nttTH REAL ESTATE
IS UNDER-ASSESSED
8 Asserts A. J. Maxwell hi a
- AUaaU Today. '
(Br TW tiiHiM ha)
Atlanta, Nor. IX Modi rati estate
la North Carolina la wider-assessed
sad at Wat 6,000,000 acres this year
will yield a net profit la excess of its
assessed value, according to A J. Max
well, clerk of tbe Corporation Com
mission of that State, who delivered
an addreas before tbe eleventh annual
conference of the National Tax Asso
ciation here today.
The North Carolina Tax Commis
sion two years ago undertook a state
wwo equalisation of real estate as be
tween counties but because of a lack
of proper .administrative machinery it
waa only partly successful, Mr. Max
well said. In his opinion only the State
General Assembly can Improve condi
tions and be suggested legislation re
quiring the assessment of all proper
ty either at Its full value or at a defi
nite percentage of that value. In no
other way wUl equality between tax
payers be obtained, he said. The
speaker also suggested more recogni
tion of the work done by local officials.
especially assessors, and tbe placing
of those officers on a permanent basis
at increased salaries.
Speaking In general. Mr. Maxwell
suggested to-the members of the Asso
ciation, for their future consideration
and discussion, the advisability of tax
ing toe unearned increases In real es
tate which la taking place steadily
where the demand tor real estate is
continually increasing. This, however,
was a matter ior tne ruture, he said,
the Important consideration at this
time being proper administrative ma
chinery by which any system of taxa
tion must oe measured.

CAKES AND CRACKERS
AO Bakeries, Including Hotels, Restau

Washington. Nov. 12. All bakeries
in the United States, Including those of
noteis restaurants ana clubs, and ex
cepting only the small maker of bread.
wno uses less than 10 barrels of flour
per month, are required to come under
federal licenses after December 10 by
a proclamation Issued tonight by Presi
dent Wilson.
All "persons, firms, corporations and
associations, who manufacture for sale
bread In any form, cake, crackers, bis
cuits, pastry or other baked products."
are directed to take out licenses, which
will subject them to rigid regulations
now being drafted by the food admin
istration. Thus the great manufacturers of
cakes and crackers sold throughout
the world will be affected In company
with the bakeries which sell their
products In the city of their location.
Under its regulations the administra
tion will standarlse bread making and
Administrator Hoover expects to force
prices for pound loaves downward,
probably to seven or eight cents. Fancy
breads are to beeHhiatd, 1 tcs are
to be in one, ande and a naif, two and
four pound sises, and the sugar con
tent Is to be cut down from six to three
pounds per barrel of flour. .

in favor of sending one dollar or a
scrap of food to any country that is a
