TAX RATE THE SAME.
. The aldermen for Concord have checked tip
on lasft year’s business, have taken stock of the
present and outlined plans for the future. As
a result there will he no increase in the tax
rate for the coming- year.
I The present administration has been an act
ive one. It has inaugurated a number of sys
tems *that have worked for the advantage of
the public and yet it finds that it can main
tain the present standard without increasing
the tax rate.
The average citizen of a town wants the rate
as low as possible, still it’s a fact that when it
becomes a battle between taxes and progress
the average man votes for the latter. He
w r ants to pay as little tax as possible but he
doesn’t want to live without certain conditions
that cost money. That’s only natural for none
of us like to spend our money unless we see
some benefit derived.
The present administration we repeat, has
been progressive and its affairs have been
“handled in an efficient manner. It is to be
a 4(fommended for staying within the income al
loted so that no additional tax will be needed
’-fffer-next year.

| NO PERSECUTION IN MEXICO.
Meeting in Philadelphia several days ago 1
4 members of the Knights of Columbus made
If protest against the new religious regulations
I in Mexico. They called President Calles a
> bolshevist, compared him with a czar and oth
i J erwise voiced their disapproval to the regula
.l: tions which lessen the power oij the Catholic
I' priests.
|' The}’ gave the impression that religious per
f sedition is the outcome of the new order and
£ this is directly contradicted by Bishop George
•'1 A. Miller, resident bishop qf the Methodist
jj Episcopal Church in Mexico City. In Chicago
’| { the other day he declared '‘there is no religious
! persecution taking place in Mexico today."
Bishop Miller hit the nail squarely on the
head, we believe, when he said the new regula
: '.4 tiops w r ere necessary because the priests paid
!;J no attention to the law and openly meddled in
" I politics.
II “It may he worth while to ask,” said the
H (bishop, “how it has come about that after
three hundred yeajs of Roman control of Mex
|; ico ending in 1821, and a hundred years of
dominant influence on the part of that church
jljin the affairs Os government, it has at last be-
BS-come necessary for the best government that
|i§’; Mexico has ever had to use drastic means in
Hfethe control of the ecclesiastical situation?
M There must Be a f’eaSdri.'and there Is.
fpp “The reason is that the Roman Catholic
Hll priests in Mexico have openly refused to com
jjp* ply With the law of the land and have persist
gifently meddled in pdirtics. They have organiz-
R'ed an economic force with the openly avowed
■E. purpose of bankrupting the country and thus
H defeating the present administration.”
e||» The bishop asserted that the Catholics have
tt organized “a league for the protection of retig
|| ious liberty” and that while the recent Euchar-
H$ istic congress was “viewed with admiration!
'and approval”'by Protestants in the United
B|| States and Catholic Bishops protested against
J* an elfrirt to hold an inter-denominational Prot
p congress fbr afll La’tin-America in Pana
|f ma City and “made it impossible to hold a
lUsinglfe session of this congress in Panama,
b compelling'the gathering to meet in cramped
i quarters in a hotel in the Canal Zone.”
Mil.Sr6 .Churfhflsliust assmuch as they the
P .CaittydfkOhtiripiies but he is not protesting for
I he realizes that good will come from the new
) will be regulated in the future just as well the
- Catholic schools.
The Protestants are not protesting because
- the law does not so seribusly affect them.
, They have never tried tq control politics,
t They have obeyed the law and devoted their
1 time to religious duties. Therefore the new
regulations do not bring such a vast change
iq, living methods for them.
VALUE OF ELECTRIC RAILWAYS
, The electric railway industry' in the United
■\States now represents an investment of about
six billions of dollars, according to the latest
estimate of the American Electric Railway
Association.
The industry is operationg 105,000 ears over
about 47,000 miles of tracks. Os these, more
than 82,6000 are solely for passenger
the remainder being made up of freight £rtd
service cars. As an auxilary to regular street
car service, about 300 companies are now op
erationg 5,000 busses over about 13,000 miles
of territory.
Reports received by the association for the
first three months of this year indicate a steady
gain in business. March showed a 2.29 per
cent increase over March of 1925, based on re
ports from 208 companies.
The average cash fare in cities of 25,000
population or over, on April *l, this year, was
7.66 cents.
FAITH IN COTTON MILL STOCKS.
The American Wool and Cotton Reporter on
the front cover page recently advised the pur
chase of cotton mill stocks. “The textile in
dustry is a basic industry and prosperity will
return,” the Reporter says. “Now is the time
to buy mill shares * * now is the time for op
eratives, second hands, overseers, superintend
ents, and officials to buy mill shares at ridicu
lously low prices and carry them into the forth
coming period of good business, make large
profits, and participate as partners in the af
fairs and profits of individual mills. * * Some
of the great fortunes of the future are going to
he based on the courageous purchase of mill
shares at present prices ”

