not worry ua In the Carolina* If we

A largo travel market developed in
the Curolinau will help every community

How? Woll, here 1? how?when the

they adopt aome tire methoda. It j
doesn't make much difference what
kind, there arc Juki ho many of ua to
pay It, ho tin; tux Is simply divided
among those according to their ability
to pay, Tim only way In the world to
lighten thin tux load in to improve
our ability to pay, by developing
greater businesH, and nothing cun do
more to develop this greater volume
of business than a 1100,000,000 travel
market, which will incidentally result
in attracting more people to settle
here and share our taxes with us,
while enjoying the opportunity offered
by the Carolina*. That, in my
opinion, is one of the souud principles
for increasing our prosperity and
decreasing our tax load.
