CHARGE 1T TO THE TARIFF

The prohibition policy of the seven western states which went dry
on the first OF the year wipes out 5000 saloons at a stroke and closes
numerous breweries and distlleres. And incidentally it gives congress
a new decrease in government revenue to offset by some other form of
taxation. This is another n OF the items that the Republicans cal now
charge up to the Underwood tariff bill.

CHINA WELCOMES
AMERICAN MONEY.

Chinese newspapers are unanimous
in welcoming American capital into
China to build railroads. The an
nouncement of the conclusion of the
agreement whereby Stems and Carey,
financed by the American information
al Corporation. are granted a CONTRACT
for over two thousand miles of rail-
way costing approximately one hun
dred million dollars gold, has been re-
ceiVed with great enthusiasm. Neither
the Chinese public nor the Chinese
press has any fear that the United
States has any Interior motives.
Since the death of President Yuan
Shi-kai, the most important single
fact in the history of China has been
the signature OF the Stems and Carey
railway agreement" says The Picking
Daily News. ut reintroduces into
practical politics a principle that was
in danger of being forgotten. Ameri-
cans do not seek political power. in
1uence Or spheres. They seek trade
and trade only, and they have now
assumed that other Nations seek moth
ing more and really mean what they
say when they pledge themselves to
the maintenance of the open door and
equal opportunity for all in China.
"All the powers interested have ex-
pressed their adhesion to the princi.
pie of the open door, but in spite of
the lip service rendered to this doc
trine there has been sneaking desire
to evade its real consequences. Great
Britain. more than once when ION
British schemes have appeared to have
TamiicatiOns that reached the Yang
ts9 valley, has been obviously uneasy;
as witness the French port Of Pukoy
scheme and the Japanese Hankow de-
velopment project. Japan has almost
openly repudiated the open door doc
Jrine. The Japanese vetoes on the
Railway, on the
observation-disclosures project and on
Mr.. KnOX's Manchurian railway neu- ,
t~ralization proposals. all go to show
that Japan has in her heart repudiat-
ed the open door dogma long ago. The
Japanese demands Of last year., and
the corollary to them to be found in
the side issues raised in connection |
with the Chengchiatun negotiations. |
only confirm them. Russian Giplo- |
macy for several years, and her latest
displays Of 1.-THE treaty with
Japan and the protest against the
presence of members for Outer Mon
golia in the Chinese parliament-can
only be interpreted in the light of a
reputation of the doctrine of
the open door. The Germans nearly
did the same thing in Shantung previ-
Ous to the outbreak of the war.
Had the Department of State in
Washington set itself to devise a test
,or the sincerity of the powers that
nave declared their adhesion to the
doctrine of the open door and equal
opportunity in China. it would not
devised one better than the pres
mt contract"
Practically all the Picking papers
md the important Chinese papers in
'ther large centers express s~atisfac-
at the decision Of American capt.
to look out for an outlet in Shfna.

older. He had at the same time
grown wealthy and penurious. No

men now did the manual labor of the

the fields and pastures. New build

Naturally the inevitable happened to

Mrs. Jones had long since learned
the futility of opposition to her hus-

from the stall he had occupied so long,

that the chair was sufficiently safe,
our new employe seated himself again,
and the b1omin' chair broke twice.
By this time we had come to the con-
clusion that our new editor was too
heavy for the job and we called off all
negotiations and told him w would
try and get along without his services,
notwithstanding the fact that had
agreed to work for the consideration
OF only plenty of chewing tobacco all

THE STORY OF BLIND BILL.

