ANYTHING but Il hopeful frame ol
[,rd regarding the prospects for de-
rease in state taxes this year. i made
8: part of my business" he said, TO
u: several members Of the house ana
&enate what they thought would DC
1oue at the present session OF the leg
stature about taxation. Most Of them
cemed to be anxious to reduce the tax
Burdens, but there was more or less
|rneral agreement that if the applica-
on of the state superintendent 1or
. 5pore than a million dollar increase Ill
ne appropriations for the public
;llools was met; the levy for next year
ould not be reduced. The average
,amber of the Legislature seems TO
.ant to do something to Tighten the
cnple's burdens but there arc others
yho seem to care little about the com
. laint that has becn going up all over
he state of oppressively high taxa
ion. 1t is u pity that the people arc
OF in better position TO keep tab on
he attitude on public questions Of the
hen they elect. to the Legislature. If
he constituents OF some of the men,
ers knew how: they vote in the lcgiS-
.ture many Of them would serve one
erm only. Another thing | learned in
olumbia is that Governor Cooper is
l leing generally charged with much "f
lac responsibility for the tax burdens
he people are complaining so bitterly
sainst. There has been Il marked in
= ease in taxation since he went into
2shce and it was not hard for me TO
include from what / heard that if Inc
hould ever ask for office again he will
ave a hard time being elected"
