Veteran Premier
 May Rule as Kings Deputy
By GIDEON SEYMOUR

 CAPETOWN, Sept. 18.-General J. B. M. Hertzog, one of the few political leaders in the world who has been able to ride out the de- precision, has entered upon his el- eventh year as Prime Minister of South Africa.
 Political circles hear that his carer may; be crowned next year by appointment to the Governor Generalship of the Union.
 Would Placate Boers
 Designation by King George of a native son" instead of an Eng lishman as Governor General of a British commonwealth would not be Unprecedented. But in the case of Hertzog it would have unusual significance as a climactic gesture in Britain's long effort to placate the Boers.
 For Barry" Hertzog is Boer, won his military title fighting the English at the turn of the century, and came into office in 1924 as a Nationalist insistent upon Sou h Africa's right to independence even to the extent of secession and es- tablishment of a republic.
 Hertzog Views Change E Tn ten years Hertzog has turned gradually to the conviction that the future of South Africa is as a self determining unit of the Brit ish mpire. But he still is looked to as leader of many Dutch farm ers whose yearnings for increased home rule would be gratified by his selection for post hitherto held by English Earls.
 | If General Hertzog, who is 67 should leave the Prime Ministry it probably would fall again tc General Jan Shuts, himself Boer Coinmander against England but an ardent advocate of cooperation with the English.

FLORIDA'S Menace

fall. But Florida secs peril in these incoming
cars. Many Of them bear jobless persons and many
jo5leSs transients are making their way into the
state by other means of transportation. Governor
Shotz last week described The situation as zone o.
the greatest perils that has ever threatened our
state and asked officials of all counties to in
dGce these people to,return to their homes"
The transient problem is vexing many states in
the South. Persons fearing the cold winter in the
North are seeking warmer climates. Florida. of ali
the states in the Southeast will suffer most from
the movement Of the jobless and not having the
means for caring for them, il fears trouble
The problem is difficult of solution. In few coun-
tries would such movement of people be permit
ted without some safeguard. In the United States
control OF travel between states always has been
considered as interference with the liberty of the
people II seems however, that some method OF
preventing Florida from being the dumping ground
Tor other states and cities must be found In this
connection comes the thought that if the Florida

Kindness is by far a much

Kind man will accomplish much
more than an unkind man pro-

sary qualities along with kind

There are persons who are CON
WINGED that the hard-boiled, cold

ther in this world than one whose
attitude is always colored by
kindness. There is some founda3-
ton for that belief. Your hard

The kind man IS apt TO be easy

line of least resistance. The fact

cause he does not wish to deal
with opposition: He lets the other
fellow have his way and agrees

tigers. lions, elephants and what
have you, are the trainers who
are kind, who make their animals
love them but at the same time
obey them.
Take lion tanners: One will go
into q cage, a pistol in one hand,
whip in the other: he will lash
the beasts into subsection and
obedience. He will explode a
cartridge under a great cats nose
to COW him into order. Through
sheer tyrannical arrogance, he
gets certain results. Another
tanner uses no whip. uses no pis-
tol. His big cats plainly are fond
Of him. They do what he tells
them to do because they plainly
seem to want to. He puts on a
much more creditable show than
does the other man.
There are farmers who would
discharge a hired man for strik-
ing one Of their horses or cows.
They know that kindness pays in
dealing with those animals. Yet
do not permit those creatures to
have their own way about the
farm.
Kindness combined with finn
ness gets the best results. Per-

not necessary to do so. The per-
son who combines kindness with

NO SANTA CLAUS FOR MOTORISTS

The Hickory Record is somewhat pessl-
mistic in regard to the relief which motor
car owners of North Carolina are expect
ing to get at the next session of the Legis-
lature. The Record says that North Caro-
lima does not have a Santa Claus to deal
with the owners of motor vehicles. Far
from il. In fact, it would be close TO the
truth to say that Santa Claus place IN
North Carolina is occupied by ShylOck.
The Hickory Record states its views on this
matter in the following paragraphs:
From license tags and gasoline tax North Caro-
lima gets approximately one-half Of all the reve-
nue. it takes in from every and all sources.
This half of the total revenue is collected from
ten per cent of the people.
The same ten per cent Of the people pay q
very considerable part of the other half of the
states revenue-pay in license taxes and capital
taxes and income taxes and sales taxes and a lot
of taxes passed on 10 them in disguise in the
prices they pay for the things they buy.
These people in all fairness, it seems ought TO
be entitled to ask that every cent of the money
taken from them in connection with their auto
mobiles, for both high license tag price and high
gasoline tax. be invested in putting and keeping
in proper and good condition the roads on which
those automobiles are driven.
That is the specific purpose for which these
special taxes are levied
As a matter of fact, the motorists of
North Carolina are not expecting the State
government to play Santa Claus to them.
They have never asked the State for any
special favors. They have always cheer
fully paid the prices of tags and the heavy
tax on gasoline and have only asked that
the State keep faith with them by expend-
ing this vast amount of money in building
and maintaining highways
From the sale of tags and the tax on
gasoline North Carolina collects approx
mately One-half of its total revenues. This
fifty per cent of the revenues is paid b.
much less than one-half of the people; and
the people who pay the motor vehicle
taxes also pay the greater part of all the
other taxes collected in the State.
The fair and reasonable way to manage
this business is TO levy on motor vehicle
owners only so much tax as is necessary 10
maintain the Highway Department and
give them the benefit of any reductions
which may be made, if the tag and gaso-
line taxes raise more revenue than is need
ed TO build and maintain roads. Then
raise the revenue 10 maintain other depart
ments and services Of the government By
taxation that will reach all the tax pay
ers-- In al fairness, as the Hickory Record
contends, a special tax should be applied
70 the special purpose for which it is
levied, and taxes for general purposes
should be collected from al tax payers.
