July 5,1929 Tax Reduction Talk Again That tax cut which is being talked around Wash ington should not fool the folks in ,this enlightened age, because it will not lower the tax of one person in a thousand ft is true it will lower the taxes of Mr. Mellon, Mr, Ford. Mr. Rockefeller, the Gen eral Electric Co., General Motors Corporation, and the gorgeous rich everywhere who pay income taxes, but the same Congress that is talking al>out lowering the incunflfcfax is. doing everything possible to raise the tax oHtugar. hats, shoes, clothes, and practically* every other thing that the poor man uses, which can be easily seen by looking over the the new tariff schedules, just jwssed by the House of Representa tives and now being considered by the Senate. What the country needs is a raising of the income tax and a lowering of the tax on the necessary things of life. If the tariff goes up according to the schedules as now outlined, then the incomes of the favored few will increase. The people will pay all the bill. The Government will get a small t>ercenlage byway of income taxes, but the great bulk will go straight into the pockets of the favored rich. What a blessing it would lie if the income tax on the rich could be raised and the tariff tax lowered, helping the poor An Unjust Discrimination The railroad have won another victory over the peo ple of North Carolina. The Interstate' Commission has granted an increase of rates* on, ship .menu of practically all commodities within the State ranging froni 12 to 40 per cent. The action was based on a petition by the Virginia Corporation Com mission Sojainst tne Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad. The Virginia was, of course, seeking to raise North Carolina rates so that Virginia shipjiers would have an advantage over the North Carolina wholesalers. For a long time, carload rates from all points have been much cheaper to all Virginia |x»ints than to equi distant points in North Carolina, enabling a Virginia merchant to buy a carload of meal, for instance, in St. Paul, Minn., and reship it to North ( arolina points, in less than carload lots, and even with the local rate added he could ship to Williamston —for example—in competition with the carload rate from St. I'aul to Williamston. This was quite satisfactory to both the railroad and the Virginia merchant. NOTICE TO ALL TAXPAYERS - ; * «' u ■ -. The Board of County Commissioners and Tax Assessors will meet Monday, July Bth, at 9 o'clock to receive the tax lists and hear complaints by taxpayers as to improper valuations. , i No complaints will be heard except on personal property values and on lands where buildings have been erected or de stroyed by fire. \ NO CLAIMS FOR REDUCTIONS WILL BE HEARD AFTER MONDAY, THE V" BTH DAY OF JULY T. B. SLADE, JR. CHAIRMAN, BOARD OP COUNTY COMMISSIONERS which permitted a lower rate between two North Car olina points than was allowed between a North Caro lina and a Virginia point for the «airte distance. This, in a way, placed a North Carolina shipper somewhat A number of years ago, a petition was granted on an equality with those of Virginia. - . The new order will cost North Carolina people mil lions of dollars, which will go into the pockets of the railroads, and it will give Virginia shippers a great advantage over North Carolina shippers, and will cause a great loss of trade to North Carolina mer chants. We have two chances yet, however; one is to use the truck, the other is to buy from our North Caro lina merchants even if it does cost a little more. Of course, the water routes should be used wherever it is possible. The order is altogether unfair to North Carolina, as the railroads in this State are already earning twice as much net per mile as in Virginia. Stick toYour Crop Farmers are discussing the best thing to do for a drowned crop. Some good farmers say to treat them just as you would a sick man. That is, give thenpi the best attention possible —good plowing and culti vation often during the season will cause one to be surprised how well they will come out. Most farmers in this section agree that all the crops have had too much rain and are damaged some, and a few farmers may give up, because there are a few who will not stick. Those who do stick, however, will find reward for their labors. Man can't rule the Weather, but he can work and fertilize his crop, and it always pays to do one's best, said a good farmer in passing by. Another Argument for the Patrol The fact that a man who is serving as a regulator of traffic is killed on his second day on duty is another argument in favor of the service he was endeavoring to perform. A careless, reckless 14 year-old boy killed him. George 1. Thompson, the highway patrolman who was killed was doubtless observing all the require ments of the laws and the proper traffic rules, yet he lost his life. Now, then, who is safe, with so much carelessness and recklessness, and what will prevent it. It seems that the |jatrolman's uniform did no good. But suppose the court punishes the father who per mitted the 14-year-old boy to drive and then gives the boy at least some kind of disciplining for running down and killing this man, and then punishes all other jieople who grossly transgress the traffic laws; tt will have a good effect. If there is any way to make men obey the law after being taught to do so except pun ishment, we do not know what it is. Parent hood's Responsibility In this modern day, a once dread disease of child hood is found controllable. Physicians even go so far as to state this disease, this night terror which seizes young and innocent victims and throttles them as they sleep -diphtheria—can be completely wi|*d out. But to accomplish this result, parents of the children, aged six months and older, must sacrifice their parental dis like to seeing loved ones put to inconvenience and have them inoculated against diphtheria. Immuniza tion through administration of toxin-antitoxin is little more than an inconvenience these days. This protection, this safeguard for the lives of young children, is proven thoroughly and completely relia ble. Science works day and night the ills of the hu - man race to cure. But uijless parents broad-mind edly and in wholly cooperative spirit take their chil dren to* the public clinics in the fight against diph theria, all.science's outlay, for them and their charges, is set at naught.
