PAGE FOUR FOUNTAIN TALKS TO MEMBERS OF EASTERN C. OF C. • Favdfrs Removal of Tax on Land for Support of Schools Lieutenant-Governor R. T. Foun tain, speaking at a meeting of East ern Carolina Chamber of Cpmmerce at Murfreesboro Wednesday night stated, in part: that the tax upon real estate and ad valorem taxes for the support of the State's six months school term must be removed. "From time immeorial. land and other feems of real property have been the real .foundation of all wealth and the--chief and safest basis of credit. In our zeal to push forward and build up immense fabrics of paper wealth, our tax laws have been constructed so as to favor intangible property. Real estate standing as a, bulwark of true wealth and value yet recently cast aside by the investor has been called upon bear the brunt of the burden of taxation. Real estate in 1915 represented fifty-five per Cent of the tax book wealth, in 1930 it had in creased to seventy per cent of the tax book wealth. Everyone knows that ..this, change in percentage should have been decreased instead of increased as; personal property had magnified many I times. , "There should be a re-valuation of. real estate as early as possible so that the above conditions can be remedied I and real estate taxes made niore ' equitible." Mr. Fountain further stated thatj along with these changes must, of course, go a balanced budget as near as can be accomplished, but that this budget must not be balanced at the i expense of the child. The public [ schools- must be kept open and with-j. out lessend facilities, that while he be-' lieved ijif strict economy, he did not I think that the present standard of the j public school system should be low - ! ered any further or the teacher load ! made any heavier, and that it should j , be improved as soon as business con-|« ditions would permit. |, "The State, as the individual,"* the i ( Lieutenant-Governor continued, "can i not hope to long function with ex > penditures exceeding income. I re spectfully submit however, that the | proper time to give greatest consid- a eration to this probleni is when the j legislature is in session. More care v and thought must be given* to pro viding revenue t> meet appropriations | that arc found necessary after giving v consideration to all sound ecenomies t It is both unfortunate and unfair for , the legislative body to hold out cer- i tain promises to the institutions of the x State which it is not able to fulfill, j whicr, in turn, makes it impossible | for these institutions to function in a j normal way." | j The aspirant for the Governorship ! , also called attention to the organized ' • and systematic effort of certain in- j , fluenccs in the State and (nation which j j are undertaking to remove the gov- | ( ernment from the control of the peo pie, and undertaking to substitute ap pointive government for rcprcsenta- tive government through the short ballot bills which take away from the people the right to elect their own ( officers and have them appointed ! ( from Raleigh and Washington. NOTICE OF SALE 1 Notice is hereby given that under and by virtue of the power of saU- j contained in that certain deed of trust, ( executed by E. E.

