February 13 1913 AS TO TAXES. If there was more equalization in the tax assessment in North Carolina, there would be less complaint about a deficit in the States finances, and there would be more funds to educate the poor children of the State. It is not because there is not enough taxeable property, and perhaps it is not because the ratio of taxation is not surficent, but it is because there are so many dishonest unscrupelous tax dodgers in the State, and because a laxaty of the enforcement of the law makes it posible to dodge the taxes. Take for instance the farmer of moderate means, they own but little comparatively, and they honestly make a show of what they have, but the fellow who has surficient property to help bear the burden of the support of ihe institutions of his State, thinks his taxes amount to much, and he usualy contrives in some way to get a heavy shading off of his taxes, cr upon some items escapes entirely. To illustrate tha matter in its most flagrant offence. We would say we were at Hillsboro a few days ago, and were told that there was a man in Orange County 'who posibly owned as much as twenty five thousand dollars in personal property, stocks, bonds, notes etc, who paid taxes on only one hundred and fifty dollars. Now we regarded this man as a tax dodger from away back, and we asked if there was no way to reach him, we were told, yes, that unless he gave in his mortagages for taxes he could not enforce collection upon them. But the question is who knows whether he has given them in, or not, the transcript will show, or should show, but only the man who owes a mortgage and is interested in evading the pay ment of it would put him self to the trouble to find out, and there you are with millions of unlisted taxes on personal property escaping any burden in the support of the State government. Of course that piratical crew at Raleigh are only interested in making soft seats for their friends and in creasing salaries. We do not mean to say that all are so disposed, but the number is surficent to make them selves felt as an effective force in defeating wholesome Legislation.

It would appear that there was a certain element in Aiken, S. C., that had an inordinate itching to get in the lime light, to have framed up such a story against Frederick 0, Beach, when they undertook to charge him with an assault upon his wife, which she emphaticaly rep>idiates. It was an unusual proceeding, and one that should have had unquestioned testimony to support it before the charge was even made. If innocent, as Beach appears to he, it only goes to illustrate how visionary some people may be when trying to support a sensational canard. Start a lot of canaries chirping, and they have but little in finding something to chirp about. Acquited of the charge of coromitingr a murderous assault upon his wife.
