paid and they stand across the scheme tor svh a tariff. Not being able to get these debts cancelled, Secretary Mellon then pro posed a drastic scheme of direct tax ation for the bonus. He knew it would not be accepted. So the Presi dent now comes forward with either a sales tax or the alternative of no bonus and the Old Guard Republican senators like Edge of New Jersey and Smoot of Utah declare that it will be well worth the bonus to get a sales tax written into law. But whether the ex-service men get a bonus or not the Republican bosses will not get a sales tax according to the leaders of the farm bloc in Cong ress. The farmers and labor people are now fighting this tax as the plague of plagues. Where Was Andrew' Jackson Born? Down in Waxhaw section of Union county, North Carolina, it is not a! ways safe to assert that Andrew Jackson was not born in North Caro lina. Just over the South Carolina line in Lancaster County it is per haps even more unsafe to state pub licly that Old Hickory was not a native of the Palmetto State. This historical interstate dispu'e has now got to Congress. W. F. Stevenson, a native of Iredell County, N. C, but now a resprescntative of the Fifth S. C. district in the house, has made a speech on the house floor combat ing the statement of .Historian James Parton that Jackson first saw the light at the McKemey farm on the North Carolina side. Mr. Stevenson contends that Jackson was born at the ' Crawford farm on the South Carolina side and he quotes from a number of Jackson's letters in which he stated that he was a native of South Caro lina. Mr. Stevenson's, speech is a chal lenge to Rep. William Cicero Ham mer of the Seventh N. C. district in whose district Jackson's North Caro lina birthplace is located and marked by a statue.

The company has set aside a large sum of money lor this purpose, 10 oe usea nt nnlv in helnmir th particular I.U. ... 1 " " , farmers co-operating but as a dem onstration to the wnoie communwy for future help. Mr w. Z. Faulkner, the manager of the Monroe mill, is now securint the names of farmers who wisn 10 take part in the demonstration. Some ajvht- nr ten will he selected and these farms must be fairly well grouped to gether lor convenience ana must De situated on the public roads leading out from Monroe. Eight or ten farms will be se lected, each farmer agreeing to put in ten acres for demonstration purposes. Tka farmer will furnish tbe cultiva tion and pay a small rental for the use of the machine to uistrmute tne poison and the company will furnish the machine and care for it and furn- kh tha nnisnn and mi nervism. - "" i . - i This should be a most vaiuaDie ana practical illustration of the value of nnlann in Willing the weevil. Exnerts say that there is no doubt about the success of this plan oi nghting n it is correctly practiced, anu tnese are the points that the company wishes to demonstrate under expert super vision. About three applications of the poison dust are made.

MISS MARGARET BROOM DIES IN COUNTY HOME Honest. Industrious and Pious Old Lsdy Who Preferred to Live Alone Hears Plaudit Miss Margaret Broom was born near Wingate, September 1, 1848, and died in the County Home, February 18, H22, thus being seventy-three years five months, and seventeen days old Her parents were very poor and il literate and died when she was quite young, therefore her early opportuni ties were almost a blank. But she inherited true principles of honesty industry, and piety, and these were outstanding qualities through all her long life. 1 Hinest she wanted not a penny she had not earned. Industrious she did an immense amount of harJ labor and made her own support un.il disabled by age and infirmity. Pious she was, a member of Miadow Branch Baptist church which she joined at an early age and was always present both at Sunday school and "church service when able to at tend. Considering her ability she wss exceedingly liberal with her means and was never satuiled without con tributinj to every worthy cause pre sented. She preferred to live alone and most of her life was so spent in her own little home. But there was never a blot upon her good name. Whenage and infirmity made it no longer pos sible for her to care for herself and no other satisfactory provision could be made she reluctantly went to the County Home where she spent the last two and one-half years of her life. Here, she was better cared for perhaps than she had ever been through life and was contented and happy. She was especially fond of Mrs. Wolfe, the present mistress of the home whose kindness she greatly appreciated. Funeral services' were conducted Sunday afternoon at her old home church by the pastor, Kev. J. Hoyle, and her body laid to res in the Wil liams cemetery by that of her sister Martha, who was killed by a train several years ago. A touching incident at the funeral was the presentation to the church of a little well-worn purs containing five dollars which Margaret had saved up and requested that it be applied on the new church building now in the course of erection at Wingate May it not be said of her "She hath done what she could! Doubtless she returned to the Mas ter her one talent many times muV tiplied and heard from him the wel come plaudit: "Well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of thy Lord.- A FRIEND, Miss Rebecca Norwood Stricken .

Mr. Iceman went with the other boys but spent the evening with his friend, Mr. Henry Adams, and wore his school clothes. Mr. Spach, who was not badlv injured, told the hospital authorities that he believed all the bovi were asleep except the driver when the engine struck the car. Dr. Roberson stated that he was met by a gruesome scene when he arrived at the crossing shortly after the accident. Two of the young students, attired in evening clothes, lav stretched on the pavement dead Mr. Iceman was under the wreckage in the unconscious condition.

