ROAD TO DECENT GOVERNMENT Cussing the government and politicians continues to be a favorite indoor sport. The wonder to us is that we get as good government as we do. Take the case of the State Legislature, to which repre- , sentatives will be nominated in the Democratic primary only a few weeks away. Al- . ready three candidates are in the field with the possibility that others will enter the race within a short time. There is important work to be done by the next session of the legislature, many , neeeded reforms- that are < going to take the best J thought of the most capable { men that we can elect. Even now deadly work of minori- 1 ty groups are threatening any progress that may be made toward better and : more efficient government. The United Dry Froces ; are sending candidates questionnaires as to their views with regard to liquor laws, with the implied threat that unless such candidates plead dry that the organization w 11 use its effort to their defeat. The sales tax crowd is frankly telling candidates ; that unless they pledge their support to repeal of the sales tat that thev are going to ' have opposition, while on the other hand the real estate bunch is telling the candidates that they must promise not to repeal the sales tax. The school teachers are bringing pressure to bear to have their pay increased ard its too bad for a candidate who does not show his sympathy toward their desires. The highway crowd is bringing pressure to bear to * have their pay restored. And so it goes through a long list, voters seemingly not giving a continental as to what happens to the state just so they can have their own axes ground. Well, as is usual, chances seem to favor the candidate who is most expert as sidestepping, straddling, and a /? f 1 1 evasion, ine iorm 01 political blackmail being used by minority groups almost demands this. Unfortunately, the side-stepper, the straddler and the evader seldom makes the best representative. When the millennium comes, then perhaps the voters, realizing their own limitations, will seek to choose as their representatives men in whose judgment and integrity they have confidence, and send them to the State Capital with no instructions other than to use their own judgment in obtaining the best possible legislation. And then, per Warrenton, North Carolina haps, we may be on the right road to decent government. ( Public Pulse | Readers are invited to contribute to this department. Articles should be written as briefly as possible > THE OLD SCHOOL MASTERS No man who ever attended the) schools of L. W. Bagley and Jno. I Giahani can deny that in those I days these old school masters were aandicapped by lack of modern jooks and equipment?such as we xiave now. Likewise can any student who ever attended these "Old Masters" deny that these tutors J jrought to light to their students I ,.iings that young students of today j Know nothing of. First, tney ineu o impress upon all of their students uhe importance of recognizing God is their leader, and the importance ;>f their duty to him. They taught >y chart the evil effects of narotics, liquors, beer, veneral diseases tnd self-abuse. When a student of heirs became 21 years old, he i cnew, or rather had a chance to irnow, what it was all about. The tudents of both of these old tutors an well recall the lectures they ,iave listened to by doctors from he state Asylum dwelling upon the vil effects of liquor, veneral diseases and self-abuse. The late I3r. L. J. Picot often lectured at the Ij. W. Bagley School upon the above evils of mankind, and his lectures vere very beneficial and impressive. Since, the crime rate of young men seems to be on the increase, i. e.. the average age 23 years, and many criminals below that age. It seems it is high time for our schools to pay more attention to more preventive education rather than so much cure-education. No man can ieny the old School Masters were " xmnro than jn tne rigm utttn., uv ? le can deny that crime is on the ncrease. JNO. P. LEACH. Littleton, N. C. UNJUST TAXATION AND BURDENS Editor, The Warren Record: No government or any unit of it | can function without revenue from some source. Our government depends to a great extent upon taxes and commodities imported and exported to and from this country, a I kind of invisible sales tax, the bur- I den of which is passed on and on until it reaches the consumer, whose vision does not reveal what a large! per cent of the purchase price goes for taxes. The same principle of taxation is much used by our State in collecting its revenue, from a sales tax of a slightly different kind. I refer to license taxes collected from tradespeople, comprising those of every profession from a bootblack up, who by good business methods must pass it along to his patrons, the same as good merchants do their freight and overhead expense and count it in the cost; whose patrons pay it not knowing that a part of the bill is tax?a process of