CITY TUB URGEH
While Federal Taxes Have
Shown Decrease in Re
cent Years, Other Taxes
Are Oh Increase. '
Washington, Sept. 2.—C4*>—Reduc
tion of federal taxes last year was
accompanied by a continued increase
in state, county and local taxes, a
survey conducted cy Washington head
quarters of the National Grange
showed the total paid under llip latter
assessments was approximately 50 per
eent. greater than the federal tax
bill.
Results of the survey announced
today show that state taxes alone in
creased from a total of $858,155,000
in 1922 as reported by the census bu
reau to $879,724,000 in 1924 on the
basis of incomplete returns. It was
figured that complete returns were al
most certain to place the figures above
$900,000,000.
DROUGHT IS DAMAGING
HIGHWAYS IN VIRGINIA
Top Soil Pulverized Into Dust, Being
Blown Away—Cities Face Acute
Water Shortage.
Danville, Va., Sept. I.—Damage
estimated at thousand of dollars is
being done to state highways in this
section as result of the continued
dry weather. The comparatively new
state highway running from Martins
ville to Stuart and considered last
year as one of the best wirt roads
in the state has suffered seriously by
the ptilversizing of the top soil by
passing traffic afld the blowing
away ofthe dust baring the tounda
tiom stones ofthe road in many
places.
Water shortage is general in Pat
rick county where wells are running
dry, canning a serious situation
among people who save no other
water supply- At Stuart and Mar
tinsville water for domestic purposes
is scarce and it is a point of
honor among the people of the com
: munities to take one week and to
make other sacrifices to save the sup
ply.
At Stuart the street lights are
; cut off at nine o’clock. Garage own
ers and service station proprietors
have suffered pecuniary losses
i through being prohibited to use water
i for washing automobiles.

RAILROAD MATTERS
GWEN ATTENTION
BY THE PRESIDENT
Senator Watson, of Indi
ana, Calls at the Summer
White House to Discuss
Several Questions.
PRESENTPLANS
CAN BE AIDED
Chief Executive Said to
Feel Changes to , Law
May Be Benefit to Roads
and the Public.
Swampscott, Sept. 2. UP) —Railroad
situation received the attention of
President Coolidge today, Senator
Watson, of Indiana, ranking republi
can on the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee having been invited here tot
discuss with him particularly the leg
islative effects of the problem.
The transportation question is one ,
which - President Coolidge is studying
with especial care because of the de
mand from some quarters for radical
amendment of the Each-Cummins law,
and the Van Stveringen merger w! icb
now is hanging fire.
Mr. Coolidge has that
benefit might be gained both to the
railroads and publicity some modifica
tion of the transportation act, but lie
is not willing to go as far as some
members of Congress are demanding.
As for consolidation, he believes that
voluntary grouping of roads could ob
viate the need of compulsory legisla
tion and result in a network of rail
road lines much stronger than the na
tion's present transportation system.
Win Seek Consolidation Law.
Swampscott, Mass., Sept 2.— UP) —
Legislation to force railroad consoli
dation after a period of seven years
will he sought by the administration
in the next session of Congress.

net to this effect was agreed u|K>n to
day at a conference between Presi
dent Coolidge and Senator Watson,
republican, of Indiana, assistant lead
er of the senate, and chairman of the
Senate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee.
Senator Watson agreed with the
President thnt approval dis the Van
Hweringen consolidation sih'rme now
pending before the Interstate Com
merce Commission would clear the
way for numerous voluntary consoli
dations.

