ranging from «2 to t4 a gallon last
year, C. B. WHHaaxi of A* DtfWtn of
Agronomy, states that there ikoald be
[ sufficient sirup produced this Mason
in the countien of A»he, Wautauga,
and Avery to hrinf in an income of
$1 ,£00,000 at a very ermservative
estimate.
Last year the Linville Improvement
Company, of Linville. purchased new
equipment far the working of two
hundred maple trees to teat the pos
sible profit. The results of this experi
ment were food, considering the saas
. on and the fact that the work was
closed too early.
"In a successful sugar-maple oper
ation," states Mr. Williams, "the spil
es should not be drawn and the equip
ment pot op until after the maple
buds have swolen quite extensively, as
• lata frwi< and thaw may bring the
best run of the season any time pre
vious to the opening of the buds. Such
was th* caas last ssason, following a
freeze in early April. Many orchards
lost this flow of ssp, as they Sad
already taken the equipment.
"Last season was a poor one for
maple sugar and sirup in all parts of
the United States, the periods of
freezing and thawing weather being
too few. The price* received by the
operators, however, made up to them
the loss from a decreased production.
"A large number of owners of grov
es have already signified their inten
tion of operating this season, and they
will be given all possible encourage
ment to secure this great wealth
which is now being lost by the ownets
and the State."

Will Woum Voters B« Subject
To PoB Tax?
A. L, Brooks bi Graeaaboro Ntwi:
There Ku b**n mi effort to f rigfcten
til* wm fhMi veefhg when they ob
tain tkt ballot by aaasiting that they
wouM ha** to pay a poll tax. Aa tba
poll tax ha* not frightened men away
f-om the ballot box it will not friirbten
the women. But there i* a complete
r.nswer to thia threat.
The Constitution Art. V. see. 1 pro
vides: "The General Assembly (hall
levy • capitation tax on every male
inhabitant of the state over 21 and un
der SO year* of ag*."
The XIX Amendment does not pur
port to affect in any way the poll tax
which in purely a matter of state reg
ulation and therefore the adoption of
that Amendment will not strik* the
word male oat of the constitutional
provialon which require* a poll tax
only on "males."
Cona. Art. VI. sea. 1 preacribea
"Every male person bom in the Unit
ed State* and every mala paraon who
ha a b«*n naturalized 21 yaara of an*
and poes**sing the qualification aet
out in thia article ahall be entitled to
i vote at any election by the people in
the state, except aa herein otherwise
provided." The XIt Amendment will
| strike the word 'male' out of that sec
tion because it prohibits and discrimi
nation "or account of sex" so that
"every person" (instead of evq(rv
"male person") etc., will be entitled
to vote.
Art. VI. sec. 4 requires that every
person presenting himself for regis
tration shall be able to read, etc., and
shall have paid on or before the firat
of May of that yenr "Hi* poll tax for
the previoua year, a* prescribed by
Art. V. sec. 1 of the Crestitution."
Now, turn to Art. V. sec. 1 and you
will find that the poll tax i* only re
quired of "Male persona,"and the XIX
Amendment will in nowia* affect that
section or impoee a poll tax upon any
one except a* provided In that section,
i.*. "on male persons."

Abolishes ~Sapd liaoi"
The reorganization plan aa an- j
nouaced hare today has the effect of;
abolishing the titlo of "supervisor" of'
internal revenue which was held by,
Col. Watts. Under the announced ar
rangement. which was brought about'
after long conferencoa between Com
missioner Roper and Senators Sim
mons and Overman, Collector Josiah
W, Railey will be the principal tax
rollecting officer in the state. Sheriff
liaynea will be a field agent in charge
of the various Held officers and invea
tigators; Col. Manley McDowell will
be practically a chief in the income tax
field, paying particular attention to
this part of the government's revenu
es, and Col. Vandorford wiil be the
federal officer to trail the moonshiner
and the bootlegger.
The revenue service reorganization
in North Carolina haa hung fire since
the resignation of Col. Watts and
i it ia understood that it has worried
the North Carolina senators quite a
. bit. The desire was to satisfy every*
body and at the same time provide for
a distribution of the tax-collecting
machinery throughout tho state. With
offices at Salisbury, Greensboro, Ral
eigh and Stateoville, it U felt that the
demand haa been fairly well met. I

sd the honors of the dinner with Cfctir

quiry hrt* the «ort of the K*»y fan the
recent war and brought the diner* to
their feet when he mM that the Inves
tigators would find only that the
Nary waa Hound to the core and effi
cient to the highest degree.
Hie bottling up of the German sub
marinea through the now fsssoos
North Sea barrage waa cited by Sec
retary Daniels as one of the Navy'*
Treat feata in the war, and he gave
credit for this daring venture to Free
ident Wilson, who, he said, had first
proposed getting the U-boats in their
nests, in a memorable speech to the
officer* of the Nary on the quarter
deck of Admiral Kayo's flagship just
before the fleet scattered over the
ocean to combat the enemy. To Ad
miral Earte, the Secretary gave the
credit for actually working oat the
successful barrage plan.
Recently prominent woman suffrage
workers came to Washington from
western states to serve notice on their
Republican friends that the nomina
tion of an Old Guard leader for the
Presidency would loee them many
thousanda of women voters next Nov
ember. The impression that the Re
publican! have mr.de up their minds
to name for standard bearer in the
coming campaign* a man of the stand
pat type haa gone abroad, and th« suf
fragists visited Senators and Repre
sentatives to serve notice that they
are riding for a fall if they c^it-v out
their alleged purpose.
The Old Guard is afraid o4 the
toman voter but it will net give up
its program for a revival of the good
old protection days. The group of
part/ workers dominated by Senator
Boies Penroee will control the next
Republican national convention, and
name the man the t oaasa can use. It Is
this very thing that the soffragWta
fear.
Members of Ccngress from pro
graasiva atatea are alarmed over the
drift that wrecked their party ten
years ago, but they are afraid to make
any outcry last they stir up trouble
for themselves. The wwi are net
afraid to state their views.
