INEQUALITY Of Taxation. 7"
Charlotte News.

| CnarlOtte News
Editor Cobb, of the Morganton
| News-H Herald, finds causefor criticism
of the injustice of taxation in Burke
county, and under the above caption,
writes as follows:
"The inequality of taxes as it ex-
lists in Burke county today land no
doubt in other counties also) is a
shame on us and there should be an
adjustment. Go to the tax lists in
the court house land they are open
to the public and you will find re-
turns that must have been terrible
strain on the conscience of those max
ing them, if they have any conscience;
and on the other hand you will find a
large number of property owners who
place fair valuation on their pos
sessions. In fact, these conscientious
men are the ones who are paying the
taxes, while the other fellows are
busy talking about being oppressed
and wondering what becomes of the
'big taxes" they pay.
'If anyone is oppressed it is the
man who gives in his taxes right, and
the fellow who lodges should be
made to cough up" Then perhaps
the levy could be reduced, and the
conscientious man would not have
the burden of his sinful neighbOr to
carry.
"And, again, it is no doubt a
temptation to some men to do wrong
when they wish to do right, when
they see the shamefully low valuation
placed on their neighbours property.
"Let us have an equalization ofas-
sessments for taxes. We do not
know OF a reform that is more need
ed"
No doubt, as The News-Herald
AYERS, there are many other counties
in which assessments are WOefully
out of proportion. 1t is likewise true
that the minority who conscientious
ly pay their share, carry the bulk OF
the burdens of taxation, while many
who are abundantly able to pay their
share, actually put up very little.
On various occasions, The News
has pointed out the unfairness Of as
sessments in this city; with resultant
lack OF funds to meet necessities of
operating the city.
1t is true that there are few mat
tiers in greater need OF reform, and we
are hoping that the next assessment
will result in equalizing the burdens,
and increasing therevenue of the city.

Capital Punishment.
Salisbury Post.

Salisbury Post.
The Asheville Citizen and Columbia
State are two converts to capital
punishment. The Citizen candidly
cOnfesses that, while it has at some
time or other denounced this extreme
form of punishment of criminals, it
has seen new light. The State says:
"After learning from experience
that the abolition of capital punish
ment has been followed by large in
crease in capital crimes, bill to re-
store the death penalty has been in
troduced in the Rhode Island legisla-
ture. The number Of homicides in
Rhode Island is said to each year be
two and a half times the number of
Massachusetts,. In Maine, where State
prohibition is the law and capital
punishment was long ago abolished,
the number of homicides has been
from two to six and a half times as
many in proportion to population as
in other New England States where
murderers are hanged or electro
cuted."
There is nothing new to be said
either for or against capital punish
ment, for the issue is as old as civil
cation itself. The contemporaries
quoted, we may say in passing, how
ever, are edited by men who keep in
touch with every phase of society
men who look at the world not
through one but many glasses. They
understand the types OF humanity,
they have witnessed experiments
without number in vain effort to re-
form the confirmed criminal and they
have come to UNDERSTANDABLE cold
blooded proposition it is, too-that
the only relief society may expect
from this class is its determination.

A Good Sign.
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.

Nor1olk flrgInlan-PllOt-
What is negro?" inquiries the
Boston Transcript.
There is a confession of ignorance
here which, if made sooner, would
have saved this country a lot of
trouble.
The biggest half OF the race prob
lem in the United States was brought
about by the assumption of Massa-
chusetts busy bodies that they alone
knew what negro was, his capabili-
ties and his entitlements. They based
all their meddlesome Philanthropy on
the false belief that be was a white
man with black skin. Now that ex-
perience has exposed that anthropo-
logical heresy and they are driven to
ask what the negro really is, there
may be some hope that his DESTINY
will be left to the moulding of people
who understand his character and
limitations and who are anxious to
do the best possible by him if allowed
the opportunity.

Hint to Mothers.
Durham Sun

Durham Sun.
We have never yet seen a fussy,
slavish, handwriting mother who
was not repaid for all her toll and
care and anxiety by set of as self
ish children as ever lived. A mother
who really has the good of her chill
dren at heart, will teach them as soon
as they can walk not only to help
themselves, but to help others. She
will not bring them up under the i'm
preston that they are unfledged
angels, but dear, wilful, little mortals
who must learn they came to serve
and not to rule. Self sacrifice is a
good quality in mother, but it is
possible TO carry that spirit too far;
it is possible to make sacrifices which
are not only uncalled for and not
necessary, but really harmful in their
effects

Omitted" should be adopted in our

RESULT OF QUARREL

Democrats Of Caddo county went into this
campaign with grudge against other democrats.
AS result they will have the comfort of reflect
ing on the loss of part of the ticket during the
next two years. There is little consolation in such
reflection although there may be some consolation
in having defeated some democratic enemy.
1t is hoped that this will teach the democrats
of Caddo county the needed lesson of party unity
political party is greater than individual feelings,
and the success of democracy in this county is
needed in the development of the work to be done.
From all indications, there will be sent one
republican representative to the legislature
for what? To sit around with the minority and
grumble at everything the majority does. Not a
thing can be done for Caddo county by republican
members. I
This is not said to denounce democrats it is |
plain statement of plain fact There are demo-
ratio votes enough in Caddo county to elect demo
,ratic representatives and for the good Of the
county it should have been done. OF course exper
ence is the best teacher, and by another election
things will be in better condition.

LET THE PEOPLE RULE

Well. its happened. Looks like the democrats
in Caddo comfy were very liberal with the
scratcher, and republicans will fill some of the Of
fees. Just what the final returns will say cannot
at this time be determined. 1t is safe to say how
ever, that the sheriff and county Judge will be re-
publicans, and probably stwo or three other Of
1icers.
The DEMOCRATA naturally was anxious to
see the'democratic ticket wn and win all its can
didates but f the people say differently, of
there is nothing to do but say, Let the People
Rule" Above all things good citizens want good
government. and every loyal citizen will lido what
he can to promote good government,
In the state, the democratic ticket has won,
but by not as large major.ies as was expected.
The vicious fight that has been waged against the
administration the general feeling of dissatisfac
tion over the difficulties that first administration
has to contend with in starting off new govern
ment has had its effects.
The fact that half of this state has Just had
its first experience with government and cannot
understand what it means to pay taxes and bear
its burden of government has brought about a
great amount of dissatisfaction, and any adminis-
tration or party would have the same ditfcultiess

from Mr.. Mason's well-known part of
Jack Brookheld in 1.-The Witching Hour

1t relates stirring story of the times