John Jones is not the farmers real
name, but it answers very we'll.
Twenty years ago he and his young
wife invested their little savings in a
farm and its equipment. Bill end
Fanny comprised the first team of
horses. Bill was a big horse, gentle.
a sure puller, and eve KNOWN to
kick. Our tale does not concern Fan
ny, therefore she will not enter into
it.
Jones was a good farmer and o
paid for his place. This was not az
cOmplished, however without a great
deal of labor and p~erspiration, and in
both the latter Bill had a. large part.
With a steady gait he helped to pull
the c~ultivatOr up and down the long
rows of corn. and on sweltering July
afternoons he did his part in drawing
the heavy Mccormick reaper around
and around the fields OF ripenins
wheat. All this was, Of course, when
Bill was in his prime. Sleek, fat,
strong Of muscle, lie was the willing
servant of Farmer Jones, and with
out complaint performed his every
bidding. And Jones, it may be said TO
his credit, patted Bill very fequently.
and aff~ectionately called him "Old
Boy; and Mrs. Jones. after an espes-
tally hot day, would battle his some
what chafed shoulders and. when no
n was looking, slyly pass him an
apple. Bill, of course, could make 20
reply yet the look of contentment in
his eyes spoke an appreciation thas

SUGGESTED LEGISLATION.

The tax on automobiles is levied IN
excess of the actual cost OF licensing
the machine because the automobile
is supposed to damage very materially
the roads oVer which it is driven. II
is therefore only right and just that
the automobile tax thus collector
! should be used for the maintenance OF
the roads that it is supposed to dam
age. At the present time a portion OF
the tax is supposed to be used IN some
wav or other on the roads OF the
counties in which the automob1llsts
reside. and the balance goes into the
General Treasury of the State. All
of the money raised by this automobile
tax should be used for the mainten-
lance of the main highways OF the
State. and should be done through the
State Highway Commission By do
ing this. the people of the State Will
be sure that his money will be used
most economically and to the best ad-
vantage for the maintenance OF the
main highways of North Carolina. 1t
will also enable the State Highway
Commission to assure the Secretary OF
, Agriculture of the United States that
the roads built in North Carolina by
Federal aid will be maintained. The
State is obliged to make this assur-
ance if it is participate in the Federal
Aid road fund.
From the Federal Aid road fund
North Carolina will in the next five
years receive approximately $4,000.
In order to obtain this money she has
to raise at least as much as approprl-
Lated by the Federal government. The
State will have supervision of the To-
cation and construction of the roads
built with this joint fund. this work
to be lone through the state Highway
Commission. The Commission then
must be equipped with men and sup
plies to enable it to carry on this
work.
In addition to the supervision of
this work, the State Highway Com
mission must be ready and able to as
sist all the counties and townships in
their road work. To enable it to do
these two things which are demanded
of it, it must have an adequate apprO-
priation, and this Commission should
receive at least $4,000 per year from
the State to enable it to carry On the
work that is required of it.
The expense of the maintenance of
the main highways of the State will,
if the automobile tax is turned owe to
the State Highway Commission, be
borne by the State, and this will re-
lieve the counties If this expense. and
give them more money for the main
tenance of other roads in the county. |
There should, however. be some def
mite action taken by the General As
in regard to the maintenance
of u highways. and a general law
should be passed that any county or
township issuing bonds for the con-
.struction of roads must provide each
by special tax an amount equal
to a certain per cent of the value of
he bond issue, and that the money
,hus raised shall be used for the main
enance Of the highways constructed
With the bond issue.

Some legislation should be passed
by the General Assembly in regard to
the kind of lights that automobiles
shall be permitted to use. There is
no doubt but that the binding lights
now used by so many automobiles are
very dangerous to travel at night on
the public roads. These binding
lights that are undoubtedly response
BILE for many If the accidents that
happen at night on the public road.
Without in any way diminishing the
ease and facility of night travel of the
automobile, the lights can be so regu-
lated that they will not blind the
driver Of the approaching automobile,
and yet give sufficient light for the
drivers to see where they are going
even at a good rate of speed.
This question has become so seri-
Gus that it is being agitated all over
the country, and manufacturers of al
tomobiles are giving it serious con-
and many legislatures are
considering legislative action regard
ing it.