C Hasty of Indian Trrl wishes to thank his friends fpr H c!r L-ln.lnp. and nvninathv In th" recent Illness and death of his little child, DR. WEAVER PREACHES ON THE LAW ENFORCEMENT Says He Doesn't Fear Enemies on the Outside, But That Certain Classes of Citizens Art Dangerous Dr. C. C Weaver preached Sunday morning on the subject of Law En forcement and brought out some in tensely interesting features on the subject. His text was from Matthew 10-6, "A man's foes shall be they of his own household." He very emphatically stated tnat man's most deadly 'foes are not other men, but his own passions things within those things over which he may have control if he is willing to bring himself under the proper subjection to n:s own win- The speaker empnasizeu me mil that the most dangerous foes of a State are not those on the ouside, but that they are citizens oi we commonwealth. He explained that there are certain types of our own citizens that give the troubles we are up against As an explanation oi nis position, Dr. Weaver referred to four types of citizens that are always dangerous. First, he said, we have me ioreigner who hasn't caught the American irloal and the American spirit. He was not inclined to argue the ques tion of foreign immigration, out ex fhat we have the foreigner amnnir im and must help him. He believes that they neeq. not criticism, but encouragement and advice. The second type el citizen nr. Weaver mentioned is the knocker the fellow is in rebellion aginst any form of government and whom noth ing suits. He is calculated to stir up strife and do a great amount of harm among people who do not know any better. These knockers may be found in almost every community and they constitute a very dangerous class of citizenship. The man who Isn't willing to carry his part of the load the tax dodger Dr. Weaver described as a third class of citizenship that is a danger ous foe within the state. He believes that an honest income tax report is a good indication of a good citizen ana sked how many men in iww wu- lina drew their money out oi tne banks before the first of February in order to dodge the income tax law. The fourth class oi men wno are dangerous to the state Dr. weaver i it tha one wno ininsn na van k neutral in law enforcement. He thpn asked why would a man be neu tral? He believes that some main tain a neutral position through fear that intimidation has been resorted to by blockaders in this county, ac cording to reports. Politicis also have something to, do with sealing some men's mouths in regard to the opera tion of stills and the unlawful han dling of liquor. Others assume an attitude of neutrality because they arp i?ettinir something out of it. Per haps a merchant may have a big sugar customer or he may sen copper iur the manufacture of the numerous MimUiirpr stills. Others yet remain neutral because they nro partakers of the product manufactured in denance rf flip nrnhibition laws. Dr. Weaver declared that there are hundreds of men who voted for pro hibition that don't want the law to be a success, and that every man who takes a drink now, unless he had a ivitilv on hand before January 1, 1020, is encouraging the vmlation of the prohibition laws, and if such .an one be an officer of the law he should be impeached. He also stated that sherills and constables and other of ficers who play favorites and that juri'S who can be swayed by outside influence and judges who let the of fnnilcra off w ith fines and costs are contributing to the breaking down of not only the prohibition laws, out an laws. The preacher appealed to the m.im tatinir that a now hrnnm has been placed in their hands an- th-t he trusts they will use the ballot to make a clean sween oi an oincers who are negligent of their duty. ltd rlnnpd his discourse with the statement that he is not afraid of Germany nor Japan, but that he is verv much afraid of the citizen who wili not obey and help enforce the laws of our own state and nations. At the Sunday evening service, Dr Weaver devoted about five minutes to a few preliminary remarks on the subject, "Shall Monroe be made a suburb of Charlotte?" He il aware of the fact that Charlotte is a good citv. but that is no reason why Mon roe folks should go there to transact their business, showing that when we patronize our own town we are help ing pay taxes for improvements of our home city, that when we get sick our own people look alter our com fortthat they aro our best friends and that the interests of the com munity are so interwoven that we cannot help anybody in the city with out benefitting ourselves. In his evening sermon he preached on the penalty of hate and drew a very striking lesson from the life Ha man. Civil Court Convened Monday A two weeks term of civil court convened here Monday.

