At the end of the ninth week,
III bills had been introduced in
the House and 993 in the Senate,
and it appears likely that new
high will be set for bills introduce
ed. So many of these provide for
more expenses, more taxes, new
taxes and more appropriations
that the old ditty on taxes would
perhaps make a good theme song:
Tax the farmer, tax his fowl,
Tax the dog, and tax his howl,
Tax his pig, and tax his squeal,
Tax his boots, run down at heel;
Tax all business, tax all shops,
Tax all incomes, tax all stocks,
Tax the payroll, tax the sale,

BELL YET FEARFUL
Of SOCIAL PLANS
Mecklenburg Senator Voted
Against Security Act in
Legislature
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug. 1S-Early returns
from the workings of North Caro-
lina's Social Security program have
not allayed the fears of State Senator
James A. Bell, only member of the
1887 upper house to vote against its
adoption.
The Mecklenburger, chairman Of
the Senate's Appropriation Commit
tee, was in Raleigh yesterday and in
conversation made it clear that he
still believes that danger turks behind
every check sent out to the old peo-
pie of the State.
II want to make it clear that I am
not opposed to the spirit of the bill"
he said. "But I am afraid that it's OPP
GRAFTON will make necessary a new tax
on land if the real spirit is to be car
ried out. And if the true spirit isn't
carried out, then what we do spend
on it will be just that much money
thrown away"
In the General Assembly last win
ter Senator Bell commended that the
Social Security program would have
tendency to foster and develop a,
spirit of dependency and lack of mi
tiative. He felt then, and still feels,
that it will rob many of their pride
