HORSE SENSE ABOUT COTTON

There's a lot of horse sense about cotton
compressed into this paragraph by Roland
Beasley, says The Progressive Farmer-Ruralist
in a recent issue.
IF mortal man has any wisdom about cot
ton, it would seem to be true that the time to
hold cotton is when cotton is cheap and the
time to sell cotton is when cotton is high. Ev-
eryone that we have known to get stuck by
holding was the one who held when it was
high"

Mr.. E. B. Jefress, Chairman,
N. C. State Highway Commission.
My dear Mr.. Jeffress:
In exercising its power of discre-
ton as to enforcement of the law re-
curing 1882 license plates on auto
mobiles driven or the highways on
and after January l, your commits
sion has acted wisely. Your New
Years eve announcement that no ar
rests will be made within 1.-THE next
few days" for failure to purchase new
tags will ave the state many thou
sands of dollars in revenue, to say
nothing of any benefit many car
owners will derive from the leniency.
In 1881 the state licensed $4,000
cars. At the very low average of 10
gallons a week, each car pays into the
treasury 80 cents a week in gasoline
tax. If as few as 100000 cars were
stored as a result of strict enforce
ment of the law requiring new plates
in use January l, it would involve a
loss of 100000 a week in revenue But
there were many more than 100000
without new tags when the new year
dawned.
The last Legislature should have
changed the time limit for buying
new licenses from January 1 to the
18th, or even February l; or else it
should have specifically authorized the
tax commissioner or chairman of the
highway commission to extend the
limit to one of those dates, in his dis
erection, in order to provide legally
for such conditions as now exist. The
present complex and embarrassing sit
uation would have been avoided with
out loss to the state if the 1881 leg
stature had made the provision urg-
ed a year ago.
Immediately after Christmas tens
of thousands of car owners cannot
provide the cash for buying new Ii
censes and have no alternative but
to store their automobiles, if the pres
ent law be enforced 70 the letter, thus
depriving the state of a large amount
of much-needed revenue. The next
General Assembly should change the
law.

To the Telegraph Messenger
Boys of Salisbury:
Again the past week complaints
have reached me that some of you are
endangering your own lives and those
of other people by disregarding the
traffic rules, darting and z~ig-zagging
here and there in the streets, often
right in front of moving automobiles
and frequently between running cars,
causing drivers to have to perform
sudden and unusual maneuvers to pro-
tect you.
I am sorry to hear these reports,
but 1 cannot doubt their accuracy,
for they come from reliable people
who do much driving about the city
day and night. I sympathize with you
messenger boys and have always liked
you. I am for you; not against you.
But some of you are bringing criti-
cism upon your whole group by reck-
less riding. It would be a fine idea i

THIS REFORMER PROPOSES
A REMEDY.

To the Editor:
Coincident with the depression of
the year, there has occurred a sharp
decrease in dates" which has placed
the girls of this Town in an unheard
of state of desperation. This gloom
has not been confined to the one sex,
for we find on every hand fellows who
in the past have conscientiously main
tanned their twice-a--week dates now,
due to adverse conditions, are forced
to sit home and get no necking at ali.
This is a deplorable condition and de-
mands immediate rectifcation. The
obvious solution rests on the sharing of
expenses by both sexes. Most girls re-
ceive allowances equal to that of a
fellow, and the pleasure of choosing
the type of date would more than re-
compense the financial loss. The girl
that enjoys a discussion of philosophy
could spend an evening with an en-
bryo Will Durant; the one that takes
her whisky straight could hobnob with
her Barnadine. L. ]. K.

Mr.. R. L. Rankin,
Chief of Police,
Salisbury, N. c.
My dear Chief:
Please allow me TO congratulate
you upon the record made by your
department last year. The fact that
a total of $50 arrests were made by
you and your men in 1881 is not, in
my opinion, the outstanding work of
your department. To my mind, the
efficient and capable manner in which
the work was carried on is most
worthy of commentator.
I do not believe any police depart
ment in the state of North Carolina
excels that of Salisbury-in service
or efficiency. This, in a large part,
is due to your untiring efforts and
genius as a police executive. Your ex-
perience and ability in directing your
men has been of inestimable value to
the citizens of Salisbury. You have
an excellent organization made up Of
men who are honest, fearless, capable
and congenial.
l join with thousands of other cit
liens in congratulating you.

WHAT WE NEED MOST IS CUT IN
COSTS

Faced with a deficit of over 1000, 000,-
900, the Republican administrator is plan
ming a tax increase that will affect every man,
woman and child in the United States.
1t proposes to include 100, 900 more peo-
pie in the income tax provisions, by lowering
the exemptions.
1t would put tax on automobiles, radios,
telephones, telegraph and cable messages,
amusement tickets, checks and drafts and re-
atty sales. Postal charges would also be boost
ed.
Secretary Mellon proposes to put the new
plan into effect next month and continue it
until June, 1884.
The essence of the administration program
follows:
Individual net incomes up to $4,000, now
taxed one and one-half per cent, would pay
two per cent.
Second $4,000, net, now three per cent,
jumped to four per cent.
Net incomes above $4,000, now five per
cent, advanced to six.
Surtaxes would start at one per cent. for
more than $4,000 net income, gradually in
crease to 81 per cent. for between $4,000 and
5000 and reach 40 per cent. on incomes of
more than 100000.
Personal exemption levels would drop from
$1,000 to $1,000 for single persons and from
$500 to So, 900 for heads of families.
Exemption for each dependent would be
$500.
Corporation income tax would be increased
from II to 12H per cent. and the $1,000
exemption eliminated.
Miscellaneous tax recommendations:
Increase of one-sixth in present rates on to-
baccos, except cigars.
Increase of one cent in stamp tax on soles or
transfers of capital stock.
Extension of the present tax on admissions
through reduction of the present exemption
to 10 cents.
Tax on manufacturers sales of automobiles,
trucks and accessories at five, three and two
and one-half per cent, respectively.
A stamp tax on conveyances of realty of SO
cents for each $500 of value in excess of 500.
A tax Of five per cent. on manufacturers
sales of radio and photograph equipment and
accessories.
A stamp tax of two cents on each check
and draft.
A tax on telephone, telegraph, cable and ra-
dio messages of five cents for charges of IA to
50 cents and 10 cents for charges over SO
cents
These proposals for additional taxes should
be the occasion of a demand loud and long
enough to be heard at Washington for some
real economy. The Greenville News says,
these new taxes will place further restrictions
upon many business activities, besides taking
larger amounts of money for public spending
that would otherwise have been used in our
economic progress and development. Ameri-
cans will pay, without complaint, taxes that
are necessary to meet the obligations of their
government, but they cannot be expected to

DIX AND THE GOVERNMENT
BOTH UNLUCKY.

= X =
To the Editor:
Richard Dix, the movie actor, was
heavily fined the other day for I'M
derstating his income during 1926,
1927 and 1928. He paid.
Well, Mr.. Dix was lucky in having
the money to settle up, and the Gov
eminent played in equal luck in get
ting it. Trying t collect from 1928
Wall Street millionaires would be
something else again. There is moth
ing to collect. In fact, the shoe seems
to be on the other foot. Some defunct
Midases have an idea that the Treas
ury owes them money. They want a
"dole." A sort of "millionaires' un-
employment insurance" In any case,
most of their troubles are due to the
fact that something wen wrong with
DR.. Klein's business barometer" It
wasn't the heat, it was the humidity.
Despite some radical opinions, Wall
Street and the Government are not
under the same quilt. They are "just
one durn thing after another"
What Wall Street leaves you the
Government takes. At least it tries
to. FRED VETTER.
