FEDERAL INCOME TAX.
Tho Governor of North Carolina Tavors It,
Harrison's Expressions.


The New york World OF yesterday print
ed interviews from the Governors OF seve-
raj states on the subject Of the proposed
Federal income tax Among the persons
Interviewed were eX-President Harrison
ana Governor Carr. OF North Carolina
The Worlds dispatch from indianapolis
represented Mr.. Harrison as having SAID
.'The taxing of incomes Is an old meas
IRE and has always been a much-dls-
cussed question. Being a direct tax its
force is Of course more keenly teit and
therefore more vigorously opposed. IL has
always been argued against this system
OF taxation that IL does not benefit the
people at large other than assisting IN
defrayng the expenses Of the Govern
ment and IS, OF course, on that account,
inferior TO other systems OF taxation.
There are many other objections, also,
but do not care to go into the matter 10
greater length"
The special from Raleigh to the same
paper contained this:
Governor Carr Oem.) said: "The people
OF North Carolina warmly favor grad
uated income tax. j might say, without
regard 20 political parties, that a law inn
posing such tax VIII certainly meet
with no opposition in North Carolina.

amount OF income TO be taxed, going as
near as may be 10 the amount necessary
FOR support, say all IN excess Of 5000 per
annum. No statement is more true than
that people who own the most property
are not only best able TO pay taxes, but
have more at stake. When there was q
Government income tax. the men who
paid IL fought il, and their powerful lobby
AZ Washington secured the repeal OF the
law. There Is an income tx I'm North
Carolina. II Is one-half OF / per cent. on

know that there are any objections 70 this
tax.
1T is said that but little money is de-
rived from II. but q United States income
tax would probably be collected by inter-
nal revenue collectors. They collected II
under the old law. and tney certainly
did the work thoroughly. / do not think
an income tax leads 10 any more false
swearing than any other form of taxation.

benefit OF the doubt when IL comes 10

MIR. MARTINS RECEPTION

1t Is or course very gratifying to the

There is no blinking the facts
that lynching by mobs is growing
more common in the north, and
that there is as little disposition to
punish the perpetrators OF these
outrages as there is in the south.
Already, with the year less than
halt gone, there have been nearly
as many lynchings north OF the
Ohio river as we're recorded in the
whole of 1892. People have been
accustomed to look upon lyncbing
as indigenous to the south and the
far west. But the experience Of the
past few months contradicts this
theory, and tavors the impression
that the whole country is returning
to the barbarous method Of infict>
ing punishment. 1t is certain that
the crime of murder is increasing
