The Raleigh printing estaDiiSn
mants were the loudest IN thelr ap-
neal for time, one concern Ed"arus
and Broughton, having repfeseh'"
ton bafore the commission in the
narson of former governor l. w.
Bickett. Other local plants were
also interested and they will now
he permitted to submit their DDS LOT
the States work up to and including
the 10th.
State printing has become well
worth bidding for, the bid last year
ran above a quarter OF mlilloA
dollars and the indications are tnal
this years needs will boost the hg-
urss by several thousands. Actual
figures in the cost of the States
printing in 1920 were $23O,22o.zo'
while the paper used by the various
departments cost the State S1l,ioi'-
A.
Few bids have been placed in the
hands of Commissioner of Labor ana
Printing NJ. L. Shipman for the
work. The capital city plants are
the hardest strugglers for the Dusl-
ness since they are on the ground
and are in better position to follow
ND the progress of their bids. The
gates are wide open, however, the
commission welcomes all corners.
Members of the North Carolina
Farmers Union are to petition Sen
ators Simmons and Overman and
the North Carolina delegation in

The State union as an organiza-
tion is to sign the memorial which
will be forwarded to the Tar Heel
delegation in Congress. The State
Council Of the union at its meeting
at the capital urges all farmers to
join in the campaign for the passage
of the Kellogg bill. $50 as to pro-
vide for loans to individual farm
ers.''
Outline of a proposed course Of
action is contained in the following
adopts:
I'VE ask that provision be made
for the lending of money directly to
the farmers by the War Finance Ger
poration or other duly constituted
organization, at a rate of interest
not exceeding six per cent upon his
stable crops.
I'VE see no objection to also pro-
viding for advancement to banks or
middlemen upon these crops, but il
Of this emergency legislation it must
be provided that loans may be made
directly to him, not just to middle
men,
We advocate an immediate re
taxation of restrictions under which
money may be loaned to farmers OIL
their lands by the land banks
Loans ought to be made as freely tc
farmers who rent on IA share as tt
others. We need more appraisers il
the State in order that loans may be
put through more rapidly.
I'VE demand that the burden O.
taxation be lifted by State and Ma
t1on. 1t is more than the peopl
can bear. This calls for reduced an
preparations, reduced salaries, cut
ting out all unnecessary Offices, dc
partments and expenditures.
The burden Of taxation in Nortl
Carolina was shifted on to the farm
ers under the Revaluation act. w
demand that it be shifted back. Il
no spirit of menace do we say tha
between laying taxes upon farmin,
lands laying taxes on profit-bearin
property now escaping taxation. W
have no doubt as to where wisdom
and Justice Joined, nor as to wha
the will of the people is. We hav
not framed this issue but it has bee
forced upon us. We are ready fo
the conflict
Negro congregations in Mort
Carolina are being asked to ioin !

ing Dill now before Congress. tt
