DON'T CHEER TOO SOON

There are two kinds of tax relief. One OF them
was exemplifed in the bill, recently passed by the
state senate, which would abolish all penalties ac-
crued since 1926 on delinquent taxes and both pen
aIties and taxes for that and prior years.
That, we submit, is tax relief. To be sure, it
relieves only those people who haven't paid their
taxes. thereby putting slight premium on not pay
inc taxes. but it is tax relief nevertheless
Tax relief of another variety is to be found in
the attitude of Representative Tam Bowie, who
swears determination to reduce all but charitable
appropriations by 25 per cent. 1t is, perhaps, a
preferable FORM for it relieves not only those peo-
pie who don't pay their taxes anyhow but those
who do, as WE'LL
Yet we are inclined to doubt very seriously that
either of these instances afirms an overwhelming
interest in the taxpayer. Penalties and back taxes
are to be RENTED only because they are completely
uncoectible or because the job of collecting them
is more costly than warranted by the proceeds. Mr..
Bowie. too, however commendable his attitude,
takes refuge in the knowledge that there are GER
tain budgets which the assembly will not under
any conditions reduce as much 25 per cent,
thereby impeding similar reduction in the budgets
as whole.
Now if Mr.. Bowie had said, 81 favor eliminating
altogether 25 per cent of the manifold functions
the state has taken upon ITSELF it might have been
possible to arrive at working agreement some
where in the neighborhood of what was proposed
But much as we would wish it, neither Mr.. Bowie
nor anyone else has said that-Charlotte News

IT'S NO USE, SIR

Early abolition of the Farm Board, says Wash
ington story, is forecast by friends of President
Roosevelt. We don't believe it.
Time and again we have sought in our poor way
to show that nobody loves the Farm Board, not
even the farmers. Mr.. Hoover himself, whose child
it was, urged futiley in his address to this last
congress that it be emasculated by repeal of the
sterilization power which pegged the price of
wheat at $120 bushel, only to have it slip below
so; pegged cotton at Is only to see it fall below
cents. Still, we don't believe the Farm Board
will 60.
We are afraid to believe it. In the first place,
the Farm Board is an unsurpassed device for spend
ing money. in which connection it falls within the
scope of Shoots Law on the Cost of Government:
''The cost of government will continue to increase,
g. care not which party is in power"
In the second place, abolition of the Farm Board
runs squarely up against Rule No. of the Char
lotte News Primer for Practical Politicians. Rule
No. l asserts that: "Once bureau is established
by act of congress- it can be abolished only by act
of Cod
What Mr.. Roosevelts friends mean, we suppose,
is that they would like to abolish the Farm Board.
Between that and actually abolshing it there are
two large and almost insurmountable Obstacles

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
UNFAIR COMPETITION

In a recent address Representative Joseph B.
Shannon, of Missouri, chairman of the House COM
mittee to investigate governmental competition
with private enterprise, declared:
''The government which pays no taxes, no insur-
ance and which takes no account of many other
items of indispensable overhead which private en-
terprise must pay is able unfairly to undersel the
enterprises of its tax-paying citizens. This, the
committee held constitutes unfair competition
Mr.. Shannon cited many specific instances OF
wartime bureaus which still exist although the
war has been over for IA years. He charged THAI
in many cases the chief activities of these agencies
were in connection with the operation of business
enterprises in competition with local merchants and
others.
This condition exists especially at Army and
Navy posts. where government stores and restau-
rants not only serve persons III the military service
but through the abuse of lawful privileges serve
large portion of the general public to the detrl-
ment of tax-paying business men.
"The conditions which have been revealed TO
this committee of the House of Representatives of
which am chairman are almost unbelievable" said
Mr.. Shannon.
It is an indisputable fact that the gradual en-
croachments of the government in the field of bust
ness have made conditions more difficult for thou
sands of small merchants who pay taxes and other
wise contribute to the support of civic enterprises
The finding of Mr.. Shannons committee should

abuses.-Monroe Enquirer,

BANKS AND DEPOSITORS

1t is remarkable fact that depositors in banks
often deliberately endanger the safety of their
own money by listening to rumors and starting
Withdrawals of funds from banks The country
has had many illustrations of this in the last three
years. The latest and one of the most impressive
is that in Maryland where these Withdrawals were
of such proportions that Governor Richie was
obliged to declare a three-day legal holiday for all
banking in the state.
After issuing the order Governor Richie said:
az believe there is no justification for the with
drawas which have recently been taking place. But
to protect the property and savings of the people
of the city and state these large Withdrawals should
stop. The interests of those who have placed their
money in the banks must be preserved above every
thing else"
The governor has done what the depositors them
selves refused to do. Actuated by fear and demon
allied by rumors they have led an attack upon the
safety Of their own savings. Hundreds of banks
have been unable to weather the storms of fear and
rumor and have been obliged to close their doors
which might have been kept open if the depositors
had been willing to sit steady and cooperate with
the management. No stampede ever served good
purpose.-Spartanburg Herald.

