Railroads' Request For>Interlocntor}
Injunction Forbidding Tax Or-tlfication

Request upon the part of attor

A D. Watte. North Carolina com-missioner
of internal revenue, be re-strained
by an interlocutory injunc-tion
forbidding him to certify down
the 1922 ad valorem valuations was
refused by a three-judge federal
court here iMonday afternoon fol-lowing
argument.
That was a clear victory for thi
s'ale, another in the long staudin?
tax dispute, but IV was followed h\
a victory for the railroads, thei
attorneys securing for them a 45
day stay restraining the revenu
onm'ssioner from any certification
for that period.
The stav was granted in order to
allow the railroads to perfect their
appeal from the ruling denying
them an injunction, notices of which
appeal they filed as Soon as the

Waddlll, Jr., of Richmond, ot Cir-cuit
Court of Appeals, H. G. Con-nor,
of the Eastern North Carolina
Federal district court, and James E.

court. The three judges were
unanimous in their decision. ._y -^
' Should the matter be not settled
by decision' ot the Supreme court
on the appeal of the railroads as to
a termer chapter, the'denial of in-junction
forbidding the collection
ot tax in dispute in 19>21, which is
scheduled to come up the first Mon-day
in November, the railroads will
be back at the end of the 45-day
period asking for a continuance-of
the stay, it was indicated today.
The stay', however, means that
while It is in force there cannot
even be certification of the propor-tionate
share of the counties, school
districts and municipalities. There
wijl not be payment of even the
taxes due on the valuation admitted
fair by the rajlroads while the stay
in force.
The SUMS at stake are very large.
The Southern railway, appraised a
ninety-six million dollars, contends
that all over sixty million dollars
is excessive and discriminatory.
Figures for the other roads are:
Atlantic Coast Line, appraised, fifty
million dollars; admitted, thirty-four
million; Seaboard, appraised, thirty-four
million dollars, admitted twen-ty.
seven million: Norfolk Southern,
appraised, twenty-seven million dol-lars,
admitted, eighteen million; At-lantic

FARM BUREAU MAKING
GRATIFYING PROGRESS
I. N. Paine Tells of Some of Reneflts
Accruing to Farmers Through
Development of Movement
By 1. N. PAINR
(Secrt-tary N. C. F. R. F.)
The Farm bureau movement In
North Carolina is progressing rea-sonably
well in the counties where
organization work is being conduct-ed.
This is a natural outcome o'
the educational program ot ih>
North Carolina Farm Bureau, feder-ation
and the County Farm bureaus.
For more than $t year these- organi-zations
have been putting out pub-licity
matter that explains to tbe
farmers ot the county and of the
state the good that can be accom-plished
by a strong farmers' organi-zation
when backed by a body of In-fluential
farmers in the local com-munities
of the counties. .
This educational work has result-ed
in a demand from the leading
farmers of a number of counties for
organization work to be pressed
whereby a_strong organization will
be built up for the purpose of secur-ing
for the farmers some measure of
justice in transportation, legislation,
marketing and other matters where-in
the farmers have heretofore been
unable, to receive the necessary rec-ignition
for placing their,operations
>n a successful business basis. These
leading farmers no longer consider
their business inferior to that of
he business of any other group of
citizens of tbe country. They con-sider
.that since they own 52 per
cent, of the wealth of tbe nation and
pay 65 per cent, of all freight rates,
and TO per cent, ot all taxes and
really own and operate six and one-halCmllllon
manufacturing plants
from which they manufacture the
raw material for tbe sustenance and
comfort of 100 million inhabitants
of the United States, and produce 44
per cent, of"the exports ot America,
that they really are business men.
and that their business should be
conducted on as sound a basis, as
that of banking, manufacturing, or
any other business line of the entire
country,
Feeling this way they realize that
a strong organisation such as tha>
sustained by other business bodies
is the means by which they can at-
•ain their proper place in their rela-tions
toward other business Indus-tries,
in searching the field occu-pied
by farm organisation, the Farm
bureau naturally appeals to this
class of farmers as it Is organised of
farmers, for farmers, and by farm-ers,
and has established different de-partments
such as co-operative mar-keting,
legislation, transportation,
taxation, etc.. with expert, men In
each of these lines as head of each
special department. The fanners
have-also studied the results obtain-ed
by these departments and realise
that these results justify them In
aligning themselves with this organ-ization
which Is nation-wide In
scope, having more tnan one mil-lion
and a half farmers in the or-ganization
with 2.600 counties or-ganised
in 47 state* io the Union.
They have learned that the taxation
department is working strenuously
to see that the owners of the -other
48 per cent, of the wealth of the
United States shall pay more than
30 per cent of the taxes of the
country. They have learned that/the
transportation department has been
Instrumental In securing a reduction
which has saved to the shippers of
the country $240 millions within the
last r2 months, and since the farm-ers
pay 55 per cent, ot all the freight
chargesithey consider that this re-duction
represents a direct cash sav-ing
to each farmer in the country.
They have learned that this same
-transportation department alone
