Noble Weaving Net
For The Tax Evaders
>ffirial Intends To Get Tar Heels
Dodging Big And Little
Taxes.
Raleigh.—The weaving of a net
lesigned to catch both the big an i
ittle tax evaders that have so far
teen slipping through the meshes
if the old tax collecting net of the
State department of revenue is on®
if the primary objectives of the re
rganisation now in progress in the
lepart.ment under the direction of
executive Assistant Commissioner
if Revenue M. C. 8. Noble, Jr., it
vns learned from authoritative
ources For while both Commiv
ioner of Revenue A. J. Maxwell and
Vssistant, Commissioner Noble art
reserving an oysterian silence with
egard to their reorganization plans
nme of the investigations conduct.
id so far by Assistant Commission
>r Noble indicate that one of his
principal objectives is to stop up
he leaks resulting from tax evasion
ind thus bring into the State treas
try between $1,000,000 and $2,000.
100 a year more than is now being
ollerted.
There are several things to indl
ate that Dr. Noble is not at all
satisfied with the system now in
ise for listing taxpayers and for
•ottecting taxes from them. The
luestions he has been asking and
nventigations he has been making
n the various divisions of the rev
nve department for the past three
■r four weeks indicate to thought
ul observers that he is undoubted
y contemplating a new plan of
organization and procedure that
rill compel hundreds, if not thou
ands, of firms and individuals who
o far have been evading the pay
nent of any state taxes, or at best
mly a small portion of what thev
hould pay. to come across with the
Ull amount due the stRte.
It is also believed that this is in
looord with what both Governor
. C. B Fhringhaus and. Commis
inner Maxwell want him to do and
nth what Commissioner Maxwell j
ins been trying to get time to do
or several years. Considerable pro
gress along these lines has been
nade by Commissioner Maxwell
ho within the past two or thr»e
ears has plugged up a good many
io)es in the old tax collecting ma
hinerv he inherited, much of it a
arry-over from the old regime ol
he late A D Watts, and has col
®eted some $2,000,000 in bark tax®',
ome of it from wauld-be tax eved
rs But Commissioner Maxwell has
lad so many different details to
->ok after, so many complaints lo
ear and so many other things to
o. that he has never gotten around
o a thorough house-rleanlng in his
apartment or perfected a complete
eorganization It is also generally j
nown that whenever he started to!
(lake anv material changes in anv
larticular division, so many obstac
•s were put in his path, both bv
he politicians and taxpayers who
lidn’t scant any of the leaks stop
icd. that he was usually prertv
■ffertually stopped before he got
tarted
But Noble job <s to wade into
hp department, mav out a plan o'
rcanization that will stop the leaks
nd get the monev and to put thi.
ilan into operation regardless of ‘he
ears of the tax evaders, the pleas
f the politicians or the stjuaks of j
he job holders who may no long®.
>e Job holders. There, is no doubt
hat these are his orders from th»
(overnor, with the approval of Com
nissioner Maxwell. And there is
■very indication that Noble is do
ng his darndest to carry out thes*
irders.
There u> nothing to indicate 'hat
s’oble is going to do anything ’a.i
cal. however. For during the seven
ears he was Associated with th®,
State department of public mstruc
tlon. he never made a radical rec
ommendation by Dr. Allen, al
though he was recognized as being
progressive and not afraid to try
out, new Ideas and methods. So
while there is no doubt that Noble
is going to try out some new ideas
and new methods in the depart
ment of revenue in the collecting
of the state's revenue, there Is noth
ing to indicate he Is going to do
anything radical
It is manifestly unfair to th<ve
who are paying their taxes to the
state to permit any who should pay
taxes to escape from doing so, It is
pointed out, and Governor Ehring
haus is believed to hold to this con
viction. It is expected, that there
will be some squawking and that
some of the politicians will say it
is bad politics to admit that every
thing has not been perfect hereto
fore. But the public is erpeeted to
approve the move.

the rain came in torrents. Had we
not left right away we would never

it has proven to be so. The back I

Cee-Cees Win City
*33 Baseball Title
Defeat Shelby Mill Clnb In Close
Game 1-0. Fine Hurling
Dnel.
In another good baseball con
test played at ihe city park Sat
urday afternoon the Cleveland
Cloth mill baseball team won
the city title by defeating the
Shelby mill outfit 1 to 0.
The first game of the series was
won by the Cee-Cees. while Satur
day week ago the two teams battled
to a 1-1 tie In a 12-inning clash
The final game was almost as good
as the 12-frame deadlock with Blur
Gold, hurling for the Cee-Cees. and
Bay Benson engaging in a sensa
tional mound duel.
Gold, although a little wild, had
a shade the best of the duel but
both hurlers w»ere in peak form and
in all probability there would have
been no scoring at all had it not
been for a wild throw. The Cee
Cees made their lone and winning
tally on a wild toss. With the bases
loaded the ball was played home
to nip a player at the plate, then
Silvers threw wild to first, trying for
a double killing, and the runner
who had advanced to third came
home That was the end of the scor
ing for the day with both clubs giv
ing the two hurlers brilliant sup
port.
"Shorty” McSwain starred afield
for the Shelby mill team while Ken
Ma.vhew, on third, handled a half
dozen chances to feature for the
victors. Lee, for the Cee-Cees. and
McSwain, for the Shelby Mill, set
the pace for what little hitting there
was off the- two big right-hand
:hunkers.
The Cee-Cees shot a’ somewhat
makeshift lineup on the field due to
the fact, that Hicks, ■ Gold, Finch.
Fisher and Little have left for
school Bill Collins was used on
first, Cline Lee on second, "Cricket.''
Weather* on short. Mayhew on
third, Benton behind the place, and
the two Bumgardners and Smith in
autfied The Shelby Mill used prac
tically the same lineup as played the
12-inning tie.

Scientists Differ
Over Creation Of
Human Life Again
Leicester. Eng.—Scientists may
as well abandon hope that life
some day will be produced in
a test tube, members of the
British Association for the Ad
vancement of Science were told
by a leading biologist last week.
Dr. James Gray, eminent. Cam
bridge University professor, predict
ed that the mystery of life never
will unfold Itself to man. He ad
| vised his colleagues to cease "wast
| ing further research in the attempt"
, to solve It.
He contended that life must be
regarded as something that existed
"from the beginning." rather than
having evolved from inanimate ma
terials
No Evidence.
"Biology provides not one shred
j of observational evidence,” Dr. Gray
\ asserted, "to support the spontan
\ eous origin of living matter in the
world today. Would any serious
credence be given to the suggestion
| that a motor car or even a foot
print on the sands came spontan
eously into existence without the
intervention of directive forces?
"Why, then, should we accept the
spontaneous origin of living matter?
It is possible—but it is so improb
able that if considered as an ob
servable phenomenon in any other
sphere of thought, it would be dis
carded as the figment of a deranged !
Deep Mystery.
'I am inclined to think that the
intrinsic properties of living mat
ter are as mysterious and as fun
damental as the intrinsic properties
of the molecule of a radio-active
substance,” Dr. Gray said "When
the physicist can tell us why one
particular molecule explodes and
why another goes on existing, we
can begin to consider the possibility
of defining the fundamental prop
erties of living protoplasm in physi
cal terms."
