The RsyaIuation Act.

While the work of the revalua-
.tion of the property of the state
is yet incomplete, already suili-
cient information has been Sc.
cured to demonstrate the wis
dom of the new law. Fact of the
matter is, it is hard to under
stand why great and intelligent
people tolerated the old system
as long as they did.
The property is now being
|placed upon it's tax books at it's
actual value. Before now no one
knew the real valuation of the
property of the state. When the
work is completed North Caro-
lima will know her valuation. Ev-
cry citizen will know that he is
paying only his pro rata rate of
taxes. The old system of per-
mitting one man to give in his
property at ten per cent of it's
value and another man at one
half it's value has been abolished.
Every tax payer stands on a par
with every other tax payer when
it comes to the valuation of his
property and the pro rata of tax
es he must pay. The small prop
erty owner will not have his prop.
erty assessed at a higher value
than the large property holder.
Each stands on the same basis.
The object of the reyaluation
act is not primarily of raising
more taxes. 1t is one to deter.
mine the real value of the prop.
arty of the state and to equalize
the tax burden. Under the new
law not more than 10 per cent in
crease in the amount of taxes col
lected can be raised. This doesn't
mean, of course, that no one in
dividual will pay more taxes. The
man who has been a tax dOdgel
and has failed to pay his part of
the taxes will of course pay more
but the man who has been pay
ing more than his part will pay
leSs.
The new law is one that should
have been enacted long ago. 1t is
the greatest progressive steI
that North Carolina has taker
since the little band of Mecklen
burg farmers declared their in.
dependence of England. 1t is
law that concerns every proper.
ty.owner in the state. 1t is one
that should meet the approva
and cooperation of every citizen.

The Republican Mountain Counties.

The time is coming along when
the people of this section will be
agltating the matter of a read
Justment of the ninth district by
which there may be established
a more intimate alignment of
county interests-to bring the
democratic household elementally
more in harmony with tself
Mecklenburg has nothing incom-
mon, with the Virginia bordering
counties. They are North Caro-
linlan it is true, but they belong
across the ridge. That section is
out of social, commercial and po-
lltlcal intercourse with this sec
ton, and was brought into the
district with the sole purpose of
keeping it under Democratic con-
gressional influences. When we
ruminate upon the circumstances
we must come into admission of
the fact that we are Withholding
from the people of these counties
a political right to which they are
justly "entitled-a congressman
of their own. Mitchell, Madison
and Avery are constitutional Re-
publican counties. They are To-
Gated in traditional Republican
section. They ought to have a
congressman of their political
faith, if we view the matter from
the standpoint of exact justice
and fairness. They are entitled
to it. The only reason advanced
against Republican Congress-
man from these Republican coun-
ties is that it would break solid
delegation the Democrats have
been maintaining in Congress. Is
maintenance of a solid delegation
advantageous to the party? If
such might be contended it
would be an advantage from the
sentimental standpoint only. 1t
might prove a stroke of good pol.
icy on the part of the Democrats
to permit representation by these
mountain Republicans in con-
gress in recognition of their ma.
nifest rights. For one thing it
would save the workers in the
party the unnecessary worry
which comes their way every two
years against letting these Re
publicanS beat them.
So when the matter of read
justment of the district shall be
come of serious agitation the Oh
server will be inclined to favor
bringing Mecklenburg into clos
err political accord with its neigh
bors, as of old, and at the same
time consolidating these noun
tain Republican counties into 6
nest of their own, and, in blum
admission give them a square
deal" "-Charlotte Observer.

LESLIE Church FOLK
TO TAKE BIG CENSUS

Last Sunday morning about fifty
members of the Live Wire class who
had come out through one of the

hear their leader talk on the topic
of "Our immediate task never real,
lied that he was going to have a. real
JOB for them, but a task" it is and

Interesting experience Sunday.

of larger things ahead, and plans are
ON foot whereby 1t may better serve
the community which is tributary to

entire district, including the country
territory tributary to it, will be made
by the young folks of the Live Wire
class Sunday afternoon. Sunday morn
ing they will come to Sunday school
with their lunch baskets and in walk
ing togs. Immediately after church
they will eat picnic dinner and then
start out in groups of twos and try to
cover the entire territory in the one
afternoon
In addition to this task, the Live
Wire class has agreed to furnish a

of the time until after Easter.
