Page 4 THE WAYNESVTLLE MOUNTAINEER THURSDAY SUGGESTED TAX 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.

(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 Newell . 243 DePriest 10 Lieutenant Governor Graham ........2044 Giles .....1404 Dellinerer ...1074 Secretary of State Wade 2068 Hartness ......2094 Auditor Durham .,.1889 Bell .....1834 Adams - 279 Attorney General Brummitt ....2940 McSwain -1962 Commissioner of Labo Norton 3M34 All Others .......2279 Coneressman 373 t'15 . 4822 Giikey Weaver ... .., State Senate (Republican) Overton .... .

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.
