TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Concord TIibnnc.
The public is interested III what the
coming General Assembly is going
to do. Sometimes the things lett
uDdOne are of more interest than the
things done. We have had legisla-
lures in North Carolina that kept
every one in suspense and the hour
of final adjournment was greeted
with n shout. The Assembly to meet
in January will have an abundance
Of hard work and many questions OF
deep interest to settle The Tribune
does not expect to be a guide Tor the
members of that body and will have
but smallsinfuence but is very much
interested in every measure which al
fects the people OF the State and ex-
poets TO speak out on more than one
occasion between now and final adj
iOurnment. The raising OF revenue
will be OF great consequence. now
to raise necessary funds without
placing a burden on some, how to
lew a lust and equal tax on all men
is no easy matter, and We hope the
legislature will consider all things
without prejudice against one class
or another. In order to please every
body it is not necessary to Jump on
IL Jew corporations and raise great
howl and try to tax all corporations
out Of existence In order to do
| something it is not necessary to
| overdO things as some Legislatures
have done, and pass unjust provls-
| ions for raising revenue. We want
to see ii revenue law passed that Will
work hardship on no one and tax
equally, as far as possible, every III
terest OF North Carolina. The tax
dodgers are not all operating under
| corporations and there are thou
| sands of small corporations iii the
State today that are paying more
| tax than their competitors Ill the
same business. The great majority
of corporations are making NOrtf
Carolina rich, they operate on home
capital and build up home interests

| aimed, either Justly at one hits al
and hurts many OF the States most
worthy undertakings. The people
are tired of some of the hypocritica
cries of recent years, cries raised by
some wOuld-be leaders who think tC
curry favor by denouncing some cor
| poration, thinking to be playing {
| popular card We believe that The
next Legislature may be relied upol
to do what is right and that it vii
revise the revenue act so as t(
equalize taxes and not place a bur
den on every corporation. The las
| Legislature had the State scared tt
death all the time and kept bushes:
men in suspense. We hope to SEE
different results when the coming
Legislature meets and hope that thu
present manner OF going for cOrpO

interest will be protected as well a:

USELESSNESS OF THE "SOLlD
SOUTH"
New Berne Journal.

New BPrne JOufndl.
Common-sense politics, therefore, re-
quires that the South should dismiss for
ever its will-o'-the-w fancy that its
soidity for one party, and thoroughly
discredited party at that, can ever make
it dominant in the nation. 1t has no
title to such a position and no reason to
hope for it, Step by step it has de-
stroyed within it's limits all parties but
one. This policy alone is sufficient
warming against any political combina-
ton it can offer. The South should turn
its attention to the possible, the pro
interest, for example, in the protection
of American industries and in other eco
nomic issues. AS a solid political force
it has become negligible quantity in a
national sense.
The above from the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat, is strictly partizan and
unfair criticism, especially SO far as
it relates to North Carolina
This State is solidly Democratic
because it is this party which has
given character and stability to
every commercial, social and educa-
tiOnal interest within it's borders.
The Globe-DemOcrat's party has
had it's opportunity in North Caro-
lima to practice some of it's fine theO-
ries, but if this party had something
OF ''cOmmOn-sense politics" it was
never put into execution while the
Republicans were in power.
Rather quite the opposite, for the
State was discredited at home and
abroad during the political reign OF
others, not Democrats.
The GlObe-DemOcrat further states
the South's political solidness is be-
cause this section desires political
power in the Nation.
The basis for this assertion is hard
to prove, for the political effort, To-
cally, in all Southern States, has
been first to establish a stable and
| economic government within the
State, regardless of how National
affairs might go.
The Democatic party in the South
stands for those very things, pro
lection OF American industries and
other economic issues and because
it does it is kept in political power.
The ''uselessness' is political i'm
agery on the part of the GlobeDen1-
Ocrat.
The political party preserving and
serving the best interests of the peO-
pie, is going to be kept in power in
the South and up to thepresent time
it's name is, Democratic patty.
"Common-sense politics" isnot the
sole property of Missouri. If it is,
the GIObe-DemOcrat has never so re-
corded it, nor is it recorded else
where
