/. COLD FACTS I:

That our Constitution needs
amending. goes without saying
though we may differ somewhat as
to details.
During the last session OF our
Legislature, Gov. Rye appointed a
strong Committee on Taxation. Its
labors covered quite a period oi
time. during which the committee
consulted and received information
from one hundred and sixty organi-
cations, officials and citizens OF the
state, representing almost every
county and certainly representing
every class and every interest in the
state. That committee says; Any
thing like a complete and thorough.
ly effective reform OF our tax system
cannot now be obtained; and the
chief obstacle lie the inhexible arti.
Gle on taxation in the Constitution
Of 1870. Quoting from an eminent
authority on taxation, the commit
tee further says OF our system: 1T
puts a premium on dishonesty and
|debauches the public conscience,
it reduces deception to u system
and makes science OF knavery; ii
presses hardest on those least able
to pay; il imposes double taxation

munity to the next" The report
also says that capital flies from any
state where there 10 no fxedness OF
taxes! that the property OF widows
and orphans is more highly assess.
ed in proportion to value than any
other classes Of property; that We
have double taxation on property,
which Constitutional amendment
alone can cure; that we have alb
solutely no uniformity in the assess
ment Of property from county to
county,
| Now We not only need reform
in our methods OF taxation, but also
in the cost Of collecting and dis.

The chief point Of interest in the

The newspaper of the past of the
present and of the future was Spoken
of by ]. Kelly POOL president of the
association. in his address here today
at the fiftieth meeting of that asso-

only recommendation. that the asso-

benefits of the pioneer of today that

founded the press association fifty
years ago.

IA TOUCH OF LONG AGO IN MELODY
Old Home Singers Bring "Reminiscences
 to Audience at Hi-Y Lecture

It was an evening of reminiscence
 with happy memories of the past that
 the "Old Home Singers" rendered last
 night at the high school auditorium to
 an appreciative audience The com
 pany of five artists lived up to the
 standard of the former lyceum enter
 tainments that have appeared here.
 Each is a soloist of pleasing uality. AL
 though the program was good from the beginning they did not get their stride
 until they rendered the common home- iy songs of long ago such as the "Old Oaken Bucket "Juanita," and "Swa- nee River
 The program was rendered moro pleasing as the artists changed from
 one style of song to another They did not answer the applause by an encore each time which makes a program long and monotonous.
 Miss Pearl Maupin, the dainty little contralto sang her way into the hearts
 of the audience by the rendition of the
 ballads The Zuyder Zee" and the "Grandfather's Wooing" C. M. Will
 Hams the tenor delighted the audience by his imitation of a lullaby song sung | to half tango and ragtime tune. They formed a mixed quartet and
 sang such songs as Sally of Our Ally Loves Sweet Song" Reuben" and those songs which though nearly for gotten can never grow old to the aver
 age person.
 The next number on the Hi-Y lecture course will be Edmund Cook. the chii- drens poet who will appear here | March 13 in place of February 28 as was before scheduled.

Cap Taylor got wise. and shortly he had organized the k:ddos into two long lines. He stationed bunch of chaps near the steps. with their arms full of fruit, and said, Come on, The kids did.
