WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1920 NOTICE TO READERS. The Southerner is always anxious to improve its reading value and make its columns more valuable, both to its readers and advertisers, and, . in view of a rapidly increasing circu lation, it desires to extend its local news.

' It must be remembered 1 h South erner is the county organ, the only - 'means of disseminating the news of the surrounding territory which adds greatly in drawing the people to gether and in making the social life l': more attractive. None can live unto : himself alone. - BRIEF INTERPRETATION OF THE FREIGHT RATE CASF. For forty-odd years North Carolina has paid an average of approximately 60 cents higher than Richmond on freight traffic originating in North ern and Eastern States for the addi tional short mileage to North Caro- lina from Richmond. The decision of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion fixes that charge to be, in no instance, higher than 30 cents to a major portion of the State than the Virginia cities, and to that part of the State contiguous to South Caro lina 35 cents higher than to. the Vir- " ginia points. This decision likewise app'ies in the reverse direction. Heretofore wc have paid, in some instances, nearly 100 per cent higher than Virginia cities on shipments or iginating in this State destined to points in the Northern and Eastern States. For more than a generation North Carolina points have paid identically ' the same freight rate to points in South Carolina and other Southern destinations - as the Virginia cities. . To' illustrate: Sanford, N. C, is only - a short distance from McColl, S. C, ' but the Sanford shipper was com pelled to pay the same rate to McColl as the Richmond shipper, although being approximately 200 miles near er than the Virginia city. This like- wise applied in the reverse direction, - frqm McColl to Sanford. The decision hasgiven North Car . olina points, a maximum difference of 30 cents per lOOjxmnds under the Virginia city rate to points in South Carolina, thus it may be readily seen the shippers of North Carolina have saved approximately $12 per ton on first-class traffic. . This does not mean an actual re duction in rates, but does mean a removal of discrimination and a pro. per -adjustment of rates, and the $12 can be used in extending your trade territory by getting further away from your shipping point. It was stated by shippers who test? iSed at the bearing, both in Raleigh f.nd in Washington, the average trade t erritory "of the tforth Carolina job r and distributor was approximate- 8 miles, while that of the Virginia y shipper was nearly 350 miles; it fore, it may be easily Aeterm. ined tile value of the victory 6Btmfl j by this association. ; ' ' THE CAMPAIGN OF IDEAS. The old time1 candidate sought to win political battles by conciliating the favor of political workers and bosses. Also he. posed as a mixer, circulated around among all classes of the voters, and tried to demon strate that he was a "good fellow." That style of campaigning has won a great many elections, but it is get ting out of date. . The modern candidate should show that he has more ideas in regard to public business. He ought to make definite'suggestions for improvement. The voters are sick of the hand shakers and baby kissers and the fel- Llows who inquire with such deep so licitude for your family. They want some one who can put business effic iency into government. A candidate should have "been a student of public business, and the needs of his locality. He should have some good suggestions to make and a program of measures and improved methods for which he proposes to stand. Even though he may not be able to get these things accomplish ed, yet if he has made a good fight for them, he will attract attention and show that he is a live wire'. After a candidate has been elected he should never be satisfied unless he is constantly accomplishing some thing that can be pointed to as his distinct achievement. The trouble with the public service is that so many officials are willing to go ahead in -the old way without effort to se cure greater efficiency. There are so. many things that need to be done for better business government and for the solution of existing problems, that any wide awake official should be able to make a record of positive achievement. It will win more votes than the social arts of the mixer, though no candidate can safely neg lect the work of organizing and get ting out the vote. THE CHILDREN'S SUMMER Families having children look for ward with keen pleasure to the close of school, and to the enjoyment they expect to gain from their children during the summer. Yet vacation is usually but a few days old, before the children become restless, and de mand more outlet than the quiet home life gives them. Then the pa rents begin to wish they were back in school with their regular tasks and fefinitely ordered life. Child ren are often the happiest when c verything id laid out for thew to do. The children who are able to visit the boy and girl camps, are fortu nate indeed. There they get all the jolly sports they ' crave. In addi tion they get a well ordered life, and definite things to do, which is so hu ge an element in keeping them con tented and well. Unfortunately these camps arc expesive, and only a few of the children can ejoy these ad JOHNSON'S Auto Accessories: -O- Household Finishes: ENAMELS GOLD, SILVER, BRONZE, AND ALL COLORS RADIATOR AND STOVE-PIPE ENAMEL THE FIRST THOUGHT IN DRUGS Edgecombe Drug Co.

Wherd children aresimply turned loose .to the streets xf a populous town, it is almost inevitable that they get into mischief. Merelv Drovirl- ing a playground, without supervision does not of itself regulate the kid element. One, group of rough boys may exclude all the others. The ordinary child is probably bet ter off to have a few regular tasks to perform about the home. In the country he has his chores to per form which he enjoys, and which help him become resposible and in terested in the work of the world Town children can usually find thing to do for their neighbors in these busy' timesrand they are happier to have some little enterprises of their own. Ten weeks spent in absolute idleness ise not good for any child. after he has reached the grammar! school age. DR. CARL C. TAYLOR GOES TO STATE COLLEGE Dr. Carl C. Taylor, professor of economics and rural sociology, at the University of Missouri, has accepted the professorship of economics at the State College, and will enter upon his new duties at the Wfist Raleigh insti tution when college opens in Septem ber.

