Under file North Carolina Constt uion the tax on foreign corporation dividends is’ an illegally collected tax. ays Revenue Commissioner Maxwell and others familiar with the Stale’s ■ax structure. The Constitution pro- j v ides for "uniform" assessment of j taxes. Under the present revenue act axation of stock dividends is not uni otm: holders of domestic stocks are xempt, holders of foreign stocks are , axed. That the constitutionality of he tax has never been questioned m he courts i.-> explained by the fact hat, under the Constitution, holedrs if stock certificates are required to list such stocks for ad valorem taxes whether or not such stocks pay «ny tividends. It is almost unanimously igreed that such a tax is confisca ot y and therefore wholly tin just if fa- , ilc. Because of that stockholders do not list their .stocks. Whenever some holder of foreign stocks has corn ua lined of the State’s six per cent levy lie has been told that the State will not collect the levy if the holder viTT list his stocks for the ad valorem levy (a much higher tax). That state ment has always brought the protest rs to terms. Those who have studied the tax vit iation are almost unanimously agreed hat classification of all property is he natural solution of the stock div- ) dend and stock tax muddle as well as of tlte problems of .bank deposit taxation. An amendment to the Con • titution would i>e required to classify , iropeity at varying rates for the tax assessment purposes. Such an amend nent has been offered the electorate everal times, always to be met wit it ( lefeat at the polls. Many believe that the new levy on domestic stocks will cause several iomestic corporations to dissolve, [’here is little doubt but that that vili be the case in many closely-own •d cot pot ations, where the stock is ! iwned by a single family or by only ) i few persons. It is indicated that Dr. McDonald aid other anti-sales taxers will, when he n w tax is reached by the lower house, attempt to strike out the $400,- 000 exception in the case of foreign stock (dividends. He ia> opposed o the treatment of domestic dividends as normal income. It is said, however, thath any other treatment would be unconstitutional. It is also plainly evident that a great drive will .be made to strike com pletelv out of the revenue bill the j ii“w six per cent levy on domestic dividens. The final outcome is a mat ter for speculation. 1855 Fercival I-iowell .the famed as- j tronomer who established Lowell Ob .-eivatory in 1894, brother to Harvard’s ' ex-president, botn in Boston.

T often wonder if there’s a woman in this world who is satisfied.” “I’ll admit you haven't met quite all of them. Now about this gypsy, what if you did put her on Broad way? She can dance tike a whizz’” "1 suppose you think she and Louise would get along together?” “Are you going to marry Louise or something?" "No. She is a lovely thing—the gypsy, I mean, but then it’s best to leave her back in the gypsy camp and let iter marry her gypsy man. Take her to New York and you’d spoil her. Why she'd want every thing she saw.” “Yes, I imagine she usually gets what she wants, too,” Doug said meaningly. “In fact.

There was only one idea now in her brain. She must get back! She cot Id not take this revenge. She j must go to him! She was his, had i been bis, always would be his! Ah. let him beat her, let him beat her now!

She had been angry with him. He bad dared refuse her. Now she forgot that. He was a friend and she clung to him and buried her lace against his coat. Where is this girl, my daughter? Where is this bad one to have done a thing like that to me. her father? “Why, gypsy girl, what’s the mat ter?" Blackmire was glad of the darkness of the vestibule. “I must go back! Will this train never stop?” she sobbed. “ft's your first time on a train, isn’t it? You poor kid. Come on back with ns for a while.
