If the Legislature is deluding itself
with the idea that the boards of edu
cation by the people will keep the pub
lic schools out of politics it has
another guess coming. Or if it thinks
the proposit(on to give the minority
representation on these boards in re-
publican counties will improve con
ditions a rude awakening is in pros
pect. The whole scheme is politics
gone to seed. Better let well enough
alone.

Willi nil the ip- Uican members on

away the vote in the Britt-Weaver
case is r.ot at all surprising. It was
a strict party vo'e in the Committee
and a strict party vote in the House,
with a r-imb'.T of democrats absent.
However. Mr. Weaver has been vin
dicated by an unquestioned majority
of 1,053 at the last election. Vindica
tion p. home i vastly more valuable

A WISE DECISION.
"once again the Gfenera.l Assem
bly of NorthCarolina decided.that di
rorces shall not be made easier by
legislative enactment. Two or three
'l-.j'ls relating to the divorce question
and destined to make that instrument
more easily obtained have been intro
duced and promptly rejected. Thera
i.c torce in th- Miggestion that mer
should be re.iur.ca. to observe tv.e
sjime standards c:f morals that are de
manded by o--e-y of the weaker sex.
T'oth should Do measured by the srae
fiandard. At tl. same time there
be no letting down of the bars
in the divorce laws of the State and, the
present General Assembly is showing
visdem in disproving any iuruu
laxity in the .'auirements touching
raarital relation-, .nd obligations,
The practioa of letting down :ie
bars for the l.nefit of special casss
siarted away r-ii in 1899 and resulv
ei in a goodlf c?op of separations
v:thin a few 'ars. Marriage be
cime a mocl'.eiy and the evil of
vorce thrived for a time. The doub
standard of ir.oia:; will hardly be
r i re harmful tjan would lettm
, downthe bars the purpose oi
making divorce easier. Tne point ad
vanced that en who. insist and
Tiehtlv so thai their wives shall
-fceep themselves unspotted froni te
world," should measure their 'oara
icotduct by t.ie tame yardstick: OuVy
Rhiee states Kentucky, New York
pud North Ca.olina make a distinc-r
tion on this point and the Raleigh so-;
lens argued well the point that chang
es in the present la w, contemplated
by 'the proposed meausre, might be
used by immoral men to impose upon
innocent women in the practice of ne
farious schemes against society was
well taken. But the Legislature has
wisely concluded that divorce shall
not be made easier in North Carolina
at this time. And the point is well
taken.
TAX AMENDMENT GOES THROUGH
. The State Senate and House of Re
presentatives have passed the bill pro
viding for the submission to the peo
ple of the proposed tax amendment to
the Constitution which will make pos
sible the taxing of unearned incomes

vote, but certain special interests J
made a desperate attempt to defeat it
in the Senate. That they failed is
due to the splendid leadership of Sena
tor James A. Gray of Forsyth. He
laid his plans well and had the back

fifths of those present and voting was
necessary, under constitutional re
quirements, to put the proposed
amendment through. On a roll call
thirty-five voted in the affirmative and
only nine in the negative. This means
that the people will have an oppor
tunity to say at the next election
whether unearned incomes shall bear
their proportional part of the govern
ment expenses. The provision of the
Constitution to be amended is as fol
lows: ' The General Assembly may also
tax tia-ies, professions, franchises,
and incomes: Provided, that no in
come shall be taxed when the property
from which the income is derived is
taxd"
This is rank discrimination in favor
of the citizen whose personal income
from ownership of property is de
rived without effort on his part, in
that he is not taxed b single cent,
wnile the user of property is required
to pay to the limit. As we have saia

maintaining the splendid uni'vmiW oz
action that has marked a steady au
vancement in our educational pro
gress. It is said that a bill will I.e
proposed' by Victor Bryant, one of the
representatives frora Durham county
to allow the republicans to l:.';v? a
majority of members of boards of
education in republican counties ant.
that democrats shall control the mem
berships of boa:ds in the counties
casting a major! y of votes for demo
cratic candidal rs. "ihis plan does not
appear to be por.ubir. ?-,ut has some
support. Since there is ro be a bronTc
in the present no .; of selecting mem
bers of county boards of ."duration, is
it believed that the elective pian will
be more satisfiV'toiy than the scheme
proposed by Mi. "Bryant. Many of the
members think a:y cmg8 at all
from the present system will be a
monumental DlundT. I:ut the fellows
who are clamoring for the authority
i to elect their boards do not slop to
think of the effect it may have upon,
the plan carefullv wi-rked ouc. of a
state-wide charvj's? for tht a l'TH'ce
ment of the public schools of North
Carolina. Vcaicies ,iu orn-h tcrnlyj

I The ilevjHU-5 !il. is -through l ' h
i
branches and the machinery Act has
, started on its way. The educational
' bill providing a six months school
each year for all the children in iho
State went through with little opposi
tion; the Board of Health's sanitary
I measures have been accepted: the new
(taxation scheme was approved last
i week ; the tax amendment to the Stite
constitution ratified vf. an enniioMe
basis for the re-assesmoat of prop
erty agreed upon. The anpropriation
bill carrying relief for all charitable
and educational Institutions is prac-
i tically complete and the State high
way measure will receive the finishing
'touches and be a law before the end
I
of the week, unless all signs fail. The
joint-committee on public roads has
been in almost continuous session for
days considering the numerous bi!s
proposed and a final conclusion of the
whole matter is hourly expected. TLe
Stacey substitute to the Seales-Ste-vens
bill did not please some leading
members of the House, who appear to
be fighting for notoriety, an this has
resulted in the introduction of a mul
titude of new schemes which had to be
considered and passed upon. The
failure of the House, to accept the
Senate measure has delayed and en
dangerd the prospects of road legis
lation. It meam further argument
in the Senate and ultimate adjustment
by a conference committee of the two
houses. The latest proposition is for
the State to raise half the amount
necessary to match Federal aid by the
automobile tax and short-term soles,
if the notes shall be needed to make
.up the required sum in the cooperative
"-"'ra of sa.t.e fnd government activi
ties In "road construction. Under this
Tlan counties would have to provide
for raising the other half by the issue
-of 'bonds and short-term notes. Opin
ion on the subject have differed widely
all the while, but an amicable adjust
ment is in prospect.
Senator Stevens, of Buncombe,
threw the fat in the fire some days
ago by the introduction of a bill pro
hibiting the' killing of deer in Bun-
combe, Haywood, Henderson, Jack-

of five years. Representatives from
the counties, effected were not con

favorable report an amendment to ex

of the act will be offered on the floor
of the Htfuse. Mr. Jackson will also
ask that Henderson be excepted and

session. The amended law imposes a
fine of ten to twenty dollars for first
