TAXATION IN
THIS COUNTY
(Continued from page one)
erty is chargahle for the payment of
same.
Budget System Not Strictly Followed
In former years the budget sj*em
.was not strictly followed, and county
commissioners made an estimate of
.current expenditures and levied a tax
, accordingly. If their expenditures ex
ceeded the tax levy, nothing was said
I about it. and the result was an accu
mulated deficit. These deficits were
funded by bond issues. While this
practice contributed to the present op
pressive tax burdens, nobody was to
blame for the reason that the expen
ditures in excess of the tax levies were
legitimate and were for a necessary
purpose. 1 do not mean to complain
at any particular board, but very oft
en extravagances and bad manage
ment were allowed to squander some
of our tax money. However, this sit
uation is no longer tolerated, and
while I do not approve of centraliza
tion of power at the State Capital,
some agency or department of the
State was compelled to lay the hand
of restriction upon county expendi
tures, otherwise the counties would
probably have bankrupt themselves.
Therefore, under recent legislation,
counties and other municipal corpora
tions are required to make up a budget
to be approved, or disapproved, as the
case may be, by the local government
commission at Raleigh, and the tax
rates to raise this revenue are fixed
accordingly. The county commission
ers and other governing boards can
not exceed the expenditures set up in
their budget under a severe penalty.
We, therefore, feel that we are rea
sonably secure from further bond is
sues on account of deficits.
Safeguards Against Future Bonds
The local government commission
at Raleigh also has exclusive control
of all bond issues by countie.- and oth
| er municipal corporations, and if a
proposed bond issue is not for a legit
imate purpose, or is untimely, or im
' practicable, it will not be allowed, and
no bonds are legal without the approv
al of the local government commis
sion. The local government commis
sion was established by act of the last
session of the legislature, and wheth
er it has the approval or the disap
proval of the public as a perpetual en
tity, something of the sort was cer
tainly necessary to check the indis
criminate issuance of bonds increas
ing local tax burdens.
We. therefore, come to conclusion
that these bonds are issued and out
standing to the amount of $1,224,600
at the end of the fiscal year, June 30,
1920, including county-wide, school
district, and cities and towns. The
I state can not be censured because we
have created an enormous bonded debt
locally. It is the product of our own
activities and we alone must pay the
bill. This condition is not attributable
to any political party, because the same
prevails in every county in the state,
and every board in this county, re
J gardlcss of politics in late years, is
sued bonds until December 1, 192S. I
hope that, except in extreme cases of
necessity or emergency, the people of
Washington County will not tolerate
any further bond issues until we have
paid off a substantial part of the pres
ent burden.

Honey Bees Block Trailice
In A West Virginia Town
-3>
Rowleshurg, W. Va.—Bees be bees,
as Ellis Parker Butler didn’t say, but
these particular bees almost be traffic
!policemen. Anyway, they had the
“stop and go” sign on Rovvlesburg’s
main street for a while on an afternoon
recently.
About two bushels of bees swarmed
in front of the Hollis store, sending
pedestrians scurrying in all directions
and halting the movement of automo
biles and all other traffic.
W. C. Wilson and others volunteer
ed to save the day. When they ap
proached the bees, however, the in
sects became frightened and after
buzzing around for a time, flew to a
tress oil the old Shoch property,
where they were eventually surround
ed and forced to “beehive” themselves.

Never parehed9 never toasted
Camels are fresh
in nature’s own mild way!
J^VERYONE knows now that Camels are the fresh
cigarette.
If inquiry went deeper, it would reveal that Camels
are the natural moisture cigarette.
That’s important, because in handling fine to
baccos, when you process out natural moisture, you
sacrifice freshness and flavor too.
Camel smokers needn’t worry about that, because
Camels are blended of fine Turkish and mild Domestic
tobaccos that are never subjected to violent process
ing. They need no parching or toasting to make them
smooth, palatable, cool.
That’s why the Camel Humidor Pack is such a boon
to Camel smokers—it preserves the freshness, flavor,
natural moisture, fragrance that are in this fine ciga
rette to start with.
Camels are fresh in nature’s own mild way, and if
you want to see what that means in unalloyed smoke
enjoyment, switch to them for just one day — then
leave them, if you can!
