ABOLISH STATE TAXES ON LAND.

Enough attention has not been
given by the people of North Carolina
to the tax recommendations of the
Corporation Commission. Chairman
Mcneil has given long and patient in
vestigation to tax questions and has
reached the conclusion that the time
ia near at hand when the State must
depend for its support from other
sources than tax upon land, leaving to
the city and the county government
the funds derived by the land tax. He
believes that proper franchise and
income tax law would give all the rev.
enue desired Some States are already
abolishing State taxes upon property
Governor Folk, of Wisconsin, who
leads in many lines of progress, re-
Gently said:
Eventually / hope to see the State
taxes for State purposes abolished en-
tirely The revenues from franchises
and privileges are increasing so rap
idly that the time is not far distant
when this can be brought about.
Every county in the State is increasing
in population and land is increasing
in value BY the time the next Legis-
lature meets there will be a surplus
of $3,0O0,000 in the state treasury
and ] expect to recommend 10 the
next General Assembly that the tax
rate be further reduced"
Missouri is fortunate in having It's
treasury almost overlooking. 1t Is a
good state to lead in the matter or
taxation that will ultimately prevail
in every State.

The High School Move.
ment.

The movement now on in the
State of Utah to establish high
schools in all the larger school
districts should be heartily sup
ported.
While Utah ranks high in her
public school work she has been
woefully deficient in the number
of high schools in the State. 1t
has been possible for a favored
few only to get beyond the work
of the grades. BY the establish
ment of local high schools the
opportunities for higher education
are brought within the reach OF
/. thousands who otherwise would
90 through life hampered and I'M
prepared TO take advantage of the
best opportunities.
The six large school districts of
Utah county have organized for
high school work. The first
great effort will be to thoroughly
do the work of the first two years
of standard high schools, and BY
so doing be able to transfer full
credit to any recognized college
or university in the state.
Not only must this movement
lift the community educationally
and morally, but must result in
great financial saving to the dis
trict. The average cost per year
to students who go away to school
is about 5000. For fifty students,
the number in the Lehi High
School last year. this would mean
a saving OF $4,000. or an amount
nearly equal 10 the entire cost Of
public and high school combined
in the district named.
There is another important
point to consider in favor of the
local high school. Boys and
girls usually graduate from the
eighth grade at the age of IA
to 10 years. 1t is very desirable
that these young people Should
remain at home for a few years
under the watchtul eye of the
parents who care more for their
children's moral welfare than any
one else can.
1t is a serious reflection upon a
young persons home and associ-
atoms to admit that home is not
the best place for study, The
larger social life Of the college can
be entered into with profit only
by the student of excellent home
preparation.
May every qualified young
man or young woman in our dis.
trict avail themselves of the high
school privileges.
