' Aj one of the evil reralte ef the ' present tye tem of making aaaeaamenU for taxa tion, more than half the counties in the State annually drawn out of the State Treasury more money than they pay Into it, thua placing- a very unjust and heavy burden upon those counties that; collect and pay into the State Treasury their just and full share of taxes. To remedy this growing evil, the General Assembly may have to create a State tax com' mission, one of whose duties will be to enforce Just and equal asset menU of real and personal property for taxation In all the several coun ties of the State. It appears that In many counties property , is assessed at a ridiculously lew rate, while in a number of others it is possibly high enough. The work of the proposed State Tax Commission would be to establish and enforce an equal rate of assessments 4naH the counties. The individual ' tax dodger is bad enough, bat when it comes to whole counties and groups of counties hab itually dodging their Just and fair share of the burden of taxation and then bleeding the other counties for a large part of their running ex penses, it is high time for the Legis lature to seek some remedy for the trouble.

Perkins of TeusAsslstaoce of ,tew:?:pcn Necessary in the . Prosjotloa of Public ti- : terprises.' State Senator Tom W. Perkins, of Texas, delivered an address before the Texas Commercial Secretaries' club a short time ago, taking as his subject, "The Newspaper In State Development." Senator Perkins said in part:." "There Is not a worth) cause today of any kind that is not dependent in a large degree on the newspapers for its very existence. Shut off the print ing press and the publicity and as sistance it gives to the church, the school,' the reform movements, the industrial enterprises, the social or ganizations, the fraternal societies and every other agency of progress and development and we should have a nation of people groping in dark ness, feeling feebly for each other's hand and trying to reach a common understanding by slow and painful effort, with snail-like progress' and infinitesimal results. .' - . . "Today a man speaks for a great cause. Tomorrow his words settn motion influence thousand of miles away. He speaks here to hundreds, speaks to millions in every state in the Union. Here his words fall on ears: there they fall under the eyes and become luminous with meaning and. inspire enthusiasm for tho cause where perhaps but for newspapers it would have never been given a thought So it is true of the develop ment of the material things, of the industrial and commercial enterpises that it is desired shall take from and become factors in the progress of the state.- - ;;" "By means of the newspaper there are influences brought to bear that could not be reached in any other manner that would never have even been known to be in existence but for the publicity given the idea by the newspaper. If a powerful factor and to worthy enterprises. It is no less a factor and benefit in the de struction of unworthy and dishonest enterprises and agencies that would exploit the people for corruptly got. ten gain. Here the newspaper shows itself to be of inestimable value in protecting the good, and by contrast, destroying the evil. . "The newspaper of today is not yet perfect, but as the years go by it becomes more and more an agency for good and a foe to the bad, for the dishonest man fears the honesty conducted newspaper as he fears the broad light of the sun when trying to break into a house. The blare of publicity as given by the unmuzzled journals that mould public opinion has scorched and withered many a vicious scheme, Bent many a scoun drel scurrying to obscurity, saved multiplied thousands to those who else would have been deceived and robbed and brought to the bar of justice many a criminal who else would have gone unwhipped of jus tice.- ! ;;i :'s:;-.'vv-" V:?';'-: "The first step always in promot ing any public enterprise is to enlist the newspaper. If this is done the problem is greatly simplified, for the sympathizer Twith the' proposed measure has had to talk to the news paper man and the matter is set be fore the public in the most favorable light possible consistent with the editor's sense of duty to his patrons, and the man who is not a patron of hishomepaper is seldom considered." , Solves a Deep Mystery.

Since the' prin cipal .laborers for the Southern farmers are the ; wgroes, let us briefly consider the negro as a lab orer, without discujeing the race problem. The labor iproblem can be solved. How? Fimply by paying them wages and having them con form to your order as is the case with the employes of the banker, merchant and all whp conduct bus! ness upon business principles. We can never have intensive and ex ten sive and prosperous farming as long as we advance )and, team and all other supplies to irresponsible and incompetent laborers. The ten ant system has proven a dismal fail ure to the Southern) land owners the run-down condition of our large irms testifies. J ' r . TIia fannnt wnrlrtf nn a iAi-fainfv for he is receiving advances that you are making on an vhcertainty. . He and his mule, with his management, do not produce tho crop upon 30 acres that should be produced upon fifteen acres. He must plant pea nuts and cotton to pay the merchant that you have endorsed to for hay, corn and meat at a high price, and glut the market with, his cotton and peanuts for two momhs of the year. He has worked upon your land and capital, while the. speculator has watched conditions and named prices both ways for. what' he buys and ells. '' t h" -,v- . rV.'H-."-'.- ; The negro race is r (tindly dfspos- ed people, but we all know that they must be kept under restraint Their labor, or any other commodity that they have, commands the cash, and yet our land-owners are advancing twelve long months ahead of their work which is so often done in a slip shod manner. , They are a shifting people and with their poor manage ment and large bills often leave the land-owner much worse off than they found him. ' With few exceptions, the man with no capital should work for wages, whether he is employed by the mer chant, factory or farmer. Let him prove that he is capable and worthy of using another's capital before it is advanced to him. The , worthy man can do this in any line of busi ness and the unworthy one should only be entitled to what his efforts produce. It is absurd to advance $300 per year to a $100 ; man, and yet we know that this is often done. Slack management does not mean prosperity for either employer or employes. It is not pleasant to ac knowledge, but we Southern land owners are very gulible and are al lowing our laborers to dictate how they will or not work. - 5 What is the remedy! Let the ten ant go, raise stock, buy modern ma chinery, make one acre produce as much as your tenant produced on two or three, and sell; if . you can, every acre of land that you cannot control or utlize to any. advantage. Observe these few simple rules and then if you have some surplus money or land and you want to deal in futures on eotton or "peanuts, buy "spots" in paying cash for your la bor to 'make them and when the speculator wants to buy, let him buy from you and not from your mer chant who has been advancing to your tenant, the peanuts are not yours or his either. They belong to the merchant, and he is only inter ested to the amount of his claim. If any of our readers, Mr. Editor know how the land-owner can make money from the tenant system, have them to speak out-and tell how it can be done an they will prove public benefactors. CP.

