VOTE—AND DON’T MOVE TO CANADA Next Tuesday will tell the tale. As far as predicting the re sult goes, there might just as well have been no pre-election polls this year. They are as wide apart as the guesses of individ uals. The only thing they have revealed is, the election should be close. No poll shows either Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Landon in a walk-away. The closeness throughout the campaign has kept public interest at a higher pitch than in previous cam paigns. and hearts won’t beat normally again until late Tues. day night—possibly Wednesday morning—when the result is known. And what a relief that will be! We can get our minds back on our jobs, read something in newspapers besides political hocuh-pocus, hear something on street corners other than pre dictions and wagers and Liter ary; Digest and Hoey—and 'hoo- ey. Yes, it’s anybody’s election, and there’s nothing we can do about it but one thing. Vote. Don’t fail to do that. And after that— Abide by the result, get back to work, and smile.

TO LAHIBIT ETCHINGS BY MISS RUTH DORIS SWETT On Saturday, October 31st. the Sandhill Book Shop will have on ex hibition a collection of etchings, the work of Miss Ruth Doris Swett of Southern Pines. Miss Swett has been visiting in the full exemption, it would mean that a North Carolinian who owned and lives in his own home would pay taxes on valuation exceeding $1,000 only, rather than ou the full taxable value of the property. The assem bly, mighty however, grant only ?500 exemption following adoption of the amendment, or it might choose not to grant any exemption at all. Under the proposed amendment to be submitted on election day, the As Southern Pines the past few weeks, but leaves for Winter Park, Florida i sembly would be given the right to at an early date.

Her subjects, trees, have been transplanted to her plates from many varied localities, but her most loved tree is our native long leaf pine. Copies of these pictures at the Sand hill Book Shop have been exhibited In the most important galleries in the United States, and have received increasingly favorable criticisms. this preventing the Legislature levy ing different rates for different pro perty classes, such as real estate, personal property and others. If the proposed amendment were adopted, the legislature could make its own classification of property for ad valorem tax purposes, subject only to limitations of the court as to ar bitrary classification, and could levy individual classifications. It would not be compelled to make the classifica tions by passage of the amendment. The fourth proposed amendment would permit the legislature to fix the rate of income tax in the state at any figure not exceeding 10 per certt. Adoption (|f the amendment would actually set the maximum in. come tax rate for the state at 10 per cent, but still would allow the leg islature complete discretion in levy ing any rate it chose within that maximum. The present constitutional maximum is six per cent, vrith the General Assembly granted power of fixing the actual rate at that figure or less. The final amendment, as proposed, would on adoption restrict the bor rowing of State and local govern, ments. It would repeal the present provision that the State may not bor row more thtin 7 1-2 percent of its total tax valuation of property ex cept to fund or refund insurrection or riot, or to supply a casual deficit. The State and local governments would be allowed to borrow without a vote in anticipation of tax revenues expected during the fiscal year, not to exceed 50 per cent of revenue That in all other cases the State could not borrow^ during any two. year period, without an approving vote of the people, more than two- thirds of the amount by which its out standing debt had been reduced dur ing the preceeding two years. And, that no local unit could bor. row during any fiscal year, more than two-thirds of -the amount by which it? outstanding debt had 'oeen reduced during the past fiscal year.
