How Tax Experts Are Made
(An editorial reprinted from the
Greensboro Daily News of Sun
day, May 31.)
Forsyth county tax records in
dicate that Ralph W. McDonald
made a voluntary tax return or
listing of taxes only three times
since becoming a resident in
1928. The tax department w,as
compelled to pick him up as an
unlisted delinquent for the years
1929, 1930, 1932, 1935. Tax col
lector advises he was compelled
to levy in order to colect first
three mentioned delinquent taxes.
This information is not given as
campaign propaganda but is fur
nished to any reputable citizen of
North Carolina same as similar
inquiries regarding any other
Forsyth county taxpayer.—Ver
non W. Flynt, tax supervisor in
reply to a telegram from the
Harnett County News.
And it is not given at this
juncture as campaign propaganda
per se; statements by county tax
payers of taxation delinquency
on the part of any other guber
natorial candidate will be given
the same prominence.
We are suing this primarily as
a preface to .asking the question
if the delinquents of North Caro
lina constitute any considerable
part of those untapped sources
from which Dr. McDonald aims
to make up the shortage when
he repeals the sales tax. If so,
we, hasten to prophesy his disap
pointment. The general run of
college professors list their taxes;
and even if they did not, their
combined payments would not
amount to more than about* .05
per cent of the $10,000,000
which the sales-lax levy will pro
duce this year.
As to whether such delinquency
renders Hr. McDonald unfit for
governor we are not going to
say. Many a good citizen, we
daresay, has forgotten to list,
and college profs are notoriously
absent-minded. But we think
that after having "been levied on
three times and then elected to
the- legislature—where he himself
admits having qualified as a tax
ation expert—he ought to have
attended to the matter in 1935.
There are, we think, sufficient
other reasons for not voting for
Ralph W. McDonald for gover
nor, and we confess that any de
cision we may have reached had
been arrived at before hearing
from Supervisor Flynt; but if Dr.
McDonald will find a machine
candidate who has four times
failed to list in eight years, we’ll
agree to vote against him, too.
In the meantime we hardly
know what to do with the state
ment Dr. McDonald is said by
the Harnett County News to have
made in a speech at Lillington
that he had made an intense
study of taxation for the past 15
years!—adv.
Crab Creek cemetery.
He wag buried a warm physical
body but will come forth a glori
fied spiritual body..
There are many things we can’t
understand, and one is why this
good man had to be afflicted and
suffer so long. God only knows.
As Paul said, “We know that all
things work together for good to
them that love God,” Romans
8:28. He could not see the
beauties of nature on account of
physical blindness but, through
the eyes of faith in Christ, he
could see like Abraham of old«
the Holy city, whose maker and
builder is God. I have been in
his home frequently, and never
left without hearing him speak
of the goodness and mercies of
God.
Dear ones, do not grieve but
rejoice. You can cherish the
memory of such a father. He
has left you a legacy far greater
than silver and gold. It is sad
to think of his passing but our
loss is his eternal gain. May we
all look forward to the day
when we shall see him wearing a
robe made white in the blood of
the Lamb. May his Godly Walk
and righteous conversation bring
us all closer to the God he serv
ed and loved so well.
Funeral arrangements were car
ried out according to his request.

loved and admired him as a man

He concluded th,at “you can’t

- Daily Papers Of

support the opposition. In this
territory six papers swung away
from the Chief Executive and
one went over to him. On the
basis of the figures compiled,
only 1.1% will urge his re-elec
tion.
As might be expected, most of
the. papers in the Solid South will
line up behind the Democratic
nominee. One hundred twenty
eight replies were received from
397 papers, and 99 of them, or
77%, will support him. How
ever, it is interesting to note
that a total of 12 southern pa
pers have veered from the ad
ministration and will support the
chief opposition ticket, while 11
are still in doubt as to what
course they will pursue. But,
including the shifts, only 14
southern dailies announce their
intention of supporting the oppo
sition of Mr. Roosevelt.
The North Central States pre
sent some interesting figures.
34% of the 480 papers question
ed replied, and of this number
54%, or 90 papers, will support
the Republican candidate, while
41, or 24%, will be behind Mr.
Roosevelt. Fourteen papers an
nounced they had changed their
policy from four years ago and
six recorded themselves as doubt
ful.
In the Agricultural states—
from which come most of the
grain and meat of the nation—
there is also an interesting pic
ture. A high proportion of re
turns, 36%, was received from
this territory. Questionnaires
were sent to 316 papers and 116
of them replied. Sixty-nine, or
60%, will support Mr. Roose
velt’s opponent. This total in
cludes 10 which suported the
President four years ago. Thirty
five per cent, or 41 papers, in
cluding one which has reversed
its stand since the last election,
aire for re-election of the Demo
cratic president, and only four
list themselves as doubtful.
The Mountain States made the
highest rate of return of any
section, 38% of the 117 blanks
being returned. Here the sup
port for the President and his
forthcoming opponent will be
much more evenly divided, with
the doubtful papers holding a
“balance of power.” There are
eight publications so listing them
selves, while 19 are against Mr.
Roosevelt and 15 for him.
The Pacific Coast publications
register strong disapproval of the
administration. Out of 75 re
plies from 198 papers, 57%, or
43, indicate their intention of
lining up with the opposition,
while but 17 papers express ap
proval of the present regime.
Four papers have switched from
Roosevelt and two have swung
over to him, while seven are in |
doubt as to whom
port.

When you reach your polling place Saturday, June 6, to assist
selecting the candidates for office, it is your individual duty to vote as

In selecting a man for the honorable and responsible position of Gov

Nation? Are you willing to accept promises rather than the actuality
safe guidance—particularly in a period of insecurity? Are you willing
accept inexperience rather than an unselfish attempt at state betterme
If you are egotistical enough to believe you can demolish the fc

occupants in whose veins flows the undefiled blood of loyal, pat
nativity, without also destroying yourself, then you will be careless
casting your ballot.

for which it still must stand—and CAST YOUR BALLOT ON
