Durham, X. C\, Xov. 2S.—Some time around the first of the year Mrs. Mary Happer, of this city, expects to receive a fortune of $12,000,000. She has received word that the gov ernment, which has held the property, j which is to be divided among the sur viving heirs for many years, will hand over to her her share of the estate, which will rearfi the figure men tioned. Recently a will has come to light in the Isle of Wight county, Virginia, written Oy John Marshall, the ihrst chief justice of the %’nited States Su preme Court, for his vast estate, in which the direct descendants were to secure the property. Mrs. Happer has claimed her share under this pro vision, claiming that her father was the last of the direct descendants. Two brothers of the Durham woman will also come in for their propor tionate part of the estate, she elaims Some time ago the local woman received word of the finding of the j will. At that time it .was thought! that the estate would comprise about .‘tfkfiOO acres. Later it has beeh found that the estate numbers 04.000 acres, which includes coal fields, timber lands and small towns. COTTON STORING PLAN NOT WORKING WITH SUCCESS Reason is That Most of Crop Has Already Been Sold- Washington, Xov. 27. —The Coot idge administration plan to etore 4.- 4)00.000 bales of cotton, in order to advance the price to the southern j planters, it as revealed today at the i federal farm loan board, i« not work ing very well. It was said there by . one of the southern members who would not allow his name to be used, that the plan was impractical, that the authors of it knew it would not work. It was mere’y a “gesture” of the cnemiees in the administration, of the much feared Taugen bill, and it had been encouraged by financial in terests to keep the southern farmers from becoming rank radicals. and joining the “agrarian revolutionists" of the west. It has now l>een more than a month since the administration plan to loau the farmers in the south $185.000.000 for the purpose of re tiring 4,000,000 bales of this year’s crop for a period of 18 months, was ’aunehed. Xot one penny of that money has been paid to any farmer, and probably will not be. because at the t'me the plan was announced the ; farmers had sold practically all the cotton they had produced.

' Will Taxes Be Increased or Reduced by Next Legislature? j tribune Bureau, S r Walter Hotel ICY J. C. BASKERVII.I |;. linh igh Xov. 20.- Taxe*—are they j g->ir:g w> be inci-easrd or reduced in j the approaching rov.lon of me legls ia« ure? This i« a quesiion not only upper m» Ms ia the ini ml-! of p ditieians here iri ihe slate cap t il, hut in the minds jof the people all over the i-tate as well, je peelally oince there has been a well j defined move gotten on foot by thoce iopposed to the present state adminis !iration to organize a spending orgy jin Lie f rthcoming legislature. But ! who realize that every dollar j expended by the legislature must be .derived by a tax on something or j somebody in the state, are already cskicg themselves and otheis to uhovv where this addit onal revenue may be obtained. For if the legislature should decide to give every institution and department "every dollar asked for," 'as some are already advocating, it w» uh! require at least $.*1,000,000 :id diiior.a! revenue, and perhaps more. ’Flu* income for the general fund. | not including tin* highway depart ment. for the last lineal year was a iMtlc less than $12,000,000. and al though tin* appropriation for this pe riod exceeded the actual income by 'means of the f» per cent horizontal cut and other savings in the administra tions of the state's finances, actual ex- I penditnres for the 1025-20 fiscal year ; were held down to $11,702,350. How ever the estimated expenditures for the current fiscal year amount to mere than $13,000,000 with but slight indications that the revenue will ex ceed $12,000.00. Thus it becomes im mediately evident that if the legisla ture increases the appropriations ter $15,000,000 or more, which would be necessary to grant the requests al ready made before the budget com i mission, some method of increasing the revenue of the state, through in ! creased taxes, or additional taxes, { will have to be worked out. What avenues of taxation are still i open, and what possible increases could be made in tax schedules already existing? Perhaps one of the first things the lay mind turns to in thinking of tax able sources of income is corpora tions. They are generally thought of ias being wealthy and amply able to bear taxat : on without feeling the bur den in proportion as individuals and smaller businesses do. But. it must be remembered that North Carolina is already levying one of the highest taxes levied by any Htate in the United States on fran chises of corporations, likewise the taxes lev : ed on incomes of corpora tions and individuals are high, and not far from the constitutional limit, which is a (> i>er cent. Tax experts point out that it is possible to tax corporation or individuals only to a certain point, and that if that point is passed, the income derived tends to diminish rather than increase, be cause whenever a corporation finds ! that it is being taxed beyond the point j where it causes to earn a marginal re ' turn on its investment, ir has to do one of two things: either close up and 1 quit business or move to another ( state where the tax load is not so ex cessive.

C., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2971926 crossed beyond the point of danger in j taxing corpora Cons, and has been the g.iinrr in a number of instances where • large corporations have moved their 1 organizations bodily to this state as a ' result it s excessive taxation in other .stares. *! Tims it is that reonomir.ts argue with most etlective h'.g’c that it is betlnr to depencj upon a large volume [ oT front numerous industries moderately laxed, than to drive away these industries through the levying of too high a tax. And if an aitewifft is made to increase the tax on corpora tions in the state at present. the tax rate already perilously the danger point, the state is Fke* to find that the incomes remiitit* would be less than at present. The stine thing holds true in nee!ion with the income tax. both on corporations and individuals. Some; may argue that these taxes should be j increased to the full am unit allowed | under. I’ue const it ut ion <» per cent. I But here again tin* economists and tax expcrlw say that wlrle a eligh! in crease in revenue might result, such | a boost in the tax rate on incomes I would have an extremely harmful es- j feet on the credit standing of the I stale, in that it would in effect indi-i cate that it had exhausted its taxing ! power. i Another significant consideration : n connection with the question of in creasing the state's revenue, is that Pot one of tlwtta* who are advocating more spending by the State, and al riu.td unlimited appropriations, has even dared to mention the subject of increased taxes, and has steered shy of any mention of taxes at all. Si* it once more becomes evident that while, these do not hesitate to urge more libera'it,v on the part of th(e state, they have no plan to offer to provide the increased cash that this liberality would entail. And in this day and age in which the people as a whole keep informed on these mat ters. and realize that in the end it le they who have to pay, they are not going to leap before they take a look. The taxpayers of the state as well as of the nation are insisting more and more that they be given 100 cents worth of service for 100 cents paid in taxes, and they are checking up on their public servants in office constant ly to see that this is done. Consequently it is not l : kely that the people of the state of North Car olina. who pay the taxes to support the government, are going to approfe any wild, harum-scarum plan for pro miscuous expenditures to any who ask. just became they ask it. Neitlffr are they going to permit the legisla ture to kill the goose that lays the golden egg by increasing taxen beyond the point- where the marginal utilTy of the agencies taxed will be impair ed. In other words, the taxpayers of the state want a fiscal policy in the state whereby the most can be received for every dollar expended, with all unes sential expenditures eliminated. And they want these expenditures kepi within the revenue of the state. 11l 1 other words, they want a balanced budget wh : eh is exactly what the pres ent state administration is striving for.

I Simpson had attempted to show by j bis questioning Saturday that the use of the word “casualty” in her inquiry to the iHilice indicated knowledge that her husband liad been murdered. Defense counsel then said that the word had no such meaning, but was properly used in referring to possible accidents. The court gave no official ruling and no call was sent for a diction ary, This was the first time Mrs. Hall had attempted to correct the prosecu tor. Her brother Willie Stevens in Mis testimony several times called the lawyer's attention to lapses in pro nmickition ami use of terms although" no actual definition was involved. The court was finteen minutes late getting underway today. Mrs. Hall wore the same black coat ami hat, making up her costume Saturday, the sombre note being relieved only by a white collar to her black dress and dark gray gloves. All three of the defendants showed evidences of good spirits, when they took their seats. Ilenry Stevens greeted several cous ins, and Willie Stevens in addition , to exchanging hand clasps with mem-j bers of the family group, shook hands | warmly with John Runn. the court 1 crier. Mrs. Hall smiled at the crowd about her chair, but she was austere again when she walked to the witness stand. The State was assembling witnesses I to be put forward in rebuttal as the defense prepared to rest its case. Henry L. Bickham, former New Jersey state trooper, who testified for the state, was in the (*ourt room. Rec ords of lr's witness in the U. S. Army. Navy and Marine Corps have been in troduced by the defense. He testi fied that the late Azakiah Deekham, j the one time prosecutor of Somer-! feet County, paid him $2,500 to leave j the state after he had investigated the Hall-Mills case over a period of months including an interview with Henry Stevens at Lavalette.
