doubt true OF Crab Creek, Green
Giver, and every other township
except Hendersonville and Hoop
ers Creek.
As the question seems to have
been decided that is not right to
force minors to work on public
works, we will say nothing more
about that.
In my opinion, it is outrageous
to compel a man from 81 to 45
years to pay a special tax of six
dollars per year, this, at Zoe on 81
our road tax would give him
$4,000 of property. 80 per cent of
those who thus labor are worth
not $500 of property. This six
days business can t and never will
be enforced, because it is unjust
and wrong no principle putting
the heaviest burden on the ones
least able to bear it.
My idea would be special road
tax on those from 81 to As Of two
dollars, and, if not paid by Jan.
list Of ensuing year, punishable as
misdemeanor by fine of ten dol
lars or five days road work. This
could be collected as other taxes
and used to the best advantage,
and not as now a rush to get
through or spend six days on the
road at any old place and quit.
then for twelve months.
The fair thing, in my opinion,
would be to apportion the road
tax to each township in proper
ton to what it pays. Then each
BID, of township supervisors could
elect COMPETENT man to supervise
the roads of the township and use
the tax money where needed I'M
der instructions from the Board.
He could be paid a sum not ex-
coed two dollars to be fixed by
same Board. This would give local
self-government.
Then if thought best to retain
the chain-gang, it could be used
by any township that wanted it, at
the expense of that township. But
free labor would not have to be
guarded and, from the experience
Eof the town of Henderson, lie q
fnw years ago with the chainzgang
which you remember, not many
town ships would want them.
IR conclusion, as. j have been
rather lengthy, I appeal to the
p-opie OF Hendersonville TO be

HENDERSON AND TAXATION
Interesting Information Concern
ing The Old County, Cleaned
From Report of Tax Commis-

Raleigh, N. G. Jan. II, 1911
There's going to be some inter-
.esting tax legislation during the
session of the General Assembly,
and a well informed man here adj
vances the following ideas as
likely to be Incorporated in the
laws, of the State:
For all revenue for the State
to be obtained from other sources
than property tax.
List takers to be given posi-
bly, three months time to com
plete their work.
That county commissioners
be not allowed to levy a special
tax when such a tax, added to
State and regular county will ex-
coed Sc % cents on 800 cash
valuation.
The next assessment, IN June,
will give the county commission
ers the necessary basis for their
calculations as to whether or not
this viii give them sufficient rev.
enue. F5y ss
In fact, Franklin, Mcneil, Of
the Tax Commission, suggests
that an adjourned session OF the
legislature might be good thing,
to meet after the next. assess
ment, then to fix the tax rate for
municipalities and consider other
tax measures OF course, this -
only gossip, heard around the
capitol, where, If you listen hard
enough you can hear most any
thing.

want law that will, as nearly
as possible, bear on all equally,

her mirror, that she was possessed of a
