THE WAR LOAN. ‘Senator Stone of Misseuri,chair- rann of the foreign affairs cv:smibtee of the Senate,advances the most prac- tichl reason “yet offered in opposition to the loan now being made by citi- zens of this country to.the govern- ments of England and France,Sen- ator Stone opposes the loan,he says, because the moral effect»will:be to make the holders of .the securities partisans of .the borrowers;and it will do just that. Viewed from the ordinary stand- point,the loan is a simple business proposition.The borrowing.govern- ments are buying great quantities of supplies in this ‘country —‘not only guns and ammunition but food and clothing.‘They are borrowing the money from us to pay for the things they buy from us and the money they borrow will be spent here.That isa matter in which not only munition manufacturers’but farmers and the country generally ‘have an interest. -We want to sell the stuff and get pay _for it and for ‘that the arrangement, *is being made., The government,be it remembered, has no connection.with this loan,It is simply a matter of investment by banks and private.individuals,who are invegting ‘their money not as a matter of sympathy but as a matter of business—for what they hope to make out of it.If the government, however,had,wanted to prevent the loan it could probably,have done”so .by expressing disapproval. ~The fact‘that.‘a sonof the Govern- or of North’‘Carolina and a son of a rearr admiral of the navy were among ndets atthe Naval Academy who punished 3Tor hazing is ample ey- e that the-authorities.are admin- on .fezulations impartially. a Fpl ed.that the Govern- ir adh Wall ‘part in the hazing, rily 3 enceofwhich he was ihave’been'.excused ‘and hiels ‘would’naturally thee Governor's son ‘aif could properly do.80. ‘did not shows notlationsareenfore- ion but that all con- yrd-hazing—even re- _to encourage it, es nee’.of |young Gtaig’s offence-are to be punished. .The hazing barbarity is so deep-root- ed that’‘orily the most stringent reg- ulations,rigidly’enforced,will -exter- minate the outrageous practice;and the action ‘of:the naval authorities in this case deserves,the highest com- mendation. cee a Sareea‘It seemsto be a job to separate.of ficers from|fees even “After salaries are provided.’The Legislature pass* ed an act for Pitt county,authoriz- ing the eras ts pay.the sglicitor ing crim i ‘solicitor:for a work eke and all the costs heretofore collected by the solicitor were to be paid to the coun- ty.The solicitof contends:that the $600 is only for.the costs for which the:county would be liable,,and that in addition to the $600 heis entitled to any fees which;the defendants them- selves may pay in,It‘would seem that $600 would be liberal pay for.a solic- itor’s work in one county,but this solicitor—C,L,Abernethy—is con- tending for part of ine fees in addi- tion and the Supreme Court:has the case. =pane ‘Clerk.“Maxwell of the State Tax Commission says the average increase’in the tax assessment of real .estate__this year is’about'10 per cent.and the*total increase is less than in any four year period for 16 years,the increasethisyearbeingabouthalfthatin9911,If this 4s correct,and Mr,Max- ‘well ‘is supposed to know what he is talking about,one.wonders why all‘the noise thade recently aboutincreas-‘ed.assessments,It is true that:somecounties‘have increased much morethan’40°per cent.—this amount,atid ‘nore in some cases,being addédto:the ‘increase made by:the local as-seasors in many counties.But if af- ter all the increase the average ©ig only 10 per cent,for the State and half that of four years ago,the cry of alarm ay s to have been unnec- Dik -essary. ‘he Marace Joorval craves of The Landmark a few words on the sub- counties,-Bids.awee. 128.Forsyth county aie’x oeratWinston-Salem this’ow ae Contracts have beenlet,fora0¢|additional cotton mill*} K ee ir CURRENT NEw la penings HereHere and.the State.

The city council of Wilmington is taking note of the fact that much personal.property in Wilmington ‘and New Hanover county is not re- _eorded on.the-tax books.The total :et credits listed aggregate 000,money on hand $182,000.of money on hand returned for.tax- ation,it is said,one corporation and ‘two or three individuals returt over $100,000.It is further pointed out that the amount listed is at variance “with the reports of the banks,which “showed $10,000,000 on deposit when j.the returns were made.“The city ‘council has asked for a joint,meeting ‘with the county commissioners to sée if ways and means can’t be devis- ed ‘to reach the tax-dodgers. Along with the difficulty of equal- izing the value of real estate.and securing a proper basis of taxation, is the equally important problem,of getting personal property on the tax Looks.-If all the sclvent credits and all the money on hand,liable ‘for taxation at the time of tax-listiny tast spring,had been placed on the tax books,the amount would aston ish the natives..In other ©words, if we knew how much of this sort of property escapes taxation,*we would be amazed.For instance,at tax listing in 1914 the total amount.of money on hand returned for taxation in the town of Statesville was about $3,800,and nearly all this was re- turned by.two men,one of these be- ing aman ofvery modest means.At the ‘Same.time the reports of the _Statesville banks showed several hun- dred thousand dollars on deposit. Leaving out all deposits subject to “heck,which may have been offset by “’mdebtedness—although it is not at all ‘probable that the whole amount was so covered—and making liberal allowance for deposits of non-resi- vderits,there was still in the banks a pyery ‘large sum!made up of time cer- “tificates of deposit,drawing 4 per cent.interest,which was not return- ed for taxation.+>»‘The same conditions exint general- ly.«It is true that the man’:with /money or solvent credits has good .ground for objecting to paying tax on Z “thisproperty dollar for dollar,as he |e has to if he returns it,while the real‘. estate owner ‘Pays on anywherefront 40‘to 75 per cent.of the value of his tig |property.But the law requires that ir 4 er b ‘money on hand and solvent,credits“ghall’be listed and one who fails to“gmake:due return:of.all hadesfor taxation commits perjury. “The man or men who can secure a reform of the tax system in this State will take high rank as states- men who did something worth while for their day and generation.But it’s a job that few people want to “tackle.The disposition is to leave it undisturbed while the inequalities _and injustice grow worse yearly._————mmememmemamemeee “NOT A CASE FOR ORITICISM. The Charlotte Observer finds in The Landmark:the “nearest approach to -¢riticism”of the announcement of the|sr 'President’s engagement it has seen. Which is evidence of the difference in wie The Landmark had no aes it thinks“its remarks should jhave made clear—of criticising the President.What it did say was »that the announcement.was a sur- prise,and that statement will hardly _be yestioned, When marital ties are:névered by | _death,how long the survivor shall wait,out_of respect.to the deceased, before marrying again,is a matter of taste and individual opinion and there can be no hard and fast rule.Usual- ly it is considered proper,in this part of the country,to allow at least a “year to elapse,“for the looks of ithe thing,”but we have known men to marry within three months who prob- .ably had a good reason,from the common ‘sense,practical standpoint— “they needed a housekeeper.Mrs,Wil-! ’son has been dead 14 months and there can be no disrespect.to her memory,no violation of the canons of good taste,in the President marry- ing again.There will be criticism of course by folks who think Mr.Wilson should have waited a year longer for appearance sake,‘and.these will.con- tend that the private citizen,who is ;~often criticised for-—re-entering the?matrimonial state a year after thedeath’of his wife,may dé*things the‘President can’t do.But that,as saidattheoutset,is a matter of individual taste and opinion.The -President hasViolatednoestablishedcanonsofgoodtaste‘in“such matters,so far as The“Landmark can see;andthereis,there- fore,no real ground forcriticism.

