WE CALL ATTENTION
TO TAXATION ARTICLE
The administrative cost o
government in North Caro
lina is perhaps lower thai
any state in the union an<
it is debt service that is tax
ing the citizens of the coun
ty, S. H. Hobbs Jr., says ii
an article on "Taxation ii
| North Carolina", carried 01
pagtt 6 of this week's War
ren Record. Mr. Hobbs dis
cussed at length the factor
going to make up the budge
of the state and the source
of taxation from which th<
necessary funds must be de
rived. Claiming that th<
article is purely factoral h<
says that the citizens must
through their represents
tives, decide on methods
and issues.
We call particular attention
to this article and trusl
that our citizens will studj
tha facts nresented that the^
may have a clearer grasi
of the problems facing the
legislature and other gov
erning officials.
NOT SURPRISING THAT
POWER RATES STAY UP
Editing a weekly news
paper in a town filled with
the relatives and friends o
George G. Allen, and with
personal knowledge of the
many acts of benevolence
and kindness performed by
him to Warrenton people
we would be inclined to be
the last to say that he is nol
worth the $60,000 annually
paid him for part time services
rendered the. Duke Power
Co.
But when we see that nine
men managing this company
receive a total annual salary
of $288,861.29, somehow il
does not make it easier tc
pay our monthly power bill;
resistance t o governmenl
control of the industry is
rapidly weakened. If this is
a fair sample of practices oi
the power companies, we begin
to catch a glimmer oJ
the reason that power rates
do not come down; and il
is with renewed interesl
that we shall watch the experiment
of the governmenl
in the Tennessee valley under
the supervision of a mar
who receives but $75,00(
annually as president of th<
United States.
BUSINESS LEADERS
SHOULD NOT BERATE
Insull, former power mag
ns.te, a fugitive from justice
Luke Lea and and son, bank
ers, dodging court proced
ure; Charles Mitchell, chair
man of the board of one. o:

ration for his bank; a $200,000,000
income tax suit being
brought against Andrew
? Mellon, third richest man in
the world, are high lights in
the fall of the once mighty.
Add to this the spectacle
of business leaders hurrying
down to Washington telling
the Senators that the budget
- must be balanced and the
? I guffaws of the solons when
examinations brings forth
the startling fact that these
advisors can neither tell
m what goes to make up the
government's budget nor
suggest practical ways for its
reductions.
In view of the spectacle
that "big business" has made
of itself during the past few
years, may we humbly sug
gest that it might be well
for big business leaders to
remove the beam from their
own eyes before trying to
f cast out the moat from the
>- eyes of its political leaders.

1 A NEGATIVE LESSON
_ Greensboro Daily News.
The general assembly of North
~ Carolina, in all the confusion with
3 which it may be beset, has at least
t supplied concrete evidence of how ?
3 the tariff problem, already com- t
plicated by predominance) of state
' and sectional instead of national
- and international views, is not to a
j be solved. s
Several days ago, almost simul. \
3 taneously with President-elect Roo- j
, sevelt's election of Senator Cordell v
. Hull as the next secretary of state, r
largely because of his intimate j
of tariff intricacies and his recog- c
nized ability to negotiation of recL t
. procal trade agreements in line with s
[- the avowed Democratic program of a
tariff revision, the Tar Heel senate, ii
r overwhelmingly of the same politiT
cal faith as thq next chief executive,
) stepped out of its party role to sus- s
, pend the rules and pass a resolution r
' which asked members of the state 0
delegation in Congress to oppose c
any reduction; of existing rates up- e
on fruits and vegetables. The re_ t
quest was passed with such rapidity e
that North Carolina legislators
hardly had time to consider the c
right of every ether assembly to j.
make similar demands concerning v
i commodities in which its state is in- ?
terested and the hope-Jess jumble, r
with selfishness the major compon- ^
1 ent, in which such action would v
> result. n
> Subsequently, the house, not to be
outdone by the group acrcss the
r hall, received a resolution which ..
, would ask Congress to declare a t
, tariff on jute. Some interest in the .
' state directly concerned asked a f
^ public hearing on the proposal so
r that final action has been held in f
. abeyance. Ultimate decision, whatever
it may be, will not remove the ^
spirit which exists, a spirit which
calls for protection of pet commodi.
5 ties to the subordination of nation- g
r al welfare and the intelligent real- i]
lzation that what serves the whole t!
r nation will, in the final analysis, f:
t be cf greatest benefit to every part v
, thereof. t:
The tariff is in mess enough as it
' is, without 48 state legislatures stick- A
* ing their paws into it; that too just S;
I as though they had no problems of h
I their own to require undivided at. t:
. tention of their faculties. ^

