WHY BUILD
AT PEAK PRICES
The corporate limits of
the Town of Warrenton
eventually will have to be
extended. Town officials
recognize this fact and
while believing that it
should be done, say on account
of the present depressive
state of business that
" ' A- U?
action win nave tu uc ucferred
as the extension limits
will mean the extension
of water and sewer lines.
If the economic depression
is the only reason that
this important matter should
be deferred, we believe that
the authorities are not taking
the long-sighted view
of the matter in such postponement.
The erection of
Hotel Warren, which we
favored, should be a lesson
in development at peak
prices.
We believe that economists
will agree that prices in
many commodities have, hit
the bottom and that in the
course of a few months,
prices will begin to rise. If
that is true, then water and ,
sewer lines can now be. ex- '
tended at the lowest possible
cost.
We do not believe that
the town would have any

necessary for this work. The
property brought into town
by the extension would pay
for the work in a few years,
the use of water would be
increased, thereby swelling
the revenue of the town, and
the sanitary conditions of
the city improved. In addition
the cost of the hotel
would be spread over more
property and the burden of
this plant thereby reduced.
If this work is now undertaken
by the town,
many persons would be
given employment, relieving
to some extent a bad situa"rTr

the spending of necessary
funds would help to stimulate
business life of the ;
town.
We may have the wrong
idea about economics, but '
we feel that governmental
agencies should act as giant
stabilizers. When business
is good, only absolutely
necessary work should be
done. In times of depression
these agencies should
carry on their programs of
expansions, turning loose
stored up money and providing
jobs to take care of
slack in business. This policy
would not only mean
less suffering in times of depression,
but would also
mean that this work would
be done at a lower cost and
a tremendous savings in
taxes affected.
If the corporate limits of
the town of Warrenton are
to be extended, a special act
of the legislature will be
necessary. This body is now
in session. If action is not

taken now, it will mean a
two-year delay. We would
like for our citizens to talk
this matter over with members
of the board of town
commissioners and, if they
judge best, an important
piece of constructive work
can be done at this time.
SHOULD TAX
OTHER FELLOW
Letters coming to this
office on almost every mail
request that this newspaper
or its editor protest to the
legislature against proposed
tax shifts in an effort to
lighten the burden on real
estate. One day it is the
merchants association asking
that the sales tax be not
enacted; another it is office
supply men telling of the
damage that a tax on typewriters
and adding machines
will do to their business.
Others are writing that tax
on tobacco may drive large
companies from the State,
and that a tax on electric
energy will be passed on to
manufacturers and thereby
injure the business life of
the State.
While the protests are
not put like this, the whole
refrain can be summed:
"We are highly in favor of
reducing the tax on real estate,
we admit that it is
bearing more than its just
share of taxes. Tax anything
else, just so you don't
tax us." Seemingly they

been found whereby one
may eat his cake and have
it too.
Citizens must bear in
mind that any kind of tax is
going to be burdensome,
but that the work of the
government must be carried
on. If necessity forces taxes
on a certain industry in
order to lighten the tax on
land, it will have to be
borne. Real estate has been
imposed upon long enough.
Products of large companies
making great profits should
be taxed. We don't believe
that a reasonable tax will
seriously impair them. If it
does, it will be no more thar
the damage that the higl
taxes have caused to rea

American Girl Says
Prince of Wales Is
Most Charming
PANAMA CITY, Feb. 10.?Miss
Eleanor Nichols, an American girl,
last night captivated the Prince of
Wales at a dance given in his honor
at the Union Club. She thinks his
royal highness "is one of the most
j charming men I have ever met,"
l but considers Prince George a better
dancer.
| Miss Nichols, who is the daughter
i of Commander Newton Lord Nichols,
in charge of the Balboa Naval
Radio station, was the center of interest
in Panama City and Balboa
today, for the Prince of Wales gave
her his undivided attention as they
| danced beneath a tropic moon shining
over the Bay of Panama.
! She had hardly returned home
from the dance with her farther
and mother when the telephone bell
'and door hell began to ring?and
1 they have been ringing ever since.
Bewildered by Flurry
Droves of press photographers
went out to the home, and London

graphs. She had to have new photographs
made, for the only one at
the Nichols home was a portrait
' made five years ago.

Prince last night as did he, the
attentions showered upon her today
were slightly bewildering.
?Tf c orw ciiiv" she commented.
AV 0 BV ?? ? ? ?
"Why, the Prince of Wales has
danced with hundreds of girls before.
"But I think that he's one of the
most charming men I ever met. He
isn't a bit offish. He talks slang,
and one never would think, just by
meeting and talking with him, that
he is anything but Just one of the
nicest young men imaginable."
During his conversation with Miss
Nichols the prince practiced some
of the Spanish he learned in preparation
for his South American
trip.
"He speaks Spanish rather slowly,"
the girl continued, "but I can understand
him much better than the
people here who rattle it off so fast."
As to the dancing:
"He's an awfully nice dancer, but
I believe Prince George is the better
of the two. He doesn't have as
much to say, though."
Miss Nichols was seated with her
parents last night when one of the
royal equerries came over and invited
her to sit at the table occupied
by the prince. She was presented
to Prince George, who danced with
her.
Hardly had she sat down again
when the Prince of Wales walked
over and asked for the next dance?
"without sending a messenger or
anything"?was the way the delighted
girl put it.
Equally charmed with his royal
highness were Miss Nichols's par=
