Tuesday, April 21, 1931 A Foolish Argument We are unable to understand a good .many .things, but the one causing us so much conern now is the mathematical calculations some |»eople make in sup porting their belief that the landowners will get no relief from a salestax. If half of the j>eople own the property, and the property tax is lifted, and the same amount of tax is paid by all the people on the things they buy, everybody knows the landowner is obliged to save half of his present taxes. Some of our good friends fail to see the point. If a lawyer or doctor makes $3,000 a year and most of them do, their tax, if they are married is $25 unless they have property. If the owner of town property or farm land gets an income of $3,000 *a year, he will, on an average, pay more than SIOO in taxes. Now when the tax is shifted from the ad va lorem to the purchase system, then the doctors, far mers and lawyers will pay alike. It is folly to argue that a salestax will not lower the taxes on property and owners of property who are now paying it all, and leave half the burden on them and carry the other half over to those who are now not [»aying but very little if any at all Remorse "Remorse" is one of (he most horrible words writ ten in any language. Pt Signiflies more than fear, or pain, it carries with it regret and shame, a sense of guilt. Remorse caused Absalom to hang himself for the thought of his unfaithfulness to his father's trust was too great. The young prodigal later became fill ed with the knowledge of unfaithfulness and hanged himself. Remorse has caused men in past ages to fall on the points of their sharp swords that their conscience might be quited. We hojie no such degree of remorse will come to any of our legislators. Vet, there seems to be some indication that some are l)eginning to Hhink. Ac cording to the Hertford County Herald, Him. Lloyd Lawrence has at least reached the stage where he New Frigidaires Are On Display at Courtney's A special spring showing ol the lat t est Frigidaires now is under way at j the local showroom of B S.

NOTICE OF RESALE Under and by virtue of an order of resale and authority given me in a deed of trust executed to me at Trus tee by W. D. Wynn and wife, Mamie yvy««, on the 14th day of February. 1924, which deed of trust is recorded in Book N-2. page 447, of the Public Registry of Martin County, the terms oi sale not having been complied with, and at the request of the owner of the bond secured by the said deed of trust, I will resell at the courthouse door of Martin County in the Town of Williams tori, N. C., on the 28th day of April, 1931, at 12 o'clock noon, at public auction for cash the follow - isg described lands: Being a tract of land in Hamilton Township, Martin County, and bound ed oa die north by Weaver and the Keel land, on the west by R. H, Wearer, on the South by Leon Wil m and Gray Bsrnhill, and on the west by Martha Gsinor. Containing SO seres, mors or less. The successful bidder st the sale will , fee required to deposit 10 per cent of Use amount bid at the time of the sale. This IJCh day of April, »M 1 F. L HAISLIP^ was forced to tell his people that they kniw not what they need, although they have pleaded with him to stand for them.. When a man gets to the point that he has to go to explaining away things it is nearly always evidence of remorse, though it may be only to a small degree. Of course, the question as to whether Mr. Lawrence or his people are right is only a matter of opinion. The people think that those who are making money should be taxed on their money-making trades or institutions as well as the man who has a lifle farm or hut he calls home. Remorse may tie too strong a word to use in ordi nary cases, but one thing is certain and that is when . a man gets to the [xiint where he has to explain ; everything and try to pacify his homcfolks, he is sure / ly unhappy. Attorney A. P. Godwin, of Gatesville, perhaps pierced the heart of Senator Lloyd Lawrence deeper than has any other of the Senator's constituents, when he wrote to him and asked why he had for saken the people and violated his (Lawrence's) promise. * Lawrence's actions may produce him a greater in come, but one this is evident and that is his chances for office in the coming years will be poor. And how sad if is not to be trusted. The Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce and its secretary, Mr. N. G. Uartlett, are due a better support from the people than they have received. The organization is entitled to the undivided thanks of all the taxpayers of the who want a- fair dis tribution of the tax burden upon the shoulders of those able to bear it. Because of the unfaultering agitations and efforts made by that organization, a real tax light resulted in the present General As sembly. The work of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce has not been limited there however; it has done many things of great valu»> for this part «f the State. Upfortunately, the members and friends of the or ganization have failed down on the job. They have not given Mr. Kartlelt proper financial support. They have embarrassed him in his efforts by not pro viding necessary funds with which to carry forward worth-while and valuable plans. A new drive should be made in an effort to increase the membership that the needs of the section might be studied and plans effected for bettering the existing conditions in our section of the State, And now we bear a loud cry coming from aroulul Burlington, charging the common man's friend, The News and Observer, with trying tn run the General Assembly. The paper lias, more than any other one agency, attempted to plead the |x»or man s cause be fore the members of the law-making body that th % y might legislate fairly. As far as dictating, no one agency or many agencies, could compete with the right lobbyists who have crowded the hotels and even the very halls of the Assembly during these past few months.
