hOSy FORCES CLAIM VICTORY
HOW TAX EXPERTS ARE MADE
(The Greensboro News)

Forsyth county tax records indicate that Ralph w. Mcdonald
made a voluntary tax return or listing of taxes only three times since
becoming a resident in 1928. The tax department was compelled to
pick him up as al unlisted delinquent for the years 1929, 1880, 1892.
1885. lax collector advises he was compelled to levv in order to
collect first three mentioned delinquent taxes. This information is
not given as campaign propaganda but is furnished dol any reputable
CITIZEN OF North Carolina sam a similar inquiries regarding any other
Forsyth County tax-payer.---Vernon w. Flynt, tax supervisor in reply
to a telegram from the Harnet County News.
And it is not given 1t this juncture a campaign propaganda per
Sc; statements by county taxpayers of taxation delinquency on the
part of any other gubernaorial candidate will be given the same PROM
inence.
We IRE using this primarily as a preface to asking the question if
the delnquents OF North Carolina constitute any considerable part
of those untapped sources from which DR.. Mcdonald aims to make up
the shortage when he repeats the sales tax. If so, we hasten to prophesy
his disappointment. The general run of college professors list their
taxes; and even if they did not, their combined payments would not
amount to more than about .O5 per cent of the 500 600, 900 which
the sales-tax levy will produce this year.
As to whether such delinquency renders Dr. Mcdonald unfit for
Governor W re are not going to say. Many a good citizen, we daresay,
But we do think that after having been levied on three times and then
elected to the legilature---where he himself admits having qualified as
a taxation expert---he ought to have attended to the matter in 1895.
There are, we think, sufficient other reasons for not voting for
Ralph W. Mcdonald, for governor, and We confess that any decision
we may have reached has been arrived at before hearing from Super
visor Flynt; but if Dr.. Mcdonald will. find a machine candidate who
has four times failed to list in eight years, we'll agree to vote against
him, too.
In the meantime W. hardly know what to do with the statement
Dr. Mcdonald IS said by the Harnett News to have made in a speech
Ellington that he had made al in tense study of taxation for the pasr
IS years.
aa And he's the man who would be governor of the Great State bf
North Carolina, a man no interested in government, except from a
personal standpoint, a man who violates the law by failing to list hist
property for taxation.
What a Governor he would make!
