Congratulations, Governor.
Regardless of the action of the gen
eral assembly on Governor Black
wood’s veto of the bill reducing the
price of passenger automobile license
platese by 25 per cent., The People-'
Sentinel congratulates the chief ex
ecutive on his action. The bill pro
vided for no refund to those automo
bile owners who had complied with
the law—in many instances at a sac
rifice and inconvenience—but only a
credit on the purchase of next year’s
tags, whereas delinquent purchasers
would benefit by the reduction im
mediately. The governor rightly says
that it is ”a piece of discriminatory
and unfair legislation,” providing as
it does a penalty on those who abided
by the law and paid promptly.
The dilly-dallying tactics of the
legislature in the matter of license
tag g has caused widespread comment
and dissatisfaction, and The People-
Sentinel has heard many automobile
owners who purchased their tags
promptly this year declare that in the
future they will wait until after the
legislature meets.
The People-Sentinel favors a re
duction with a refund to those who
have paid. Failing in that, the gen
eral assembly should lequire the de
linquents to pay the full amount of
the license now with the refund to be
be credited on next year’s tag s along
with those who have already com
plied with the law.
Let’s feed everybody out of the same
apoon.
They are going to wonder why I
bought that Allen farm and paid 18
thousand dollars for it. I’ve been
wondering about that myself. It
never was worth over $750.00, in
cluding the pasture and 5 whiskey
stiU^^Then there’s those Waxco-
Sfanco bonds—only $1,000.00 worth
of them, but they wex? guaranteed to
earn 25 per cent per annum when I
bought them.
I am sure my appraisers will have
to laugh when they .come acr oss those
10 shares of Chicle-Maxico stock, but
it’s pretty also. The few German
marks I bought (only $1,000,000,000)
in 1920 for $22.50 don’t look so bad,
but I should have put that money in
the post office. I also have in my
lock box $250,000.00 Russian rubles.
I thought they would go back to par,
but Trot/.ky came along and went
everything.
An Illogical Argument.
Dr. W. W. Ball, the gifted editor of
The News and Courier, is a very pro
lific writer but at times he is quite
illogical in his reasoning. For in
stance, under the caption, ‘‘Steno
graphers and Teachers," he has the
following to say:
“There is no more reason that
stenographer pay an income tax for
the support of a teacher than that a
teacher pay an income tax for the
support of a stenographer, but the
sole and exclusive purpose of the
Spruill bill is to raise money to pay
teachers. The Spruill bill would tax
atenographers on their eatnings above
$600. So it would tax teachers on
their earnings above $600, and not a
penny of the money would go to sten-
ograjghers.”
The point overlooked by Editor Ball
is the fact that teachers are employ
ed by the State and the counties to
teach in public «chool s and it is se!f-
/evrdent that money for their salaries
must be raised by taxation. Most
stenographers are employed * n private
enterprises and it would be illogical
to tax teachers to pay Jjieir salaries,
although the salaries of such steno-
Those lots in New Jersey, one free
with two, were never located by our
lawyer up there; my appraisers will
wonder why I ever bought ’em. The
25 acres of Telophono common will
possibly be overlooked. I hope so
anyway. Those S' notes I endorsed
(and paid) for Cousin Joe will prob
ably smell bad to those boy? when
they list them, but they must remem
ber—when I endorsed Cousin Joe’s
notes he was rich, had 2 big automo
biles, 26 mules, 524 acres of land, and
didn’t owe but a little over $75,000.00.
Risky? Why, he wa s a good risk.
