THE SPECIAL SESSION OF
YOUR GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Called For The Purpose of Adjusting The Tax
Rate, But Seems Chiefly Concerned With
a Little of Every Thing Else

been fully reached we are travelling
fast in that direction
The Governors Recommendation
The Governors recommendation
was couched in the following language:
I'm order to meet the fears of the
timid,-for I myself do not fear the
people nor their representatives, re-
commend that the present constitutional
limitation of &C 2-3 cents on the one
hundred dollars worth of property be
reduced to 15c, The limitation does not
apply to tax levied for the support of
the schools. The people of the state
in ninety-nine counties have voted that
the public schools must be maintain
ed for six months and that no consti-
tutional limitation must stand in the
way of this supreme mandate. The
income tax amendment and the amend
ment reducing the limitation from 66
2-3 to 15c are to be treated as one.
This amendment will bring to the State,
by levying a graduated tax from 1 to
2 IA per cent on all incomes, an ad-
ditional revenue of two and a quarter
million dollars.
| After going into the matter thorough
| ly, and considering every possible phase
of the question, / am satisfied that the
reduction to 15c is wise and safe one.
| ''The present income tax levied on
| earned incomes is graduated from i to
| 2 1-2 per cent. For the immediate fu-
ture similar graduated tax on unearn-
ed incomes would produce a revenue suf-
! ficient to enable the state to refrain
| from levying any tax on real and per-
sonal property for state purposes. and
leave all this property to the counties
and towns"
| The Suffrage Question.
Woman Suffrage is going to have hard
| Shedding at this special session. This
fact is admitted to-day by it's best
friends The Suffragists can not count
even upon their friends, many of whom
seem to have contracted cold feet right
here in the middle of August. Party
leaders are bringing every pressure to
bear upon the members to induce them
to save the party nationally by making
Democratic North Carolina the thirty
sixth state to ratify. But no argument
seems to penetrate the antis.~ The antis

WOOL GROWERS MAY
STILL GET BLANKETS
Farmers Interested Should See County
Agent Falls

Forty to fifty Pasquotank farmers
benefited by the cooperative shipment
of wool sent to manufacturers to be con-
yerted into blankets last Saturday. Prac-
tically an entire carload was made up,
the shippers sending wool for from one
to five pairs of blankets per man. Since
last Saturday five other small shipments
have gone, and others will follow dur
ing the next ten days, or as long as
the offer of the manufacturers to make
double blankets for $5 per pair holds
good. Wool made into blankets in this
way represents a saving OF about 40
cents per pound to wool growers. Coun-
ty Demonstration Agent Grover W.
Falls, who is handling the shipments
says that he has had inquiries and re
quests in connection with the co-opera-
tive shipping of wool from practically
every adjoining county, and even iron
Suffolk and Franklin, Virginia. Pas
quotank county farmers are advised
that they may make single shipments
| through him until the offer of the man
ufacturers is withdrawn.

"vThese are inspiring figures" declared
Governor Beckett, "To them every
North Caroiinian can point with par
donable pride. They demonstrate that
North Carolina is per capita the very
richest state in the South. When this
legislature adiourns we will have the
lowest tax rate of any state in the
American Union.
ssThe Revaluation Act was not in
tended to cure all the tax evils to
which the human race is heir. From the
day that Augustus Ceasar issued his
immortal edict that the whole world
should be taxed, all the nations of the
earth have been wrestling with tax prob
lens, and I doubt not that thousand
wears from today the General Assem-
bly of North Carolina will be exerting
all it's energies of mind, and soul and
body to devise tax system that Will

Raleigh, N. c., August 1.-THE
special session of the North Car
olina General Assembly conven-
ed at IL o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. The purpose of this special
session is to adjust the tax rate
to the new valuation of real and
personal property under the Re
valuation Act of 1919, and such
other grave and important mat
tiers as may appear.
But one coming into Raleigh with the
legislators Monday and mingling with
them for a day was almost made to for
get the definite purpose Of this extraor-
binary session. The solons came talk
ing about everything except taxation
and every little Representative and
every inflated senator came with his
pockets laden with local bills. There is
no telling just how long this special
session will last or what it will do.
Three things seem uppermost in the
minds of the members of the Legislature
1. Woman Suff1 age. 2. Good Roads
5. Tick eradication. The latter is a
new way of saying State Wide Stock
law. The matter of adjusting the tax
rate appears a secondary matter, a
thing for committees to worry over and
for members to vote as a matter OF
course.
Oily Governor Beckett seemed not
to forget that the tax rate is the maI
consideration. In his message, dellv
cred to the General Assembly in person
| Tuesday morning he confined himself
| to the matter in hand reserving the dis
| cussion of suffrage and other matters

ever made, and that is saying much

The quota for the United States

Rhodes scholars now living in this
country. About 400 men were can
didates for the "a appointments, the
competition being this year larger
