LITTLE MANS BURDEN

Taxes, little or great, are the sweat of common
folks" said the Portland Oregonian.
The common folks" are the great taxpayers OF
this country sooner later, directly or indirectly
they pay almost all of the cost of government.
There aren't enough ''rich folks" to tax to make
dent in the federal, state and local tax budgets
Authoritative surveys have shown that If govern
ment took ALL the net income of persons in the
higher income brackets, plus all the net income OF
American corporations, revenue would still fall lar
short Of meeting outgO
The'moral is plain.
Tax reduction is in the interest of every citizen
and every business and the greatest beneficiary of
all would be the person of small means and the

Tax experts have pointed out cases where, under
it's provisions, some very large corporations can
actually pay less in taxes than they did formerly,
while almost all small corporations will have to pay
more.
The principal burden of the law will fall on the
little fellow.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
RICH STRIKE REPORTED

| II is not surprising that most of us should watcn
with certain degree of conservatism, the develop
ments in our neighbor county of Lincoln, where
very rich strike of tin has been reported
Not that we have any doubts concerning the
Glowing news of ore assaying up to nifty dollars
per ton in the metal but experience has proved 1t
is always wise to go slowly in counting our eggs IN
any given mine operation.
The Record hopes that the Lincoln strike will
turn out to be the bonanza it looks like at present
As is generally known among people familiar with
mining gold strike of rich running up to fifty
dollars per ton in the precious metal would create
considerable stir even in gold-producing regions
Lincoln county people have for generation or
more heard that tin ore in paying quantities exists
there and work on the tin mine where the rich
strike is now reported has been in progress Tor
the past three or four years resulting in the re-
moval of thousands of tons of material and the
completion of thousands of feet of prosecuting
and drifting
Thus it will not be an accident if the long and
painstaking search has actually been crowned with
success
When and if the Lincoln county property goes
into steady and profitable production it will be the
only commercial tin producer of Importance IN the
United States
Consuming more than half of the worlds entire
tin production with no domestic source of supply
within the borders of the United States this coun-
try is entirely dependent for its enormous tin re-
ouirement on foreign countries; precarious source
of supply at this time when present and probable
war needs in Europe might quickly restrict any
flow of the metal to America, it is recognized. IN
the year ended June, 1886, consumption OF tin IN
the United States increased 35 per cent over the
previous year Entire world production for the first
six months this year was 1921 tons; United
States tin consumption in the same period was a.
140 tons.
1t can readily be seen, therefore, that the dis
coyery of an important source of tin ore would be
particularly opportune right now.
For that reason, if the Lincoln strike pans OUT
it will be the biggest thing for this section from
commercial standpoint, which has happened in many
a day-Hickory Record.

FORWARD STEP IN AsHEVILLE

The Asheville Chamber OF Commerce
and the Welcome to Asheville organlza-
ton have been merged. The memberships
and resources of the two organizations
have been combined, in order that Ashe-
vile citizens may present united front IN
the field of effort where the two OrganlZa-
tions have been working. 1t is believed
that this pooling of the memberships and
resources of two organizations in one Or
ganization, with all progressive citizens OF
the city giving financial and personal sup
port to the Chamber of Commerce in one
forward movement will prove much more
efficient and effective and will secure much
greater results than the plan of having two
organizations.
Asheville is to be congratulated on this
step, is the view of The Times-News. A
city the size of Asheville is certainly too
small to have two organizations doing the
work of the Chamber of Commerce, divid-
ing the citizenship, piling up two expense
accounts and weakening the efforts OF both
organizations. From this point of view it
seems that the merger is one of the most
sensible and happiest steps taken in the
mountain metropolis in many months. We
expect to see the effects and results of this
action in an accelerated and increasingly
successful forward movement in Asheville.

FOR THE NEo-LIBERALS

The neo-liberals who have grown sway-backed
carrying the torch for riotous Communists might
hearken to the words of George u. Harvey, Queens
Borough president, who denied the use of public
buildings to the Reds this week
After listening to the chatter of spokesman Tor
such notorious organizations as the American
League Against War and Fascism and the Amerl-
can Civil Liberties Union, who pleaded on Bonded
knee for the right of free speech, Mr.. Harvey re-
piled:
at is childish to pirate of free speech when sedl-
ton and treason are the matters at issue.
81 have not denied anyone the right of free
speech, but people who advocate the overthrow OF
this government are not going to have the privi-
lege of staging their utterances in public buildings
while have anything to say about it"-Newsdom.

MORE PRIVATE AND MORE PUBLIC
EMPLOYMENT

Sharp Increase in Employment Seen for
August" reads headline in one of our
exchanges. The story informs us that the
information comes from Sister Perkins de-
partment of the Washington government
and it is, therefore, presumed to be official.
The reference is to private employment in
industry.
Over against this announcement, how
ever, may be placed the very definite fig
ures of the increase in the number of per-
sons on relief" or those working for the
federal government. Private employment
makes big gains and at the same time the
number receiving government aid or en-
ployed on government jobs steadily in
creases.
This is one of the puzzles of the century
in the administration of federal govern
ment affairs.

