Dear Sir: If your board has reason to believe that certain) taxuS&era ia your coun ty have money deposited in banks which they have net listed, yon may proceed to have such taxpayers called before your board for examination, and if it is found that such taxoayers do have money in banks which they have not listed, they are subject to indictment. You will not have the rierht to go to the bank and demand this informa tion, but on the other hand you would have the right to summons such bank officials at the inquiry to deter mine whether or not such taxpayer had listed funds in the bank for ad vialorem taxation. As stated above, if such taxpayer had failed to list such money, he would be subject to in dictment.

It is just as lair tar you to pay tax . on this money as it is for those who have listed. Since I have been working, one man has listed $1366.25; another, $800.00; and still another, $800.00, and many more amounts ranging from $675.00 to $50.00. x . . Some persons may Hi.ve told you there is no way to find out about your money (if so, they are guilty of ajrag and abetting L the crime you have committed), hut if you take .ttiis advice you will get into one of the most embarrassing situations you have ever been in in fall your life. I am going to jput the unlisted money on the tax books if it shakes the whole financial fabric of the county. The Attorney General of North Carolina, presumably one of the highest authorities on the interpretation of ths law in the -state, says in' substance that you had money on April 6 had did not list it you are subject to prosecution. He also says persons un der suspicion may be summonsed before the Board and banker summonsed to testify against- them. This is exactly what will bs ' -done if you do not list your money. I arm, however, willing to give yon boysa break. If yon come and list ygur money yon will not be . prosecuted; but if yon have to be summonsed and it is found that . you have money yon will not only have to list, your money bat , will be prosecuted to the full extent ef the law. , If yea have 4a y dispositioa to stay Mt of coart yew had better year atoaay-aa the slotted liaa. . The fjir thing is ths fair thing. If one pays, let all pay. I have , given you fair warning; if you neglect listing until , the Sheriff : rolls up into your yard with papers it will be too lata to list with-' out cost. . . . " The taxes oh property listed o date on discovery are around " $14CO.00 and the work Is in its infancy.

I think it centers around the words honesty, efficiency, pv(ogressiveness and congeniality. I think of my position as heiad of the school in terms of duty. I owe it to thosi who eke out the wealth that feeds me, clothes me and keeps me warm. They support me that their children may be taught. I owe them the best I have in my shop. I try to help their children develop mentally, morally, physically and spiritually help them as best can to obtain their summum bonum of life. I also owe something to my faculty. I try to deal with them as impartially as it is humltfily possible for me to do. I try to make them feel the fire of inspiration burning within my own soul, and I am glad to lend a hand whs re I can. I feel that I must be loyal to my self. In order to be loyal to myself I must be loyal to those labove me and around me, and follow the right at all tunes as it has been taught to me. I must grow. I can't remain static. This is my day. It may be my only day. My first and last obligation is to the child and all other duties and ob ligations are secondary to urn. It is my duty.to see to it that this mor tal is taught- life, and not merely books th ways of nght Imn and right thinking. I must kal with them as separato ujat f bt. ww ssnaxefe poaaibUiti.s.
