The mill stocks were sold by the South Carolina National bank in connection with the estate of the late James A. Carroll Would Levy Gas Tax For City Streets Charlotte News. How long do you suppose it will be before there appears a movement agitating a gasoline tax for the maintenance of city streets? Al ready the tax on the specific com modity pays for the State high ways and the counties' roads, the six cents collected for government’s revenue constituting about a 35 per cent sales tax at present prices of gasoline. We are willing to concede that anything more than a 35 per cent tax would approach a restraining of trae’e. Indeed, we might go so far as to saw that such a condition in respect to the sale of gasoline has alrerdy been reached, if not passed, but as to just what figure, whether 10 or 2C or 35 per cent, may be ar bitrarily established we do not pro fess; to know. This much, however, is certain that the State government' has found a pretty .source of tax reve nue which it will turn loose no sooner than it has to. Easy of col lection, easy of administration, con forming to the idea of installment payment, the state is well satisfied and automobile owne-s are agree ably comp’acent. Those who use the roads must pay for them, and that Is accepted as a reasonable doc trine despite the fact that it is one of the very few governmental bene ficiaries charged with paying its ovp wav. Almost every other is based cn property ownership. Quality F urniture On Easy Terms. Phone 592. Shelby, N. C. Beneficiaries In This State Get $27,300,000 From Life Insurance !

'To Editor of The Star.' I noticed awhile back in the Clcve ! land Star, They were going to fix Gardner street with gravel and tar. But the gravel G . still here—all covered in grit When they ran out of tar they decided to quit; There's only one way it would have | helped me a bn ; I could sit on my porch without ! getting my eyes full o’ grit ;T am trying to start a racket, not wanting any fuss: But I don’t like to eat so doggone much dust. So if you want them to fix the street when they get more tar. Just place your wants with the Cleveland Star, If you tell the truth, its all right to talk— They ought to move the gravel from where people walk.

Dfoimf in Cotton and Tokirrn and Increase In Grain and Gardrn Crop*. Faieiglit, - As more and more re ports reach his office of the programs being made by North Carolinians toward living-at-home," Oovemor O Max Gardner is waxing more and more enthusiastic about the benefit to be derived from the doctrines he started to preach more than a year and a half ago The latest report* were sent In by Dean I O. Schaub, director of the extension service of North Caro lina State college. Dean Schaub listed available fig ures on acreage shifts from cotton and tobacco to food and feedstutfs and then commented "It Li evident that our cotton were age is decreased by lg per cem and there U also reported a decrease in tobacco acreage, of 67,000 acres While we do not have accurate flgure.v ax to increase in garden), any one traveling over the state is bound to recognise that there was such an enormous increase in gar dens planting vegetables for home consumption that it was Impossible to make an accurate estimate as to garden planting," Since the Insurance of federal and state acreage and crop report* and forecasts a week ago the governor has been receiving congratulations front friends throughout the state on the progress his program is mak ing. His plea that farmers and resi dents of the slate "spread sheets and dry fruit" evidently reached to every corner of the stale, he said today, as he had received numerous letters in which mention of the suggestion was made. On every hand there are evi dences Ural the idea of living at home is gaining a permanent place in the program and policy of farm ers of the state, the governor said and from every section of the stile comes word that the growing of food crops has been almost a salvation to farmers as they found themselves unable to realize any profit from what they call their money crops. In acreage a part of the increase in food crops is listed as follow., wheat increased 89,000 acre ; corn 101,000 acres; oats 17,000; marley, 9,000: rye, 22,000; hay 126.000; no; beans, 66.000; and cow peas, 67,000 Florida s legislature has loinec thoee of 29 othes states by refusing to put a fax op cigarettes.

No private buyer who would maintain the park was. in prospect, and city authorities, considered the property too valuable in its present form to permit it to be changed, decided to submit an offer to purchase, TROPHY FOR | FASTSTEFFERS RAIFKHt f|MW« cvr Tbu lundtomf loving cup ofleyaa | j‘by John A.

Insurance Rates Scored By Roberts SUt»» Automobile Owners "At Merer of Insurance Trml." Roberts Asserts. Auiomobile owners of North Caro lina are "at the merry of the Insur ance trust which has^rbitrarily in creased public liability insurants rates without justification,” Coleman W Roberts, president of the Caro lina Motor club, charged in a state ment Issued in Greensboro. He add ed that the motor organisation will take every legal means to oppose th» recent increase “The National underwriters bu reau. maintained by the large stock companies, has declared that pub lic liability insurance rates shall b* increased up to 66 per cent In North Carolina,” Mr. Roberts said- 'T un derstand that this increase pas b$en arrived at over a two-year loss ex perience period instead of the cus tomary flveyear loss experience period "State Insurance Comnusitoner Dan Boney la to be commended for his initiative in prompt and vigor ously opposing this unjust raid that, will cost North Carolina car owner* at least $1,000,000 annually. ' An increase of 15 or 30 per cent as suggested by Commissioner Boney rates laid down by the Underwriters bureau are obviously out of all pro portion and unjustified. Such an increase in particularly out of line just at thte time in view of.the tact that the personnel of the state high way parol has been more than doubled and the safety financial re sponsibility act, passed by the past general assembly, has just gone into effect."
