WEDDING ROMANCE. . |
Marriage of Couple in Graham Kept
Secret Three Months.
\
On March sth Miss Leon a Lam
bertson of Brown wood, Texas, and
Mr. Thomas White Ruffin of Lou'b
burg, N. C., were united in marriage
in the M. E. church in Graham.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. H. E. Myers, Pastor of the
church. The officiating minister and
the witness to the ceremony kept the
secret. The announcement cards
were issued at Louisburg ou Knd
inst. and the account of the marriage
appeared in the papers on Sunday
after as follows:
"Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Lambertson
announce the marriage of their
daughter, Leona Wood, to Mr.
Thomas White Ruffin, on March fifth,
nineteen hundred and seventeen,
Methodist chorch, Graham, N rth
Carolina."
The story, aa interesting as a fairy
tale, runs in this way: About the
first of March the bride was contem
plating an extended visit to relatives
in Texas covering a period of several
montha, and the young couple, not
desiring to be separated by so many
miles or such a long space of time
without really belonging to each
other, decided to plight their troth,
which decision culminated in their
marriage at Graham on Marcu 5.
Informing no one except their im
mediate families of their happiness,
Mr. and Mrs. Ruffin left the world
in complete ignorance of their mar
riage until the announcement today,
their plan being to keep the knowl
edge of their marriage from their
friends until the bridegroom's gradu
ation at the University.
The bride ia the beautiful and at
tractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs
W. P. Lambertson of Brownxyood,
Texas. In North Carolina she is well
known in Raleigh, Winston-Salem
and Louisburg society with which
she has been very prominently con
nected. -
Mr. Ruffin is a talented young at
torney, entering the practice of law
in Louisburg. He is a member of
the graduating class of the University
of North Carolina where he takes
both the A.B. and LL.B. degrees.
While at the University he was prom
inent in all college activities. Dur
ing his junior year he represented
the Phi Society in the commence
ment debate, and in 1915 he won the
distinction of taking the only victory
of the year from the University of
Virginia by winning the annual
inter-collegiate debate between these
two institutions, held at Baltimore,
Md. In his college life he has won
a host of friends who wish him much
success. Mr. Ruffin is a member of
the distinguished Ruffin family of
Franklin county and is the eldrpt*
son of Hon. William Haywood Ruffin,
lawyer and banker, of Louisburg.

A Goastructivs Criticism on the
House Revenue Bill.
LOANS BETTER THAN TAXES
Five Raaeone Why Exceeelve Taxaa at
the Outaat of War Are Disadvantage
oua—- Great Britain Example Worthy
of Emulation—How the Taxaa Should
Be Apportioned.
By EDWIN R. A. SELIQMAN,
McVlckar Profewor of Political Econ
omy, Columbia University.
On May 23, 1017, tbe House of Rep
resentatives passed an act "to provide
revenue to defray war expenses and
for other purposes." Iq the original
bill as presented by the Committee of
Ways and Means, tbe additional reve
nue to be derived was estimated at sl,-
810,420,000. Tbe nmendment to tbe in
come tux, which was tucked on to tbe
bill during tbe discussion In tbe House,
was expected to yield uuotber $40,000,-
000 or $50,000,000.
In discussing the House bill, two
problems arise:
I. How much should be raised by
taxation?
11. lu what manner should this sum
be raised 7
I. How Much Should Be Raised by
Taxation? J
How was the figure of $1,800,000,000
arrived ut? The auswer Is simple. When
the Secretary of the Treasury came to
estimate the additional war expenses
for tbe year 1017-Is, be calculated that
they would ajnount te some $0,000,-
000,000, of which $3,000,004 000 was to
be allotted to the allies, and $3,000,-
000,000 was to be utilized for tbe do
mestic purposes Thinking that It
would be a fair proposition te divide
this latter sum between loans and
taxes, be concluded that tbe umount
to be raised by taxes was $1,800,000,-
000.
There are two extreme theories, each
of which may be dismissed with scant
courtesy. The oue is that all war ex
penditures should be defrayed by loans,
and the other Is that all war expendi
tures should be defrayed by taxes.
