TAX MUST BE RAISED

power or authority given it by the
people. The difficulty in this matter
arises out Of assessing the property
of the state at a much higher value
than it has heretofore been assessed,
without changing the law in regard
to the amount of levy to be made by
the board of county commissioners,
and it no doubt has been unfortunate
for the people to have the assessed
valuation so increased and the fixed
levies not changed to conform there
with; but this court must take the law
as it finds it and interpret it according
to the clear intention of the law-ma-
king power. No doubt it the legisla-
turc had known that the assessed val
uation was going to be so much in
creased, they would have changed the
fixed levies at the last session, but as
they had no information of any such
increase, no change in the fixed levies
was made, and this court has no power
to change such levies."

Her Opinion of Congress.

Representative Roddenbery, who
comes to congress from Georgia, has
no illusions about the Importance of
his job or the esteem IN which national
Legislators are held at home. He tells
this story:
A little Georgia boy whose father
had just been elected to the legisla-
ture of that state, said one day.
Nav, pops pretty big man now,
amt he?"
ooh, l dunno" answered his
mother.
eff he makes good record they'll
send him ITO congress, won't they,
maw?"
II dunno. Maybe. / amt ever had
much use for congress since they
wouldn't pay for the cotton that was
stole durin' the war Still, If they
want to send your paw up there it
don't make no difference as fur's I'm
concerned. They can't swat congress
too hard to suit me" Brooklyn Eagle.

Broaden 1t, Mr.. burlington.
S,tatesville Landmark.

h.
Mr.. z. Y. burlington, member of
the legislature from Iredell, has an
nounced that he will introduce in the
general assembly which meets next
month bill making it a felony for
any person holding an office OF trust,
profit or emolument within the gift
of the state OF North Carolina to
enter the employment OF others for
thepurpose of bringing suit or action
against the state"
Mr.. burlington would do we'll to
broaden the scope OF his measure.
He should make ineligible for any
"office of trust, honor or emolument"
any attorney oremploye of any pub
lie service corporation. The public
service corporations make it a bust
ness to secure their ends by retaining
as attorneys men in public position,
or by lending their influence to the
election Of attorneys already retained
to those positions. Any lawyer has
right to accept service with public
service corporation, or any other
corporation, but he has no right to
undertake to serve the corporation
and the people at the same time, for
he knows he can't deal squarely with
the people in any conflict of interest.
You cannot serve God and Nam
mon. When Marion Butler, while a
senator from North Carolina, ac-
cepted a retainer to bring suit against
the state he committed an infamous
offence; but his offence was no greater
than that of the lawyer who seeks
and accepts office as the representa-
tive of the people and at the same
time is the paid attorney OF a cor
poration whose interests the repre-
sentative Of the people will have to
consider in connection with the rights
of his constituents.
The Landmark is with Mr. Turling-
| ton In this matter, but let's do the
business straight. 1t is folly to beat
the devil around the stump. The Of
fence he seeks to make a felony may
not be committed once in a genera
ton, but it is wise and proper to
make it possible The offences The
| Landmark enumerates are so COM
mon they have ceased to attract at
tention, aud vet no candid man can
deny that they are less heinous-
and because OF their number and the
opportunities offered, they are in
finitely more dangerous to the rights
OF the people.
1t will be easy to pass the act Mr..
burlington mentions because no.
body is directly concerned. There
will be much applause and much de-
nunciation OF Marion Butler, for
Marion will have no friends TO appear
for him. But to introduce a measure
such as The Landmark suggests in a
legislature where special interests will
be represented by retained attorneys,
will take courage and it will mean a
fight to secure consideration. Mr..
burlington has the courage and his
experience as a legislator fits him for
the work. Here is an opportunity
for him. or for some one who would
do something worth while for the
people.

Shameful Neglect.
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.


