There is some confusion in the
minds OF the taxpayers of this State
resulting from the constitutional
change OF the tax rate 10y the late
convention and the change effected
by the House OF Delegates this week
1t will be remembered that the CON
vention reduced the rate on real es-
tate and tangible personal properly
from thirty 10 twenty cents. thus
leaving the total tax rate Of the
State, including special tax of ten
cents for public schools, thirty cents.
but the convention at the same time
lett the tax rate on intangible per
sonal property at thirty cents and
passed provision giving the Legis-
lature in its discretion power 10 in
crease the rate on realty and tangiL le
personal property five cents. the
money TO be used az pensions. The
House OF Delegates. finding that there
would not in all probability be money
enough in the general fund to pav
expenses, interest and pensions, has
very properly increased the tax rate
accordingly. At the same time the
House has reduced the rate on in
tangible property five cents, so that
the tax rate on this class of property
is now twenty-fiVecents. Onall other
kinds Of property the rateis the same.
with special tax of ten cents for
schools, making a total OF thirty-five
cents per hundred.

HOMECOMING

In some of our Eastern States "a
custom has prevailed for some years
To set aside a certain timein the year
when all who first saw the light within
their borders are invited to come
home" We notice that this custom is
TO be adopted this summer in North
Carolina. How would it dofor Us to
have a Homecoming" in old Fred
ericksburg-to set aside some dav
or some week especially dedicated to
welcoming within our gates all who
were born here and who are liv-
ing elsewhere? What happy fam
lily reunions there would be. With
merTy-making old school friends and
war comrades would again meet
each other at the old home From
every State and Territory OF this
country, yea, from beyond the seas.
would they come-some who have
never seen their old home for many.
many years There would toe a ming
ling of gladness and sadness. Some
would come first TO plant once more
flowers on the grave of some loved
one in our Silent City Of the Dead.
Some would come to look once again
at the old home which perchance has
passed into'other hands Some woul
come TO renew the happy associa-
tions OF happy boyhood or girlhood.
Some would come To see mother AMI
father in the old home. All. all
would be welcomed and made happy.
The custom i a beautiful one. and
we in fredericksburg could have "a
genuine homecoming. What do
our City Fathers think OF the sug-
gestion? Is it worthy Of considera-
ton? We think so. What do our
people think? We wantto hear.
