Now Let Us. Have Peace.
Lexington Dispatch.

Lexington Dispatch.
For weeks past North Carolina has
been in a turmoil over prohibition.
Yesterday the ballots decided about
it, and to-day it is all over. There
has been strife, extremists on each
side have made trouble and there
are sore spots around and about.
/ Forget it. We have gone into an
election like the freemen we are, and
voted on whiskey. Let us abide by
the result and remember the unpleas-
ant things no more forever 1t is
the glory of this republic of ours that
each man has a voice in public
affairs, being free to form and ex-
press opinions; and it is the glory of
true manhood that after battle of
the ballots opposing citizens, the
| victor and the vanquished, meet and
shake hands, wipe, out past differ
ences, and touch shoulder to shoulder
in some other movement that looks
to the general welfare and upbuilding
of North Carolina. We have had
strife and bitterness; now let us
| have peace

Tax Listing Time..
June the Month of Lies Men
t Who Think it No Harm to
Beat State, County and
Town Out of Taxes.

Charlotte Chronicle.
There is good deal of sense in the
article we print below from the Lex
ington Dispatch about June being
the lying month, for it is during that
month that the people OF this State
return their property for taxation.
Yet much of the lying is done uninten-
tionally. Our observation is that
the general run OF people, asking in-
formation from the tax listers as to
their duties as citizens, make fairly
honest returns. There are some, how
ever, who do not want to be advised
their main idea being to get off as
lightly as possible, and who, for that
reason, purposely avoid asking in
formation of the list takers. The
equalization of tax assessments has
always been a problem, but it is being
gradually worked out. The oath, the
conscience of the people and the alert
ness of the assessors are making pro-
gress in the matter of securing equal
ization. The time Inay come when
the rich will be paying in proportion
to the poor and then there can be a
lowering OF tax rates.
The article in question follows:
Next Monday marks the beginning
of our annual season for swearing
lies. Do not frown-it's so. All over
North Carolina the lovely month of
June is soiled by our swearing false
lily. Men who would no more go on
the witness Standard swear a lie
than they would steal n stick of wood
from Il neighbor's woodpile, think
nothing of taking oath before a tax
lister that they are worth less than
they are. And by George, they don't
think it's any harm! Their code OF
honor would not allow them to
beat" an individual out of a dollar,
yet they have no compunction in
swearing lie to beat" the county
and State out of any amount that is
Justly due 1t requires white honor
and manhood of the highest type to
give in all the property one has, and
there be few who possess these things
to the extent that they are willing
to bear their just part OF the burden
of government. These are harsh
things to print, but they arc true and
every man knows that they are. We
submit that our absurd system o.
valuing property is partly to blame.
but that doesn't square the individ
ual conscience. We would like to
hear sonfe prOnouncements from
the pulpit "along these lines" II
would do more good than some theo
logical discussions we have heard
and we say that with all respect tC
the discourses and the men who made
them.
A tax collectors books contain
more fiction than any nOvelists' &
works,-and as a rule, the fiction in
creases in proportion to the amount
of holdings a man has. 1t has been
our observation that the small prop
erty owner more nearly pays his
proper amount of tax than the rich
man does. And when you get into
the millionaire class, no tax is paid
at all.
