Tax Listing
Continuing

Heavy SHOWS and frigid Temporal
lures had not stopped the progress
of 1910 tax listing today for either
the city or the county, though the
response Of property owners was not
as rapid aS when the work WAS car
ried on in April, as has been the case
heretofore.
Slackening in the rush OF small
property owners to give in their pos
sessions has been the signal for some
Of the largest property owners to VlSn
the liSt-takerS and record their hold
ings. This has been the case for the
past couple of days.
Under the law, taxes must be list
cd for 1910 as of January |. and dull
ing the month of.January. Hereto
fore the listing has been during the
month Of April as of the first day Of
April. The change was made by the
1889 General Assembly, and this year
is the first under the new law.
Little WIS learned as to the pro-
gross of listing in the rural precincts.
where difficulty of traffic was
thought to have slowed the work con-
Siderably. Adverse weather cond;-
tons normal at this season Of the
year arc expected to prolong the
work to some extent, though list
takers were hopeful that the bulk Of
the property could be put on the
books within the period Of time al
lotted for the purpose.

but to the business and professional
men of Eastern North Carolina.
While | fully understand that there
is not much that tobacco farmers
can do about the international sltua-
ton. they can at least conduct their
1910 farming operations in a manner
which will minimize the distress and
suffering which the situation will
most likely cause. Tobacco farmers
should be fully advised, to the end
that they may, with all the facts be-
fore them, plan their 1910 farming
operations. They have already en-
barked upon program which Will
result in drastic curtailment OF pro-
duction. But now il appears that to-
baccO farmers are TO be offered as q
sacrifice upon the affairs Of interna-
tional trade In this situation | feel
that our Nation should not hesitate
to use its most powerful economic
weapons in defense of the livelihoodS
Of the large group Of our citizens who
are so absolutely and completely de-
pendent upon the production of the
commodity upon which the embargo
has been placed.

the domesticalIv consumed portion -

that the fight of the tobacco farmer
from now on should be a fight for
parity Of income rather than parity
prices. and in this FIGHT tho farno"r
can contribute much to his own Sue
cess by adopting d program OF DIVER
sified farming.
Even with parity prices upon the
small acreage allOtmentS which are
being made under the 1910 program
Of curtailment, it will be most diff
ficult for the average tobacco far
mer to make both ends meet. Even
with parity prices many Of our far
mers will not be able to pay expenses,
and few, if any, will be able TO earn
d decent livelihood. much less make
a profit upon their 1910 operations.
1t appears that the present acute
situation will force North Carolina
tobacco farmers into diversified
farming. 1t is perfectly apparent that
tobacco farmers who have in the past
devoted most of their time and at
tention to the production of tobacco
will be forced to plant and to Guilt

Oehmonn May Increase
Building Inspection Stoff

A small increase in the staff of
Col. John w. Oehmann, building
inspector, today appeared probable
as the result of action by the Com
missioners in abolishing the for
merly separate Office of director of
inspection.
Engineer Commissioner David
McCoach, jr., said he would recon-
mend to the Board of Commission
ers that they use the $1,000 annual
saving resulting from the abolition
of the post of inspector for en-
ployment of several additional
workers.
He said he favored the employ
ment of one additional fire escape
inspector, an additional worker for
the zoning Office and probably an
other clerk.
The job of director of inspection
was abolished, effective today, fol-
lowing the resignation of Capt.
Hugh P. Dram from that post, due
to poor health. Most of his duties
were transferred to Building In
spector Oehmann.

Police today were seeking several

yesterday and nearly causing the
derailment of a Southern passenger
train,
The train, Richmond bound, ran
over the bars at $40 am. yesterday.
The crew reported there was
severe JOLT" but that none of the
trucks left the track. After the bars
were cleared from the rails the train
proceeded toward the Potomac
bridge, just ahead.
According to Precinct Detective
George Wilson, who is investigating
the matter, some 80 bars of pig lead
were stolen from construction job
recently in the 300 block of G street
S.W. 1t is his belief that the boys
who stole the bars had placed them
on the track to remove marks of
identification.
Several suspects. young boys, were
arrested last night and released after