WE MUST DO SOMETHING TO ! CONSERVE YOUTHFUL LIFE Dr. Burreli Says That We Are Doing The Least for the Most Valuable Thing That We Hare Taking as a text the words of the Psalmist, "That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth, that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished alter the similtude of a palace," Dr. W. R. Burreli plead In his Sunday night sermon that the community to do certain things to minister to the youthful life all about us. Young lite, he said, is the most valuable thing that we have and for which we are doing the least. Dr. Burreli urged that certain commun ity enterprises be undertaken look ing towards furnishing the oppor tunity for recreation and amusement further than that now afforded by the street corners. He is sometimes tempted, he said, to go out and preach on the street corners, for it is there that he finds the most of the youth assembled. All tbe different branches ot learn. Ing, all the various activities ot life are but means to bring us nearer to God, if we would but see it. In our educational undertaking we have the best gray matter on the surface of the world to work with. He cited Dr. Truett, born in North Carolina, one of the acknowledged seven great, est preachers of the world, as an ex ample of the ability that Is produced In North Carolina, much of which Is going to waste. Ignorance, he said, is the mother of vice and only proper education can abolish the law break. ing that wc hear so much about. We may pray as much as we please but we have also get to do something, for whenever Jesus prayed he went out and did something to bring it to pass. SI Parenthetically, the speaker paid a; tribute to parenthood and said that Its Joys were such that they never could be made up for other wise. He also said that the man or woman who deliberately plans to escape the res- panslblllties ot parenthood Is a trai tor to the race. The modem youth of both sexes, he said, are just as good as those of past generations. It Im tcelr lack if opportunity for proper association and guidance that is the trouble. This can be remedied only by putting more and more Into the community life to counteiset the evil environ ments. He had In mind community buildings which are being erected iu certain towns for the social, reli gious and recreational convenience of the young. His own church, he said, should have a nursery for the little ones, the public schools should have a kindergarten department and tne community should have a building as a recreational centre and a house for boys and girls. He urged the Ghamber of Commerce and the newly organized Notary and Xiwanls clubs to take up these maUers. When Christ said that It were better that n mill stone should be nu,i nhm,t D mnn'a iwrk mul he be cast Into the sea than that he should one th little nnoa it meant not only a positive offense but negative offences comprised in the do nothing attitude of a community. What sorroundins have we In Mon roe, where there is neuner para nor place for the young to go, nownere except the Btrcet coiners, he asked, that will tend to make our boys grow up as plants and fashion our daughters In the similitude of a pa lace? The small town that provides nothing for Its young Is the breed ing place for vlca. We talk of the cities, said Dr. Burreli, but it Is the universal testimony of city workers thnt the worse cases they Lave to deal with are men and women, who, as youths, spent their time aimlessly In the small towns and then drifted to the city to lead lives of vicious, ness.

STRIKING APPEAL FOR A GREAT NEED Mr. Thomas Gives a Discourse on the Beauty of Charity and Courtesy as Well FIVE DOLLARS PER MONTH This Small Amount Will Support a Starving Child and It Is Needed Without Further Delay By W. E. Thomas, Chairman It is to be supposed that one en gaged in a charitable undertaking should never complain of the stupidi ty of his helpers, of the Ingratitude of mankind, or of the inappreciatlon ot the public. These things, I sup pose, are all a part of the great game of lite, and to meet them and not go down before them In discour. agement end defeat is the final test of one's metal. But what Is one to do in behalf of a great work like the Near Beast Relief when he is confronted on all sides by hardnesi and untharitableness of heart? It requires much faith and courage to push onward in such a cause. One feels like complaining and is likely to become cynical. As local chairman of the Near East Belief in Union county I have met with seme courtesy and gener. osity, of course. Several people have voluntarily agreed to make donations to this great cause. Their names will be supplied later. A great many, however, hne been outspoken In their disfavor of this most humani tarian appeal that the world has ever known. What cause is greater or more worthy than the helping of lit tle children, of which the Kingdom of Heaven Is made? They say "we have folks right here In Union coun ty that are Just as bad off." We try gracefully to grant such, in all prob ability, to be the case, but we gen erally find that those who make such a plea aro not the ones who are do ing anything for the distressed peo ple even of their own county. We are rather of the opinion that a great many of these people use this pica as an excuse to refuse aid to the Near East Belief. Indeed, we have troubles and sor rows of our own! The poor and dis tressed we have with us always, but no one would undettake to say that .. In this nation, which of all the na tions of the world is the most pros perous and highly favored, there is one-hundidth, or even one.thous. andth part as much ot misery and suffering as is to be found In poor, suffering, heroic Armenia. There Is no greater Impulse that (Miiauutes f-oiii the human breast than carity. Charity Is lnve.

Likewise are those who do not believe the tales of suf fering and bitter tragedy that are told by the most responsible author ities who have seen the terrible con. ditions as they actually exist. Char ity rejoiceth in the truth. The Near East Relief Is unques tlonably a great cause. The greatest men of our age have most heartily endorsed It such men as Woodrow Wilson, President Harding, William Jennings Bryan, Lord Bryce, Lloyd George, Chief Justice Taft and in. numerable others. Our own senators and representatives have endorsed It Senator Overman, Senator Sim. mons; Congressmen Hammer, Pou, Stead men, Weaver, Doughton and Bulwinkle. These men are neither sentimentalist: nor credulous fools. Five dollars a month will open the door of one of our Armenian Or. phanages to some little homeless and parentles" boy or girl. Picture your own child being left In such a plight. Ono hundred dollars a year will feed, clothe and care for such a child. Ninety-five cents out of.every Collar cctually goes to these suffer ing rcople, the Near East Relief it so well administered. These children are taught various trades so that they can go out Into the world and become bread wlnnera. They are the men and women of tne new and bnter Armenia, which will always feel grateful to America for her help In time ot sore need. We owe it to ourselves as Christ ians to do our part to assuage th suffering and misery of those little children. It Is our duty. It should b our Pleasure.
