A Tax Increase!

Various persons and now the President, nave dis
cussed federal expenditures and the need Tor rigid
economy if a tax increase is to be avoided.
There is a difference in calculations as to tne
amount to be spent during the current fiscal year.
But there should be no confusion about the funda-
mental fact that government expenditures have IN
creased steadily in recent years and will increase by
stable amount this year.
The totals of the President differ from those OF
others. but all show more than $20o0O0OOO inrease
over last year. The President presumably charged TO
last wear another $2OOOOOoOO voted by the special Ses
sion of congress Otherwise, his figures would have
shown a $500 0OO,0 900 increase.
How much the departments can save In response
to the Presidents latest economy plea is predetermined
Something to be sure but not enough to take care OF
the increases
Equally probematcal is the question OF revenues.
No one can tell with any accuracy how the slack
times" to which the President refers will affect in
come tax payments.
One of two things will happen. The government
will have to reduce its OUTLAWS materially or tax
increase to meet a deficit is inevitable

! Deputy r. o. Watson. who lives
with his family at the jail. had re-
tired when he heard a voice calling
him early today. Believing 1t to be
an officer with a prisoner. he went
TO the door and called, Have you
got a man for me?" Someone in
the mob answered affirmatively and
Watson unbolted the door. AS he
did this he saw the crowd of mask
ed men and made an effort to throw
the bolt.
The men rushed through, forced
him into his office and took all the
Keys from a peg on the wall.
Going down the jail corridor. the
deputy related. the men unlocked
cell after cell until they found
Moore. The negro. apparently
realizing his fate, went to his death
without a word.
Moore was given a preliminary
hearing yesterday afternoon on a
charge of assaulting Ethel Nor
gan. 5. and Lucille Morgan. z.
daughters Of an Edgecombe county
farmer. He waived examination and
was ordered held for trial without
bond.
Sheriff w. 4. Barden. Of Edge
combe county, ordered the negro
placed In the county Jail pending
his trial at the September term OF
superior court.
Notified as soon as the men drove
off, the sheriff went in search or
the lynchers. He reached the ne
gro's home after the mob had dis
persed and found the body.
Watson said that none Of the
men In the mob had been recog-
nized.
This was the first lynching in
North Carolina since 1921.

The speeches last night reflected
the tensencss and the feeling n
gendered by several weeks Of Bit
ter campaigning. Especially was
this noted in the rally at Tyler
where Governor Moody was bonn
barded by hecklers. but answered
each one he understood TO the
cheers Of his audience.
An interesting development was
Governor Barry Miller that he
would take the stump for Mrs.
Ferguson with an address at Aus
tin Wednesday night. Previously.
State Senator Clint Small. like
Miller. a candidate for governor de-
feated In the first primary, said he
would speak in Waco Wednesday
night for Sterling. Former Con-
gresham James Young. also a de-
feated gubernatorial candidate, al
most at the same time announced
he would vote for Sterling.
Absentee Voting Heavy
Reports Of unusually heavy abb
sentee voting continued 10 bob I'D,
and political observers in plenty
opined the record for primary vot-
ing set in the first primary would
be broken on Saturday. The Texas
Election Bureau was said to have
prepared to handle a vote of more
than 100000. 1t was certain to be
gathered more quickly, however,
because Of the shorter ballot.
At Port Arthur. Ferguson plung-
ed into an explanation Of his wife's
proposal TO enact a law prohibiting
officers from drinking bootleg
liquor. In response TO shouts to
pour ii on. he repeated his charge
that Sterling used to run a com
mon sawmill saloon in Dayton.

hearers to beware OF last minute