EIGHT MONTHS SCHOOL TERM ASSURED
Goldsboro News.
The eight month.* school tenn is assured.
Some three thousand people in attendance at the
State Convention of Farmers and Farm Women adopt
ed resolutions favoring, among other things, the adop
tion of an eight months school term for the state.
Among the 3.000 people at the Convention were the
leading representatives of rural sections from one end
of the state to the other. The influence which they
wield will be sufficient to assure favorable action on
the school question when it comes before the people.
And by the way. the resolutions which the Convention
adopted, represent as progressive a platform for state
government as we have seen.
Equnl'zation of taxation, thereby taking an unequal
burden from the farmer, and provision of medical aid'
for indigent rural folk, were also two measures which
the farm people favor.
Co-operative marketing and diversied farming were
, endorsed as desirable as was the principle of the Chris
tion bill providing for a large state appropriation for
1 farm extenison work. The secret ballot and improved
primaries were listed as among the things to be sought
while the farmers were urged to hold sectional mass'
meetings just is- fore primaries in order to secure worthy
■ candidates.
[ Concerning the school question, the Convention re-
solved:
The farmers in North Carolina, like the farmers.of
the nation generally, demand ‘“equality for Agriculture.”
AW have just recited the need for giving equality to
agriculture In matters of taxation. We also call for
equality for agriculture in-matters of eduction. Country
hoys and girls should have als good schools in.'both qua nit
ty as city boys and girls. Furthermore the duty of pro
v!ding such schools shoAdd be borne equally by the state
as a unit without requiring poorer counties to tax them
selves several times as heavily for school purposes as
the wealthier counties. We favor an eight months
school term in every public school in the state.
‘THE Bi«#r PEOPLE.”
Lexington Dispatch. j
“The best people” were lined up with Cranford, the
Stanly county chaingnng boss, so the jury remained out
only forty minutes to bring in an acquittal, after two
and a half, weeks of evidence.
“The best people” were with Nellie
Freeman. Charlotte wonuKi. who almost cut off her
husband’s head with a razor, and Nellie went free. In
this case, however, two or three jurors seemed to have
been slow in realizing what “the best people” wanted
and hung the jury for almost two days.
Many of “the best people” sided with Cole, of Rock
ittgham, who shot down hih ddljghtvr’s lover as be sat
in his cheap little roadster. The sentiment of “the
best people” prevailed in that noted trial.
We still send folks to the penitentiary and some go
jtd the electric chair, but these arc foolish folks Who do
not know how to get “the best people” to sanction their
murderous activities. Murder is still a costly business
unless it can be given the proper standing in the com
munity.

Rome, Aug. 10.—The order to !

One writer thinks that less space
might be given to foreign correspond-1

much was written on the British
strike, and less attention might be
given to the cut of Monsieur Ca.il-;
laux's clothes. A third thinks it is
a good opportunity to free the sport

has hitherto disfigured them.” B*t

King Collects Weapons Intended to
Kill Him.
London. Aug. 10.—OP) —One of the
hobbits of the King of Spain is col
lecting weapons, bombs ami other
relies of the many attempts which
have been made to assassinate him. 1
King Alfonso, accompanied by the
Queen, arrived in London from Paris
almost siniuftaneously with dis
covery by tile French police of a plot
to take his life. He became much in
terested in the reports that his
enemies had a new kind of revolver,
and the Monarch immediately start- .
ed inquiries to ascertain just what(«
kind of a gun it was. The King '
himself is somewhat of a shot and is
keen on keeping pace with the times
in this respect.
The courage and calmness of the
King has long attracted attention.
When a bomb was thrown at his car
riage during his first visit to Paris,
the King remarked : “I have received
a baptism of fire without going to
war.”
The King has a jagged- part of this
1 shell which missed him, only a few
inches- Another relic in his collec
' tion is a feeding bottle which was
I used in an attempt to poison him
' ns a baby. Another is the skelton of
>' a horse killed by a bomb thrown the

daughter of Queen A'ictoria.

A well known writer, Emilio Faelli,
I says it is absurd for authors to in
dulge iu lengthy discussions on any
j subject when there is a complete ab
; sem e of debqte. and this edict of Mns
j solitii re-awakens ‘dig old idea of
(founding a diminutive newspaper with

EARTH CANNOT HIT

The End of the World Will Not Oc

ißy Internatioinal News Service.)
Berlin, Aug. 10.—“ I do not believe
j in the ‘end of the world.’ that is. in
- its destruction by clashes witli Other
planets.” said Dr. F. ft. Archeuhold,
director of the Treptow Observatory,
one of the largest in Germany, in an
interview with a Berlin paper.
"I am surprised to find, papers
ami periodicals occupied wtili prop
hecies on the ‘end of the world.' Any
serious scientist has long ceased oc
cupying his mind with such barren
theories. 1 admit that superstition
will cause the masses of the people
to think and argue about such ques
tions. but for us scientists this ques
tion i- no longer a problemthesM*''
it has been estahlisliiHl for certain
that the planetary system of the
world is so stable that a destruction
is absolutely out of the question..
The vicinity of or even a clash with
one of the fragments of former
planets or comets forms no danger
to earth. The npalliug sliced of 19
kilometers per second with which
the earth moves is safety enough
against destruction if she should
meet a planet on her way. Earth
would simply push aside if not do- :
stroy any planet clashing with her.
