LET US EXPRESS OUR VIEWS


AN OPPORTUNITY to express our views is presented to
all OF US with reference to proposed Organic Act for the Vr-
gin Islands. On a number Of occasions this paper has thrown
out the suggestion that the people of this Island, and the en-
tire group, should be more outspoken in letting those in res
ponsible positions know how we feel on matters Of public in
terest. It was pointed out not long ago that Congressman can
only feel the pulse of either their individual commmi-
ties or the nation, as people let the Legislators know what is
taking place. 1t is for this reason that people from all over the
nation write, wire and speak to Congressman, making sure
that the legislators know exactly what the voters think.
WHILE WASHINGTON seems far away and any ef-
forts from this outpost small, yet we should bypass these minor
considerations and assert ourselves in most definite terms.
And this is the time, if ever there was a time. The Virgin Is
lands are about to get a new constitution for that is what the
Organic really i( Contrary to the very essence of democratic
principles, such a constitution is not being written by Virgin
Islanders, nor one on the scene, but by a continental, sitting
far away on the banks of the Potomac, and whose knowledge
and point of view are bound to be different.
IS time when each and every citizen of the
Virgin Islands should write to or wire his suggestions to Chair
man Murdoch in Washington. If there are any sections of the
proposed organic act which fail to express what we think
should be the letter and spirit of our law, we should now
hasten to say SO. This is the time to flood Washington with
letters, kilograms, and what have you.
AN ORGANIC C for the Virgin Islands is wonderful
and should be put into effect as quickly as possible. How
ever, it is a basic instrument, and goes right to the heart OF
our political life that enough time should be taken to carefully
go over the Act section by section, and understand what it
will bring to US. An outstanding example Of the need tor
study is the fact that no provision is made for a head for St.
Crox. Attorney Leader put it well when he mentioned in
hearings that even during the Danish regime, there was al
ways a head for St. Croix. Each and every political entity in
America has a mayor or leading officer of some sort, be it a
great city, village or hamlet. An amendment to such an act
is necessary and the sooner the better.

WON'T HURT CORPORATIONS
(In the Wallace Enterprise)

Among the last official acts of
the Eighty-First Congress was
the passage of a bill to increase
corporation taxes by $3,300,000,-
900 year, chiefly through sew
enty-seven per cent levy on ex-
cess profits.
Despite the means and lamen-
tations that will come from some
business people, the tax bill will
not hurt corporations very much.
In 1945, for example, the corpor-
ations of the country paid 14.5
billion dollars in taxes, while in
dividuals paid 1919 billion dollars.
In 1851, according to reliable es-
Inmates, the corporations will on
ly pay 1871 billion dollars, with
the new excess profits tax includ-
ed in the calculations, while the
individuals of the country will pay
22.6 billion dollars.
We do not go into the provisions
of the tax bill, which includes
several formulas under which
corporations can figure their tax
es. Moreover, there is ceiling on
the amount of a corporations
earnings that may be collected I'M
der high income taxes. This cell
ing is sixty-two per cent, with ex-
emptions for corporations earning
less than $4,000 a year.
The past history of this coun-
try, beginning with the end Of
World War II, reveals that Con-
gress has been more alert to re-
duce corporation taxes than to cut
that paid by individuals on their
incomes. We have already given
the figures for the year 1945 but
it is well to point out that in 1947,
corporation taxes were dropped to
Sc, 000,000,000 while the levy on
individuals was increased to $780,
100000. Individuals have not re-
ceived the same tax relief granted
to corporations and it was not I'M
til 1949 that the total levy on in
dividual incomes became less than
in 1916.
Compared to the war year 1945,
the new taxes on corporations, in
GLIDING the excess profits tax just
passed by Congress represent an
increase of less than five per cent
for corporations but, at the same
time, present tax rates represent
an increase of nearly fourteen
per cent over 1915 for individuals.

A FEDERAL SALES TAX
lin the Laurinburg Exchange)

The North Carolina Merchants
Association is sampling opinion on
Federal sales tax. 1t has sent
out QUESTIONABLE to some five
hundred members asking them to
indicate their preference for a
manufacturers tax, a retail sales
tax, or increases in individual and
corporation taxes so that we can
pay for national defense as we go.
Some members of Congress are
said to lean strongly toward a
federal sales tax. And Mr.. Tru-
man has said that a large share
of the money will have to come
out of the pockets of the middle
to low income groups. Corporation
taxes will soon have reached the
point of diminishing returns, and
it is not possible to get the mon
ey from individuals in the higher
income brackets.
1t boils down to a general dis
tribution of the load, which means
more imitation and higher living
costs. A manufacturers sales tax
is easier to police. There are only
about 100000 manufacturers as
compared with two million or
more retailers. A manufacturers
tax is tax at the source and is
hidden tax, but the consumer
pays and pays more than the ac-
tual tax, since it is pyramided.
The retail sales tax is not col
lected until the goods are sold.
1t is not hidden, but collection
costs are higher. And in many
states the consumer is already
paying a retail tax. Add new
federal tax and he might be pay
ing as much as six or eight per
cent on his purchases. In any
event, it looks as though We'll be
paying taxes and more taxes for
long, long time.

