The total number Of deaths II
the G-year period was 4,430; the
yearly average 738 the average
increase per year, 5 per cent.
In North Carolina the increase
in the number Of deaths from
1892 to 1888 was 26.4l per cent ;
in the entire nation it was about
3l2 per cent.
Compared with other Southern
and adjoining states the record
in North Carolina is just as un-
satisfactory. Between 1882 and
1888 there were decreases in
the number of deaths in Vir-
ginia, South Carolina, and Flor
ida, and increases of AIT per
cent in Tennessee, 1866 per cent
in Georgia, $50 per cent in Ala
bama, 1.54 per cent in Kentucky,
6.37 per cent in West Virginia,
and 5.91 per cent in Maryland.
Of course Mr.. Tucker takes
account of the relation between
the fatalities and the volume of
traffic. Traffic fatalities gener-
ally increase with the more ex-
tensive use of motor vehicles,
but the record of 1888 is out of
all proportion to the registration
Of vehicles and the consumption

The review Of the record Of
automobile accidents in North
Carolina by Harry Tucker, pro-
lessor Of highway engineering
IN the State College, is d valua-
bic contribution to the discus
sion Of one Of the states most
important problems. Not only
does ne present statistics in d
concise and impressive manner
ne makes. suggestions which, if
carried out. will surely reduce
accidents to some extent
Our observation is that most
people have an attitude Of hope
lessness about the outlook for
achieving a greater degree Of
safety on the highways The
slaughter has been going on so
iOng, and everybody has become
% accustomed 10 il, that the
public senslbility has become

any Of his acquaintances have

Too many drivers are reck-

VIII continue 10 be reckless
Pedestrians will continue to be
run down because they are care
less and forgetfuI. Deaths and
injuries are bound to occur. But
the number of deaths and in
yuries in North Carolina can be
reduced if the legislature, the
police, and the courts will CO
operate in a resoIute attack upon
the problem. This belief is just
fled by a comparison Of the &C
cident record Of this state with
that Of other states which have
made more vigorous efforts al
prevention. North Carolina 5
record, as compared with that
for the entire United States,
writes Mr. Tucker, is decidedly
unfavorable."

The Citizen Gets His Moneys
Worth for His Taxes

An organization called the
Fair Tax Association has as its
chief objective the repeal OF
North Carolina sales tax law
To our mind the effort to abol-
ish the sales tax does not accord
with the word Fair in the name
of the body, for it seems to US
that the sales tax is eminently
fair.
In an editorial in his maga-
zine. the State, Carl Goerch asks
the Association the pertinent
question: If North Carolina
were deprived Of the revenue
from the sales tax, how could it
meet the necessary costs Of gov
ernment The answer is that
it could not, unless it imposed
other taxes in substitution. And
that is next 10 impossible. Ger
tainly any proposal to restore
the ad valorem school tax, re-
duced by the legislature of 1881
and removed by the legislature
Of 1888, would not stand a
chance Of acceptance. Incomes
cannot oe made TO yield any
more, for an increase Of the
present top rate Of s per cent
is forbidden by the Constitution.
And it is agreed by the experts
that the franchise and miscel-
laneous license taxes are now
about all the traffic will bear
The sales tax is d highly val
uabIe and, under present con
ditions, an indispensable part Of
the tax structure It Is largely
respOnSible for the fact that the
states credit has been restored,
and to give it up would be to IN
vite disaster
In some quarters d howl is
now being raised for a reduction
in the price Of automobile IL
cense tags There is no more
sense in that than IN the pro
p0sal for the abolition Of the
sales tax. The state is in urgent
need Of all the money it receives
from the license tags. It's es-
sential services have been ser
i0usly curtailed, and there would
have to be still further curtail-
ment if important sources OF
revenue were cut off This
would be a calamity
Naturally nobody enjoys pay
ing taxes, but there IS ten
dency to exaggerate the weight
Of the tax burden. The GROWERS
talk as if they were making a
gift OF money to their local anc
state governments, whereas The
truth is that in most cases tht
citizen gets a greater return tol
what he pays into the public
treasury than for the same
amount Of money spent IN any
other way Consider for exam
pie, the tens Of thousands OF
children who are beng educated
in return for a tax payment

vehicles registered in this state
during 1888 was only about 3
per cent greater than in 1882
and the consumption Of gasoline
in 1888 was practically the same
as in 1882.
The four major causes Of &C
cidents are IL location Of and
defects in streets and high
ways (2) pedestrians on streets
and highways; (3) defects in
automobiles; a. violations by

that defects in the road system
will be steadily corrected. Ef-
forts should be made TO educate
pedestrians in the proper use Of

larly children should be taught
the danger of playing IN the
