Distributors of I EASTERN FERTILIZERS through these the purchasing power of all our people. Thus the Revenue Bill of 1938 may have an important effect In bringing about a much-needed upturn in busi ness and industry, accompanied by more Jobs, more buying and better farm prices. Why is this true? Obviously in vestment of new capital means stimulated business and industry, with expansion of * factories and stores. In turn, these things in crease the demand for labor and the ability of wage-earners to buy. For some time business men, large and small, have contended that the undistributed profits tax and the capital gains tax have "frozen" capital and exercised a retarding effect on our whole bus iness and industrial structure. Support of this contention is found in the fact that the Ways and Means Committee have great ly modified these levies and the House has defeated the proposed tax on "closely held" or family corporations. The House measure, which will undoubtedly be further changed in the Senate, eliminates from any undistributed profits tax all corporations with a net in come of $25,000 or less. Some tax authorities estimate that this exemption affects about 175,000 of the some 200.000 cor porations in the country that make a taxable return. What effect the new tax con cessions may have on business and industry and on merchants, wage-earners and farmers is, of course, problematic. However, if the contention that the tax poli cies of the administration have retarded recovery has any merit, then there is every reason to be lieve that removal of these re tarding factors should give new stiumulus to every element of bus iness and industry. Few states have a more vital in terest in the new tax legislation than North Carolina. Thus more equitable taxation should be of great benefit to the state as a whole, and should give new hope and encouragement to all citizens. There is another aspect of tax legislation causing much com ment in Washington. It is the in creasing difficulty of finding new sources of revenue. During debate in the House, particularly when the proposed levy on "closely held" or family corporations was defeated, tax leaders frankly con ceded that finding new sources of revenue presents a real problem. To many, this indicates that Fed eral economies must come. Many members of Congress, like indi viduals in private life, are realiz ing that expenditures can be no greater than income. This has al ways held true. Hope for a solution of this com plex national problem can rest only with business and industry. More jobs and more wages seem THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA Students Use Library for Reading: and Studying L_, *BjMBI a> ± m I m EJ£L : m • * HWffcßF in I f rlMB vH ■^■■ iiaaMM gm _ IfIHESfM vi;?- - !^IB9I WLm> - A yH^r cIPCLJMft.■ v:".x sift Mi 1 H^o^roiPir - >' Jhes^^S The photograph above, made by J. Mark McAdams, superintendent of Elkin schools, was taken in the library of the Elkin High School, and is considered very unusual inasmuch as all the students pic tured were still long enough for a time exposure and really appear to be studying. Students pictured are, left to right, Lestine Lawrence (in plaid dress), Frances Alexander, Bill Gambili, Frank Walker (with back to camera), Ralph "Red" Dorsett, John Ratledge and Sam Foster. The top of Hugh Gille land's head may be seen just above the head of Frances Alexander. The library is equipped with over a thousand books and also receives numerous newspapers and magazines. the way out. In turn, this means a bigger national income for our people and a wider distribution of the cost of essential functions of government. As this column is written, the House is putting the finishing touches on the new revenue bill, preparatory to sending it to the Senate. Hearings by the Senate Finance Committee will follow. After this will come action in the Senate, conferences to adjust House and Senate differences, and final passage of the tax bill. There is general agreement that this measure is a key to stimulated business and industrial activity— if it fully meets the needs of the day. Suspicious Chinaman A Chinese was worried by a vicious dog, which" barked at him in an angry manner. "Don't be afraid of him," said the owner. "You know the old proverb, 'A barking dog never bites'." "Yes," said the Chinese, "You know ploverb, and me know plo verb, but does dog know ploverb?" SCHOOL LIBRARY HAS 1,253 BOOKS Is Used as Place of Reading and Study by High School Students IS USED IN OTHER WAYS According to information re ceived from Elkin High School, a school library, no matter how well equipped, can be used for something other than book larn in' and the cultivation of one's mind, if any, but nevertheless the library in the local school is said to be a popular spot with many of the more serious stud ents as well as with those whose, taste runs to thrillodrama fiction rather than weighty subjects de signed as more substantial brain food. Which is rather a long winded way of getting around to the fact that the Elkin Hi library contains a total of 1,253 volumes, although wasn't learned who went to the trouble of counting them. In addition to these books, which include fiction, history, biogra phy, literature, science and phil osophy, whatever that is, there is also available a World Book En cyclopedia Americana and an un abridged dictionary for pupils who want to know something about what or how to spell which. The library also receives some of the world's best literature in the form of newspapers, being on the mailing list of The Elkin Tribune, for which they are to be congratulated, or something; the Winston-Salem Journal, the Mount Airy Times and News, and several college and high school papers. In addition, 22 magazines are received each publication date, of which Life and Liberty are said to be most popular. A bit of undercover work (not under the book covers, either) has disclosed the amazing fact that the freshmen read more than any other class (they probably haven't gotten used to being able to read yet), while the boy students go for adventure stories much to the sorrow of their geometry and latin teachers (or is latin in good taste anymore?) One freshman boy is said to read poetry for pleasure but is otherwise quite normal in every respect. The local library has six tables and seats for 36 students. Each student is required to pay 40 cents annually for the use of the li brary, which, on the whole, is used for study and reading. However, there are a few (or maybe just a few have been caught up with), who use ft as a gymnasium for their tongues. Occasionally a sweet young thing converts it in to a beauty parlor. All worn books have been re paired by the county library pro ject. There is no full time librar ian.
