PROGRAM
HOW HAYWOOD VOTED
The following is the tax program
presented to the Worth Carolina Con
ference lor Social Service by Mr. A.
W. icAuster, as brief ea by the
Greensboro uady News:"
(1) Lei tax reform begin with elim
ination of war, as war and prepara
tion for war impose the major part of
the ax burden.
(2) The most important basic prin
ciple of taxation is universal contri
bution to the support of the state pro
gressively proportioned to ability to
pay. Anotner important tax princi
ple is that ot benefit received. j
(3) As far as practicable every
form of tax should be progressive or
graduated to aa equitable basis'.
(4) The income tax, the tax on
property and the business tax are
sound in principle.
M A rnnminmtion or sales tax IS
justiried to meet an emergency, andjrjavis.

should be levied on luxuries rather
than necessities.
(t) The principle of proportional
tax is Bound between counties as well
as between individuals.
(7) A taxation program that will
give land a chance to recover from
ir nresent impoverished plight is
recommended. A saneiy progressive lacon
land tax which will favor the small
farmer and home owner is recom
mended. This will hasten the recov
ery or land and agriculture and the
recovery of land and agriculture win
nasten recovery all along the line.
(8) Payment of property taxes in
monthly or quarterly installments is
recommended.
(9) Further reduction of property
tax is inevitable and increase in
franchise taxes of corporations will
be necessary in lieu of their reduced
property tax.
(10) Taxation policies should en
courage thrift, improvements and con
servation of natural resources, and
not penalize the owner of property
for handling it wisely.
(11) A more satisfactory method
of forest taxation must be worked
out even if it involves constitutional
amendment.
(12) Increased inheritance taxes
are referable to excessive income
taxes.
(13) A wav must be found to
reach intangibles.
(14i Dublicitv of assessments
recommended as the best antidote to
favoritism and inequality.
(15) Non-partisan tax machinery,
a continuing advisory tax board, and
state supervision on assessments are
recommended.
(16) Reassessment of real estate
without delay is recommended.
(17) Stockholders in ' corporations
should pay an income tax on dividends
received from' corporations both for
eign and domestic; This is no more
objectionable as double taxation than
to tax the owner of real estate on the
property and on the income derived
therefrom.
(18) Efficiency ' and economy in
government are urged. ; Consolidation
of counties is recommended and other
well considered consolidations that
are logical and constructive.
(19) Wholesale, ill-considered re
ductions of salaries might prove ex
pensive, and their ' effect upon the
gifted highly trained men and women
now serving the state should not be
overlooked.
(20) The principle of the balanced
budget is sound but should be applied
with discretion. It would be sound
public policy to plan our budgets
partially in terms of the business
cycle rather than exclusively in the
terms of one yearV
(21) Highway funds .should be
applied to the most pressing needs
of the state regardless of temporary
loss of federal aid which is not
actually needed for new road con
struction at this time.
(22) The state's taxation system
should be comprehensively read
justed by constitutional amendments,
including removal of the uniformity

Not only does canning surplus veg
etables and fruits in summer save
money in the winter and assure the
family of an adequate food supply,
but it also improves the general
htalth of the family by balancing the
diet.
"Some 250 farm women in Pitt
County have learned this important
lesson," s,ays Miss Ethel Nice, home
agent. "We have been studying foods
and nutrition in our 11 horns demon
titration clubs of this county during
the past two years and we have
found that good nutrition and can
ning go hand in hand, l.i 1931, there
were 18 canning demonstrations given
before the club women and as a re
sult, 75,258 jars of fruits and vegeta
bles were saved by canning and pre
serving. If this food was valued at
only 20 a quart, the total would
amount to $15,051.60. While this sav
ing is an important item at a time
when money is scarce, the more im
portant thing is the better health of
the farm families having a better bal
anced diet."
For two years now. Pitt farm
women have studied the value of the
different foods and the part they play
m nutrition of the body. In 1931, the
women studied cereals, vegetables and
eggs." So far this year, the studies
have centered about meats, salads
and breads. There are few club
women Who do not know the essen
tials of a good diet and how to pre
pare meals that will simply the oal
anced diet necessary to continued
good health. The women are now
purchasing pressure cookers so that
they may can surplus meats and oth
er products, These canners are sup
plied by Greenville merchants and
paid for in fresh and canned produce,
Miss Nice says.
There are 3,721 white farm families
in Pitt! County and the goal of the
home demonstration forces is to reach
each of these this season so that they
may serve a balanced diet next winter.
