Is it right to tax the auto a little , more every time money is needed? i That seems to be the theory we < have been working on, for taxation in 1 regard to motor vehicles has increas- 1 ed more rapidly than any other kind. l ' The general plan, it appears, is to 1 , consider the auto a luxury and make ' j 'it pay for money needed for most ev- | erything in the world. j \ The total increase in motor vehicle \ registration last year was 13.4 per ' cent, over that of the preceding year, but the increase in taxation was more • than 83 per cent. This is one of the significant facts ', brought out in connection with the is suance from the National headquar- •* ters of the American Automobile As sociation of its motor vehicle registra tion and taxation map, for the year 1325. Among other things the map shows: First, the average per vehicle tax levy for the entire country was S2O in 1025 as compared with $17155 in , 1024. an increase of fifteen per cent. in a period of twelve months. The per vehicle tax bus increased 133 per ' cent, since 1919 when it stood at I ••$8.55. 1 Second, special taxes collected from car owners by the. States reached a new high peak last year, w ith a to- j tal of $406,648,501 as compared with j $305,260,742 in 1924, an increase of, $101,381,319. Third, the State's revenue from the gasoline tax almost doubled in 1025, the tot til being $140,128,940 as compared with $79,734,780 the prev ious year. five States had more than a million i registration in 1925, the si- maintain- j ing the same order as they had the | previous year. They were: New Yprk with 1.025.583; California. 1.- 449.581; Ohio, 1.304.400; Pennsyl vania 1.330.433, and Illinois, 1,203,- 177. Two other States made a valiant effort to get the million class, namely Michigan with 988,010 and Texas with 975.083. In States’ fees, drivers' licenses and ggsolme taxes, the highest five were fTennsylvania with $30,279,770; N#w York. $25,500,240: California. si- , .7L’5.087; Michigan, $23,762,080. and Ohio, $22,157,181. In the amounts collected from flic gas tax California with $14,950,780 led the list: next came Ohio with $9.- 000.950; Michigan, $8,230,078; IVnn , sy vania. $8,352,781); and Florida. $7 657.507.

A news dispute!* from Durham tells |. ahtatt- JUnk* Xwwmto trtmte«i» uw feSting against the passage tu ?rortk Tfe - - -i-- *. Carolina of any law prohibiting the teaching of evolution in the public schools or colleges of the State. It is known that students in other in stitutions of learning are opposed to such a law. It may be all wrong to teach the theoroy of evolution, but we are not convinced that any law will prevent its teaching. Neither are we con vinced that the law will help the cause of the fundamentalist. There j arc hundreds of persons in North ; Carolina who never thought of evolu-! tion in their daily habits but who are likely to investigate now that an or ganized movement has been made to secure the passage of an anti-evolution hill in the State Legislature. I The students of the public schools and colleges of North Carolina are entitled to all of the facts. That’s I the chief reason we are opposed to any evolution bill. Give the students the facts, we say, and they can form their own opinions. If studying evo-j lution of necessity destroyed all be lief in a Supreme Being or in the words of Holy Scripture we would be lOpposed to it, hut such is not the case. We are not in sympathy with any movement calculated to curb facts. Science has played no little part in the development of the world and if we can’t study science and its various branches then we are curbing the facts. BANK GIVES PRIZES.

Elizabeth City, May 4.—" Guilty on all counts" was the verdict of tin jury in Recorder's Court Tuesday in the case of Leonard Twifford and Amos Bateman, residents df East lake.-charged jointly with violation of the Turlington act as the outcome of their arrest by Sheriff Carmine and Chief of Police Holmes Thurs day night at the river lauding on the Worth farm, about four miles from this city. Judgment was re served. Post aud Flagg’s Cottbn Letter. New York. May 4.—Tin- market has ruled generally steady though near months have been relatively easy. Strike news and expectations of a rather more favorable review of the weaather for the past week were without particular effect. A settle ment of the strike on some terms is thought probable in the near future as the undertaking is so vast and so farreaohing in its effects that it will be intilerable to all. including those who brought about the situation. The crop 'is regarded as two weeks behind normal at present, taking it on t'.ie average, and the soil is still too wet for p'anting in many sec tions and the nights arc too cool for vigorous germination. It seems to rain mighty easy in the belt and a few days of good weataher are more ITToductive of hope than actual re sults. Trading is light and lacks force with much of it in the way of switchingg and operators generally disposed to wait for the situation to | clear up further before taking the 1 real position on either side. It is hardly probable that all the breaks will be in favor of the crop but it j looks that that is what will be rr iquired if the crop is to catch up and make such ’atcr progress as to put it on a par with the crop this season. ; Tlte chief, consuming centers may Ibe shifted geographically abroad as has happened in this county but that will not affect the rate of consump tion. POST AND FLAGG. Device Measures Ocean Depths. i It is no longer necessary to go to the trouble of letting down a caole 'in order to ascertain the depth of the ocean. The fathometer, an in strument which automatically regis jters the depth of the water over which a ship passes, is now used for | that purpose. This device is based 011 ■ the principle that every sound pro ! duces an echo. | The first vessel to be equipped with a fathomether is the "Cyrus Field.'’ a Winter 11 I'nion ship used in connection with submarine cables. Our ,illustration suggests how the fathometer works. Electric currents are produced by the generator. These currents pass to the oscillator on the outside of the lower part of the hit)’ of the ship xvhore the electric pulsations are transformed into a distinct musical note. jilt: sound thus produc'd iraveis ti t'■ bottom of the sea .1 lid re-' bounds in the form of an echo. This echo is caught by the hydrophone and carried electrically to the fatho meter 011 tho navigator’s bridge. There accurate meutsurejnentN are automatically made of the time be tween the sound and the echo. The tinge is shown in terms of fathoms on the dial of the fathometer. This ■instrument is expected to prove ispecinlly useful in connection with luyiugund taking up ocean cables. Daredevil Killed.

This w»* the part of the evening when they would see the point of a joke most uproariously and most cruelly, la another half hour, they would be too involved In their own concerns and too scatterbrained with liquor to react In a body.

"At last!” said Clifford, strid ing to her a bit unsteadily. He took her hands. “Were you about to say the hour has struck, Clifford,” murmured Marie.

The Haugen bill was given tech nical right of way, with the other measures in position to be called up as substitutes. So insistent ate the , j demands for time to speak that night sessions are in prospect later in the | week to pad out the allotted four j days. The House will devote tomor row to other bills, resuming the farm relief debate Thursday and continu ing it uninterrupted until Saturday night. Chairman Haugen, of the agricul ture committee, opened» the* debate with g plea for enactment of his bill, which, he said. woul| place agricul ture on a parity with industry and ; redeem the pledge of the Republican party to the farmers. He maintained that the meajufe would make the tariff ’TOO per cent, effective for agriculture,” and £hin It was a simple' remedy, “not Com plicated and not paternalistic." Defending the proposed $375,000 QUO appropriation for a revolving fund, which would be used to stabi lise prices of basic commodities, he explained shat after two years the l farmers themselves would maintain the fund by baying an equalization fee on the sale of their products. The rule to consider trie three bills simultaneously was adopted after a gch'eral discussion of the preliminary procedure involved during which Rep resentative Pou, Nbrtn Carolina, ranking Democrat on the rules Com mittee. said the rule whs so untisuai "it ought to be put in a museum."