Warren, a member of*the North Carolina Con stitutional Commission, submitted pro posals to incorporate the purposes of the Marl,can school law in the con stitution and to abolish the State i Board of Equalization for considera tion by the commission at its meet ing held, in Raleigh January 1. Due to the fact that Congress convened on Monday, Mr. Warren was not able to attend the meeting of the commis sion and no action was taken on the proposals. Mr. Warren's proposals would abol ish all vestige of county school sys tem, place a' six-month minimum up on the State supported school term and leave it to the legislature to fix i the maximum, and would establish in , the place of the State Board of Equal ization a board of education composed of the governor, the state superin-* tendent of public instruction and five members appointed by the governor from the state ht largo. The present board of equalization consists of the governor, the lieutenant govern* r, the superintendent of public instruction, and one- member from each congres sional district, appointed by t!.e gov ernor. In Article 9 of the constitution, deal ing with education, Congressman War ren proposes to eliminate section 3 and substitute the following: | "Section 3. The state shall be di-'| vided into a convenient number of school districts, in each of which one or more public schools shall be main tained at least six months in every year, and for such longer time as the General Assembly shall prescribe; and it shall be the duty of the General Assembly to provide adequate reve nue for the support thereof." Should the above section be finally adopted as a part of the state con stitution, it would become the man datory duty of the legislature to main tain the schools for' six months and for a longer term if they so desired. | It wipes out all county support and creates a State school system rather than the dual system now in effect. I Congressman Warren also proposes | to repeal sectoin 3, of Article IX, deal nig with the county school fund, and submits a proposal to rewrite Section 8 dealing with the board of educa tion. His new section 8 would be as follows; '/Section 8. Board of Education. A State Board of Education to consist of seven members and to include the governor as its chairman, ex-officio, and the superintendent of public in struction as an additional member, sl]&U be appointecj ''V 'he governor, uy and with the advice and consent of the senate; and it shall take the place of the State Board of Equali sation." Mr. Warren, who is an ardent sup porter of the Mac Lean law, stated that he had collaborated 'with Representa tive A. D. Mac Lean in the prepara tion of these amendments and would urge their acceptance by the Consti tutional Commission. - Archeologists at work at several points in Kentucky have discovered traces of a race of people which burn ed the bodie of their males at death but buried in the flesh all females and children. 66 6 666 Liquid or Tablets used internally and 660 Salve externally, make * tem plate and effective treatment for Colds. $5,000 in Cash Prizes Atk Your Pnfgiat (or Particulars I, THE ENTERPRISE CALDWELL SAYS IT'S TIME TO STOP AND TAKESTOCK Get Set of Commandments For Successful Farmers To Follow By GUY A. CARDWELL Agricultural and Industrial Agent, At lantic Coast Line Railroad Co. At this season wise-cracks galore arc the order of the day about the many resolutions (usua'ly. good res>- luti( ns) made by almost all but cyni cal, tfi'lf-satisfied and thoughtless per sons as a j;u. lo to future personal con duct. * While human nature is exceedingly frail and tlie.se resolutions are usually as easily, broken as pie-crust, it is not a bad idea to stop and take stock and j resolve and plan for the future. In both business and farming, plans I for the coming j ear are essential if we I are going to have any kind of manage ment and arc nt simply going to drift along and muddli through. There is no belter general plan to be followed tha:'• that envisioned and so eloquently expressed by the bril liant young Georgia journalist, Henry Woodfin Grady (1850-1889) in the fol lowing words: "When every farmer in the South shall eat bread from his own fields and meat from his own pastures, and, disturbed by no creditors and enslaved by no debt, shall sit-down among his teeming gardens and orchards and vine yards and his dairies, and barnyards, I pitching his crops i nliis own wisdom, and growing them *n independence, making cotton his clean surplus, and selling it in his own time in his chosen 'market and not at a master's bidding; getting his pay in cash and not in a receipted mortgage that discharges the debt but does not restore his doni—then shall be breaking the full ness of our day." If you are not prepared to accept and follow Mr. Grady's program, your attention is requested to ten command ments of agriculture by Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, father of agricultural ex tension work in the South. By fol lowing these commandments closely - lug Cardui when In A weakened, run-down condition," writes Mrs. F. S. Perrlt, of Wesson, Miss. "X took one bot tle, and I seemed to Im prove so much that X sent for six bottles. Af ter X bad taken the six bottles, X seemed entire ly welL "Before X took Car dui, I was nervous, rest less, blue and out of heart. X felt depressed all the time.

Deep fall plowing; and in the 1 South a winter cover crop (oats, wheat, etc.) 3. The best seed, including variety | and quality. \ j 4. Proper spacing of plant.s i 5.

The home production of the food required for the family, and for the stock. 8. The use of more horsepower and j I better machinery. 9. The raising of more and better I ! stock, including the cultivation of i grasses and forage plants. 10. Keeping an accurate account of , the cost of farm operations.

Regard chicken* and a garden as nuisances. 4. Take everything from the soil and return nothing. 5. Don't stop gullies or grow cover crops. Let the top-soil wash away, the*.-you will have "bottom land." j 6. Don't plan your farm operations 1 —it's hard work 'thinking—trust to' luck. * 7. Regard your woodland as you would a coal mine; cut every tree, sell i I the timber, and wear the cleared land out cultivating corn. | 8. Hold fast to the idea that the methods of farming employed by your' grandfather are good enough for you. ! 9. Be independent—don't join with your neighbors in any form of coop-' eration. 10. Mortgage your farm for every dollar it will stand to buy things you would have the cash to buy if you followed a good system of farming. | For those who do not make a liv- j ing farming, and for our farmer friends as well, we recommend the reading of | j ten success rules published in United. News. They follow: Ten Commandments To Succeed Cultivate the habit of persistence, i which is the most necessary element [ of success. Make up your mT!lYl~lt>-d« thFlfitng you 'dreain of doing. j Plan the first step to be taken. Be gin there. Believe in yourself; believe in the, thing'you meaii to do, and be proud 'of it. Do not be turned from your pur pose by your failure nor expect too much at first. Achievement is not a swift ride in an elevator; it's a hot, hard climb up a long, steep hill. ! -j School yourself to disregard dis couragements and opposition, and to 'get along, if need be, without praise' ' jor approval. *• Do not interfere ' with others, nor try to direct (their lives. You'll find , it all you canNJo to make a success j of your own. Cut out the ill humors from yo\ir disposition, and disabuse your mind of the thought that you are being slight ed or overlooked.
