“They say” that Mr. Buck Duke wishes to live in his new house in Charlotte as a citizen of the State. Good.
“They say” he will not do so unless the Legislature will pass an act exempting his big fortune from taxation. Bad.
Mr. Duke ought to come back home and take pot-luck with all citizens. This State is the eternal foe of special privilege.
From the editorial page of The Raleigh News & Observer, Feb. 21, 1923
