A writer In the New York World charges and proves that the Republican candi date for President has niurdered the English language. An editorial on Hiram Johnson, Governor of California and Progres sive party Vice Presidential candi date, appearing in the Marion Star, of Sept 25, 1912, said; "The black guard in politics does not last long, especially when he le only a black guard, and this one will not last long when he leaves his present office." Sixty-three members of the lower house of the State Legislature sent a. telegram to the Tennessee Legis lature the other day asking that body not to force the suffrage amendment on the people of North Carolina. Probably three-fourths or more of these same anti-suffragist members voted to ratify the 18th amendment which put prohibition on New Jersey, Rhode Island and other States opposed to that law Being inconsistent, however, does not worry these smart Alecs who think all wisdom 1 centered in them alone. is eminently fair that the land own er receiving the greatest good from the highway . should pay the larger taxes for Us construction and maintenance. The road situation in North Caro lina has reached the point where it overshadows, in popular Interests, all other public improvement ques tions. The people earnestly want a better highway system. Sentiment in all sections of the State is de cidedly in favor of better roads. This feeling has passed the propa ganda stage, there are only a limit ed number who still need to ' converted to the good rouds Idea. But there is a vast difference of opinion as to now the construction of better highways is to be financ ed. There is a rather general feel ing to "let George do it" when It romeR to paying the bill. Of course it is only a natural instinct to chrink from further taxation. So if Is in this-direction that the framing of road legislation must proceed most cautiously. An equitable dis tribution of taxes to pay for road work is most essential. We have heard no other plan advocated that appears as sound as taxing in direct proportion to the benefit that va sious persons will derive from the building of better roaH Let him who receives most, pay most., dust rial and Engineering News. TALKING OF TAXES. Under revaluation the highest tax rat in the State is to prevail in the little county of Clay. It will be $1.30 on the $100, but this is a re duction from a previous rate of ji.i 8-4. Scotland comes down from $1.05 to 28 cents, which is the lowest rate In the State. According to The Chorlotte Observer there are only five counties in which the rate will reach or exceed $1. The average re duction is 56 cents, which establish es an average rate of 10 cents for the future. The Corporation Com mission makes contention that while other States .have gone through the same process of valuing property at 100 per cent actual value, only a few "have been so successful in supple menting their property, tax with revenue from other resources and rone of them so frugal in appropria tions and expenditures of public funds." .. . ' - :' ' f- RESORTS TO WORDS. In his speech in On'o, Mr. Roose Telt, Democratic nominee for Vice president, failed to dwell on the league of nations. Forthwith the Republican charged tha he was avoiding the Issue. Next day. at Milwaukee, Roosevelt took note of the criticism and with manifest heat made reply. He declared that be bated to fight "crooks,-' but wo are bt-lup "fed up in this country a handful of crooks with a lot of He, and It was time to McaU things by their right name." It was Roose velt's contention that "a little hand ful of narrow men are tryim to force us to fight this campaign on little, narrow Issues," but that there are "many sincere peop'e who ore honest In their beliefs." His quar rel to whlth those "who oppose the league of nations dishonestly and who try to befuddle this country by dragging In the technicalities." He does not believe that "America first" 1 a proper campaign argu ment to "fiont in the faces of one half or three-fourths of the people or this nation who "want to enter the league of nations." The argument of the candidate is Bound, but the adjectives do not be come the dignity of a candidate for high office in this country. The particular persons against whom the nominee directed his remarks migM meapure up to the full classification, but it were better to have handled It in private conversation than in public speech. It is the first devel oped occasion of the campaign The Observer has found for suggested le1etion.THCharlotte Observer, ROAD TAXATION. The Charlotte Observer recenly published a very interesting editor ial concerning the taxation features to be considered in framing road legislation. The Observer favors the idea advanced by F. T Alexan der, of Charlotte, who believes that the taxes levied for road building nhould be graduated bo that those who receive the greatest benefits trom the construction of a partial lar road should be assessed for the larger share of the cost of the road. Mr. Alexander holds the lew that the drainage law in North Carolina furnishes an . excellent guide to highway taxation. Under the drainage law, the own er of the land whose property re ceived the greatest benefit from the drainage ditches is taxed mor heav ily than the property owner whose laDd Is only indirectly, benefited by the drainage work. This is a common ense view of the situation and offer a system taxation that could be carried out in all fairness to all concerned. The land owner fa any section adrr.itted ' ly receives much benefit from the construction of a modern highwav alongside his property. His ne'gh bor likewise finds hie property en hanced, even though the road I' somewhat retmov! from his land. One man receives direct benefit by virtue of the location of the road a ear hl farm, the other is also benefited, though in a lesser degree because hit land la sot directly ad Jolaiag the road. In such a oaoe it FIFTEEN PER CENT ALCOHOL AND VOLSTEAD ACT N. G. Rockingham county people who are bemoaning the advent of pro hibition and the Volstead enforce ment act will be oleased to learn 'hat there is no limit to the am" of alcohol tfiey can have in cider and other beverages made from grapes and other fruits without brewing or distilling. I The beverages, however, must not be so'd and Jf this is attempted the manufacturer makes himself liable o arrest. As long as the cider fruit juices are used In the home the ir.ker and user is not violating the law and he is made the sole judge or its alcoholic contents. If, how-, ever, the nerson uslntr the beverage' becomes "intoxicated." the privilege is deemed to have been waived and the authorities may step in and seize the liquors and arrest the user thereof. 'Ine question which is now bother ing the .minds of the prohibition of ficials here is: "When is a beverage intoxicating?"' They felt that this' was settled long ago, but the recent! ruling affecting the alcoholic con tents of "home brew'1 has revived the question again. The answer seems to be: "Take things easy and don't make' a tank of yourself." j Mr. Josiah Bailey, collector of In-.' ternal revenue. In declaring the there is no limit to the alcoholic contents of home made cider and i fruit Juices, warned against over indulgence in' this privilege. Mr. Bailey declared that the grapes and other fruits must not, be assisted in' any way in fermenting by the ma-' ker. The separating of the alcohol must be natural. I This privilege announced does not, ' however, give people the right to , distill liquors. There is a heavy penalty for this. j Beverages from the ordinary fruit, juice are capable of "kicking up" j quite a lot of alcohol content, when let alone and with nothing added to mnke them ferment. Only a fruit juice that ferments by the ordinary! process of standing is lawful and j will not make its maker liable to any ' federal penalties. Here is the way some or tne juices act when left strictly alone, without addition of susrar or, aonli cation of heat, a prohibiiton official pointed out: Blackberry J iice will contain as much rs 4 per cent of alcohol. Concord and similar types of gTapes can be hardlv expected to register higher than 10 per cent. The muscat grape of California having a higher sugar content, wil1 go to 15 or 1I per cent. The berry juices generally havp the alcoholic content nearest the limit set by the drys. Longanberrfes. blackberries, raspberries, strawbp ries and the sweeter variety of cher ries come in the same class. All con tain about 4 per cent of alcohol.
