The State Tax Levy ''Misappropriation of State's part of the tax levy" is another "charge" as reckless as false. But the Republican spell binders have Jin political con science. They are out to fool the voters if they can and wc ought, to all help prevent them from de ceiving any. Here it is to a frac tion of a cent. Head it tu see where the State s part of the tax (levy goes, to what purpose it is fire prevention. They ww in terested and ft-VcfUl iW the in formation, and will put it to good use.

Baseless Republican Charges It would be laughable, . Avere they less criminal, to consider some of the reckless "charges'"' which the Republicans are making against the record ot Uerno-ratie administration in North Carolina making them without anv foun dation in fact (often in the very face of facts to the. cont,-arv) fov the one purpose of attempting to infiu'-nee voters by false state ments. "High taxes!" shouts the Re publican spell-binders. And some of those avIio hear him believe Avhat. he says, for the lack of bet ter information. Yet, it is a fact that North Caro lina people today pay taxes in dol lars and cents, for all purposes. less per capita than the citizens of any other State in the American Union. This fact is conclusively shown by the IT. S. Census De partment. "Educational extravagance!" is another IioavI of the Republican stump speakers. That is the very Avorst of all the silly "charges." The man avIio advances such an absurdity is furnivhing 'emocra tie ammunition.
