House and Senate leaders and to

Congressional committees who have
already started work have been work

argument between those who want to
compel regulation of production and

President Roosevelt has not disclosed

The chief executive did not list tax
revision on the special session pro-

developed both in and out of Con

A viewpoint held by many legisla-
tors was carried to the White House
by Senator Byrnes, Democrat, South

the President, Byrnes, told reporters
the corporate tax should be modified

Taxation on Capital APP
preaching Near to Ac-
tual Confiscation
By CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COIumniSt

Washington, Nov 6.-The italian
government needs money so badly
that it recently resorted to capital
levy to get more of it, dispatches tell
is.
Now, capital levy must be very
unpleasant to capital.
A tax on income is disagreeable
enough Even the few dollars that
have to pay on mine makes me ache.
Still, I pay it, since there is no escape
and more or less forget it. as water
on it's way over the dam. But. do try
to see that a small reserviorful &C
cumulates behind the dam, and l feel
that that really belongs to me. If the
government undertook to begin dip

bound to say that I would consider it
an OVERRIDING Of matters. I can, be-
cause 1 must, stand taxation on what
I am getting, but what I've got Cor

A Sizeable Amount.

considered reasonable-in fact, oppres-
sive.
Ten per cent is a stable chunk, by
the wav-enough to be disorganlzlng

An inheritance tax is a little dill
ferent.
I myself do not itelieve in letting a
mere heir profit Indefinitely, from an
estate that he had nothing to do with
creating.
Too Much of Load?
The original creator, however, per-
haps was doing something publicly
useful.
Probably it is undesirable to over
discourage him.
Putting the brakes on him is Jul
dicious in some cases, doubtless, but
stopping him may not be such good
judgment.

Because of these facts, there were
indications at first that the classroom
teachers were not going to support
Smith very heavily, that they would
vote either for Rose, running on an
open anti-administration platform, as
far as the present regime of the edu-
cation association is concerned, or for
Grier, regarded as having the sup
port of the Gastonia and Charlotte
classroom teachers associations. Be
fore the convention, Rose was being
generally picked as the winner be-
cause he had the support of the teach
ers in almost every county east Of
Durham, who pointed out that the
east had had only one vice preside e
of the association in ten years, while
Guilford county had had four in that
period.
But after the teachers got to Dur
ham, something happened. 1t is I'M
dcrstood that in the first place, those
working for Smith assured the class
room teachers that if elected, he
would oppose the present Warren-Er-
win-Phillips combine in the educa-
ton association, work for higher sal
aries At any rate, many of the class
room teachers who voted for him are
new convinced that he is definitely
pledged to get rid of Warren as exc
cutive secretary and also TO get Phil
lips off the executive committee. It
g also understood that as a result of
this, the Charlotte, Greensboro and
Durham classroom teachers switched
from Cr:er and Rose to Smith. In ad
dition, both a letter and rumor were
circulat ed among the classroom teach
ers to the effect that Rose had once
served il the Gen al hsse ably and

A case arises under it. The court on
the hearing of the case unanimously
declares the statute to be null, as be-
ing beyond the powers of Congress.
Congress forthwith passes and the
President signs another statute more
than doubling the number of Justices.
"The President appoints to the new
justiceships men who are pledged to
hold the former statute constitutional.
The Senate confirms his appoint
ments. Another case raising the
validity of the disputed statute is

l. "The seat of the University is on
summit of a very high ridge. The
ridge appears to commence about a.
half mile directly east of the build
ing, where it arises abruptly several
hundred feet. This peak is called
Point Prospect. The flat country
spreads out below like an ocean, Civ
ing an immense hemisphere in which
the eye seems lost In the extent of
space"
2. Prior to the war between the
states a poll tax was levied on all
slaves, both men and women, between
the ages of II years and fifty years.
Governor David S. Reid in his mes
sage to the legislature November 20,
1854, said that the poll tax collected
on slave property amounted to about
three times the amount collected on
white polls. White polls figured men
only from q to 45 years of age.
g. Lewis Hanes, representative from
Davidson county, offered PROPOSE
ton to have the people vote on the
question of the state jining the con-
federacy, or of forming an indepen-
dent government of her own.
4. A resolution of the Legislature
of 1879 authorized an annual appro-
priat.on of $4,000. This was increased
two years later to $4,000. The amount
of the appropriation is not fixed now
but is determined ~ each legislature
