Mr.. Naxwell's Argument for the
New Constitution


North Carolina.
The basis Of it is the assump-
ton that constitutions should
concern themselves with gener-
al principles. not with arbitrary
legislative functions that, if they

the states experience with Its
present constitution 10 show the
evil effects Of an attempt to i'm
pose too rigid limitations upon
the power Of the legislature.
The limitations with respect
10 taxes have led 10 subterfuges
and evasions they nave been re
sponsible for cumulative deficits
in state and local units, constant
Iv increasing the public debt and
the overhead cost Of govern
nent they have resulted in d
policy Of using the bond issue
method Of financing public i'm
provements which could and
should have been financed in a
more economical way and they
have encouraged the issuance Of
bonds for operating expenses.
Every restriction upon the
taxing power in our present con-
stitution has been cast aside or
circumvented by one means or
another" says Mr.. Maxwell,
"and not single one is observed
in it's original intent" "
A limit Of rate Of Sc 2-3
cents was placed by the constl-
tuition upon property taxes Tor
all state and county purposes; IN
test case the supreme court de-
cided that this did not apply to
taxes for schools, and tax-leVy-
ing authorities were not only au-
thorized but required 10 lay a
levy sufficient to provide for the
public schools. regardless Of how
much the total levy might exceed
66 2-3 cents. The constitution
forbade the creation of debts ex-
cept for necessary public ex-
penses," and governmental bod
les interpreted this phrase TO in
dulge any extravagant whim Of
boom period. THE monu-
mental folly of $4,000, 900 sky
scraper court house in Asheville,
with it's companion city hall, be-
came necessary expenses re-
marks Mr.. Maxwell.
The constitutional provision
requiring all kinds Of property
To be taxed at uniform rate
was soon shot to pieces under
protection Of decisions by the su-
preme court. There are many
loopholes by which it is nullified.
All public bonds are excluded
from it, as we'll as Joint stock
and federal farm bank bonds, in
vestments in building and loan
associations, and insurance poll
cies. Credits still held taxable
are subject TO shrinkage or ex-
tinction by offsetting indebted
ness. And yet, because of this
provision in the constitution, the
legislature is prohibited from
fixing a special rate on "intan-
gibles" and thereby placing upon
the tax books a great deal of
property that now escapes tax
alton.
The limit of rate for Is cents
for general county expenses has
been made a dead letter under
the pressure of necessities
which the drafters of this provi-
sion could not foresee.
The futility of the effort to
prescribe for the future the de-
tails of taxation has been dem
onstrated by the success with
which the one legislature after

All five high schools will have
baseball teams on the field as per

Due to the dramatics which

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
By LOIS LEEDS.

TINE eyes are often the most at
tractive feature Of q woman s
face, and they are always the
i most sensitive to change OF cli-
matte conditions. That is why
they demand special care and attention,
II they are to keep their beauty and
strength.
For example, 1t is so easy to over
strain them by relaxing care during
first days Of Fall. So remember that
the eyes require great deal Of atten-
ton when you are vscationing or week
ending during fine weather. Nothing
is more devastating 20 good looks and

that look as If it is az they can do
to stay open. This Is especially true
after long drive in town. country or

Some people experience difficulty with
their eyes as soon as they reach the sea.
I have seen pretty girls lose half their
attractiveness by developing red-rim-
med eyes. It is really hard luck to

1t is worth while to wear sun glasses
during the Summer time and especially
during automobile trips, however short.
There are various colors in sun glasses
suitable for any time Of the day, so
invest in one Or two pairs.
Sometimes the eyes need a little
strengthening lotion to counteract any
i'll effects from long-distance driving

most effective lotions is perhaps that
made by adding heaping teaspoonful
Of boric-acid powder to one pint Of boil
