not, should not, exceed one
dollar.
Through all of the discussion
there were no charges made,
even indirectly, of dishonesty or
incompetence upon the part OF
present county officials and only
by innuendo were charges OF ex-
travagance put forward. The
State system of grading teachers
was attacked by one speaker,
who evidently held that the
county teachers are being vastly
overpaid. A motion to reduce
all county salaries twenty-five
per cent was overruled by the
good sense of the convention.
The Superintendent of Public
instruction was defended by the
Chairman of the Board of Edu-
cation, who nevertheless criti-
cised the Highway Commission
because thirty Thousand dollars
were spent in organization and
administrative expenses by that
Commission before a shovel of
dirt was turned on the roads,
blissfully unmindful of the fact
that over fifty thousand dollars
for like purposes is spent by the
Board of Education, and properly
so, before a child is taught.
Speakers agreed only upon the
of lowering taxes.
Of course a dollar tax rate
would produce in every taxpayer
Of Halifax county that sensation
which has been so aptly termed
a grand and glorious feeling:
provided always that it can be

complishment. We do not be-
Iieve that the sentiment of that
element of the convention which
would have taxes lowered regard
less of consequences reflects
the wishes of the great
majority of the men and
women who make the Halifax
county of to-day. They want,
beyond question, the utmost de-
gree of efficiency in planning and
economy in expenditure, but we
10 not believe they wish to halt

,ially, mentally, or morally; that
regardless of any conquerable
financial difficulties they wish

heir transportation and COM
nunication cheapened and i'm
proved, by the construction
ind maintenance of an adequate
iystem of improved highways.
Inasmuch as these things are
threatened and imperilled by an
lrbitrary and unconsidered reduc-
ion in taxation, we think the
convention misrepresented the
majority in Halifax county. Un-
ess incompetence and extrava-
'ance are clearly proven, it will
axe more than a dollar and
