Inheritance and Income Tax.

recommending legislation for both in

lieves the government should impose n
graduated Inheritance tax. and. If poasi-
bic. graduated income tax. He says:

may clearly see the necessity OF proceed
Ing with wisdom and self-restraint, and
may make up their minds Just how far
they are willing TO go in the matter:
while only trained legislators can work
out the project in necessary detail. But
feel that In the near future our nation
nj legislators should enact law provid-
ing for n graduated Inheritance tax by
which a steadily increasing rate of duty
should be put upon all moneys or other
valuables coming by gift. bequest, or
devise TO any individual or corporation
II may be well to make the tax heavy
In proportion as the individual benefited
is remote OF kin. In any event, In my
judgment the pro rata of the tax should
Increase very heavily with the Increase
OF the amount LETT to any one individual
after u certain point has been reached.
II IL most desirable to encourage thrift
and ambition, and potent source OF
thrift and ambition is the desire on the
part of the breadwinner 20 leave his chill
dren we'll on. This object can be attained
by making the tax very small on moder-
ate amounts OF property left: because
the prime object should be TO put n con
stantly increasing burden on the inner
ltance OF those swollen fortunes which
Il is certainly OF no benefit to this coun-
try to perpetuate.
There can be no question OF the eth

termlning the conditions upon which any
gift Or Inheritance should be received.

AFTER THE MIGRANTS

AS the result of the arrest of c. G.
Mills, the young white man who on
Thursday night was arrested for steal
ing an overcoat. -four young white men
of Salisbury Were notified yesterday
afternoon by Chief of Police Miller to
leave town before noon today or else
go TO jail for yagrancy. All left before
the expiration of the time allowed, two
shaking the dust OF Salisbury from
their feet last night.
Mills got speedy justice. In less
than twenty hours after his arrest he
had been tried and convicted and ser
fenced TO a term of six months on the
chain gang. Judge Council heard more
Of the young fellows career last night
and this morning increased the term TO
twelve months.
Mills has been around Salisbury for
several weeas and has been seen as
s~ociating with a local clan that bears
no enviable reputation. Chief Miller
is thoroughly convinced that he is in
dividual that committed robbery at
Mr.. D. V. Peeler's home. Evidence

AWAITING LOCATION
Machinery on the Grounds for a Mann

The Dare Lumber Company, which
has projected a mammoth plant to
be located either in this city or at
East Lake, now has seven carloads of
machinery at the Norfolk & Southern
depot here, being held temporarily,
until the question of location has
been definitely settled. The machinery
is of all varieties and patterns and is
yearly sufficient for the mill.
Some of it has been here since early
In January, while frequent shipments
have since been received
Messrs. Crany and Smith, the last
two members of the company to visit
the city left yesterday after having
conferred with citizens actively inter-
ested in the movement to have the
mill located here. but SO far as can be
learned without having made public
any decision they may have arrived
at in the matter.
The departure Of both parties of
officials who have given the question
of location their personal attention
by visiting the section, without having
announced anything tangible in the
way of results, has left the public
IN considerable suspense concerning
the most important thing proposed for
the city during the last several years.
but it is understood that the whole
matter will be definitely settled with

A BIG
Will Stir the State-Has to do With
the Revenue Cases in Federal Court

h Post has today secured the de.
tails of a case that is to be sprung
shortly in the federal court for the
Western North Carolina district that
will be little short of a national SEN
sation.
There is no thought at this time that
the plans maturing from a quietly con-
Quoted investigation will miscarry.
The information which the Post has
comes from an absolutely reliable
source. It was given by a gentleman
just from Greensboro and is associated
with the revenue cases Which have at
tracted so much attention.
There was no objection on the part
of our informant to the statement that
the Samuels trial, just concluded, will
be insignificant as compared with this
affair.
We violate no confidence when we
say that this. the eighth, congressional
district, Rowan county and Salisbury
will be particularly interested in the
sensation when it arrives.
There is a possibility of the remot-
est kind, though, that the matter may
be hushed. The probability is that it
will not.-Salisbury Post.

TIOLENC- DEATH AT los
Mr.. Jof-n Jenkins. Probably Oldest
Man i'm Eastern Carolina. Said to
Have Been Burned to Death in Jones
County.

Mr.. Joseph Jenkins, who is a hale
and hearty miller in the county at
the age Of 81, Informed the Free Press
of the tragic death of his brother.
Mr.. John jenkins, in Jones county.
Mr.. John Jenkins is said to have been
lO5 years old and was probably the
oldest man in eastern Carolina. He
was burned to death, says Mr.. Joe
jenkins, and the accident is supposed
to have occurred in this maner:
Mr.. jenkins was an inveterate
smoker, and when one day recently
he was left at home by himself, he
stopped in the fireplace to light his
pipe, and tOppled over, his clothing
catching fire. His groans attracted
some workmen nearby and they went
into the house. They found Mr.. Jen-
kins dying from the result of the
burns he had received.
Mr.. jain Jenkins lived, at n time,
with his nephew, Mr.. Jeff Jenkins, in
this city, and has been referred to in
these columns as being Lenoir's old

OUR "oUTsIDE. INSANE.

The Durham Herald says it is about
time "to quit talking about providing
for our insane and do something"
We will remind our friend that the
governor has been doing something of
late and his good work has paved the
way for action by the next legisla-
ture of a nature which will give the
relief to the unfortunates which has
been so long needed. We do not think
any hypocritical plea for false econo-
my will go down with the next :egis-
lature. Governor Glenn has made it
too plain what the state should do in
the way of providing for this class of
unfortunates for any set of men or
newspapers to be able t head off the
legislature in doing its duty in the way
of an act providing for an increase OF
accommodation in the state institu-
tons commensurate with the demands
of the unfortunates who are now get
ting no proper aid or attention. 1t is
a pity this was not done by the last
legislature. Its failure to do this has
just postponed for w years the 1e-
lief that the state owes to this ulfor-
tunate class. The persons in the state
who prevented this legislation last
winter have the satisfaction of know
ing that they have for two years kept
these poor unfortunates out of the
comforts and proper care they were
entitled to-. These men are welcome to
all the comfort they can get out of the
realization of the fact that they are
responsible for the prolonging for two
years at least of the suffering and
misery that confinement in county
poorhouses and jails in1icts upon these
poor people. They saved the state a
few thousand dollars in the matter
of interest on the bonds which would
have been issued had the last legis-
lature lone it's duty. That is glory
enough for them.
