That Justice May Ever Have A

of Congress of 1879.

Love and reverence the ideal;

BETTER INVESTIGATE
$1,000 EXEMPTION
In an editorial in the current
issue of The Progressive
Farmer, Dr. Clarence Poe,
editor, and one of the lead.
ers of the South, concludes
his article by stating that
"under the revised constitution
the road to definite relief
for small taxpayers is
opened in the provision that
would permit a tax exemp- i
tion of $1,000 on homes and
higher taxes on great in- ?
comes." t
The. $1,000 home exemp- 8
tion clause of the proposed ?
constitution wins a warm 0
spot in the heart of many a c
citizen who reflects that it 1
would be pretty nice to have *
his valuations cut by a thous- 0
and dollars and the burden f
shifted to other shoulders.
With only a superficial
study of the matter, we. are
forced to doubt the wisdom
of the adoption of such a t
clause, both from a standpoint
of equity and result.
The proposed tax on great
iincomes would, we presume,
j?o into the state treasury
and the burden of carrying
on pureJy county affairs fall
upon property. A thousand
dollar exemption on two
thousand homes in Warren
county now bearing their
proportionate part of the tax
bill would chop off a couple
million dollars in valuations,
more than 20 per cent, and
would it seem mean an automatic
raise in the rate of
more than 20 per cent to <
compensate. The class of *
those who bear no part in
the cost of government and
feel little responsibility for
its administration would
grow, and the burden on the
substantial, hard working,
!LI. _;j.;
responsiuie ciuziciib ui mc
county would be increased.
We hope that no too hasty
effort will be made to remove
the tax on property,
for fear that it will prove a
boomerang. If we have sufficiently
learned our lesson
during the depression, we
will be slow to vote any further
bond issues, and the
need for such now seems little.
In that event, present
bonds will be paid off within
a few years, and then the
tax rate in this county should
not be burdensome to anyone.
But there is great danger
in increasing the number
of the class who pay no
property tax. If this group
becomes sufficiently large,
it seems to us, that they, with
nothing to lose, will not be
very reluctant to pile; up
debts for the more fortunate
cIars to nftv. anrl acain we
may be saddled with bond
issues?and this time without
tha excuse of necessity.
In the old days of the Jewish
nation when church and
state were one, the word
went out to let each man pay
a tenth according as the
Warren ton, North Carolina
Lord had propered him. To- *
day when a man is strug- |
gling along finding it diffi- |
cult to make both ends meet, |
we would not expect him to jj
contribute much to the sup- |
port of his government, but *
we would like for each man
to do what little he could to- ?
ward the payment of the C!
costs of that which benefits 2
him. We would like this not "
so much as a revenue measure
as for a cradle for the c
c
development of responsible E
citizenship and character, 1
tending to destroy to some E
degree what is possibly the
worst curse in America to- 1
day, the itch to get something
for nothing. ?

I like the thought expressed in

aused Dorothy B. Cheek of Route t

For My Dad": r
ONLY A DAD r
inly a dad, with a tired face 1
loming home from the daily Tace, e
tringing little of gold or fame I
'o show how well he has played j
the game, j
(ut glad in his heart that his own
rejoice f
'o see him come and to hear his ^
voice. I
i
inly a dad. of a brood of four, (
ine of ten million men or more;
"lodding along in the daily strife,

life

C
inly a dad, neither rich nor proud,
lerely one of the surging crowd,
oiling, striving, from day to day, v
"acing whatever may come his way; *
ilent whenever the harsh condemn. I
.nd bearing it all for the love of ?
them. ^
?nly a d.ad, but he gives his all
'o smooth the way for his children k
small, f

grim,
he deeds that his father did for
him. r
his is the line that for him I pen, j
nly a dad, but the best of men.
U
My taste in reading becomes
ten depraved and I turn to that y
rpe of literature neither to be t
>und in Dr. Elliot's Five Foot v
belf nor recommended by the lit- t
ature highbrows. Usually, Miss c
[abel Davis, the Librarian of the s
barren County Memorial Library, o
sscues me with a recommendation e
; some magazine or book that she t
ants me to read and I am always b
(paid for following her sugestion. f
his week she supplied me with a t
>uple of Harper's Magazines, and a
fterwards I became interested in
four Square," a book written by
psychiatrist, giving his impression "
t crime from the mental stand- ]
Dint and his reactions after deal
ig with criminals for a dozen or
tore years. It is intensely interestig(
well worth reading and I think
may be found in the library.
My favorite reading matter i.i
twer class literature is to be found
1 the Western Story Magazines,
he heroes and heroines are always
aragons of all the virtues, right
Iways triumphs, and the best or 1
le worst than can be said of them
that they are nothing but grown- ,
p fairy tales.
After reading through a dozen <>c ;
lore of this type magazines conlining
stories about as much alike
s peas in a pod, I picked up one
f Ethel M. Dell's love stories, "Top
f the World," I believe it was. I
as struck by the similarity bejveen
this book and the Western
iories. What the western writers
o for action she does for love?

he scene of both Is the land of
aake-believe.
The principal difference I have
ound between good and bad literaure
is that the former causes one
o think, enlarges his viewpoint, his
nterests, and broadens his undertanding.
Taste in literature, like everyhing
else, varies with the individlal.
Personally I think Harper's is
he best of the current American
nagazines; that Crime and Punishnent
by Dostoevski is the greatest
lovel I ever read, and an off-hand
1st of the ten best books I have
ver read would include: Crime and
'unishment, Dostoevski; Brothers
Caramozov) Dostaevski; The Bible;
..ife of Jesus, Renan; David Copterfield,
Dickens; Ivan, the Pool,
Tolstoy; A happy Boy, Bjornson;