painless extraction. A method in which a shock absorber is used, in effect somewhat like distance lessens the terrors of a thunderbolt. All license or privilege taxes are wrong and unfair that do not carry a guarantee of successful application within themselves, and by that I mean, that only successful operations should be taxed and then only according fo how it has succeeded. The Holy God requires only that of men which their talents justify. So, I say that ability to pay should be the basis of all taxation, and I know of no better definition of "ability to pay" than that fixed by income, including that from inheritance, possession of property, successful business tactics, salaries &c. Of course, unearned or incomes from ownership should be taxed at a higher rate than reasonable, or earned salaries of like amounts. Any great variation from this principle of taxation is not fair to the ones who by the labor of their hands produce the wealth of the urnrl H ^xrViinVi in on/i rvoTre +Vir? ? lliiivii AAA Utiu tliu J7UJ O VAAVs bill of costs of every human being. The one who makes cotton, or spins it, or weaves it or makes it into clothing creates wealth, but the traders who buys and sells it at a profit makes nothing nor creates anything, but takes a toll from that which someone else has made, as he and a transporter has a right to do in reason. They are necessary to successful agriculture and manufacture. Statistics show that 35 per cent of the people produce what 100 per cent use; that is, 65 per cent of the people live on the labor of the others and upon terms fixed by those who are not producers, hence taxes become a small part of the levy against those who grow and produce the wealth of the earth. Tricksters of every imaiginable standard and inclination have attached themselves to our economic structure with no interest in progress or advancement "only intent THE \ upon beating their ways in such J great volume and numbers that j laboring men are greatly overbur- j dened by it. j | So, I say taxation is a small part j I of our trouble, but it is a complex J imposition and becomes conspic- < uously more so when political < tricksters by superhuman artifices : try to increase the burden of it and j lessen its pain at the same time. Labor is the bulwark of prosperity and the foundation of established civilization and deserves the right , to prosper. Think it over. J. S. DAVIS.

RO YSTER Charlotte,N.C., Colt FIELD varren record I MOSTLY I PERSONAL i| E By BIGNALL JONES w : Hoover Carts have practically disappeared from our roads. Sunday, between Henderson and Durham, I saw one, the first in mapy weeks. A year ago over this same stretch of road I noticed at least a dozen. Automobile and truck traffic over this same route was at least triple what it was this time last year. However( I saw two bicycles being peddled along the road. This not only shows how the bicycle is returning in the way of a fad, but " -*1 1 ~ ~ norpiQrVQ aiso suggested to mc man i-.-..? at least two of the persons on that highway were using a form of transportation that they could really afford. Most of us have had the experience of wishing after a discussion that we had said this and that. I talked the other day, pleasantly enough with a farmer with whom I have always enjoyed friendly relations. Afterwards I wished that I had told him: "Yes, Bill. I can sympathize with your views; I know how you feel. You have worked for your farm, you have paid your taxes. You are proud of the fact that you have through your own efforts made your own way. Naturally, you resent the government or anybody else meddling with your affairs. You feel that you have not had to call upon the government, and you can't understand why anybody else should have to. I can sympathize with you, for I, too, hate all discipline. "But, Bill, after all, this is your country; the same one for which you donned the uniform only a few years ago, the one for which you evidently were willing to lay down vour life, if necessary. And now, it is in the duce of a fix. You among other citizen chose Roosevelt as your leader. His job is a hard one Perhaps, he doesn't know anymore what to do than you would were you to find yourself in his place. But he is trying to help you and every other farmer to a richer and a fuller life; and by helping you he plans to help thousands of citizens who live in our cities and who through no fault of their own have been thrown out of work. Bill; it must be pretty hard to tramp the streets day after day trying to find work; to return home at night discouraged and footsore; to see savings melting away, and to wonder what in the name of God you are going to do when they are gone. And when they are gone, to return to see the form of your wife wastng away for want of food, to see T ~ T? t I Bill l r IP* IF yo plant, early n J staple cotton tight now to Royster ex; fertilizer that |y studying c ed to give the there is to kn otton It took it.
