The association comes into existence as a logi cal project, if the farmers will join in and produce the mater ial thiat is desired. Farming must get on a bet ter footing than it is or much more serious financial straits are ahead of this country than have been reached yet, for the success of the farm is one of the posi tive necessities of general pros perity in the nation, and some thing more than promises from politicians and bluffs at farm help are necessary.

We need an TAX THEME j taxation from all points, and is probably as complete a thing of its kind as obtainable. But heav en help it when it gets to Ral eigh, for there it is destined to meet the army of destructive analysis that will tear it to pieces and rebuild and retear un til no one can predict what will happen to it. The session will not be long enough to properly draft a thoroughly logical tax bill, but probably something wholesome will come out of this thing, and certainly education will start from it. One thing should be borne in mind. A misguided crop of en thusiasts is already calling on the men elected to the legisla ture to promise to take one step or another regarding taxes when the subject comes up. These folks mean well, but probably not one of them has in vestigated taxes as fully as the commission which made the re port that is to be presented, and for such people to ask Mr. | Spence and Mr. Johnson to pledge themselves before hand ^ to any policy is not to be enter-j tained. These two men are not tax experts, nor are the rest of the men who will constitute the coming legislature. Therefore it is necessary for both of them to go to Raleigh with open mind, I with the patience to hear all that i is to be said on the subject up to the last day until the vote on the matter comes, and then to vote as intelligently as is possi ble after hearing all the evi dence. It is important that they do not allow themselves to be swept off their feet by any pres sure of any kind, and that they make no impossible promises as to what they will vote for and what they will not, for they will certainly be more able to vote wisely after the case is thor oughly heard than before. It is proper for everybody to offer these men any sugges tions desired, for this is a gov ernment of the people. But it is equally proper for our members not to tie themselves to any theory or doctrine or group of advocates or anything until the last hat has dropped on the last day of discussion and they have heard the last word on every qlause of the proposed measures. Anything that involves tak ing from the people of the Unit ed States thirteen billion dollars a year is an important matter, and vital to the welfare of the nation, and the crisis of settling the matter seems to be arriv ing. The only settlement is one that is arrived at by full and tolerant discussion, not by hys teria or antagonism, and our legislators are to be encouraged to be deliberate and right, not emotional, hasty and intimidated by any political threats.

That’s all that what we call hard times now The Pilot has been accumu lating some letters and verbal communications concerning Editor, The Pilot: In justice to the town authorities of Southern Pines, (and, incidentally, to reassure the County School Board) one or two details in your account of the Southern Pines Mayor’s Court, published last week, ought to be cor rected. By the Constitution of North Cai- olina, all fines and forfeitures for violation of the State’s penal and mil itary laws must be paid into the school fund of the county. This in cludes all fines levied !n any Mayor’s or other magistrate’s court, for vio lation of penal ordinances. “Penal ties,” on the other hand, exacted for failure to comply with any civil or dinance, may be turned into the town’s funds. It is proposed (though the Commis sioners have not yet taken final ac tion) that all costs levied by the Mayor’s Court, including officer’s costs for arrests, etc., shall be paid into the town treasnry; th? salaries of officers being raised by a .sr.m suf ficient to compensate them for the los!;> of such fees. All costs allowed by l-'w to the Mayor, as a magistrate, ar.3 now *b6ing paid over to the town tri^a surer. All fines levied are paid into the town treasury: but are held for the school fund, to be accountod Cor and paid over at stated intervals, as the law directs. Any penalties which may be exacted for noncompliance with the town’s civil ordinances will be kept bv the town.

Asheville grew too fast A VALUABLE NEWSPAPER The Charlotte Observer last week issued an edition devoted to the progress of the Carolinas. It goes without saying that when the Observer undertakes a thing of that sort the result is credi table, for the management of that publication knows what is a good descriptive paper and how to make it. Much that was printed in the big edition is worth cutting out to file, for it has the merit of being authen tic fact gathered from positive sources and written by men who know how to present their ma terial. It is always a matter of grat ification to those of us who are country members of the North Carolina newspaper craft to see the Observer turn itself loose, for it has made for itself an un- disputable place in the front rank of all that newspaper world south of a line drawn from Washington to Los Angeles, and its standing is based on its re liability,. its ability and its pow er of understanding what a mod ern newspaper is. nation totals about thirteen bil- ^ , lion dollars a year, which is i wnat you will hav^j^ierely such a sum that we can u f-1? • comprehend it. But it can and be content. God is still m, averaged, and the av«age in- I dicates that every man, >Voman and child, black, white, Indian | and everybody else represents a contribution of $106.50 as the tax contribution of this Ameri can people every year. What one does not pay another does, but we average the sum stated as the ratio if we all paid alike. We tax everything that has an odd dollar hanging loose, and we pry it if it is not loose. We fool ourselves in the belief that the rich pay the taxes, but if we soak the railroads and the cor porations they pass the soak along, for they have no money except what they collect from their patrons, and the patrons pay all the bills, including the taxes in the long run. The folly of trying to pass the taxes to the other fellow is absurd, for the ultimate buyer pays all the accumulated costs, taxes and all. So we come to the one' point that the only fair plan of taxation is one that honestly puts its bur den on every fellow alike, play ing no favorites, not trying to shift the taxes, but to honestly call on big man, little man and every man to pay his fair pro portion, and probably in the long run that would resolve itself into an income tax or a sales tax, not on luxuries or privileges, or anything else than on every thing that is bought. The subject will come up in the legislature ahead, but a tremendous amount of knowledge concerning taxa tion is necessary yet before the people will agree on any plan. This brings up another phase of the problem. A tax commis sion composed of the best group of students of the subject avail able has been working on taxa tion and a report covering sev eral hundred pages will be pre- ' sented to the legislature for con sideration. Tnis report covers MOORE COUNTY’S POULTRY PROSPECT The organization of the Moore County Produce Association is one of the • most promising things that has arisen in this section in a long time. It is the creatwn of men of intelligence ft It J ° and 11 IS based on the possibilities cened with intellect. “The old fool kept me half an hour into my lunch hour today and I’ve been late getting away three evenings this week. This job isn’t all its crack ed up to be,” he said one day last week. “No,” we replied. “But the funny I art of it is that there are about two million men looking for that job rig^ht this moment.” He hasn’t uttered a word of com plaint this week. fend stopped too suddenly.

If this newly organized produce as sociation will find a market for them, we can’t see why all the farmers in the county shouldn’t raise poultry. All that remains to be seen is wheth er the association can market it at a price the farmers can afford to sell it at, and it would certainly seem as if we could make a crop here to sell profitably in New York if California and Texas can. And it looks now as if any crop would be better next year than cot ton or tobacco. Try poultry, boys. IH S/ALL I w ...'.V.v/? Delicious and Refreshing Why get all steamed up ...