FURNITURE BUSINESS BEATS THE
DEPRESSION"

Charlotte Observer calls attention to the
fact that the furniture business has been
standing up we'll during the depression
This is true of the manufacture of furni-
ture and of retail selling. The United
States Department of Commerce attributes
the stability and sound condition of the
furniture business to the fact that large
number of retail furniture dealers are
heavy advertisers in the newspapers.
The Department of Commerce estimates
that sc per cent. of the advertising funds
of the furniture trade go for newspaper
advertising. One-half of the retail dealers
spend more than 90 per cent of advertising
appropriations for newspaper space.
The correct conclusion is not difficult to
reach in this case. The furniture business
has withstood the depression" and bust,
ness has been reasonably good in this line
because itAhas been consistently advertised
The greater part of the advertising has
been done by retail dealers; and that i;
the pointsatl which all retail selling must
be stimulated. Good business for retail
furniture dealers means good business fol
manufacturers. The same is true of any
line of manufacturing and selling.

AVERY AND MITCHELL CONSOLIDA
'-. TON PROPOSED

By request, Representative Hutchlns OF
Yancey county has introduced bill in the
House providing for the annexation Of
Avery county to Mitchell, or the consollda-
ton of the two counties. The bill provides
that the consolidated county be known as
Mitchell, and it is probable the county
town would be Bakersville. Avery is the
Youngest North Carolina county.
1t is reported that the Representatives OF
Avery and Mitchell are opposed to the con-
soEdation project and that the Senator
from that district, George Greene, is also
opposed to consolidation. That may offer
the explanation as to why Representative
from another county was requested to in
troduce the bill.
The result of this effort at county con-
solidation will be watched with interest,
but it is doubtful if consolidation will be
effected. .. County consolidation proposals
will get into politics and run into walls OF
county pride, local prejudice, narrowness
of outlook and views of citizens, and a
dozen other unimportant difficulties which
will be magnifed by those opposed to con-
solidation These will defeat the consoli-
dation of Mitchell and Avery, and prob
ably any other effort at consolidation made
in the State.
Yet, it is a certainty that no step that
could be taken would bring to North Caro-
lima larger benefits than county consolida,
ton on large STANDARDIZATION of the
number of counties to about one-half the
present number of one hundred.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

March |, 1900
The Times-News,
Hendersonville, n. c.
Gentlemen:
Please permit me space to pro-
test and ask others to protest
against the petition now being
circulated whereby the license
for fishing in Henderson county
will be removed.
I am informed by an official
with the state department OF
conservation and development
that should the license be remoy;-
ed in this county that no fish
from the hatchery could be fur
nished from the state department
and no help rendered in the pro"
lection Of fish in the county.
Surely this county with its large
patronage from tourists would
want to increase its fish instead
of destroying them.
The license money is used IN
the protection of fish and to
maintain the hatchery for the
futher stocking of streams:
Within the past wear Severai
hundred thousand fish have been
supplied in this county for
stream, and in no other way
could this new stock be supplied
The protection and propaga-
ton of fish is' financed by the
license and those who enjoy the
sport through the license plan,
and the money is used only for
this purpose.
Yours truly,
VICTOR L. GURLEI.

OF
MONEY AGAIN
i. s. PROBLEM
New Administration to
Face Nations Greatest
Financial Problems
By VIRGIL PINkLEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March /. (UP)
The greatest. financial problems
in the history Of the nation will
confront the new administration
after March 4.
The Democrats return to pow
er in the fourth year OF the de-
preston to face at once a treas
ury deficit exceeding a billion
dollars. On February %, the
figure was placed at $1,360,916,-
387. The outstanding public
debt is more than $4,000, OOO,-
900.
The slump in federal revenues
grows greater each month. A
sharp increase in the amount OF
money being boarded again is
worrying authorities. Incomes
have been greatly reduced and
tax collections are far below the
figures anticipated.
These are only a few Of the
problems demanding attention
from Mr.. Roosevelt when he
| moves into the White house
Working side by side with the
new president will be William H.
Woodin, the incoming secretary
Of the treasury.
The demand for a balanced
budget is becoming more insist
ent. Bankers. economists and
Iindustralists testifying before
the senate chest minds" commit
tee which is seeking advice on
means Of ending the depression,
declared a balanced budget was
the first need and economy the
second.
Congress has proved it cannot
economic. The government is
spending approximately three
billion dollars a year, about one
billion of which goes for the care
of war veterans. The "lame
duck" congress refused to reduce
this appropriation.
Other issues before the new
administration include:
First. War debts. Foreign ma
tions owe the United States
about $1O,OOO,000,000.
Second, Legislation to strength
en- the banking structure of the
nation to protect depositors.
More than 10000 banks with de-
posts of five billion dollars have
closed their doors in the last 10
years. Moratoriums have been
declared in Michigan and Mary
land.
Third, Agricultural relief.
Fourth. Tariff revisions to
stimulate international trade.
Fifth, A new tax program to
balance the budget.
Sixth. Direct relief and work
for the unemployed and desti-
tute.
The Democrats will have suf-
ficient majority in both houses
of congress to facilitate and as
sure passage Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
reconstruction program.
| Political leaders here antici-
pate some difficulty if the tax
question is reopened. There still!
is considerable agitation for a
sales tax similar to the one now
being operated in Canada. How
ever, friends close to Mr.. Roose-
welt say he opposes such levy.
He once was quoted as saying
he was "horrified" at reports he
would recommend sales tax to
congress. President Hoover. in
several special messages to con-
gress, has proposed a manufac-
turers excise tax. He emphas.
lied once that industry could
not be taxed further without
creating a dangerous situation.
