fK If The Look By JOHN A. Ln I neMacLeaii law, which provides cj .ae state support of the con- 5 'Tional six months schOGl term, g becn laid on the door step of b I f institutional Commission. It tj I jronscred this time by Congress- i( L Lindsay Warren, of the First t? Ksuict one of the most astute polL p mans in North Carolina- Particu- ? ^Kuiaterest attaches to his support }i:s incorporation into the State constiution because he is support jg- c- B- Erin&haus> of Elizabeth ^ city, i?r Governor. If of course Congressman Warren, p H(,0 is a member of the Constitu. e Hnonal Commission was speaking s U $ himself, but he had the endorse n If of the author of the MacLean a II hir. who has bean mentioned prcm. n T<. ?ro_ ^ If icently for Governs. |l undc-stood that Mr. MacLean h ll^ui,! not run, if Mr. Daniels got t H into tlie race for governor, and the a 11^ of getting lrim into the race a fpeff out of the doubt that the latIIjer would run. | The main plank in the platform n || cf either Mr. MacLean or Mr. Dan_ s Hieis would be State support of a c |f as months school term without an f |f si valoren property tax. It was g |f their fight in the last Legislature e || that resulted in cutting the, pro|f rosec State ad valorem tax from |f thirty to fifteen cents. The real i || tattle now is over the question of r || when the entirq ad valorem rate s || shall he taken oflf. Leaders on all j || sides are now committed in prin- 1 || ciple to the MacLean law. i II Much has been said about ad r |f valorem taxes without ever explain, j |f eg the moaning of this Latin term. 11 |f ]: meaus "according to value." An j || aa valorem tax is one levied upon i || property values. The significance j || cf the recqnt fight over the reIB duct.on of ad valorem taxes lies in i - II the fact that unui very revenue ., IV practically all taxes were levied t VI ttpoti that basis. Now taxes are also 1 iU Taid on incomes. Therq aire also li- i || arse and franchise taxes, the i l| .fanner being for the privilege of I || <l-.<ing business and the latter also Is M hem? upon some privelqge such as 11 l| operating a railroad through a par. ? itcular territory. t | North Carolina has charged ( | Sam a predominantly agricultural < State to a predominantly industrial 1 I State, A factory oi comparatively 1 I small value may turn out in the) I course of a year merchandise many f J I tmes its valuq and make large lnI comes for its owners. Hence an in come tax is much fairer because if ^V i? income is earned, then no taxes H ire payable. On the other hand, t ;f a large income is made, then a r I large tax will be collectedi but this 1 I nil not work a hardship unless the 1 ratio or percentage is large. An tn_ I come tax is the fairest of all taxes. I H The change from an agricultural I to an industrial State has brought < in its train a multitude of tax < I froblqms. but the general priiici- < * re ic i (ye is as nas oseu uuumtu. . ? a changed basis of taxes. While much has been made of the justice 1 of taxati?n, the facts are that taxes 1 arc levied for only one purpose and ' oat is to get money with which to cany on schools, to support State 5 institutions and to defray the gen- 1 cral public expense. There is no 1 ether excuse for collecting taxes, end since everybody objects to pay. , ^ :axes. it becomes a problem of " taxes so that they work the hardship upon the public as a "hole.

State craft hinge arovu^ t e and collection of u one accord everybody ; ::e refl'ain: "i pray y,hee nave ^ excused." ^ significance of the chama rnemh ?f the MacLean law by Comm, er of the Constitutional Jaw* lies in the fact that it o'thp mucb funeral acceptance) hous'lv Imciple that it is beingt se-l the i oposeti as a part not only] j the fm,ri of the land but also of I iu uiiange me von^B ^uoa. ij the MacLean law is ^ constitution, it means ^B ; at a aw policy of State governI lfot will have been irrejvocably H ^-ablished. 1 nJrt rea^e ' 'hat this means it I tvf ^ ta^en int? consideration tut'0nli a yeav a"? tlie Liegislalat ^ gathering.

To e sure, it isn't yet in the Constitu.on, and cannot bjcome a part of ; unless submitted by the next leg;lature and then adopted by the eopQe. But it has powerful backing ow. There was also proposed by Conressman Warren another amendlent to the Constitution to make be State Board cf Education the eal administrative board for suprvision of the S;ate system of chools. The allocation of funds is ow in the hands cf the State Equlization Board, but that body does iot have the standing that the itate Board of Education would iave because it is not a constituLonal body. Nor is it felt that it is s truly representative of the State s the board wculd be. As Renresentath e MacLean put 5, the proposed rnw board for administration would have the same tanding as the State Highway Commission now has. It would act or the State, but it would be oranized to reflect Ihe viewpoints of very section of ti e State. Another interesting development las been the chg mpionship of a lew administrative board by repreentatives of the teachers. They played hands off in the last Legisature, but they ha"e on their fight, ng clothes now. rhey are laying he foimdations fcr taking a proninent part in the development of public sentiment. This will bring ;he schools to the front as a campaign issue. Cand .dates for office nust take a stand. That is the real purpose of their present activities. Schools have been taken fas a .natter of course so long that the teachers have felt in recent years hat they could cevote themselves ;o teaching and not bother about politics. They woke up to find that inless they did get actively into politics that the schools might be ;acrificed in the fights between representatives of other interests, not o modest. The teachers are now in ;he political conilict up to their :ars. They have found that modesty ioesn't push one to the front in politics. It is those who fight that rave to be reckoned with. d-2 c..:t A ?:??4. nng? iJUU ngamoi Texas Ball Club m ?

They I wanted to be as untrammeled and I free as the birds along the streams where no civilized man had gone. They were determined on a detno. ciacy and an open Bible. Gieat hardships awaited them. They left the civilized portions of the earth for an immense unbroken forest. There were no homes awaiting them, and no food but fish and game and wild fruits. There were no people they might go among but scattered tribes of hostile warriors. Every circumstance was discouraging. However it was a land of boundless resources into which they liad come. They quickly built log cabins, cleared a little land and put it into rough tillage, ate the meat of bfar and deer and made the skins of these animals into clothing, fought off Indians and wild beasts and lived hard. There was the roughness of the frontier but many trusted in a higher power and the gospel was preached in the open air and in the private houses and in churches which were generally kg meeting houses. When the Revolutionary War broke out it was found that the churches had given the people brave hearts and that they were ieady to stake their all and pledge their lives for religious as well as civil liberty.
