1t is really amazing that in
a community as intelligent as
Chapel Hill is supposed to be
there should be any serious op-
position to the passage of the
small special school tax upon
which the citizens are to vote
next Thursday.
The new state law establishing
a uniform 8-mOnths term and
greatly reducing both the salar-
ries of teachers and the allow
ances for essential services,
Cheating, lighting, etc.,, pro-
vides that a community may de-
eide whether or not it will sup
plement, through a special levy,
the meagre amount received
from the state. It is under this
provision that the election is to
be held in Chapel Hill.
The vote is on the question of
levying a tax of 18 1-2 cents on
the 800 of assessed valuation.
Of the approximately $50 pro-
perty owners in the village,
about 470 will pay less than 81
a month because of the proposed
special tax, and among these 470
there are 1923 whom the special
tax will cost less than so cents a
month. And yet there are con-
siderable number of citizens
not enough to defeat the tax if
everybody who is for it goes to
the polls, but yet a considerable
number who are planning to
vote NO. 1t seems incredible,
but it is true.
The opposition would be more
understandable if the special tax
would increase the property
owners tax bill. But this is not
the fact. Even with the special
tax included, every property
owners bill for school taxes will
be substantially less than it was
last year. The reason for this
is that the main part of the cost
of conducting the school has
been taken over by the state.

Special School Tax Will
Win If All Who Advocate
It Will Be Sure TO Vote
Check-Up of List Shows That
Advocates of Supplement
Outnumber Opponents

A check-up of the registration
for the special school tax cleo
ton shows that the tax will be
carried if everybody on the list
who is in favor of it will go to
the polls and vote.
There are 1929 persons re-
gistered. This means that, in
order for the tax to be levied,
GIG affirmative votes must be
cast.
In school tax election, the
vote is against the registra-
ton That is to say, the result
is determined not by a majority
of the votes cast, as in the ordi-
nary political election, but by a
majority of the total number of
persons registered. Thus, mere
ly to stay away from the polls
is to vote against the tax.
Not in a long time have the
people of Chapel Hill been so
stirred by a public question as
they have been by this question
of whether or not a tax of 18 1-2
cents on the 500 shall be levied
to supplement the allowance
from the state. Both the advo-
Gates and the opponents of the
supplement haye been extraor-
dinarily active in carrying on
campaign of argument, as to the
merits of the proposal, and in
getting citizens to register.
Committees representing both
factions were present day after
day at registration headquart-
ers, checking off the names of
the persons who came to regis
ter and keeping a count of those
for and against the tax. Of
course there are some voters
who have not disclosed their in
tentions, but the great majority
have not hesitated to say how
they stand. This makes it possi-
bic for the leaders in the cam
paign for the tax to declare with
confidence that they have enough
votes to win-provided that all
who have expressed themselves
in favor Of the tax vote fer it.
The registration closed last
Saturday. Under the law to-
morrow, Saturday, October Z, is
challenge day, and the right to
vote of anybody on the list may
be challenged. The decision
rests with the judges of election:
