LACK OF NEWSPAPER SUPPORT

Are Called on to Assist in all Good
Movements but Little Appreciated
The weekly newspaper promotes
the interests of the town in which it
is published to such an extent that it
becomes impossible to place an esti-
mate upon it's worth. There is no en-
terprise that does so much for the cor
~poration or the individual citizen as
the paper. 1t stands opposed to the
town knocker, the town fanatic, the
town drones. 1t stands for action as
against dry rot. 1t stands for pro.
2ress as against stagnation. 1t lis
cYer ready to combat the schemes of
Missionaries and as ready to aid the
constructive plans of the wise and
tevel-headed citizens. 1t is for the
upbuilding of the community. The
paper has not yet come into it's own,
however, because it is never appre-
riated to the extent of it's worth by
the people at large. Yet when the
battles are to be fought for town
or county a rush is made to the news
paper office, always to find the loyal
editor ready, frequently without hope
of reward. Many other enterprises
ale encouraged by a bonus, but rarely
is the newspaper offered any such help
and still more often not given the
support it is entitled to. Communi-
tics frequently lose sight of their reai
benefactor when they fail to recognize
the weekly journal as such. The ed
itor and his paper stand as the bul
Warks of defense against the attacks
Of evil or the designing schemes at
fecting the good of the individual or
the town. For these and other rec
sons the newspapers of the town and
county should receive the support of
the public at large in a very liberal
degree, for it is really the most i'm
portant enterprise of the community.

STATE DOG TAX WOULD RAISE
BIG REVENUE, DECREASE DOGS
Charlotte O~bserver.)

A few days ago The Observer stat
cd on information that Rowan is TAX
ing in $4,000 a year on the dog tax
levied under a special law for that
county. There are 100 counties in
North Carolina. Some of these are
smaller than Rowan, but more are
larger, so that Rowan may be taken
as an average county for the basis
of a dog tax calculation. The Obser-
yer figures it out that a general tax
of 81 to- the dog would net the State
the rise of half a million dollars a
year, provided the law should be en-
forced to the extent of catching 80 per
cent of the dogs. Two thousand tax
paying dogs to the county is an esti-
nate so low as to be within the bounds
Of safety. In counties like Mecklen-
burg, Wake, Cumberland, Buncombe,
E.dgecombe, Wilkes, Halifax and
burke, the untaxed dogs will average
from $500 to 5000. In nc county is
the number of dogs less than 1900.
The rule holds good in the sparsely
counties, because the poorer
the family the greater the number of
lousy u The better the land is
adapted to sheep raising, the thicker
the dog abounds. Here is a tremen-
dous, opportunity for raising revenue.
Think of the school houses that could
be built and partly maintained
through the imposition and collection
cf a dog tax! The Observer some
time ago printed the story of an order
for school furniture filled by a Hick-
DRY firm for a county in Georgia, and
the whole of it paid from funds collec-
ted by a tax on dogs. The dogs in
North Carolina should be made to add
to the comforts of the school houses
and to add to the salaries of the teach
ers. In the course of time the reve-
nue. would be reduced from the thin
ming out of the dogs, but a vast amount
of good would have been accomplish
ed meanwhile. The State would have
fewer dogs, but on the other hand, it
would have better paid school teach
ers, better equipped school houses.
and best and more important, posi-
bly,, sheep husbandry and cattle rails
ing would have been given an impetus,
Again The Observer would adjure the
legislature. pass a dog law and get a
monument!

Speaking of dog laws, England

dog tax of $1.85," says a London dis