Mr. Howard Alston, manager of *
l the Warrenton Department Store, ?
j and I rode down near Hudgins
bridge to watch a steam shovel work.
' It was my firsl close-up of one of
these machines in operation and
proved very interesting as it dug
into an embankment and swung
around with half a truck of dirt,
doing the work of perhaps 50 men
with shovel and pick.
; The steam shovel started a train
of thoughts:
Let 50 men represent the nation's
" population, and excavation the com.
- bined tasks of the country. Fifty
f men using only picks and shovels
working 12 hours a day could find
3 steady employment here, or one
~ man could use the machine and
g 49 could be idle. One school of
thought would scrap the machine
to solve the unempoyment problem;
8 another would let each man work
,1 the machine for a few minutes a
k day. Steadily decreasing hours
should be the answer to steadily
i_ I mounting unemployment. The real |
-(problem is the wise usei of leisure

Hudgins creek road has long been
i favorite drive for courting couples,
ind it is rumored that the bridge
las been a likely parking place,
toad and bridge will be abandoned
vhen the state completes the new
oad to Louisburg. Some of the
oung fellows have jokingly spoken
if a benefit dance for the mainenance
of road and bridge for
ocial purposes. One suggested that
, foundation should be created for
ts permanent retention.
Two men in Warren County have
tated to mg this year that they did
ict mind paying their taxes. One
f them was J. William Limer, the
ither T. E. Powell. Both are famirs
Both exnlained that thev felt
hat they were getting their mon.
y's worth for their tax dollar.
Mr. Powell said that his father
wned a thousand acres of land and
lis tax on this was $30 a year, paid
irith the greatest difficulty each
ear after much scuffling and delial.
He stated that they obtained
ittle public service and wondered
irhat the county did with the
aoney.
The discussion started when he
old about a school book he used
n 1869 and I asked him how much
uition he had to pay? He replied
hat he remembered taking Mr.
Jray two ten dollar gold pieces, but
ould not remember whether it was
cr half or full year's tuition, but
/as inclined to believe it was for
ialf term.
Years passed, interest begin to
row in public education and with
icreasing educational opportunity
ax begin to rise. Mr. Powell had
Lve children. Every one of them
/ent through high school and with
his start managed to go through
he best colleges in this country.
J1 of them today are making good
alaries. Mr. Powell said that if it
ad not been for the public schools
hat he would not have been able to
ducate his children and that they
,'ould have been denied the satisacticn
of increased knowledge and
/ith it increased earning capacity.
Mr. Powell's children have all
een educated. He no longer reeives
any direct benefit from the
axes he pays toward the main,
enance of schools; he is now payng
to help educate other's chil[ren,
but he takes pride each year
n trying to be the first citizen of
he county to pay his taxes.

LESSON
CharUsE.Dunn
Jesus Shows His Power. Lessen
for March 5th. Mark 4:355.8.
Golden Text: 2 Timothy 1:
1Z.
The first part of our lesson is
the dramatic episode of the tired
Jesus asleep in a storm. We picture
Him, spent in body and soul, sound
asleep on a cushion in the stern
of the little vessel, unaware of the
raging elements. We visualize also
these panic-stricken disciples, unable
to cope with the pounding
waves, despite their expert seamanship.
In vain are their valiant at.
tempts to preserve the boat's balance.
The water persists on coming
in, thereby threatening to swamp
the shallop, and drown them all.
Hastily awakening Jesus, they appeal,
in terror, for His aid. "Master"
they cry, "does it make no difference
to you that we are sinking?" Rous,
ing Himself. He rebukes the wind.
"Silence!" is His command. "Be,
still!" The wind dies. It is calm.
Then follows the most significant
touch in this exciting incident, that
striking question, so characteristic
of the Master. "Why are you afraid?
Have you still no faith? An eminent
New Testament scolar holds that
the entire gospel is contained within
the words, ''Pear not, only believe!"
Josus had an excess of faith
in God. He was never afraid, because
He was perfectly sure He
was safe in the hands of God. How
much our groping, confused, tearful,
bedevilled generation needs to cast
itself upon the merciful care of the

us a fuller description of this ma, I