"A VISIT TO MAKE
NE THANKFUL
AND HUMBLE TOO
Howard Smith of Ransom
vile Loses Entire Leg. Yet
Thanks God for His
Blessings

Few indeed if any would have
so much excuse to grumble at the
whims of providence as Howard
Smith who lives on the ''loop
road" between Ransomville and
Winsteaville. One of the citizens
best people, he now must sit at
home helpless because he lost his
entire right leg by an operation
Christmas week.
Howard Smith at middle-age
was getting comfortably situated
for living. Three years ago he was
struck in the back by an angry
COW, and knocked down. After a
few days suffering from the in
jury, he was back at work, but
never ceased to feel some discom-
fort as a result. Finally last fall
he had to go to a hospital. He
spent Christmas day in Duke hos
pital, and that week, his leg was
amputated, the entire hip joint
being removed.
Its pretty dreary picture to
look upon, but Howard Smith has
never been one to look on the
dark side. He'll tell you he is
thankful it is no worse. He is
grateful for Gods mercy, and
with laughter and fun cheers up
those who come to see him with
faces drawn out in sympathy.
Few people have more visitors
than Mr.. Smith for he is univer-
sally loved, and the entire COM
munity shares the gloom over his
misfortune because he has been
a man who spent much time Wis
iting the sick, and helping his
neighbors in any cases of need.
AS one man said: 81 wouldn't
have missed meeting Howard
Smith for $50. His good cheer
lifted my heart and did me a lot
of good"
AS another said: eve never
knew how much we should be
thankful for our blessings"
But we wonder if Howard
Smith doesn't have more to be
thankful for than most people.
He has that wonderful disposition
that enables him to bear life's
burdens without complaint or
wearying other people. He has a
remarkable philosophy of life
worth fortunes and happiness to
those who can follow it.

there, that prices are bound to be
good. Roe shad, few of which
have been shipped from North
Carolina, have brought 80 to so
cents.
u. S. Federal Judge Isaac M.
Meekins, who was endorsed by the
District Republican Convention in
Elizabeth City Saturday night for
the Republican nomination for
president, is no stranger to Dare
county folks. Judge Meekins is a
native of our mother county of
Tyrrell, and a resident of Eliz-
abeth City. He has been honored
with about the best of everything
his party has to give him in
North Carolina, and no doubt It
would have been easy for a man
of his ability and attainments to
have been governor or U. S. Sen
ator long ago, had he been a
Democrat. The Democrats of this
section as well as Republicans
love him for the honor he has cast
on his native section, and those
who know of his many charitable
deeds, his kindly heart and human
sympathy and understanding, love
him and appreciate him, although
he is seldom seen in Dare coun-
ty. In the old days, when he prac-
ticed law, the Dare county court
room sometimes resounded with
his brilliant oratory, for he is
without a peer when it comes to
making a speech.
Few young women in Dare
county have greater and more un-
affected charm and personality
than Miss Mogie Austin, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Neural Aus
tin of Hatteras, who became the
bride of Julian Brown, a highly
esteemed young man of Marshal
burg, N. C. in a ceremony per-
formed January 18 by the Rev.
Vance Lewis of the Hatteras
charge.

PRAYING CATTLE ON
NORTH CAROLINA COAST

All of us in eastern North Car
DINA have seen or heard of "pray-
ing" cattle. Aycock Brown in his
column tells about this manifes-
tation as follows:
"The late Mrs. Bill Gaskill of
Pamlico Inn, Ocracoke told me
the story" he says.
"When one of the cattle is but
chered for the fresh meat it is
dressed on the spot where it was
killed. Only the edible parts of
the beef are brought to the COM
munity to be sold. Over what is
left on the beach, when night
comes, the remainder of the herd
conduct a prayer meeting" she
said.
The late Matthew Guthrie, a
surfman at the Ocracoke coast
guard station assured me that it
was the truth. He had seen such
meetings. "They get around the
head and what else is left of the
slain cattle-beast and get down on
their knees to paw the ground and
below their prayers"