But Goforth didn’t want the shoes.Oh,no,not ata price.PresentlyGarnerlefttheroomtogetsomewa-ter,and in his absence Goforth slip-ped off his old black shoes and putonthetanonesGarnerhadbeentry- ing to sell him.Being a.blind man, Garner did not discover the exchange, and Goforth went *his way in peace. Later,however,the blind manlearnedthathehad:been the victimofafraudandtheofficerswerenoti-fied..When Goforth was arrestedTuesday.evening he had on_blackshoes,but the color of the shoes.did- n’t exeuse his presence’in Jus- tice Lazenby’s.court.Wednesday.When f‘cused”in court of having:stol- en the blind man’s shoes he was.ofcourse“not.guilty.”He wouldn’tthinkofdoingsuchameanthing’as steal from a blind man.“But where did you get those shoes?”guestion- ed an officer.“I’s been havin’dese shoes a long time,I has,”was theFeply.Then,too,the defendant couldn’t understand why he was be- ing accused of having the blind man’s shoes,anyway.Garner had said his shoes were tan,while the shoes worn by the defendant .were black.Butthispointwassettledwhenanoffi- {cer pulled up the defendant’s pant legtoapointabovetheshoetop.The ne- gro had,failed to black the shoes all the way to the top and there was the tell-tale tan border around the top.It was “all up”with Goforth.His case--was*immediately advanced to the.Superior Court,which was sitting in -the “upper room.”Judge Lane wasn’t in any too good humor when he heard it,and not liking the idea, through:the period which really ne- cessiates shoe wearing.The county will furnish him with shoes while he ‘builds roads and when.he gains his liberty néxt June it will be warm enough to go barefooted. pasper and Six OthersPlead Guilty.

Iredell Farmers Can Send Sam- ples to Mecklenburg Grader), —The “Ginners Co-operating, _Correspondence of The Landmark. While this county was too late in jjj taking action to secure a cotton,grad- er,arrangements have been made whereby our farmers may receive the benefit of this expert ‘service.Al- though Mecklenburg county beat us to this position,,cotton from Iredell county may,be officially graded by their grader!To secure this service the farmer has only to so state his desire and pay a nickel to the ginner, who will take a sample from the bale and place it with the nickel in a don- tainer furnished by the division of markets.This container bears |the government frank,which takes it to the cotton grader at Charlotte free of \ charge,thus putting the ginner to no expense whatever.A Upon .the determination |of the grade the owner’s name is recorded along with the number,weight ©and grade of the bale.A tag with similar markings is forwarded to the owner, who may present this to the buyer when he gets ready to dispose of the bale,and provided the cotton has been properly cared for,will receive an of- fer on it just the same as though hehadthebaleitselfthere.It is quite evident that there are several ad- vantages.in this:method over the old one,farmer knows what grade of cotton he has to self and by keep- ing posted through the paper should know just.what that bale is worth in his town,It gives confidence to,thebuyer,as he may know how it.willgradewhenhistimecomestosell,so there will be.no need or.opportunity to play safe by grading it a little too low.Thus he may buy on a narrower margin,giving the producer the -ad- vantage of this certainty.The grad- »ing being done by fewer men with _more.-expert.knowledge of the needsofthemarket,should be more nearly uniform. The work of signing up theginners is progressing rapidly.Every ginnerinStatesvilleandall‘others,so far, who have been asked to do so have signed up without question.‘Some expressed themselves in favor of the work even before it was known thatitcouldbesecured,Most ginners rec- ognize the educational value of the work to the farmers.The sampling of the cotton adds to the value of theservicewhichtheginnerrendersthe farmer in the ginning.The ginners are not slow to-see that this service will increase their patronage and willaddmorethanthe-value of their la-bor to the prosperity of their com-|. munity.G.E.DULL, County Agent.
