The Mashburn Gap Route was adopted by the State Highway 'Commission after ' hearing the claims of each side l! and the Roberts Gap Road is ', to be maintained by the State as it now is. So far as we are able to un derstand, this solution of the matter is satisfactory to both sides as it gives Marshall tw6 streets or roads maintained by the State instead of one- This will be a decided advantage, in asmuch as one route can be us ed if the other for any reason becomes impassable. We un derstand that the maintenance of the Roberts road was accept ed by the State ib consider tftian of the fact that part of the Mashburn route , had already Sweetwater rouie was ennnni ed because of so much addition al expense to have gone that way But as Marshall will be relieved of maintaining the Roberts route, it can afford to give more attention to the road leading to Little Pine Creek. This seems to be a happy solu tion of the whole matter. MARSIDLL COLLEGE NEWS Dr. A. J.

It seems that the same kind of disposition, mentally spank ing, of course, aonlies to all of na in this field. We have reasonably good health. We are able to move along with our accustomed duties. We get up in the morning, eat our breakfast and go to work. So on throughout the dav we aro busv with our ex- sential duties through which we make a living or amuse ourselves. This routine goes on from day to day, week to week, month to month, and the years follow each other in rapid succession. This accustomed routine is only varied occasionally as we vary our interests in the three cardi nal occupations of mankind work, love, and play. Little by little we in dulge in things that we have been told are not good for our health. We fail to take enough exercise. We cat too much. We especially eat too much of the stuff we should let alone. We indulge in too much coffee and tea. We est too much meat and heavy food when we ought to be confining ourselves mostly to vegetable and cereal diet. We neglect our visits to our dentist.

C. Hot Spr ings, N. C. Dear Mr Plemmons: In reply to your letter of Dec. 1 7 : Tha available sources of informa tion in' the files of the Geological Sur vey gives the area of Madison Coun ty, N. C. as 480 square miles. . . .. Yours very truly, I consider the above the best author ity and have used it as a basis of my calculation on the number of acres contained in this county. In mv last article I overlooked the fact that the geological survey was Made , on a horizontal measurement' and that almost all the small farms are listed for taxation on surface measurement. The difference be tween st horizontal and surface meas urement in our mountains would be easily one third more acreage on a surface than on a horizontal measure ment. The big boundaries of land, such as the; Grove estate, the Boise estate, tha1 Johnson and the Gudger estate figured on a horizontal maaurement euld be many thousands of acres less than if they were figured on a sur face measurement, like very nearly all the small farms are listed. ' These and other larger boundaries of land are escaping on around a hundred thousand acres or lanancor taxation. To take the county us Sr Lrfcnla huinv tha difference on One- third, is 102,400 acres add to that 137,405 acres on the smaller noun 7&fdaries and we have the sum of 139,- mb acres f land that la not listed for taxation at all At ten Collars lcr acre, a sum of $1,398,050 valuation on a rate of $2.05 is equal to $28,660 000 in taxes. In view of this condi tion it's no wonder that every small farmer who has listed every foot of his property complains, when it is known that these big land barons arc escaning on at least onethird of his "pro rata share of the public expense. There is no escape for the man who owns. a town lot, he pays on its iun cash .value. Too, it is to be noted that these same boundaries owned by the big fellows are assessed at not over 80 per cent of their actual cash value. I do not think that these big land owners have been intentionally over looked bv the taxing authorities, hut the difference between the two meth ods of surveys has never been thought of by the authorities. On the other hand, I have no doubt that thes big land owners have had lots of good laughs at the taxing authorities for never having discovered the ditter ence. While the smaller farmers are cut ting timber from their lands to pay their taxes with, these big land own ers can hold on, and on, since the carrying charges are so small. The small farmers have never discovered the difference between the two meth ods of measurements and have gone along and paid very much more of the public expense than they should have done. No wonder that 506 farms and town lots went on the block last year, all of them the homes of the small fellows. '.The small farmers cannot conserve their timber and pay the high taxes I required of them. , The high Inxes are having their effect on the cnurcn- as well as other things. People are so hard pushed for money to meet their taxes that they cannot pay tnc -preacher what he should have. Some might not pay if they had plenty oi money, but others wouia. ney, dui omen, wumu. t. -- - - .Ati . -r - v? ..

Mr, Doughton, reviewing these enormous suras, states that taxes are high nough, and that is no news to tne man that pays the bills. With the different taxing units going into debt more and more every year it looks that soon we will be at the mercy of the money changers, if we have act already arrived at that point. It does appear to me that some means must be found whereby reduc tion both in assessment .ana raw can be made. We must perhap ! without some of the things we would) like to have, and if it's necessary then let us do without until we are .hl to have them. Since 1920 K looks as if every taxing unit were do- r tag all in its power to sell all the bonds and borrow from any and ev- i ery sojurce possible, disregarding the . , time pay-day will come, ana, w, forgetting that the people are not able to carry the burdens. - ' In many of tiie city and county governments we lack good business men. A good Dusmess man known by how much he' can go into debt, or by careless spending, but P kown by how little he can spend, get ting1 he last farthing of value out of the 'dollar spent. Some of our public men are entire ly too careless with other people's! credit, and just so long as other peo nia'a mAit can be used so as to be , let. some private gain to themselves, . na in wwi auu Plans, if there are any, are so often, changed by those who expect gaf for themselves out of the public trial in thn end means no plan at all, inso far as the pubic wefare is concerned. Napoleon said, "By sticking to no plan you risk being beaten every where." CULLOWHEE STATE NORMAL. The office force of Cullowhee State Normal School is keeping busy these days, taking care of the heavy corres pondence concerning the spring anl summer quarters. President Hunte says if one can judge by the volume of the present mail and the number of advance reservations, the spring and summer quarters should exceed in attendance that of any previous year, by from fifty to one hundred students. Something like 250 are definitely anticipated for the spring quarter. And these are all Normal students, since the high school department has been entirely elimated. Plans are be ing made to accomodate young wet men in the Da vies Hall as well as ha the young men who now occupy the Moore Dormitory. This means tha, Davies Hall will find accomodations in the community for the spring and- summer quarters. It has been the expectation of the authorities that a new ' dormitory. would have been ready for the un mer. making it possible to hv S hundred more boarding students than. V we had last year and year before last) But the State Advisory Budg Coaen mission requested thatt the erection of the proposed dormitory he defearr- ed for a while.
