A WAVE OF O

Business men, manufacturers, property
owners of every class and kind are joining in
the wave of protest against increasing Govern
mental expenditures and mounting taxes.
Marshall Field & Company, the largest de-
partment store in the world, we believe, have
issued a circular to their wholesale customers
in which they point that while, last year, Fed
eral, State and local taxes took almost y cents
out of every dollar of private income, the pro-
portion will be higher this year because of the
greatly reduced income.
Expenses have not been reduced; they have
been increased. According to the Field tabu-
lation, since 1927 our Federal costs have in
creased g percent, from $780, 600, 900 to
$3,195, 100, 900 a year. And as this is written
Congress is still in session and is trying to spend
another couple of billion of tax money, though
where it is to come from nobody knows.
This is all wrong. 1t is time to call a halt. We
see only one way to do that, and that is to
make economy the watchword of the coming
Campaign. No man should be supported for
election to any office in which he will have
anything to say about taxation or the spend
ing of tax money who will not pledge him.
self to reduce expenses and taxes, even if by
doing so he loses few votes when he comes
up for reelection.
We think that nine-tenths of Government
al extravaganza is due to the desire of legis-
lators to placae groups and individuals whose
votes they desire. 1t is nothing short of rob-
berry, in our opinion, for a man in public Of
flee to impose taxes upon one class of the pub
lie in order to spend the money for the bene-
fit of another class, whose votes, he hopes, will
perpetuate him in power.
1t is time to stop.

FARMS IN THE SOUTHLAND

The Blue Book of Southern Progress for
1882, published by The Manufacturers Rec
ord, shows that there are $40, 900 farms, or
s. per cent. Of the country's total, in the
Southern States. The value of these farms, in
Guiding buildings, was $14,o72, 1926. In
1881 the aggregate value of products from
Southern farms was estimated at S 1907, 000,-
900.
Total value of crops produced in the Unit
ed States in 1881 is estimated to be $4,123,-
100000, r $1,000, 600, 900 less than the 1880
figure. The total for 1881 crops in the South
is placed at $1,649,7S4,000, or forty per cent.
of the country's aggregate.
Cotton ranks first in the South's agriculture
al crop list. The value of the 1881 crop, in
Guiding seed, was $54s,42S,o 900. Large as that
figure is, it represents but thirty-three per
cent. of the aggregate annual value Of all crops
raised in the South in 1881, and it is thirteen
per cent. of the total crop value in the coun-
try. Production of tobacco in 1881 was L.
391, 1895 900 pounds, or Sc per cent. of the
country's crop. The value was 1929 0 900,
a little less than eight per cent. of the South's
aggregate 1881 value.
Grains grown in the South in 1881 aggre-
gated 1,263,s35,0 900 bushels, valued at $780,
$4,000. This was over ~twenty-eight per cent.
OF the South's aggregate crop value.

THE RAILROAD G

The railroads are among our largest tax
payers. In normal times they are the most inn
portant employees of labor and purchasers Of
supplies. They perform a vital service which
no other agency can yet duplicate. And we
led them to the brink of ruin, by subjecting
them to unequally regulated competition from
sovernment-subsidized steamship and barge
lines or the water, and commercialized motor
transportation operating over state-built and
state-maintained rights of way paid for by all
private taxpayers, including the railroads. All
this, as Governor Richie pointed out some
time ago, "has threatening consequences to our
future prosperity, as we'll as to the millions of
our people whose savings are invested in the
railroads, either directly or though savings
banks and insurance companies"
When we deliberately crippled a basic in
dustry we all pay the bill. We pay it in IN
employment, in depressed business, in smaller
tax receipts for the public treasury. At pres
ent most industries suffer from low earning
capacity-but that has been the condition of
the railroads ever since the war, due largely
to an overdose Of restrictive regulation. If
ever the people had an inteest in an industrial
problem, they have it in the railroads.

Mr.. E. B. Jeffress, Chairman,
State Highway Commission.
My dear MI. Jeffress:
On recent trips in the mountain
section, On Routes 10 and 20, l was
surprised to notice by the roadsides
several commercial advertising signs
made on the pattern of the regulation
white cross boards that for generations
have been used at railroad crossings
to warn travellers to look out for ap-
preaching trains. Obviously CONNER
cial signs are so designed only for the
reason that their long use as warn
ings of railroad crossings insures hat
they will catch the eye of the traveller.
l cannot say that they were on the
right of way of the highways, although
they were very near the road. You
will agree with me, l am sure, that
if there is any law by which the plac-
ing of such signs by the roadside can
be prohibited, it should be enforced,
and if there is nc such law, then a bit
of legislation to prevent the erection
of imitation railroad crossing signs
ought to be enacted. A motorist see
ing these advertising signs frequently
is liable to disregard the warning as
he approaches a railroad track.

