Some folks have the idea that el

The cabinet committee is seeding

Why not try fair tariff law??
In the press of other matters, we
had almost forgotten that Tom Hef

American labor and farmers are
beginning to see the shun in protec

The trouble with stock market

The governor of Maine is to cam

The vice president says that the

54 marriages and 12 divorces in

people went over into Oeorgia to be
married.

The depression has reduced tlie1
number of marriages materially. It
takes brave and loving hearts to ?<?
happily to the altar during hard
times.
Repeal the tariff and end the de
pression, is the campaign speech oi
former Governor James M.Cox, of
Ohio, who was Democratic candidate
for president in 1920.
The tax receipts of the federal
government dropped off $62,471,504
during the quarter ending September
30, with the greatest decrease coming
in September. So the business depres
sion is making its impression on
Washing-ton!
The earthquake in Louisiana didn't

We invite all and sundry, who harp
about world peace and internal pros
jperitjf, to look at China and Brazil
[for the world peace, and to look at
lome for the prosperity.
The rejection of Judge Parker is
laving effect in the senatorial cam
paign in several states. In Ohio, and
Isewhere, where the negroes vote in
ionsiderable numbers, they are op

irmation of the North Carolina jur
ist.
Mr. Pritchard is evidently bas'ng
lis hope for elecion upon the snp
)osition that Democrats who support
sd Sen. Simmons will desert their
;icket. Personally, if we had voted
or Mr. Simmons, we would resent
ihe intimation that, when our man
ost out iu the race, we would violate
he expressed or implied pledge we
nade when we voted in the primary.
THE TAX CLASSIFICATION
One of the Constitutional amend
lents upon which the people will
illot at the election on November g,
rill be that to provide for the classi
Scation of intangible personal prop
erty, so that it will bear a preferred
ix rate.
Of course the purpose is obvious,
lere is a great deal of intangible
ersonal property, such as money,
stes, mortgages and other securities,
Jhat is not listed for taxation, and
le counties, municipalities lose n
eat deal of money" in ths way,
phieh, if collected, would lower the
lx rate on real estate annd visi
personal property! The amend
ent was designed to offef an in
ducement to owners of invisible prop
erty the honest.
, If a man owns intangible property
and fails to list it, he has taken the
amount of the tax on that property
from fie pockets of the other tax
payers, his neighbors.
The Journal is opposed to the
amendment for the reason that we be
Jieve that it is unfair and discrim
inatory as against the farmers and
other owners of r<;al estate; and that
a man who will falsify a tax list to
save himself $1.00 would do the same
thing for 50 cents, o
THE VETERANS' LOAN
The last general assembly put be
fore the people at the coming elec
tion a proposal to issue an additional
two million dollars in bonds to sup
pleinnt and increase the Veterans'
Loan Fund, whereby veterans of the
World War, the Spanish-American
War, and the Phillipine Insurrection
are enabled to borrow not in excess of
$3,000 from the State for the pur
pose of buying a home or a farm. The
money is loaned on twenty years
time, and is paid in small monthly
or, in the ease of farms, in semi
vnnual installments.
North Carolina is one of the few
states that did not pay its soldiers
a bonus out right. In lieu of thai,
North Carolina adopted the Loa i
Fund. The money is borrowed by the
State at 4 1-2 per cent and re-loaned
to the veterans .is six. It thus costs
the State nothing except the loan of
its credit. The plan has enabled many
veterans to ovn their own homes, and
pay for then;, receiving protection ci'
the. State from the "usury corpora
tions," obtairing the money at a re:i
sonable rate of interest.
There are r.ianv applications on file,
awaiting funds. Times are hard, and
the Veterans can buy real estate at
low prices, if they can get the money. I
Many of them are awaiting the ap- [
proval of th* people of the bond i>-|
sue for their only opportunity to own
a modest slk>e of the soil that they
defended, to dwell under their own
vine and fig tree.
Every safe guard is thrown abort
the State's money. The property i*
appraised by men who know the value
of real estate in the loealit'es whore
the loans are made, ami the money is
secured hv a first mortgage on good.
North Carolina real estate.
When you go to the election, don't
foiget to vote for the bunds, the Vet-i
forsret to vote for the bonds, the Vet
cost the tax-payers nothing.
