THE CONCORD DAILY TRffiUNE. TAXES IN UNION COUNTY v Brother Asticraft Says Old Union Is Doing Her Best. Monroe Enquirer. • (ipvernor McLean says that it will be necessary for North Carolina to find other and new sources of reve nue in ordßr to meet the ever-grew ing demaud for funds to carry out prograins\of progress, and to sustain schools and colleges, anil benevolent institutions already established. So far as .Union county is con cerned, it appears as if it were do ing its part for the Old Ship of State. Within the past decade or so tax as sessments have jumped from -about SBO 000 to $(100,000 —an increase of 700 per cent! Maybe we’re getting a little u*ore in the way of roads and schools, but no one nppears to be any happier at tax-payin’ time. A few. weeks ago the county com missioners found it necessary to in crease Union county's tax rate from $1.3-1 on tiie SIOO valuation of prop erty to $1.75 —on increase cf 41' cents. - . Hut this is not all. The county commmissioners increased the valua tion for many of the real estate own ers of Monroe and Union county. The larger property Owners registered such a kick when their holdings were to be assessed at a higher rate that these remain at practically the old rate. Oil, by the way, I almost forgot that $50,000 tbe county commissioners "loaned” the State. But it's Monroe citizens who's go ing to catch it where flic Thanksgiv ing turkey got the axe and also where Mamie wears her beads. The festive Monroe citizen will find he is re quired this year to pay $4 05 on tffie SIOO valuation of property. Monroe banks advertise 4 per cent, on time deposits, So if a citizen were to plae SI,OOO in the bank he would pay just 50 cents more to the tax collector than he received in terest on his money. And on top of that a trio of Mon roe's bm#d of aldermen, backed by the mayor, appear determined to place further burdens on the people who elected them -in good faith as con-, ©ervativc and good business men. T.iese aldermen are going to experi ment with a four-months-in-the year dry stream as a water supply for the town. Such, experimentation will'cost upwards of $200,000. The county commissioners' demand on the shei'iff'to collect $151,000 more taxes this year than last, and the Monroe aldermen on the eve of is i«ping $200,000 in bonds on a futile waterworks project doth appear a little diggin’ when flic people believer' they hud elected conservative boards. Seriously, folks, this ever-increasing tax rate is beginning to be a l-ea burden with: many. Union county's, cotton crop this year will approximate three million dollars in value. It will require about one-fifth of it to pay our tqxes Or S2O goes for taxes out cf evert SIOO bale of cotton sold—must be paid to tile sheriff to operate sehoo's for road construction, benevolences and administration. If within the past decade we have jumped from less than SIOO,OOO as an annual tax to' $600,000, is it in conceivable that within a very short thne we will be paying, a millior dollars each year in taxes: 1 Then, suppose we should have a crop failure some year, which is al ways a possibility, who would pa the faxes? If we are,honest with ourselves we will say the farmers pay for everything. Why not stop long enough to do a tittle figuring as we go helter-skelter in trying to keep up with Lizzie? ' It appears we are going about this question of increased taxation in the wrong direction. It should not be -that we find "other aid new source for taxation,” but rather that the country become more prosperous. Then, and not till then, will taxei be less burdensome. There is no denying the fact that real estate values (the source of al true wealth) is less than in 1021) Where, then, are we to find "other and new sources" for taxation 'with out working a hardship on the man who owns his home or his farm?

IOKRISONIAN ASSAULT ON FINANCING IS ENDED 1 1'. Morrison’s Friends Say He Is Now Interested In Making Parts Progressive. U-st in Greensboro News.

Mellon may be right, but It will be hard to convince the smaller taxpayers, whose votes are numer ous. Consequently some, even of the Republican committeemen are afraid of his plan. The Democrats are against it In principle. » * • THE government has been pay. ing off the war debt at. a rata which will wipe it out in about 25 years. That is to say, the gen eration which fought the war will pay for. it also. Secretary Mellon believes in thii£. He thinks each generation should settle its own bills. He like wise advocates cleaning the slate as soou as possible lest . some thing else come up to pile on fur ther obligations. Finally, he points out, the faster the debt's paid, the less the interest. Yet it's obvious that the pres ent burden can bd lightened, and still more taxes can be taken off. if the period of payment ifiyextended to G 2 years, as the Democrats, and , some of the Republicans, among tbc committee members suggest. it ’has been learned that Governor Morrison will devote his energies I chiefly to making the next adminis tration progressive He will do some tliing to commit the payty to a more generous program than it now has, according to some of his friends. The ex-governor is known to think mighty highly of Senator Alfred Moore Scales, of Guilford, as the man who should lead the party. However, j tlie Charlotte man isn't making nom j inating speeches now. Newspaper -men have been hinting that the port ; terminal bill will be tiic test of the : next nominee. If the,candidate fav ors or did support that measure he [ will piss. That is the hunch. | Hut Mr. Morrison has not shown I much disposition to offer his old I measure without suitable alterations. | For instance, the next time it is brought out it will he styoni if the . ship feature. Mr. Morrison thinks it will commend itself to the nnti-‘\ship subsidy" element of the paigy. And had it been shorn of that feature he thinks it would now be law. He dees not believe boats ever will he neces sary. Every m'rve that j : r. Morrison makes in polities or anything else now has a meaning of .tie own, in the public's mind The fact that lie chooses silence instead of speech, is as interesting as anything. Os course Mr. Morrison believes to this day that if Governor Mei.eatt, State Chairman John G. l>awso»»and Max Gardner had made up their minds to support The port bill, it wott.tl now be law. TJulie University's Ancient Flag Pole Finally Leveled. Durham, Oct. 2!).—For a quarter of a century the old Trinity flag pd.e stood the rigors of winter, the equinoctial storms of summer and fall, and the persistent activity of woodpeckers. The other day it gave way to the combined efforts of bird and Wind, and now only a stub re mains of the once proud shaft that held Old Glory to the breeze thous ands of times. .It - seems that the old pole must have broken under the strain of its last distinguishing duty, to fly the flag at Im.f mast to honor the late .Ipmcs H. Duke, Duke university's outstanding benefactor. During its career as the sentinel of Trinity col , logo's, and more lately Duke uni versity's, campus, tlie tall pole that lived as a nmjectie tree in tlie past century, lead supported the ha f flown flag hn more than one oc casion; but none so painfully s;> than its last. - • IF YOU WANT SURE RESULTS USE TRIBUNE PENNY ADS. .