Each theory Is untenable.
It Is Indeed true tlint the burdens of
the war should be borne by the pres
ent rather than the future generation:
but tbls does not mean that they should
be borne by this year's taxation.
Meeting all war expenses by taxation
makes the taxpayers In one or two
years bear the burden of benefits that
ought to be distributed at least over a
decade within the same generation.
In the second place, wlieu expendi
tures approach the gigantic sums of
present-day warfare, the tax-only pol
icy would require more than the total
surplus of social income. Were this
ahsolutvly necessary, the ensuing hav
oc In the economic hfe of the communi
ty would have to be endured. But
where the disasters are so great and
at the same time so unnecessary, the
tax-only policy may bu declared Im
practicable.
Secretary McAdoo had the right In
stinct and highly commendable cour
age In deciding thut a substantial por
tion. at least, of the revenues should
be derived from taxation. IJut when
be hit upon the plan of 50-50 per cent.,
that (S, of raising one-half of all do
mestic war expenditures by taxes, the
question arises whether tie did not go
too far.
The relative proportion of loaiiß to
taxes la after nil a purely business
proposition. Not to rely y> u large ex
tent on loans at the outset of a war Is
a mistake.
Disadvantages of Exctislvi Taxaa.
Tlio disudvanta kch of excessive taxes
at tbe outset of the war are as follows:
1. Excessive taxes on consumption
will ennjj! popular resentment.
2. Excessive taxes on Industry will
disarrange business, dump entliuslasm
and restrict the s|>irlt of enterprise at
the very time when the opjioslte Is
needed.
8. Excessive taxes on Incomes will de
plete the surplus available for Invest
ments and interfere with the placing of
the enormous loans which will lie neces
sary in uny event. /
4. Excessive taxes on wealth will
cause a serious diminution of the In
comes which are at present largely
drawn uikhi for the support of educa
tional and philanthropic enterprises.
Moreover, these sources of support
would be dried up precisely at the time
when the need would he greatest.
5. Escmivs taxation at tha outsat of
the war will raduc* tha elasticity avail
able for tha increasing demands that
are soon to coma.
Great Britain's Policy.
Take Great Britain np an example.
Daring the first year of the war she
Increased tnxi-s only slightly, In order
to keep industries going at top notch.
I)uring the second year she raised by
new taxes only 0 per cent, of her war
expenditures. During the third year
■he levied hy additional taxes (over
and above the pre-war level) only
slightly more than 17 |ier cent, of her
war expenses.
If we should attempt to do ss much
In the first year of the war as Great
Britain did In the third year It would
sotllce to raise by taxation $ 1.250.000,•
000. If, In to l>e absolutely on
the safe side. It seemed advisable to
increase"the sum to HXiOO.OOO.OUO, this
■bould. In our opinion, be the maxi
mum.
In comfldering the apportionment of
the extraordinary burden of taxe* In
War tluie* certain scientific principle*
are deOnlM; eatiilillalied:
How Tax** Should Bo Apportioned:
(1) The burden of taxea must be
apread an far ax poaalbln over the
whole community ao a* to catiae each
individual to aliaro 11l the sacrifice* •£•
cording to lila ability to |«y and ac
cording to hla nhare In the government
12) Taxe* oh consumption, which are
necessarily Untie by the community at
large, ahould l>e Imposed an far aa po*-
alhle on artl let of ipiaal luxury rather
than on tboae of necessity.
(3) Exclae* ahould he Imposed aa far
aa possible upon commodltlea In tb«
hand* of the-filial consumer rather
than tiiHjn th« art Idea which aerve pri
marily a* raw material for further
production.
Mi Taxes ujxin buainea* ahould be
imposed aa far aa poaalble upon net
eartilnga rather than upon groaa re
celpta or capital lnveated.
