MASON, Editor Subscription Rates $1.00 The year in Polk or adjoining counties. S1.50 to all other points. Gov. Herring: took a slap at the newspapers over the state in a recent radio talk, when he said that the newspapers were the only ones, warning teh delinquent tax list printed. Of coarse the Governor was only grandstanding in order to cover up some of his own extravagant measures put thru in the last two years, such as his $35,000 Brookings Institute Men, recommendations were the same old stuff that has been laid on the Shelf by legislatures for decades; his special session which cost the state over his sales tax which be nothing more than an added tax; and his other money spending ventures.

The newspapers are not clamoring to have the delinquent tax list published, bat the law says this list along with other measures should be published so that the tax payers may know and until that law is repealed it should be carried out. There are many reports, proceedings of different organizations which the law says should be published, but many times are not because the officials do not care to have them become public They sometimes feel that airing of snch affairs cause too much argument among their constituents. The) call it cutting down to economize bu' The more ptiMic matters are published or made public the less graft there will be, anyhow, the tax payer baa a right to know what his men" are doing with the mon ey be pays in taxes, without having to hire another man to dig it out for him Walter P. McGnire, editor of the Southside Virginia News, Petersberg Virginia, says: "Having blared the permanent way across the laid itself down seemingly endlesi miles across the level land, bridged little creek and spreading and roaring river, climbed over mountains or blasted its way through them, the railroad made itself per heps the largest single instrument of rational developement, servant of in dividuals and great industries great American institution." He the out how privileged competj tion, tax subsidized and. unregulated, has crippled and nearly destroyed, highly taxed and over-regulated rail- toads.

Out of this testing period, the railroads are emerging into a new era brought about by imagination and courage on the part of their managements. The Union Pacific, for example, is pioneering what is undoubtedly the world's fastest, long distance land travel method. Its aluminum train with every modern convenience has a speed of 110 miles an hour.
