If the three provisions had been submitted in three proposals, the objection would doubtless have been exactly the reverse, and in that case entirely proper," says the News and Observer. "The three propositions are join ed together for the very simple rea son that they each and severally have to do with a single subject that of taxation. The limitation on proper ty cannot safely be cut to 15 cents unless the income tax is adopted. It ought not to remain at 66 2-3 cents if the income tax amendment is a dopted. The income tax, of adopted, will take the place of a considerable part of the possible property tax.

In that instance several sections were submitted as a single proposition and j properly so as they constituted pans of the whole.

THE NEGRO IN POLITICS For many years the Public Ledger has believed that the race issue, should not be raised in political cam paigns in North Carolina, and has consistently practiced that policy. It still believes that nothing should be done to force that issue upon the tax net income from all sources a bove exemption of not less than $2, 000 for married man or widow or nr;Tror h a vine dependent minor child of children, and to all other persons not less than $1,000- 2.

SAFE? attention, it would be tolly to run away from it. In a news despatch to one of the great New York papers a few days ago it was said: "The race problem in Indiana as in Kentucky and Ten nessee is Droving a source of anxiety to the Democratic leaders. The Re publican leaders frankly hope the ne gro vote will control the decision in not only Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri and Ohio, but in Tennessee." The writer 'then goes on to describe the efforts of these leaders to register and vote every possible negro in tlmse states. In reply to a question during his trip to Oklahoma Harding said: "You cannot give one right to a white man and deny the same right to a black man." This expression was in the midst of a speech in which he undertook to qualify and shift a bout on he. subject, but the expres sion remains and white men of the mnv readilv know What it OUUIU ii.VjJ -v-n V means. . ' " 2 'rue Republicans would have no chance whatever of carrying the states of New York, New Jersey, In diana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virgin ia, Maryland, Missouri or Illinois if va niTTAoe of those states did not vote almost as a unit for their ticket. If the negroes of those states would divide on the issues of the day as other portions of the population, there would be absolutely no doubt whatever of Cox's election. For many years the true friends of that race have been hoping thdt iri rtiRrnntinue voting in lilt J " mass. The race will always be-a me nace so long as it continues to vote as a unit. This year it is doing that more than ever. There are strange stories about Harding that may ac count for this, but in any event the fact remains. The moral ought to be an easy one for the white people of this state. The white race cannot afford to di vide unless the negro race aoes aiso. Regardless of other issues civiliza tion must be maintained. We submit these ideas for the con . sideration of the leaders of our par ty in state and county.