(5) Taxea uj>on income which will
neceaaarlly be acvere ahould be both
differentiated and graduated. That la.
there ahuuld be a distinction between
earned and unearned Income* and tbert
should Ge a li.'gheF rate upon Hie fargei
tn*> ■*- Vwvrer, not
te make the Income rate so excessive
as to lead to evasion, administrative
difficulties, or to the more fundamental
objections which have been urged
above. {
(0) Tbe excess profits which are dut
to the war constitute the most obvious
and reasonable source of revenue dur
ing war times. But tbe pj-ldelple upon
which these war-profit taxes are ilald
must be equitable In theory and easily
calculable in practice.
The Proposed Income Tax.
Tbe additional Income tax as passed
by tbe House runs up to a rate of 00
per cent. This Is a sum unheard of In
tbe history of civilized society. It must
be remembered that It was only aftei
tbe first year of the war that Ureal
Britain Increased ber Income tax to th
maximum of 34 per cent., and thai
even now In the fourth year of the wai
the Income tax does not exceed 42M
per cent.
It could easily be shown that a tax
wltb» rates on moderate Incomes sub
stantially less than In Great Britain,
and on the larger Incomes about as
high, would yield only slightly less than
the $532,000,100 originally estimated In
the House bill.
It Is to be hoped thnt the Renate will
reduce the total rate on tbe highest In
comes to 84 per cent, or at most to 40
per cent, and that at the same time It
will reduce the raf on the smaller In
comes derived from |>ersonal or profes
sional earnings.
If the war contlnuea we shall have to
depend mora and mora upon the In
come tax. By imposing axeeeelve rates
now wa arc not only endangering the
future, but are Inviting all manner •
difficulties which even Qreat Britain
hae been able to eecapa.
Conclueion.
The House hill contains other funda
mental defects which may lie summed
up as follows:
(1) It pursues an erroneous prlnclpls
In ImpoaliiK retroactive taxes.
(2) It selects uu unjust and uriwork
able criterion for the excess-profits tax.
(3) It proceeds to an unheard-of
height in the Income tax.
(4) It Imposies unwarranted burdent
upon the consumption of the commu
nity.
B) It Is calculated to throw buslnea*
Into confusion by levying taxes on groe»
receipts Instead of ii[>oii commodities.
(0) It fulls to make a proiier use ol
stamp taxes.
(7) It follows an unscientific system
in Its Hut rate on imports.
(8) It Includes a multiplicity of pet
ty and unlticratlre taxes, the vexatious
ness of which Is out of all proportion ti
the revenue they produce.
The fundamental lines on which the
Ilouse bill should lie modified are sum
med up herewith:
(1) The amount of new taxation
should be, limited to $ 1,250,000,000—0 i
at the outset to 11,500,000,000. To dc
more than tbls tvould be as unwise a>
It is unnecessary. To do even thlt
would be to do more than has evet
been done by any civilized Uovern
ment In time of stress.
(2| The excess profits tux based upot
a sound system ought to yield about
$500,000,000.
(3) The Income tax schedule ought ti
be revised with u lowering of the ratei
on earned Incomes below SIO,OOO, anC
with an analogous lowering of th
rates on (lit higher Incomes, so as nol
to exceed 81 per cent. A careful cat
culatlon shows Hint an Incqme tax ol
this kind would yield some $150,000,
000 additional.
Mi The tux on whisky and tobscc
ought to remuln approximately as it is.
with a yield of about $230,000,000.
These three taxes, together with the
stamp tax at even the low rate of the
Ilouse bill, and with an Improved au
tomobile tax, will yield over $1,250,-
000,000, which Is the amount of money
thought desirable.
The above program would be In bar
mony with an approved scientific aya
tem. It will do away with almost all
of the complaints that are tftdng urged
against the present. It will refrain
from taxing tho consumption of the
poor.
It will throw n far heavier burden
upon the rlclr, but will not go to th
extremes of confiscation. It will ob
vlate Interference with business ant)
will keep unimpaired the social pro
ductlvlty of the community.
It will establish * Just balance be
tween loans and taxes and will nol
succumb to the danger of approachlnf

only policy. AIKIVO all. It will keep an
