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. Resolutions of Respect.

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 either the tax-only policy or the loan only policy. AIKIVO all.
