Warning Against
Shaving Brushes
Bought In Japan
Raleigh. Feb. I*-. A warning
agains the use of shaving brushes
labeled ‘‘lmperial, Sterilized Japan,
332,” of which more than 35,000 have
been received in the United States
and sold or .distributed here, i s con
tained in a warning received by Dr.
Carl V. Reynolds. North Carolina
State Health Officer, from Dr.
Thomas Farran. Surgeon General and
bead of the United States Public
Health Service.
This action is the result of a case
of anthrax traced to one of such Jap
anese shaving brushes, and is designed
to prevent the spread of this disease
through their further use. No men
tion was made of Japanese manufac
tured hair brushes or tooth-brushe 3 in
Dr. Parian’s notice.
Such brushes. Dr. Parran pointed
out, have heen sold in a number of
States, frequently jn variety stores,

Luther Walter
Raising a hand in protest, Luther

Great Western Railroad, tells a

committee that his appearance is to

ment of Thomas R. Amlie to I.C.C n
not to discuss labor troubles.
try for a big increase in revenue from
soft drink taxes, and plans to get not
less than SIOO,OOO annually.
Another pick-up is looked for in
State income taxes on salaries of
Federal officials and employes, but,
of course, this will he possible only
if the Federal government finally
adopts the plan of taxing all state
sa aries and permits reciprocal levies
by the states. This seems quite
probable, however, and when (if) it
comes to pass the State expects to
get something like $75,000 to SIOO,-
000 in these income taxes.
Then there’s still another balanc
ing factor which Senator Taylor did
not mention to his committee Friday,
but which does in fact, increase
money available to meet appropria
tions. That’s the transfer of $250,-
000 heretofore appropriated for Con
federate widows pensions to the old
age assistance branch of the Social
Security program.
Inasmuch as the counties and Fed?
eral government are heavy contribu
tors to that fund, and contribute on
a matching basis, it seems obvious
that this transfer means a lot more
than appears on the surface.
y recapitulating, it seems
that there are, on the face of the
record, revenue losses of $400,000 a
year from building material exemp
tions, and $200,000 a year from the
intangibles turned back to the local
government units.
On the other hand, there have been
pick-ups of $150,000 in estimated
revenue from slot machines, and $25,-
000 annually from plugged loopholes
in income and other taxes.
The committee has yet to determine
how much re ief, if any, will be given
the railroads. Few think there is
any chance of more than a five cent
reduction in the franchise tax on
the rails, which would cut revenue
about $70,000. Os course there would
be a similar loss for every additional
five-cent cut.
All in all, it seems that the fel’.ows
who are getting so worried by appa
rent unbalancing of the budget are
working themselves into a lather all
for nothing. In due course of time
the figures will be made to look very