Mr.. Bryce Parker Beard,
North Carolina Legion Commander,
My dear MI. Beard:
To say that Icongratulate you upon
your election as commander of the
North Carolina legion is but a tame
expression of my feelings; to say that
| was thrilled, is still too mild; to de-
clare the pride of our city and my own
personal pride in the honor you have
received, comes a little closer, but still
does not fully convey my true atti-
tude. Therefore, in order to properly
put myself on record, permit me to
give one, loud, long, lusty wal whoop
for the new legion commander.
Your election has resulted in a dual
honor: first, to yourself; then, to your
city. Salisbury is proud Of you.
l know the legion could not have
made a better choice. Always active
in legion affairs, a veteran of many
battles in the world war, familiar with
every post and its needs in the state,
an able speaker, a capable leader, and
above all, a patriotic citizen, you will
make, l am confident, an ideal legion
commander and achieve much success
and do much good during your tenure
of office.
Permit me, Commander, to salute
you!

sion in the spring Of 1881 and proceeded to the
enactment of a tax bill, together with other
measures designed to relieve the depression, the
belief is that the Treasury could have made
a better showing. But the principal criticism
here is that in the face of depressing condi-
tons steadily growing worse the administra-
ton made no effort to economic or to meet

of Public Instruction.
My dear DR.. Allen:
l am sure l voice the sentiments of
the overwhelming majority of the pa
rents of North Carolina school chill
dren in saying that this is no time for
adoption of new text books but a very
appropriate time for making a fight
for reduction in prices of the books
now in use. 1t is to be hoped that a
recent report that the state elemen-
airy textbook commission has decided
to make a special study of elementary
geography textbooks does o mean
that there is any intention to adopt
new books and discard old ones.
l would be far better to obtain a
reduction in the prices Of the books
being used by the 313,45s children in
the fourth to seventh grades than to
force the parents Of these children to
buy new books. Even though the price
of the new texts might represent a
saving as compared with the price Of

the old, the change would mean that
all would have to buy the new books
whereas only a comparatively few
would have to buy the texts already
in use if no change were made. Now
is moi a time for forcing hundreds of
thousands of people to buy new school
books unnecessarily.

HOOVER DEFICIT LAST TWO YEARS
TREMENDOUS

In his summary of the fiscal year 1882,
which ended June 30th, last, Secretary OF the
Treasury Mills reports a deficit of $685.
900, 900, which with the deficit of the 1881
fiscal year amounting to 1908 ,000,0 600 brings
the deficit of the last two years Of the Hoover
administration up to $3,78S,000, 900.
Instead of a drastic reduction of expendi-
lures in the 1892 fiscal year there was an in
crease. The government spent in the last fiscal
year 5000, OO0, 900 compared with $780,
900, 900 in the fiscal year 1881.
The deficit was the largest in the peace-time
history Of the country, and the expenditures
were likewise the largest outside of war times.
Since the World War, and especially during
the Coolidge regime, which John W. Davis has
characterized as the EZRA of Snug Complac-
ency", the SURPRISES resulting from overexpan-
sion of industry and all forms of business, were
applied to the reduction of the public debt.
All told they amounted to $500, 900, 600, but
this total is wiped out by the deficits of the
last two years of the Hoover administration
amounting to $3,77S,000 900. So that except
for the minimum requirements of the sinking
fund the debt is as large as it was in 1919.
Mr.. Mills review shows hat the falling off
in income taxes for the fiscal year was 43 per
cent, and the total receipts of the government
amounted only to 21,000,000.
Commenting on this review, The New York
Times says with respect to the current fiscal
year:
'What hope can there be that the govern
ment will balance its budget in the new fiscal
year, when Congress has provided it with esti-
mated additional revenue of only $1,118,000,-
900 in the tax bill recently adopted? The an
swer lies in the fact that certain homecoming
items appear among the expenditures for the
old year, that certain economies have been
made and that more will be possible when
Congress meets again. The homecoming
items comprise advances to the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corporation and to the Federal
land Banks Of $500, 000,0 900 and $125, 000,-
900, respectively, contribution of $136,0oo,-
900 to the Farm Boards revolving fund and
an expenditure of So, 5000, 900 for settlements
under the War Claims act of 1928 total of
$4,000, 00O."
The certain economies" referred to by The
Times includes "a reduction of 1865 ,000, 900
made by the President in his budget" the
greater part of which consists of non-recur-
ring items and is not due to any executive
economy; together with, to quote The Times,
"a possible further reduction of $125, 900, 900
made by Congress in the routine appropriation
bills, and an omnibus economy bill expected
to save $4,000, o00-a total of $64O,000,-
600. If no large expenditures are authorized
by Congress at the tag end of the present SEES
sion, and if the Treasury's estimates of revenue
hold good, the budget for the new year will be
brought into approximate balance, except for
the amount required for the sinking fund"
