Congress Members to Press
For Inquiry on Straw Votes
Investigation of Gallup and Fortune Polls
On Leose-Lend Bill Particularly Sought

I understand that this legislation
gives the President practically die
tatorial powers, practical abdication
of the Government of the United
| States on all matters of defense
and he would not have to make any
report to Congress.
How can the rank and file of the
country be expected to understand
such a legislative measure when
many members of the House and
Senate do not understand it? The
people of the country have been led
to believe that giving the President
power to give away anything he
wants is synonymous with aid to
Britain. Aid to Britain is not the
issue-we all want to give aid to
Britain. The real issue is war or
peace. The real question has not
been put to the people in these
polls-and the people are led to be-
lieve that these polls, rather than
Congress, express the will Of the
people.
These polls are dangerous be-
cause they misrepresent public opin-
ion, Of necessity, because all the
facts are not laid before the people
when they are polled 1t depends
on who asks the questions and how
they are asked. 1t would be a very
good idea for Congress to find out
just what is back of these polls and
how they are taken. Many persons
are being swayed by what they are
told is public sentiment"
Polls Are Defended.
Senator Capper, Republican, Of
Kansas expressed confidence in the
Gallup and Fortune polls, especially.
He also expressed the belief that an
investigation by congressional
committee might establish the re-
liability of certain polls and help
to weed out unreliable polls by
showing how the canvass was made
He declared himself always in favor
of getting the facts"
House Leader j. Mccormack of
Massachusetts said he could not see
why there should be an inveStiga-
ton of polls, that they represented
a legitimate field, and should be
helpful in arousing public interest
and disclosing public sentiment.
Il am not in favor of indicating
any one without cause" Mr.. Nc
Cormack said. and before there is
any investigation I believe that I
should be definitely shown that
something is wrong about these
polls"
Representative Martin of Mas
sachusetts, House minority leader
and chairman of the Republican
National Committee, said:
Il don't object to these polls.
do not think they influence mem
bers of Congress very much. I do
not see where we have a patent on
expressing public opinion. Any one
can make a poll and we cannot
stop him Any organization has
right to function as long as it is
straightforward and reliable-and
when it isn't the public soon knows
it,"

Those PhariseeS had the kingdom
Of God right with them, if they had
but known. But they were blinded
by the things Of the earth. They
could not see the truth and so they
lost their opportunity.
Turning to His disciples He told
them that before the kingdom of God
could come. His Son must "suffer
many things, and be rejected of this
generation" As it was in the days of
Noah. People went about their bust

drank, they married wives. they
were given in marriage, until the day
that Noah entered the ark, and the

was destroyed, The things of the
world absorbed them, and they could

shall lose his life shall preserve it,
The Lord expects His followers to

hearted, forgiving each other, even
as God also in Christ forgave you"

will be within us. and we need fear

Caldwell
Explains
Proposed Bill
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Feb. 14.-House Bill 254
and Senate Bill ia, both of which
bear the caption TO provide for the
Partial Exemption of Homesteads
from TaXation', are "mis-titled,"
>ays Harry Caldwell, State Grange
Master, and n of the foremost adj
VOcates of the bills.
Mr.. Caldwell believes the bills
should be called classification and
not "eXemption' measures, in view
OF the fact that they do nothing o
than apply the principle of classilicu-
ton to taxation of real property oc-
cupied as home by the taxpayer who
owns it.
The way he explains it is that
there is no exemption from taxation;
there is instead a classification OF
the first 81 900 value of this home
stead property and to that first ST.,
600 is applied a rate Of only one
half the normal tax rate within amy
county.
There is nothing in the two bills,
he points out, which eNempts any
part Of the property from taxation
on the contrary all homesteads are
listed on the tax books exactly the
same as any other real property.
Furthermore, he declares, there is
nothing in either bill which gives
even relief by redistribution from
municipal taxes. This is the opposite
OF what would happen were there
any exemption from taxes.
He cites a hypothetical case Of
property now listed at $4,000 on the
TAX books of a county, and a city,
in which the tax rates are Sl.00 and
$l.20 respectively. At present The
owner Of this home, who occupies ii
as his principal dwelling, pays $50
county and S24 city taxes.
Under the pending bills the owner
would still list his residence at the
full $4,000 on the tax books; but
when it came time to figure his
county tax rate Of so cents, one-hall
the normal Sl.O0 would be applied
to the first 81 900 and the regular
rate of S1.00 to the second $1,000,
Thus the mans county taxes would
be SIS, instead of the 500 previous
iy paid; but there would be absolute
| ly no change in the rate or amount
CT city taNes-he'd still pay S24,
which is to say S1.2O on the full
5000 valuation.
Thus municipal taxing units have
70 interest whatsoever in the bills
their tax revenue is not affecr>J in
any way. shape or form.
As to the amount of tax money
which would be lost by the counties,

apostles asked their Master. Jesus
asked them how they would act if
a servant came from working in the
fields. Would they tell him to go and
eat, or would they not rather tell
him to serve them and, after they
had eaten, the servant would haV>
his meal?
The servant was paid to serve the
master. and he should not, there
fore, take any credit to himself for
his service. Likewise, when the
apostles did their duty to God, thy
should not take credit for that, but
should think of themselves as only

and now the counties are getting

an amount which will far exceed

Of the Classification principle to

phasis the iWhereas' parts of the
two bills, which point out that the
