SUBSCRIPTION PRICES
Payable Strictly in Advance
Not All Prosperity

North Caroiina'S economic posi-
ton is an cnviable one by COMPARE
son with some other states, and it
has enjoyed L reasonable measure Of
fairly good business in the past few
years. But the rccord-breaking tax
collections Of the fiscal year just
ended are not all attributable to
prosperity. Don't forget the high
tax rates that exist and the new
levicS Of one kind or another that
have been in effect in the recent
past.
Whatever the explanation. how
ever, S76.O0O.000 is a whale of lot
OF money TO be drawn from the
pockets OF taxpayers in single
state II is more than seven million
dollars N excess of total income the
last preceding fiscal year-or 1888
80.
In the face Of this huge income,
there is no reason for diversion Of
highway funds. With this fine rec
ord, it is no surprise that the State
will have surplus. There IS no
reason why officials should not re-
joice at the pleasant showing that
has been made.
But taxpayers need not 60 into
eXultation as yet. They should await
their fate at the hands OF the next
legislature. Pressure groups will be
there to point to the unprecedented
revenue as reason why their de-
mandS can and should be granted.
1t will be no worry or concern OF
theirs that this new fiscal year may
show decided slump by reason Of
declining tobacco prices. II they can
make the surplus look SO big that 1t
will blind the eyes of legislators to
possible rough Shedding ahead, to the
extent that larger appropriations may
be voted for this cause or that, their
victory will have been won. And
once an expenditure is admitted to.
the appropriations bill, It hangs on
like lccch; it usually is there
for keeps.
Governor Hocy recently gave some
very sound advice TO the next Cen
eral Assembly when he warned that
whatever OF surplus might exist
should be considered against doubt
ful days ahead. Very probably it
will be ignored, as is the custom,
and Il custom which more often
than otherwise gets individuals,
states and governments in trouble.
That can happen in North Carolina.
All of which brings up another
argument, namely, that with the
Federal government reaching its
long fingers into private pockets Tor
heavy takingS to finance the pre-
parcdncSS program, there ought to
be an honest, sincere and desperate
effort on the part of local and state
spending authorities to reduce their
OUTLAWS to the end that taxpayers
may with better grace and with less
strain on themselves support the
urgent national defense undertaking.
This would be the part Of wisdom,
but Il part which, sad to relate, often
is passed up by politicians.

JONES COUNTY LEAF

Trenton. July Horn worms. and

kreiged the Jones county tobacco
crop, reports F. F. Hendrix, farm
agent of the N. c. State College EX-
tension Service.
The present epidemic is described
by most farmers as the worst in
their memories. There have already
been three different matches of the
worms, making it necessary for
growers to poison their crop an
equal number Of times. A rainy per-
iod would make it almost impossible
for farmers to save their crop from
the worms.