TO EFFECTS OF I
INCOHEJAX DATA
Inquiry by a Newspaper
Shows That Publication
of Taxes Has Had No
Beneficial Results.
New Y’ork, Sept. 2.— UP ) —The ef
fect of publication of income tax pay- i
ments was being generally discussed .
tml ay as millions noted .In newspapers
tlie tuxes on President Coolidge, in- i
dnstrial magnates, movie stars, base- i
ball players, neighbors, and so on. i
As a result of a questionnaire sub
mitted to 00 collectors of Internal
Revenue in principal centers of the :
country the New Y'ork Times con
cludes it is their general opinion that
publication of taxes has had no bene
ficial effects. There has been no in
crease of revenue from delinquents
who might fail to file returns if pub
lication of payment were prohibited.
Some of the collectors, think the
publication of payments results only
in additional expense to the govern
jnent without direct returns. One col
lector wires that publication causes
erroneous opinions to be formed re
flecting on the integrity of honest citi
zens.
BEARS BECOME PLENTIFUL
IN MOUNTAINS AT MONTREAT !
Believed to Have Come Down Be
cause of Dearth of Water at High
er Altitudes.
Montreal, Sept. I.—The natives
are very much interested in the evi
dence of the presence of bears in j
Montreat. A neighbor, n few nights!
ago. heard a shuffling noise in her I
porch in the early morning. Next
morning she investigated and found
in the sand, before her steps, well-1
defined prints of a bear’s foot. She
called the attention of her neigh-j
bors to it and many people have
been to see the bear tracks. It is
thought, ns it is so extremely dry
up in the mountains, the bears
come down to get water. No alarm
is felt over them, as they are of a
small blnck boar family that is
never known to be ferocious.
To give some idea of the extent of
the drought. Flat creek, Montreat's
main stream is running lower than
ever known. The leaves of the
rhododendron, back from the water
courses, are curling up and turning
brown. The forest trees seem to hold
their own pretty well, they are more
deeply rooted.
ASHEVILLE’S WATER
SITUATION IMPROVING ,
Officials Expect That Supply Will
Be Adequate Today For AU Neces
sary Requirements.
Asheville, Sept. I.—City officials
today expressed the belief that by
tomorrow they will have the water
situation well in hand and with con
servation, continued will be able to
supply all necessary requirements.
Water front the Asheville school
lake was pumped into the city mains
last evening adding 500,000 gallons j
to the daily supply. The north fork j
of the Ewannanoa river supply will |
be cut into the mains tomorrow be
fore daybreak, F. L. Conder, com
missioner of public works said today,
and it is hoped to have another
i branch on Bee Tree cut at the same
i time.
A heavy rain barely missed the Bee
Tree watershed last night. A down
pour occurred just below the intake
and a slight sprinkle fell on the
watershed. There was no rnin on the
north fork watershed. The creeks are
reported to be bolding their own.

tion of the crop in the 12 leading

ten year average of 63.0 per cent-
I This deteriotion during the month of

| less than the ten year average which
i is nine points. A large crop is, there
fore, indicated on the basis of
August condition than on the out
look a month ago. The prospective
crop of the 12 leading states is now
placed at 13.340,213 bales as one
month ago of 12.579.576 bales.
The improvement of 460,337 bales
is due in large part to Helpful rains
in the north central and south
western ’ port ions of the belt. De
terioration in South Carolina had
particularly Georgia during the past
30 days has been substantial.
Further Curtailment Unless There Is
Rain.

Public Utilities Company has issued
| a formal appeal to all consumers of
’ electrical current in this district to
aid in the curtailment program
. which took effect here phis morning
and will last until that hour Wednes
; ■ day morning.
• 1 It is also announced that unless
rains descend in the next week the
Southern Power Company will in
augurate a two days a week curtail
ment. Ail expression from the power
officials today, however, was to the
effect that if every concern co-operated
j with the one day a week curtailment
program it migrt not be necessary to
J begin a more drastic one.
This curtailment does not apply
to homes and smaller industries.
Electricians Foreswear Swearing.
New Y'ork, Sept. 2.—Tests carried
bers who swear are to be considered
as scabs by the Montreal branch of
the Canadian Union of Electricians
and Helpers. Cursing on a contrary
job arc doomed.
“No cursing while on the job. or
elsewhere, for that matter,” is the
spirit of a resolution adopted by the
union here, largely attended by line
men of the Montreal Light, Heat and
Power Company. The resolution was
forwarded to the corporation, urging
that the latter enforce a similar
■ pledge among all its employees, num
bering over 2,000.
’ It was stated that an infraction of
• the pledge by any member of the un
ion .would be ’“appropriately dealt
' with.”
