EXEMPT INCOME REPOR'I
The Federal Trade Commission re
ceritly submitted to the Senate a re
port of taxation nnd tax-exempt in
come.
The report show the ;■mount of tax
exempt securities now outstanding;
estimates the amounts held by cor
*■
porations and individuals and the
taxes which might lie cuHettol fron-.
them, if they were taxable; shows the
ir.crcsises of indebtedness, national,
state and local, ami the purposes for
which incurred; gives the aggregate
tax burdens, national. =tate anr local:
and consolers where the heaviest bur
dens lie.
The total umount of tax-exempt se
curities outstanding on iJecember 31,
192*2. was about s32,ooo.(H*i,ooii ami
consists of nearly Jl2. ( ioo.Wi | i,'> | o
of wholly tax-free and over I'JO.m* 1 .-
(•00.(MM) of siirtaxable securities. Of
the wholly tax-free obligations, J2.-
294,000,JKi were federal and
were state and local
Toe general taxpayer must make up
s to 'he government the amount- which
. t
it loses through inability to tax the
income from these billions and future
issues of tax-exempt bonds.

(Burlington News)
The sight of a man, his wife, ami
five tiny tots apparently in the worsl
circumstance-, was too much for W.
H. Morton, a cotton mill man here,
who followed air impulse to approach
the family moving east along th«
tracks of the Southern Railway.
In the arms of both the father and

mother huddled little bits of human-1
ity too fragile to trudge their way. j
Clinging to the other arm of each
were other little folk*, travel-worn J
and hungry-
Mr. Morton was told by the hw
bar.d that he had l?ft Siler City in
search for work. He expected to fir.d
it in the textile mills here, bu: found
them in roost part idle, with a great .
surplus of labor waiting for the ful!
time resupmfion of their means «* j
livelihood.
To the ijuestion. "Where are you
, I going?" 'he man replied: "To Dur
ham.** And the trip was to ».e mx» ie
over the weary stretch of cross ties j
that are almost in countless thoo (
sands lietween here and there lie
viewed the look of "lost hope" on
•he faces, then asked. "Have you had
anything to eat?" They had not.
Soon the unfortunate family wa
rded in a cafe for the first meal »'
a long ilav. According to informa
tion gat here. I from a source otr,?r
than Mr M >rton, he Mien loaded their
in his car and carried thc»m to Hills

There he gave the story to the
chief of |>oiice. who asstffred him he
would find them lodging for the
night, and would see to it thct they
would hot have to walk on their jour
i.ey to Ihirham.
Although the teeth of poverty ha-,
gnawed to the core, this man. with a
loyal wife, did not -eek out the great
motor traffic lanes, where a life nigh*
ea.-ily have been had. Some park
that few go on foot, where the mis
ry of each step might b" endured as
their own. the pangs of hunger -üb
.•'ued, ami the whines of littl« > tots

According to this man, many tex
