Broad Reductions On All Ne cessaries of Life In New Tariff Bill. Washington, April 7.Removal of all tariff from many articles of food and clothing; broad reduc tions in the rates of duty on all necessaries of iffe; an increase of tariff on manv luxuries; and a new income tax that would touch the pocket of every american citi zen whose net income exceeds $4,000, are the striking features of the new Democratic tariff re vision bill presented today to the house. Sugar would be free of duty in 19 1 6, the bill proposing an imme diate 25 per cent reduction . and the removal of the remaining du ty in 1916. Raw wool would be made free at once with a correspondingly heavy reduction in the tariff on all woolen goods. All these other articles are put on the tree list, namely: meats, flour, bread, boots and shoes, lumber, coat harness, saddlery, iron ore, milk and cream, pota toes, salt, swine, corn, corn meal, cotton, bagging, agricultural im plements, leather, wood pulp, Bibles, printing paper not worth more than 2 1-2 cents per pound, typewriters, sewing machines, type-setting machines, cash regis ters, steel raffs, fence wire, cot ton, ties, . nails, , hoop ' and band iron, fish, sulpher, soda, tanning materials, ascetic and sulphuric actds, borax, lumber products including broom handles, clapr boards, hubs for wheels, posts, laths, pickets, staves, shingles. These principal items are tak en from the free list and taxed. Diamonds and precious stones, furs, coal tar products 10 rjer cent; volatile oils 20 per cent; spices from one cent to two cents per pound. The new rates are estimated to reduce the customs revenue approximately $80,000,000 a year. This is expected to be made up by the income tax. Endorsed by President Wilson, che measure represents the efforts of the president and the House tariff makers to carry into effect Democratic pledpes of downward revision and of conces (fait Your fe We want our store to be your Head quarters for Hardware.

Protection to the farmer would be cut throughout by more than 50 per cent in an effort to reduce the cost of food. Protection to the steel and im plement manufacturer would in turn be cut by fully as wide a margin. Heaviest reduction fall upon food stuffs, agricultural products, woolen and cotton clothing. The free wool proposal, backed, by President Wilson and accepted by the House committee, is ex pected to provoke a severe fight within the Democratic ranks of both houses. It had not become clear today whether the Democra tic opponents of free wool and free sugar in the Senate would be able to force a compromise on one or both those provisions. The decision, to make a gradual reduction in the sugar tariff was reached by the president and the House committee after Louisiana cane growers declined to accept a compromise that would have es tablished a one cent per pound tariff for three years with free sugar in 1916. The income tax which will transfer indirect taxes levied through the tariff into a direct tax upon incomes of individual citizens and corporations, ex empts all sums below $4,000. Incomes in excess of that amount will pay one per cent tax up to $20,000, two per cent from 20 to $50,000, three per cent from 50 to $100,000, and 4 per cent above that. figure. .... ... The present corporation tax levying one per cent on corpora tion incomes acove $5,000 would be retained as part of the ineome tax. Co encourage trade with for eign countries, the bill would re verse the maximum provision of the present tariff law, The new tariff rates would be the maxi mum tariff and the present would be given authority to negotiate re ciprocity ireaties and make con cessions to countries that grant favors to American exports.

SCHAUB Doe Relief Work in the Flood-, ed Districts. An extract from a letter from one of our townsmen, Dr. O. P. Schaub, who was sent from New York to Dayton Ohio to assist in relieving the sufferers. "One cannot conceive of the damage to property and loss of life unless we were there to look over the situation. I went out on the relief train handled by the National Cash Re gister Co., composed of two pnll man cars and five express, filled with hospital supplies, water, food and clothing. We left New York Friday night and arrived in Dayton Sunday morning about seven o'clock. As the town was under Martial law we had to wait about two hours to get word to headquarters and secure a permit. It wasn't long before we had a detach of soldiers to asMet us get ting our supplies in town which was about three miles away. Autos and auto trucks were pres sed into service and we were given special military passes and detailed to various parts of the city. I was put in command of gen eral relief corps, and given a high power automobile with two militia men who stoodon the foot boara with loaded guns. 1 had the whole flood district to cover, and visit the various tern porary hospitals and relief sta- tionswbTch "were School Houses, Odd Fellow Halls, Masonic Halls, Churches and Manufacturing buildings. These places numbered about 18 to 20 and each had from 200 to 1800 people in them, there I had to make bote of number sick, and character of illness, find out what medicines and food was needed and number of nurses re quired to take care of them. There was a Motorcycle squad to follow ire and as I finished my inspection, one of them would re turn to Red Cross Headquarters for medicines etc. The people slept on blankets or straw for a while, but soon cots were provided for them. Most of the Dayton physicians were unable to assist as they had spent from two to three days in their lofts or on house tops in the rain and cold. Some were in trees 48 hours without any food or water. The children suffered most, as soon as possible we secured milk for them, while the people lived on coffee and sandwiches, which were sent jn by the carload. Now as to damage by flood. The area in Dayton covered seven square miles and put 125, 000 people out of their homes. All over this area the water aver aged 13 feet. At some of the low points the water covered the houses and as they began to break and wash away the damage-to property and life was awtul. Whenl left over 2,000 were missing and nearly 200 bodies were found. The scene at the morgue was mosf distressing, I don't knoV which was more heart rending to see one find a lost friend or rela tive or to go away without recog nizing a loved one, it was hope against hope. It was said when the levee broke the water was 15 inches deep in the street: and was swift that a man or . horse could T A nbVstancI up fa it. , vvSomifaf tlie, frame - hours which were once in the center of .j theory are now two or three miles down the river, others were wrecked completely and lumber was piled in heaps like shingles, In these piles of wreckage they arei now finding dead bodies. Qn one street within a square I counted 18 dead horses I saw one hprse. taken f ro ra a tree where it haiv lodged and remained fivey days, about 12 ft from the ground-, it was fed and if no pneumonia sets in it will be al righ except a skinned head and a fe bruises. Ijf was remarkable the philoso phical yiew some of the people toot of. the situation. The rich and poor alike got in line for their bread and clothing. f saw one man meet his wife at pneof the churches. She wae taken out of the flood unconsci ous, when he found her she warn ed Jo know what had happened. He told her mat her piano was ruined, she remarked: "That's all right it neeoed tuning any way". He then told her their home was washed across the street, she said: Oh! well, I al waysjiked the other side of the street better," There were many amusing incidents as well as tales of hardships. One man told me he stood on his dpor knobs for two days and nights holding to the top of the door; One doctor said he and wife and baby were in their attix fori four days, with only a glass and, an alcohol lamp, one morning; & flood washedin. a can of V-m Gamp 'Tork . and ' Beans; which was the sweetest morsel he ever tasted. i Railroad bridges and 'coal cars were carried about a mile down the river, big , freight cars and engines were turned over, an q box cars completely demolished The National Cash Register t i Gors factory was three miles from town, their floor space covers 38 acres, they treated us royally while there, they could well af? ford it as Mr. Patterson is many times a millionaire and unless we had had good treatment 'We could not hare done the work. fey Thursday morning we were dead tired and as a number of nurses and doctors came in, we turned over the f situation to them. t ; - - BANK OF ROXBORO, CAPITAL $25,000.00 Undivided Profits $13,500.00 Resources a quarter of one mil lion dollars.