The brave men of the life-saving
service show as much heroism and
undergo as many hardships in time
of peace as the brave men Of the
army and the navy do in time of
war-Boston Globe.
This is the simple statement OF a
simple fact. And yet the Govern
ment, while properly and in a sub
stantial manner recognizing the one,
absolutely and shamefully ignores
the other. The men who patrol
Uncle Sans coasts in fair weather
and foul, daily ieopardizing health
and constantly risking life and limb
in the public service and in the inter-
est of humanity, perform a service
the value of which is above and be-
yond any estimation in dollars and
cents. Certainly they deserve such
measure of consideration at the
hands Of the Government as shall in
sure their old age against want and
their widows and orphans against
restitution, in the event they lose
their lives in the performance of duty.
Lie ulCCdCeS vi HullduiUy dHu cOlH-
mon Justice demand that much; the
good of the Service renders it inn
perative that they be granted no
less. The persistent refusal or neg
lect of Congress to provide a retire
ment and pension system for men,
bers of the Life-Saving Service can
only be accounted for by the coast
guards are too few in number to con-
stitute an appreciate factor in poll
tics, and they are not permitted to
unionize Otherwise it is a foregone
conclusion that this has for years
been denied to justice, humanity and
the good of the Service itself would
long ago have yielded to political
expediency.

HOXSEY FLIES HIGH OVER

Los Angeles, Dec. 3O.-Arch Hox-
sey, of Pasadena. Cal. holder Of the
worlds aeroplane altitude record
11,174 feet-yesterday flew over
Mount Wilson, the highest peak OF
the mountain range which rims the
valley in which Los Angeles, Pasa-
dena, and the towns of the orange
belt lie Under ideal weather con-
ditiono, he scared 1O,OO5 feet into
the sky. and cleared the crest of
Mount Wilson with 1920 feet to
spare.
Hoxsey used a Wright biplane,
equippedfor passenger service, and he
made the Journey from the field to a
point beyond the mountains in one
hour and 20 minutes. The distance
is estimated at 81 miles.
News of his success was flashed to
the aviation field by telephone from
the Carnegie Solar observatory on
Mount Wilson, directly above which
the aviator SCARED. Hoxsey said
that it was fearfully cold, and is Ger
tain that if he had had a recording
thermometer with him, it would have
shown the temperature of the upper
altitude to be far below zero.
(Then to think that the very next
day following this flight and so soon
after establishing the worlds record
for altitude in an aeroplane, the poor
fellow should meet his death in the
same manner that his team-mate,
Ralph Johnstone, did at Denver,
Colorado, a short while ago.

The search for the North pole may

ed. Lincoln needed them during the
civil war. He got them by hundreds
of thousands. One of them became
president OF the United States. After
his term of office expired he made a
trip to Europe. At Berlin he was
hailed as the great general who had
triumphed in the greatest civil war
of all time. Responding to the COM
pliment, he corrected his eulOgist by
saying that he did not triumph alone.
The successful ending of the war was
not his personal achievement, but
the achievement of every man who
enlisted in the union army and his
duty.
General Grant was a man.
After Gettysburg, when the Confed-
crate invasion Of the North was re-
pulsed and the Army OF Northern
Virginia had to go back to the old
line of defense, some sought to lay
the blame for failure on that army.
But the chief commander of the
Southern forces said that no one was
to blame for the disaster but himself.
Yet his soldiers knew he was not to
blame and they loved him for his
magnanimity and pledged him their
lives.
General Lee was a man.
When Chas. Darwin communicated
to his fellow scientists his announce
ment of the famous theory of the
origin ofspecies, another investigator,

The New Years National Magazin. e

The most notable magazine feature of
New Years, 1911, is the symposium OF
holiday greetings from eminent men of
all vOcations and walks of life, published
in the NATIONAL MAGAZINE for January
The issue appears just when the holidays

and ten pages Ofpersonal greetings, with
autograph signatures, in themselves rep

interest to all Americans. and, indeed, to
all who prize the notabiIa and auto
graphs Of famous and prominent people
whose work in life has been well done.
The list includes: Andrew Carnegie
John F. Dryden, Chas w. Fairbanks,
Ebert Hubbard, John Wanamaker, Cen

Each one has expressed his own idea
clearly and concisely, and really what in
itself would constitute the thesis of an
article. The drift of thought in the
country is most fascinatingly mirrored.
II it contained nothing but these greet
