Ford's Billion Dollar Offer
A flat offei' of one billion dollars
been made Henry Ford for the Ford 1
Motor company since Christmas.
That is some money, almost beyond j
the comprehension of the human j
mind to calculate. If it was all in one j
dollar bills, placed end to end, it would :
girdle the earth five times.
For the country's sake, let Ford
keep hi.s Fords. AS- it now stands, i
Manufacturers Not Shunning This State
Figure® tints't the statement
that nianuiuctuivrs are shunning
North Carolina a.-, ha. been claimed
by variou. j-a.'tii , j-'.specially 11. S.

. Only five States showed a' gain. All
other states lost, some of them heavi
. ly in the manufacture of tobaee©.
When we .see manufacturing leav
ing the Trust State of New Jersey
and the much talked-of "no tax"
State of Florida, we are convinced
that it is only tax dodgers who are
squealing against North Catolina
taxes.
Tax dodging citizens never make a
prosperous section, and if North Caro
■ i
lina has got to give more to a citizen
than it gets out of that citizen it will
be better off without him.
If our legislature would give its
attention to the problem of placing
an equal burden on every class and
piece of property in the Stat* 1 and
then say to all people who are un
willing- to live under such a system
of taxation go to any retired comer
cf the earth that is bidding for the
tax dodging wealth, it would be do
ing a manly and an honest .service.
It is proposterous to talk about the
low tax in llorida when as a matter
of fact the low tax only applies to
the man with millions, while the man
with the farm is living under a heavy
tax burden.
Of course, it is possible to get along
without paying taxes, but if we do*
that we will soon be just where we
were when we whipped the Indians

Why a Bigrgrer Navy
It looks as if three big new cruis
ers will be added to the United States
: Navy before the present Congress ad
| journs. And we are the nation that
boasts as being the one that is teach
| ing tlie world how to live.
! The big-pun. way may frighten them
into obedience, but it is not what we
ought to teach. ,
When we give people thte same con
sideration that we do property, we will
have less need for expensive battle
cruisers.
• Can't Get Any Worse
Testimony in the Browning case is
now ended and Charlie Chaplin has
been allowed to draw his money out
of the bank for temporary purposes.
Now,- why shouldn't we go to war
with China and Mexico?'lt would not
shock our morals any worse than the
tinted scenes in those court proceed
ings? And then there are BO many
of those poor Chinamen. What differ
ence does it make if we do try outj
our guns on them?