Har. oony Prevails. 7 Washington, D. C, Jan. 16th. Representative Pou, in a statement issued today, tells of his retirement from the Ways and Means Commit tee of the House and his reason therefor. It is a patriotic declara tion and will be perused with inter est Mr. Pou's statement follows: "Before the holiday recess and be fore there was any suggestion of op position to the Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee, who voted against free lumber, it was agreed between Mr. Clark and myself that I would probably go off the Ways and Means Committee if he gave me certain', assignments which he had in view and which were very much preferred . by me. The suggestion that I ought to go off the committe in that event came from me. When it was announced that no man who voted as I did could remain on the committee I thought we might as well fight out the difference. I know that this an nouncement did not receive the ap proval of Mr. Clark or Mr. Under wood, and . I know also that Mr. Clark would have insisted on my re maining on the committee if the fight along this line had been kept up and I bad an idea-thai his wishes would have been respected. .1 "It is now understood perfectly that there is to be no discrimination against any one on account of any vote heretofore cast and it is also understood that as far as possible all differences are to be held in abey ance during the Sixty-second Con gress. So far as I am concerned I cannot see that anything is left to fight for, and I think it would be puerile for me to continue to fight for a place I had already voluntarily agreed to give up and to decline to accept assignments whieh my friends knew I very much prefer because some report sent out from Washing ton has said ,1 could not again be elected on the Ways and Means com mittee. I shall accept the places which Mr. Clark and Mr. Under wood ask me to accept I have made no campaign for any position, have not solicited support from my col leagues and have only written two letters about committee assignments in response to letters written by col leagues about me. " ' "From the day I came to Washing ton before Congress met, I have done what I could absolutely regard less of any personal ambition to help 8ettle: in a proper, and honorable manner all differences which were calculated to divide the Democrats of the House. I believe both Mr. Clark and Mr. Underwood will very cheerfully .Indorse this statement The prospects for Democrtic victory in 19U are so bright that I would feel like a criminal if I bad pursued any other course. ; I would gladly serve on the Committee on Ventila tion and Accoustics, if by so doing I can help elect a Democratic Presi dent in 1912. "The tentative argument reached is entirely agreeable to me. I could not be better satisfied even if I had made a fight from a selfish stand point I think the country will see the Democrats of the next House more united, if possible, under the leadership of Mr; Clark and Mr. Un derwood than we have been before.

Under these con ditions a man would be able to carry a house on his shoulders, at the poles he would find himself so heavy as scarcely to be able to move. On this account labor would be worth a great price near the poles, but near the equator it would be worthless. Under these conditions it would be interesting to know whether people would go north for good wages or south for cheap workmen. E. : Mr. Use's Type-Setttai Hacala. It is good to learn that the type setting machine invented by Eev.

Those who are familiar with the details of. Mr. Cade's invention says that it prom ises to revolutionize things in the printing industry. - It will be much cheaper than other- machines, de signed for the same purpose and if it is a success will put improved type-setting facilities within the reach of scores of newspapers that have hot yet discarded ' the hand composition method.-Winston-Salem Sentinel. . , ; .. . i y When we once appreciate the plain and incontrovertible fact that ' our lands have been, and are now being, "worn out" five times as fast by the washing away of the soils and the leaching of plant food as by all the faults of our cropping system and errors in cultural methods, then we shall have learned the first and most important lesson in the agricultural education of the Southern farmer.

Hon. Champ Clerk read Mr. Pou's statement before it was given to the press and said: -"Every word of the statement respecting what took place between him and hie is the exact truth.