D. at the Uni versity of. Missouri. He has alsc studied for several summers at both Columbia University and the Univer sity of Ohio During the past seven years Dr. Taylor has made an enviable'reputa tion as a teacher of economics and sociology.

Pocock, curator of mammals to' tfhe London Zoological Society, has discovered what he says is a "great hoax upon tile Americans who for more than 400 years have believed they had badgers on their continent." An American badger, brought ted London to make an "instructive com parison,y was put in a cage with some Critish badgers. The British badgers slept all day, the American badger all night. Dr. Pocock inves tigated and decided the American animal was neither badger, skunk, stoat, or weasel. He said its skull and teeth were "wrong" for a bad- Kcr, it lacked the scent gland, and its resemblance to the badger was so superficial he considered it of a to tiilly different "tribe."

The lowest city tax rate but one (listed In the 1920 figures of the World Almanac,, pages' 702-705) is In Musko gee, Okla., a full suffrage' state. . It is S3 cents-on the hundred. The highest tnx rate In tlie United. States at the same'tlme is In Milwau kee, Wis., 120.17 per hundred. Wiscon sin nhll 1019 had no woman suffrage. it now has presidential suffrage. Of -the twentyone cities in the United States quoted in the World Almanac list as having tax rates below $1 ten are In states which have full, presidential or primary suffrage. There are but three male suffrage states In which any cities are listed with a tax rate below $1 on the hun dred. ; - , The suffrage cities with a low tax rate arei South Bend, Ind., 74 cents;' Ogden, Utah, 72 cents; Niagara Falls," N. Y., 80 cents: W.lamazoo, Mich, 81 cents; Muskogee, Okla., 85 cents; Kim- ; SOS Cltv." Knn.. R' ccnls: Hutchinson, i Kan., 75 cents ; Fort Wayne, Ind., 04 cents; Fort Smith, Ark., CO cents; Cleveland, Ohio, 70 cents. In 1016 Washington, a full suffrage State, went out of debt. And Wyoming In that year had no need of taxes for state government. "Taxes were not levied, for the sup port of the state government," said the Anaconda Standard (1916). "The In come of lands, leases, royalties and In terest on Investment Mast year was ?S08,241.02, while the amount received from direct taxation was $568,497:51. There was a cash balance on hand at the beginning of the year of $718,420.- go The actual expenses of Wyomin were $1,305,588.21. After paying all expenses and making some Invest ments In permanent funds, there is carried over a cash balance of $780, CS7.12. ' With this balance and the Income derived this year from oil and mining development, royalties on state lands, leases and fees, the state will easily be able to get along a year at least without any direct taxation." Wyoming has full suffrage. In January, 1916, equal suffrage Kan sas paid off its last dollar of Indebted ness. , WHERE MEN ONLY VOTE DEBTS ARE GREATER. In the city of rsaltlntore, Maryland, where woman suffrage is rejected, the total population In 1919 was 700,000. The debt of the city is $66,127,174 or more than $90 per capita, the budget $22,020,099, or more than $30 per capita. In Richmond, Virginia, another state where suffrage was rejected the pop ulation of 165,000, is burdened with a debt of $12,513,097, or $75 per capita, and with a budget of $5,604,013, or $44 each. (World Almanac, 1920.) In February 1916, the Denver, Colo rado, Chamber of Commerce said : "Denver's per capita indebtedness is $3.62. Per capita" Indebtedness of other cities follows: "Louisville, $50.13; St. Paul, $43.19; Worcester, Mass., $42.90 ; Columbus, Ohio, $46.05; Toledo, $50.54; Atlanta, Oa., $30.28. "Two million and a quarter dollars were spent In homes last year, costing from $3,000 to $15,000 each. "The state has made great progress in agriculture. In 1914 it amounted to $89,573,200 and in 1915, to $95,052,09.0." The indebtedness of Massachusetts, a male suffrage state, was In 1913, $22.78 'per capita. In California and Colorado, woman suffrage states, the same year, it was $3.83 and $3.70 per capita. In Kansas it was 14 cents and in Oregon 4 cents. (Figures are from the United States Special Census report on "Wealth, Debt and Taxation," Table 1C.) ELECTION EXPENSES. What It Costs to Let Women Vote. The state treasurer of every suffrage state has declared tfiat woman suf frage has not appreciably Increased election expenses. Denver, in 1910, re oofied the lowest per capita (of pop ulation) cost of voting (14 cents) of the larger cities of the United States. In. Cheyenne, Wyoming, voting costs 10 cents per capita (of population), a less sunfthan in any city of its size. It was computed in June. 1918. New York City could vote all -,iat en for Just one-sixth of wv J wom- hpn ofatn& trt vntn itu ' -flt it has 1300.000 in 1017 to men. It cost It was explained ' -ote 691,809 men flclals that an ' - by the elertion of could be equal number of women of 150 .pted for an additional sum hat .0. making $350,000 In all. It . cost the city 43 cents eech to vote its men, but It would only need a per capita expenditure of 7 cents more to care for as many more women at the polls. In Chicago's experience It was found thot the actual additional cost of the woman voter was about one-third. Women pay their full pro rata share of the taxation for election expenses and they have been doing so for more than a century while deprived by law from casting a vote. Antli Honored Dr. Shaw. Antl-suffraglsts are busily defaming the dead suffrage leader. Dr. Annn Howard Shaw, In North Carolina, to day. This Is what they said of her in their official organ under date of July 12. 1919: "There are thousands of women who honored Dr. Shaw for her other Ideals who iKTir did agree with her ouffrage ; views.
