C, under Act of March 31870 The Other Side of the Coin (The Asheville Citizen) That an extensive public project brings li abilities no less than assets with it is strikingly illustrated by some figures recently released by the North Carolina Board of Assessments and dealing with the payments made by the Tennessee Valley Authority in lieu of state and local taxes. Being a federal agency, the TVA pays no state and local taxes as such but recognizing the losses which communities suffer by virtue of its tax-exempt character, it does make cer tain voluntary payments in lieu of actual taxes. The sum allotted by the Tennessee Valley Authority for the benefit of the state and of the counties in which it has large investments a mounted to $128,171.29 for the year 1943-44. Allotting $38,451.39 to the state for account of franchise and income taxes, the Board of As sessments parcelled the remaining $89,719.90 to two townships in Cherokee County and to Clay, Graham, Swain and Cherokee counties. Viewed by itself, $128,171.29 is a tidy sum of money which no prudent state will sniff at. It can finance many beneficient activities of the respective governments. We are confident that all of the counties are duly grateful for the amounts which they receive. But what TVA's tax liabilities in North Caro lina be if it were a private enterprise and were subject to the taxes which private businesses must pay? The State Board of Assessments estimates that the TVA owns property in North Carolina that has a book value of approximately $60,000,000. It further computes that if the Authority paid all local taxes on its North Caro lina investments, it would be liable for ap proximately a million dollars instead of the $89,719.90 which was assigned to the four coun ties. To illustrate in more detail: Graham county would receive $193,880.10 instead of the $16,990.39 actually allotted to it. The Tennessee Valley Authority is a high ly useful activity of the National government. It has brought many very real and very val uable benefits to the communties which it em braces and serves. But in measuring its useful ness, sight should not be lost of its tax-free status. Offsetting its advantages is the hard fact that it does not, like private enterprise, make its due contribution to the costs of local government.

TVs jg ; OUR DEMOCRACY- byMat MISS CLARA BAILEY, soprano. who will be presented in a recital on Monday evening at Flora Mac- donald College. Miss Bailey is pro lessor of voice in the school of music at the college. The recital will be gin at 8:15 p. m. ,i j Women war workers are not all at shipyards or plane plants; Marie Aldrich and Dolly Ash, feminine welders, are working in a Texas machine shop building mechanical harvesters for cotton, "The Nation's No. 1 War Crop." Harvesting S to 8 bales a day, at savings estimated by farmers at $25 per bale or more as compared with hand methods, such machines are help ing to solve wartime labor problems and to insure the postwar future of the Cotton Belt's most valuable crop. Homemade "sleds" and "strippers," converted grain combines, and a limited number of commercial pickers will harvest thonsands of acres of rtton in 1945, and leading implement manufacturers have successful harvesters ready for postwar production. Combined with mechanical cot ton choppers, flame cultivators and other new implements, these ma chines are revolutionizing the production of the crop which brought grow er! one and one-half billion dollar revenue from its lint and seed in 1944. POOLE'S MEDLEY It is possible the victors in this war, may fall out over the peace terms. One thing America did in her last wars, I hope it will not do again, and that is take on more territory. Our safety can be more easily guarded if we stay on the continent of America. Our good neighbor policy is the right spirit, and will do much toward preventing spats and quarrels. O ; William T. Caviness Dies In Scotland Funeral services for William The rin Caviness, 56, who died in Laurel Hill after an eight months illness, were conducted last Wednesday after noon in the Laurel Hill Methodist church by the pastor, the Rev. J. W. Dimmette, with burial in King's cemetery. The deceased was a son of the late William Caviness and Mrs. Sally Pate Caviness. He is sur vived by his widow, the former Miss Docia Hyatt; four daughters, one of which is Mrs. Heston Rose, and three grandchildren. (By D. Scott Poole) According to George Rothwell Brown, columnist, President Roose velt has found a way to finance the Breton Woods bill to the extent of $5.925,000,000 five billion, nine hundred and twenty five million dollars without going to Congress for one cent of it. "The Administration's Breton Woods bill now before the Senate and House to set up an international monetary fund and an international bank by pass?s Congress complete ly. If the administration can get away with it. "The American contribution of two billion, seven hundred and fifty mil lion dollars are to be made to the bank by transferring one billion, eight hundred million dollars from unexpendei "profits" of the gold stablization fund, and the balance from the sale of securities under the Second Se ond Liberty Loan Act."

ANSWER: Press as you sew." says Extension home economists at State College. "Success or failure in making a garment often depends on the way it is pressed during the making as well as after completion. Press seams immediately after stitch ing, rather than after dress is com pleted. Press all seams up from bottom and in towards center of the garment. Press darts on light fab rics to one side, either up or towards center. On heavy fabrics, slash darts and press open. Lift gathers while working point of iron into them." QUESTION: Should peanut seed be treated? ANSWER: Yes. says Howard Gar riss, Extension plant patholigist at State College. He recommends A rasan or, if this is not available. 2 per cen Ceresan or yellow Cuproride. Such treatment of seed before plant ing will give much better stands on the average, tests have shown. !
