Winston Sentinel: We have often
shown by the history of the Republican
party that 1t has never made one strong
effort to repeal the internal revenue taxes.
They never intended to do it, and they
do not intend to do it now. The several
bills which have been introduced by
statesmen" like Mr.. Brewer found no
support from the Republican leaders.
They were simply intended to deceive the
peOple.

DURHAM, n. C.

On the eighth of July, the Democratic
convention for this judicial district will
meet at Greensboro. That much is set

VKhe board of aldermen of Charlotte has
e a very sensible thing in ordering
that returns of personal property for
taxation shall be published in full as soon
as the lists are closed. Citizens are there
by given notice that their eturn of prop
erty will be made public, and it is expected
that the result will be a considerable in
crease of property listed for taxation. 1t
is notorious that very few people make
any return of income, though the law re-
quires that they shall list all in excess of
one thousand dollars. Assuming that no
man wishes his neighbor to think him
poorer than he is, the Charlotte aldermen
are justified in expecting that the tax
lists this year will make a better showing
than heretofore. 1t wouldn't be a bad
idea to have a law similar to the Char
lotte ordinance, applicable to the listing
of property for state and county taxation.
