ators.

The following letter, handed
The Democrat, for publication
by Mr.. Roby Day, and signed by
a number OF Watauga citizens,
has been sent to the President,
Secretary OF the Treasury, Chair
man of the Ways and Means
committee (Hon. Claude kitch-
in), Senators F. M. Simmons and
Lee 5. Overman, and Represen-
tative R. L Doughton. The meth
cd of financing the war is a ques-
tion OF great Importance to the
people. They should think seri-
ously about it and let their rep
resentatives know what they
think. The letter follows:
1--WE, the undersigned citizens
OF Watauga county, N. c., ear.
nestly desire to see a termina-
tion OF the present. war under
such conditions as will be pro-
ductive of the greatest possible
measure of good, both for our
own people and for all the peo.
ple OF the world. To achieve this
result the war must be prosecu-
ted with the least necessary bur-
den, now and in the future, on
the wealth-producers ofthe coun.
try. This end, we believe. can be
obtained only by financing the
war as we 60 without assuming
obligations to be paid in the fu.
ture. Whatever the method or
methods OF raising of raising tine
tremendous sum necessary to
pay the cost OF the war, it can
only be paid out OF wealth which
now exists. Bills that must be
paid now cannot be paid out Of
wealth which will be created next
year or ten years hence. The on
ly question then is whether the
Government shall appropriate
the the little along with the nec-
essary wealth to meet all oblga-
tions incident to the war, or ap.
propriate the wealth and leave
the little vested in individuals
and corporations. Ii the necessa-
ry wealth and the title to it are
both appropriated by the peo-
pie, when the war is over it will
be paid for. Otherwise we shall
be, at the termination OF the war,
debtors to those who have accu.
mulated the nations wealth.
Should the latter methods be fol.
lowed, the worker on the farm,
in the factory and the mine will,
at the close OF the var, be- oblig.
ed to create and replace not ouly
the wealth used in conducting
the war, but great additional
sums OF annually accruing inter
est.
1--WE believe all the wealth nee.
essary to finance the war should
be raised as needed, or immedi
. ately thereafter, by an adequat.
:, income tax and by taxes on
, large estates, preferably BY {
graduated inheritance tax.
1--WE believe any tax on con
sumption. such as the proposed
levy on sugar, increased postagt
etc., to be thoroughly unwise.

/. sentatives to see that our con
, victions on this important mat
ter are clearly presented and ear

Nail 70 The Drafted.

North Carolina bids it's draft
ed men, white and colored, God
speed. 1t is confident they will
get glory on the State. North
Carolinians in the past have nev-
er failed in times OF emergency
and those who have been select
ed for service iu the new nation.
al army will not be diffeHntfrom
those OF the past.
President Wilson has called the
drafted men soldiers of freedom.
The phrase lends a new dis
tinction to these men and that it
is fittlngly chosen can be seen
quickly by those who have con-
sidered the role that the United
States have been playing in the
war.
In the past six months t b Is
country has had some wonderful
schooling in love ofcountry. The
war found some OF the people a
little rusty in their patriotism.
The pursuits of peace are not
calculated to keep the mind cen
tered 90 country. Men had their
affections wrapped up in their
families and in their business and
country was overlooked. But it
did not take the American peo.
pie long to go up head again in
the matter OF patriotism. Only
the occasion was required. Now
love Of country flames in nearly
every breast and all over the
land hearts 20 out in admira-
ton for the men who have an.
swered the country's call, and
who this week have proceeded to
the cantonments to train for the
grim work awaiting them over
seas. They always will be mark
ed men.
No better advice could be CIV
en- these men than has been Civ.
en- them by the president. "rhe
eyes of all the world" he de.
clared in his recent address, to
the men drawn for the service,
twill be upon you, because you
are in some special sense the SOL
diers of freedom. Let it be your
pride, therefore, to show all men
everywhere not only what good
soldiers you are, keeping your
selves fitand straight in every.
thing and pure and clean thru
and thru. My affetionate conf.
dence goes with you in every bat.
tie and IN every test"
These are words to live in the
minds OF the soldiers OF the Na-
tional Army. They will appeal
powerfully to North Carolinians
where loyalty to the govern.
ment has been complete, and we
commend them especially to our
men as they for their posts OF
duty. LIT North Carolinians dc
their part } see that tho Presi.
dents confidence is not misplac'
ed.
The solicitous regard OF all
North Carolinians will follow the
drafted men, remain with them
in their cantonment, 60 will

PLENTY OF INDIANS
 FOR EXTRA FARM LABOR

Apache Indians in large numbers may be secured to meet the labor shortage in the Salt River valley ac- cording to. message received by the defense council from Ernest Seeker, superintendent of the San Carlos re- servation.: Persons in close touch with the situation say from 800 to 1000 Apaches may be obtained for farm labor.
 The Indians of Arizona are fairly good farm hands. There used to be many of them employed around Palo- mas and Agua Caliente. On the reser- vations they have been self support ing in many parts of the state. Prob ably the Apaches are the least agri- culturally inclined. but at all kinds of work they make fair hands. So far there has been no shortage of help in Salt River valley. Probably when it comes time to pick cotton in Sep tember the Indian can be utilized.
