AThose who appreciate the effort this
paper has made to keep them advised
of legislative happenings the past six
weeks will show their approval by-re-
hitting the amounts due on past sub
scription and renewing for another
wear. Our Mr.. Hollowell has given the
legislative proceedings right OF the
bat and no other paper in this section
has kept the people SO well Informed
on matters relating to Western North
Carolina.

A TAX DoDGER.

This paper has received from Raj
eigh a printed circular signed "a
Plain Democrat" appealing for help in
opposition to a proposition said to
meet with the finance committees ap-
prevail to have a reassesment of pro-
perty this year. There are too many
tax dodgers in North Carolina already
and we are strongly inclined to the
opinion that a reassesment, properly
conducted, would result in bringing
many of them to books. The wealth
of the State is not sharing fairly in the
expenses of government and some plan
to improve this condition should be
devised. The finance committee is
composed of strong men and patriotic
citizens to whom has been assigned
the task of providing machinery for
the assessment of property and the col
lection of taxes. Mr.. plain Demo
crat" cannot dispute the fact that, IN
der the present system, some pnoperty
pays more than a just proportion of
taxes while the larger proportion of it
escapes without doing it's part. The
circular sounds a good deal like the
vail of a tax dodger and is not calcu-
lied to cause members of the finance
committee to spend very many sleep
less nights. The day when anonymous
communications were considered seri-
ously has passed never to return. Mr..
"Plain Democrat" may be honest and
sincere in his conclusions but the
Withholding Of his name places him
uIlder suspicion. He should have come
out In the open, instead of striking
from ambush.
If the finance committee proposes a
reassessment of property it will be be-
cause the members feel that the pres
ent plan should be so amended as to
guarantee a proper equalization. At
present the assessment varies from Is
up to 100 per cent. The general i'm
preston prevails that if there was an
O4ud4IAdL1OA VI CdAdLIOu, oil -CdAdDl0
property being put on an equal foot
ing, the tax rate throughout the State
would be reduced and an abundance
OF revenu produced for the urgent
needs of the people. Individuals like
GA Plain Democrat" might be required
to Cough up" more cash for their tax
receipts, but we are pursuaded that the
average citizen would find his burden
easier to carry than it is under the
plan now in effect. This paper enter
no fear that a fair reassessment
of property would injure the demo-
cratic party. The people of North
Carolina believe in a square deal. They
ale not going to run away from any
feasible proposition that promises a
remedy for existing evils. For itself,
this paper is willing to be governed by
whatever course the finance committee
may finally decide upon.

popularity with all classes of trades

section, he came from Spartanburg
about two years ago and by his bust
ness energy and great kindness of
heart SO characteristic of the South
Carolinian has built up a splendid bus

A report SEM out from Washington
some days ago p~urporting to give items
for North Carolina carried by the
house public buildings bill, contained
40 reference to Hendersonville. Later
news indicates that this city viii re-
ceive $4,000 towards the construction
of the proposed new postof1ce building
on Fourth avenue West, thanks to the
efforts Of Congressman Gudger, who
insisted that there should be no longer
delay in providing funds for construc-
ton work. If the bill goes through
without change operations that shall
count for something will be in order
before many more weeks have elapsed.

The Legislature can do as it pleases,
o.. course, but we are still favorable to
the sale of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad. 1t is practically
sold, anyway, under a long lease, and
the State could handle the amount Of
fered through Mr.. Duncan to advant-
age. North Carolina needs the money,
but she does not need the railroad.

Tax dodgers may be on guard when
the auditor for Henderson county be-
gins the investigations that it is his
sworn duty to prosecute. If he does
his duty the auditors Office will be
worth $4,000 to the county every year.
II will cost less than $500 considering
the amount paid heretofore to outsid-
ers for auditing the books of county
officers. A paying investment "sure as
the world"

1t is suggested that President Wilson
may consider as his best friends those
who do not ask for an Office them
selves or worry him with recommends
tons concerning the desires of their
friends and neighbors. Talk of this
kind is cheap and sounds plausible.
But actions speak louder than words
Mr.. Wilson may expect his friends to
poster him. Without them he would
never have reached the pinancle of
fame recently attained by the suffrage
OF the American electorate. What
would life be without friends?

t The Legislature should not adjourn
without passing a Statewide good
roads bill that means something to all
the counties of North Carolina. The
burning question before the people of
this State at present is that of good
roads. The farmers are producing the
necessities of life and city folks desire
means OF reaching them. Let us have
good roads at any reasonable cost.

The Stewart House bill requiring
railroads to issue 1000 mileage books
for family use has been put to sleep
in the Senate. Those opposing the
bill explained that they thought best
not to open the passenger rate ques-

between the State and the railroads.

Only one Republican voted for the

law of some kind.
