Our Bet: No Cuts In spite of the fact that, come June .lO, North Carolina will end the current fiscal year and biennium with il.s great est surplus in history, it is a good hot that there will he few it any successful measures for tax reliel. The best may be: there will be NO 'tax cut.s. Thi.s is in spite of the fact that there are more tax reliel bills in the hopper than an adroit fencer could shake a sword at. Indeed, the liklihood i.s therein lies the seat ol the trouble. One, now relegated to limbo, would have repealed the onc-cent crown tax on bottled soda pap; another would take the two-cent per pack excise off cigar ettes; another would repeal the sales tax on food and prescription drugs.- another would abolish the sales ta.x altogether. Another one cropped up this week which would allow pa.vers ot intangible tax to take the amount as a credit on income ta.x. There are others. There’s another side of the coin, loo. There are more than the usual num ber of administrative agencies needing more funds and plying their plight to the appropriations committees. It’s an old, old .saying that too many cooks spoil the broth. Down at Raleigh there is no want for cooks, all, to use navy parlance, bucking for chef. Congratulations to Mrs. Princess Pressley Swofford, who has been in ducted into membership in the North Carolina State University chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, national academic honor society. Easter 1973 For many, Easter 1973, the .season of hope and promise, is happier than any in recent years. Prisoners of war have been repatri ated from enemy prisons. The draH has been suspended. Vast majority of United States fighting men have been moved out from V'ietnam. All of the clouds are not blue. There is the Cambodia business. Arc we about to get into yet another one? Another and serious question: will the North Vietnamese honor their cease fire commitments? Wars and rumors of war, the Good Book says. Yet it would be much amiss not to appreciate and to thank God for the great changes which have occurred since the resurrection of the Prince of Peace was celebrated just one year ago. Man’s inhumanity to man remains the implacable proiblem of man. The Easter season is a time of cele bration. a time of rededication. Conversation at the super market meat counter: “Cutting down on meat?" Yes, but a man’s gotta have some meat if he’s going to work. He continued, "You know, we’re stupid. The kids drink 45 cents worth of soda pop a day, add some other knick-knacks. Cut these out, and you’d have enough to buy a good S,t. Jedeth Roan Davis A Herald feature In February, 19:57, commemorating liie 50th anniversary of Kings Mountain Savings & Loan asso ciation, notes tiiat Director J. Roan Davis, a fledgling attorney, opened his law office here shortly after Ihe a.ssocia- tion was chartered. The Herald’s unsubstantiated mem ory box would place the date 1909. At any rate, Mr. Davis spent all of his adult life as a Kings Mountain citi zen, both valuable and valued. He was one ot the city’s most affa ble citizens, a cordial host, devoted churchman. Mr. Davis was an able city attorney, first assuming the role when Kings Mountain, due to population, was still offioially a “town”. In conversation, Mr. Davis never graduated to the “city’’ class—attained by Kings Mountain in the 1930 census. He continued to refer to himself as town attorney. One of his principal attributes was his ability both to laugh at himself and to enjoy it. He was a one-term member of the North Carolina House of Repre sentatives, defeating his cousin, the late Judge Peyton MeSwain, in a very clo.se Democratic primary. He regarded his chief accomplishment the passage of hi.'-- bill lo disincorporate the Town of East Kings Mountain, the same bill in corporating into the Town of Kings IMountain that area east ot Piedmont Avenue and the Lincoln-York Highway which, up to the bitter county line elec tion of 191.5, had been Gaston County territory. “No," he commented laugh ingly, “no use for me to run again. I thought they were going to run me out of town anyway.’’ Then, seriously, he continued, “I did the right thing. If I had ft to do over again, I’d do it.’’ He liked to relate the story of his representing the late Dr. J. E. Anthony in a damage action against the state highway commission when the present eight-mile stretch to Gastonia was be ing built. The highway had bisected the Anthony farm. “We were going good," he recalled, “and I felt We had the ca.se won. Then a fool juror suggested to the Judge the jury should look over the alleged damage at the site. I knew then the jig was up. They looked. And we didn't get a dime.” It is a remembrance of the Herald that today’s building occupies a lot pur- chased from Mr. Davis. He was proud of his World War I naval service as a reserve ensign and proud to be a Democratic party loyalist. Before his health failed, among his last public appearances was at the open •house dedicating the new Kings Moun tain Savings & Loan Association build ing. This was an institution he served loyally and well, becoming a director in 1938, president in 1961. and, at his re tirement, in 1971, president emeritus.
