Address an communications to The Enterprise and not to the individual members of the firm. Tuesday, April 28. 1931 ( ■ . * fr -•* , - - Passing Up An Opportunity The North Carolina Education Association dodged a big job and, we believe, a solemn duty in its session last week, when it failed to recognize by any action the serious situation confronting the schools of North Carolina. We used the word 'serious" advisedly and with our eyes opened to the fact that after 108 days of strenu ous work and hard fighting by our State Legislature, I no provision has so far been made to open a single ; free school in North Carolina after they close at the j end of the present session. And at this time, the wisest of our race do not know just what the outcome j will be. Regardless of what the final result may be, we ate all confronted with the fact that a great change must take place in this country, or something serious is | bound to happen. . • . We are now facing the serious situation in which a people who need and want free public schools are not able to pay for them, and those who are able t > j pay for them are unwilling to- assume the burden and, in fact, would probably be glad to see them g" 1 down and let the common herd go without educati n. The thing this country needs at this time is some ' outstanding force, institution, or system to set tts on the right road. The home is whipped and unable to j do the i'»li The politicians, as a whol,fc are hog-tied by money interests, and are seldom for the people | further than their 'votes. The teachers of North Car- i olina might have put the job across. The plan might have called for some sacrifice for the profession, of course; but sacrifice is the thing necessary to bring our feet to the ground again , and if we are to have schools and colleges—and we must have them—it now looks like we will have to make a small cut on every corner and let the taxpayer pay all he can. The teachers and school officers will doubtless have ! to cut a little if the schools are to live, and unless I the schools live the country is gone. Now, when we have all done the best we can, the schools will func tion well, and the schools will live; but if we fail be cause we are too poor to pay the taxes and the schools close, the teacher will find his lot harder without a school than he would have if he had lowered his sal*.. arv during the term of hard times. The teadurs are capable of taking the lead in this matter, and they will perform a great service if they will only do so. ———- Time to Study The Taxation Question There has never been anything like it. We mean the tax fight. I'erhaps the most unusual feature of the controvery is the argument the sales and luxury tax opponents are putting up. As an argument they say they are against it be cause it will not raise a sufficient amount iof money , to take care of the schools; and in the same breath they argue that it will cost the pfopte more than the ad valorem tax is costing. If everybody would only tell the truth about these NOTICE OF SALE OP REAL PROPERTY Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in a certain deed of trast executed to the undesigned trus tee by N.

Now is the time for all men to study the tax ques . tion, because it is going to.be before them the next year and the next, and right on and on as long as we have government. What we need to know is who is ; paying for our government? 1 Victims of the 'Time" System As the season advances, a few farmers are found who are not able to make the grade—that is, they are not able to buy fertilizer and seed and feed them | selves, and are at a loss to know what step to take. It is really a sad thing to see a man stand on the streets who has heretofore been able to find a friend who could assist him in such a crisis, and in a state of wonder and bewilderment as to what step to take. While we may be moved with pity for such people, we are reminded of how hazardous life is for the man who goes through life eating his food and wearing his clothes before he gets them. How much easier it would be if we would earn our living before we get it rather than trade on "time,' antii ipating prosperity at the end of the season when we will be able to pay all and have something left, only to be disappointed. The "time" business nearly always destroys two people the fellow who gives the credit, and the fellow who gets it. The Tax on Tobacco The right thing, as well as one of the most popular things for each State in the Union to do is to levy a substantial tax on all types of manufactured tobacco, according to a utiiform scale, and then let the United States lower the Federal tax an equal amount. If this could be done, it would cost nobody any more** than it now costs. The burdensome taxes levied by the governments of the various State would be low j ered, and the National Government could easily make I up its loss by a small increase of tax on incomes. ' The tobacco tax paid in North Carolina alone . would amount to enough to give the educational fund in each State five millions of dollars, which is a sum of | no mean proportions, and would be of sufficient im i portance to indue? Congress to reduce the National levy promptly. , When the local folks throughout the country be- * ! come aroused to the fact that they have been send ( ing too much of their tax money too far from home they will want to stop that foolishness anyway. A Good Bill i Senator Hardy introduced a bill last week that, if enacted into law, will do more good than any little I bill that has come before the legislature for some time. The bill would provide that all lobbyists be required i to register with the secretary of State, stating who I they were working for, what price they were getting, | and such other information's necessary. Hut, like most other good measures, some of the same fellows who are voting as the lobbyists wish, | went to their rescue and atempted to destroy the force j of the measure by including owners of newspapers and \ editors, and of course any others who are willing and | manly enough to stand for the and against the j lobbyists. . Grounds for Suspicion There can be no hope for grounds to contest the j seat of Senator Bailey by Mr, George Pritchard through an investigation of the election returns at the last election in the face of such a majority as was given Mr. Bailey. It may be, however, that there is ground for sus picion of fraud in some sections. We hope, however-, that none can be found. We nted to have an honest ballot, or denv cracy will become a farce. Men who are elected by fraud ulent ballots ar seldom worthy to lie trusted. Unless the people stand solidly behind an honest ballot, we I need not expect fair tax laws. It is better for any party to be defeated than to be j elected by fraud. We Can't Always Please In a recent editorial in The Enterprise, we tdfftched - as we thought, very gently—on the dangers that beset children and young folks when allowed to run wild on the streets and daik lanes of the town and country. Still, it did not please some people. So far as we are concerned, we have a clear con science when we know we have given good advice and told the truth. sale contained in a certain deed of trust executed to the undersigned trustee by Isaac Gay and wife.

Now then in regards to car buying will say that I stand ready to cooper ate with and will buy any offering* in iny Co. at any time at top prices.
