RESOLVED FURTHER That we are unalterably opposed to the imposi- i competition, they are unstabil- tion of the tax commonly known as | i^^d and their trucks and buses as the “Nuisance” or “Luxury” tax, be- | operated are a menace to travel inK mindful of the fact that there will | upon our highways, be entailed a great deal of trouble and RESOLVED FURTHER, at w i.e trol of road signs, composed of and women who desire to preserv promote the natural beauty along highways, whose duty it should bj t out expense in the collection of this tax, not only upon the state, but upon the struggling merchants thoughout the state, and having seen the working.^ pass upon all signs proposed to k erected and require the demolition removal of all signs erected withoj permission, and that the expense ' such commission should be borne of the tax imposed; but that the ta imposed should be of such size as n t only to take care of this expense but to add in defraying our expenses of government. RESOLVED F’URTHER, That copy of each of these resolutions bs I and we, therefore, co'mmend to the furnished to the President of the Sta^ That in i Assembly the proposition of ^ Senate, the Speaker of the House of we believe that it would be wise to prohibit the posting of advertising signs along the highways of the state, we realize that legislation providing of this tax in other states that have i therefor would be difficult of enact adopted it, we believe it would be I ment and doubtful of enforcement, ^ I J 4-1. -*.<-> /^rynfi-rmo-nri Trk Tnci most unwise legislation. RESOLVED FURTHER, BOSTON GOLFER WINS TOMBSTONE TOURNAMENT in Fayetteville Friday. They carried their small son, Leighton B., Jr., to Dr. Lily and Jordan for tonsil oper ation. The little fellow is at home and doing nicely. Miss Jessie McFadyen of N. C. C. W. was at home for the week-end. Mrs. J. A. Brown and E. K.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Maples of Durham and Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Phil lips of Goldston were Sunday guests of Mrs. A. M. Snipes. Miss Lina Welch of Raleigh was Edward Gaddy collided with a large car driven by a Mr. Codley of Penn sylvania. Miss Betty Gaddy and little sister received minor injuries, cars were damaged and excitement created. This is an exceedingly dangerous crossing, and the lives of little school children are daily jeopardized. Some thing should be done! It should be someone’s duty to try to make this place safer, before a real tragedy oc curs. Jim Marks, colored, who farms for W. A. Muse, was ^‘burning off” for a tobacco bed last Saturday, when he lost control of the fire, and a two acre field of young dewberries, belonging to Mclver and Muse, was burned, damaging the plants greatly. A num ber of berry stakes were burned. Dr. E. Frank Kelly of Baltimore, who has been on a business trip in Florida, spent last week with his cousin, Ever Kelly on route 1.

McMillan of Boston and Southern Pines won the tombstone event at the Southern Pines Country Club last Saturday, when he went to the 20th hole with his allotted num ber of strokes. C. J. Burd of Vernon, N. J., finished near the 18th green, our judgment a general sales tax on every commodity amounting to not more than one-tenth of one per cent would raise a very large amount of | revenue in North Carolina and yet | impose upon no one an unfair burden, | inasmuch as this tax would fall heav- | iest on those most able to pay, would ; be a wise tax and one that would meet the approbation of the people of the state generally. RESOLVED FURTHER, That we believe some additional tax should be levied on hydro-electrical power in North Carolina. The power companies merely by the purchase of the ad.]'a- cent land and the erection of a dam and installation of a plant and ma chinery, translate millions and mil lions of dollars worth of power be longing to the people of the state into current, which they sell to the people of the state on a remunerative basis; taxing road signs as heavily as may Representatives, to the Senator from be done.

RESOLVED FURTHER, That we have noted in the press the large prof its accumulated during the past year by the large tobacco companies do ing business in North Carolina, while the tobacco farmers of this state, who are bowed down with the heavy burden of taxation, have re ceived practically nothing for the weed they have raised by the sweat of their faces; and while we would not suggest the imposition of such a tax as would drive these industries from the state or would deter others from coming into the state, we do believe that these companies ought willing ly to share more evenly with the farmers the burden of taxation, and to that end we commend any legisla tion placing upon these manufactur ers some additional tax to assist in the 0(peration of our government. , RESOLVED FURTHER, That the passenger and freight carriers w]i'^ use the roads built by the taxpayers of North Carolina for the transporta tion of freight and passengers for hire, should, in our opinion, be made to share more heavily the burden of the building, maintenance and upkeep of these thoroughfares. We believe, too, that there should be a more close supervision and regulation of theso Thiuits to tbink abon< in eonnection witb V Blowouts - TIRE Today every thinking motorist la seeking greater safety to meet mod ern driving conditions.

Probably it is justified by the fact that being old itself it emphasizes the existence of much “old stuff” in the world. All of which is by way of introduc ing some old problems that have puz zled and entertained successive gener ations from time immemorial in the hope that some of them will be new to all and all of them will be new 11| to some. : ♦♦ I A man entered a shoe store, bought i H a pair of shoes for $5.00 and tendered !