WHAT ABOUT 1T?

Should we make highways reaS-
onably safe, or should we go the
limit in spending the taxpayers
money to make highways safe for
all the idiots and the jackasses
who drive or want to drive motor
vehicles? For instance: Should all
grade crossings be eliminated or
only those that are menace to
all drivers because of blind APP
proaches which conceal coming
trains from view? Should we go
to eXtravagant lengths to protect
the small hair-brained element
from their own indifference to the
observance Of the simplest rules
of caution?
In other words, shouldn't there
be moderation in all things, in
Guiding making highways safe?
Should not drivers of motor We
hicles be required to use their
heads to reasonable extent or
stay from under steering wheels
INDUCING foolhardiness and COM
polling everybody else to pay for
it doesn't make sense.

THEORY OF SOCIAL SECURITY"

Social security" laws except for the sick, the
bodily or mentally afflicted, rest the theory that
the majority of the people have not the force of
character, the will, the diligence, the forethought,
the self-restraint and self-denial, to lay up for
themselves against unemployment, the infrmities
of old age, and other adversely. Facilities for So
cal security are abundantly provided by the in
surance companies and by numerous other means.
In other words, the theory is that many of the peo-
pie able-bodied and strong wanting in COM
mon sense that government should take from them
part of their freedom and part of their income,
should become their guardian. There is much to
be said for the theory The further theory is that
the people who cannot be trusted to take care OF
themselves can be trusted with votes to elect the
government that is to be their guardian and to
handle their insurance money. For that theory
nothing can be said.-Charleston News Courier

Editor, The Times News:
Now that the meeting of the
legislature draws near, will you
kindly permit a few suggestions
which should have the attention
of the people of Henderson coun-
ty. In making them, let it be dis
tinctly understood that the criti-
cisms are against the system and
not directed at any office holder
They are all men of high char
acter and ability and my friends.
Moreover, who am / to arrogate
to myself the prerogative of the
Almighty and sit in Judgment on
my fellowmen?
First: The present abominable
method of delinquent tax foreclos-
ures can and should be simplified
and made less expensive. A few
days ago | was called upon to
settle a tax item for a client in
which the tax was 90c and costs
| $3.50. There are now more than
twenty thousand tax suits of Hen
| uSl SOlI SOuuIN d-lu lCS ILL Gc llIuHl-
cipalities pending in the superior
court and the end is not in sight
Henderson is an average county
of North Carolina in area, wealth
and population. Multiply these
figures by one hundred, the num-
Der Of counties in the state, and
what have you? This enormous
expense is largely falling back on
the tax payers who do pay their
taxes.
Second: The recorders court of
Henderson county should be abol-
ished to take effect not later than
the expiration Of the present term
Of office of it's present office
holders and it's functions returned
| to the superior court and courts
of the justices of the peace. By
adding two weeks additional terms
annually to the superior court, the
work of this court could be en-
tirely eliminated at a saving of
$4,000 per year to the county in
salaries alone and, in my opinion.
the administration of justice would
thereby become more effective.
With the right of appeal to the
superior court and trial de novo,
criminals have learned to make

in the sale of American farm
products to foreign markets. Since
President Roosevelt took Office,
importations of crude foodstuffs
have increased Al per cent and
manufactured foodstuffS 40 per
cent. Importations of wheat rose
from 5000 bushels to more than
27,000,000 bushels, while importa-
tons of foreign corn jumped from
$4,000 bushels to more than A.
100000 bushels.
In the meantime, expectations
of American wheat to foreign
countries dropped until in 1885
they were only a hundredth of
what they had been before the
New Deal, while expectations OF
-four decreased AZ per cent, meat
products dropped l9 per cent, and
ard 81 per cent.
1t -
As in other instances, the farm
L n record of the New Deal admin.
istration speaks for itself. In the
summer of 1888, the government
paid farmers under the AAA to
pillow up 1O,50O,000 acres of grow
ing cotton, or 25 per cent of the
total acreage. The Bankhead cot
ton act of 1884, later repealed by
the New Deal Congress, set limit
of 100000 bales Of cotton to be
marketed by farmers from the
l934-1935 crop. The AAA retired
approximately 100000 acres OF
corn, wheat, cotton, and tobacco
from cultivation, or one-tenth OF
the land in cultivation in the
United States.
In the fall of 1888, the AAA de-
stroyed 100000 pigs and slaugh-
tered 100000 prospective mother
sows, at waste exceeding $780,
100000. The total live weight OF
the pigs and sowS slaughtered was
43,627,348 pounds. Of this, only
97,064,l 59 pounds of food products
were obtained. The rest was con-
verted into inedible grease or fer
tiliZer and was buried.
