State Revenue Is Up
Million During August
North Carolina's revenue from
all sources was up $1,088,107 in
August of this year, as compared
to August, 1944, the state depart
ment of revenue has reported.
However, the report pointed
out that for the two months-of
the. fiscal year, collections were
up only $342,098 as compared to
the same period in 1943.
All revenue sources reported
14,465,589 for July and August,
1944, as compared with $14,123,
491 for the two months of last
year.
The gasoline division showed a
decrease of $181,748 for August, -1944,
as compared with tha same
month last year, while the motor
vehicle department's license -cnue
decreased $27,882 for th

DECREASE IN SUGAR
SUPPLY PREDICTED
r' ' ' "
The agriculture department has '
predicted , that -supplie of . aogar
'will be smaller next year. The
report held out little hope for
elimination of rationing until the n
war with Japan has been won.
Supplies available to this coun
try and to the other united nations
'nill be lower, the report said, be- -cause
of prospects for a smaller
crop in Cuba, reduced stocks in
Lith producing and consuming
areas, and. the necessity of divert
ing considerable amounts of raw
sugar into alcohol for synthetic
rubber.
Defeat of Japan would relieve
shortages in two ways. It would
n:ake Philippine 'and ' Java : sup
plies available again and it would
also give the united nations access
to far eastern supplies of raw
rubber.

Rate of Increase
Is Tapering Off
National income reached a new
high annual rate of $158 billion
and national production a new
high, annual rate of $196 billion
in the first half of 1944, the com
merce department has reported.
While reaching new heights,
however, expansion of both in
come and produciton in the first
six months of 1944 ns at slack
ened rates, the department said,
the -three, per cent' increase in
pros national production over the
fnal- half of 1943 representing
only about ono-fourth of the av
erage half-yearly increase record
ed since 1941.
Attainment of peak production
for the war period was reflected
in the new figures, ' the depart
ment said.' v '.';.'- ...i-v;
' It predicted that if military op
ex ations continue on both fronts
throughout 1944, national income
and production for the entire year
will be essentially the same a
the annual' rate for the first six
months. Oi) the other hand, end
of the European war would lead
to a downturn of economic activi
ty, the extent of which would de
pend upon ability to deal with de
mobilization problems. ' ' .
Slackening of the rate of expan
sion in production, the department
aid, was paralleled closely , by
the movement of government war
purchases. The annual rate of
fuch government purchases, which
:eaohed $36 billies 1 t" frst
half of 1944, represented an in- -crease
of only three per cent ov
er the last half of 1943. There '
were much larger increases in
previous periods. ,
The tendency, toward stability,
the department said, is shown al
so in .the changing ratio of war
outlays to total ' production,
amounting to 44 per cent for the
fast half of 1944, only one point.;
bove the ratio reached in tha first '
half of 1943 after a series of aafft
increases. -v.-'.: ;.''? "':'
Payments to members of . the
armed forces and their ' depend- "
ents, the department said, were -,
the most important single factor'
in raising income payments to
individuals to new heights. N.et V
incomes to farm operators also
contributed, resuming, though at "
a slackened rate, an expansion
which was interrupted in the last
half of 1943.
Manufacturing pay rolls, on tha
other hand, were virtually stable,,
tiifferlng markedly from the ear
ikr war. period when manufactur
ing pay rolls, were .the most im
portant single element in the rise
in incomes.' : . , . , , .
