SHOULD TAX INCOME
Mr.. Mechanics Report to the
Legislature Forecasted.
Saws 5 Per Cent on the Gross lrc9me Of
Railroads viii Pay the Schools
500. 600.

Mr.. c.. II. Mebane, superintendent Of
Public instruction for the State, has made
public a forecast of his report to the
next General Assembly.
The report is somewhat at length, and
considers the question Of public educa-
ton from various standpOints. 1t is per-
haps the most comprehensive ever sub
mitted to the Legislature OF this State,
and contains the result of much inves-
tigation.
That portion of Mr.. Mebane's report
that Will attract most attention is Gle
part wherein he advocates taxing the
gross earnings of railroads, the taxes thus
derived to go toward the maintenance of
the school fund. He announces himself
as unqualifedly in favor of this PROPOSE
ton. and takes high ground in his argu-
ment in it's favor.
He starts this argument with this itali.
cised assertion: we must have more
money before we can hope 10 educate the
great mass of the people 9 : Most
every one will admit that in order to
increase the school terms, and in orde:
to secure better and more efficient teach.
ers. we must have an increase Of school
fund"
He then asks: where are we to get
the money? Replying to his own query,
he says: The letters following will show
| where other States get an abundance OF
their public funds
Then follows letters from thirty States,
a number of which state that the gross
incomes Of the railroads are taxed, and
in many Of which the amount so col
lected is applied to the school fund.
| Among the States in which the gross

| cent; Rhode Island which gets / per
cent: Texas where l per cent is collected
| one-fourth of which goes to the schools;
| and Pennsylvania, where a tax o. 5 mills
| on the dollar is levied.
He states that While North Carolina
| has a sweeping statute on the subject.
it does not receive one cent from the
gross receipts or gross earnings. Inc
statute providing fer a ! per cent assess
ment on the gross incomes Of railroads
he says was e~masculated By the prov,so
"No railroad or canal company shall Il
liable to this tax if its property IS taxed.
He continues: Il advise the Genera
