Commission Says Local Store Employees Aid In Gathering Hidden Taxes Roxboro has an estimated 317 “unofficial tax collectors” who indirectly are helping local, state and national governments har vest their annual revenues, the National Consumers Tax commis sion declared today. The unofficial, and generally unwilling, “tax collectors”, ac cording to the commission are the proprietors and employes in the 83 local retail stores. “There are 2,008 official tax levying and spending govern- 1 mental agencies in North Caro lina,” said Mrs. Melville Muckles tone, president of the nation-wide women’s organization. “But ev ery clerk behind a store counter is actually a tax collector, too. “In every sale, these clerks col lect fractions of hidden taxes that have increased the cost of production and distribution of the article purchased. These tax es, of necessity, must be passed on to the consumer as a part of the price. A major share of all local, state and national taxes now are hidden to the consumers who pay them this way. “However, retail merchants should not be blamed. No busi ness could possibly survive today if it attempted to absorb the mul titude of taxes to which it is subject. In consequence, every Xing of the cash register repre sents not only a sale but a tax payment.” The NCTC now has study groups in approximately 5,100 communities in 45 states in its educational campaign to expose “unnecessary consumer-penaliz ing taxes,” Mrs. Mucklestcn said. The state crusade is being led by Mrs. William T. Hannah, of Waynesville, state director and Mrs. J Talbot Johnson, of Aber deen, national committee mem ber. o Demonstration Club Notes From Home Agent By VELMA BEAM The Home Demonstration club members in Person county are concentrating their attention on the subject of kitchen improve ment, waging a war against old out-of-date equipment and its ar rangement. The kitchen has been outstand ing among the improvements to the American home during the past decade, and you need only contrast a new 1939 one with a dismal kitchen of yesterday, with its dark stained woodwork, discolored stove and sink and un handy closet space, to realize this fully. In the field of structural pro ducts alone, fcr walls, flooring and trim there is extensive choi ce. Linoleum, glass, metals, clay tile, veneers, wall boards, rub ber, cork, asphalt flooring, wall fabrics and paints are available in numerous guises. The designs of these products are modern, at tractive and practical for a kit chen workshop. These materials have a value cf adaptability to old as well as new construction. There is no more practical finish for pine floors in a kitchen or any other room than inexpen sive, easily applied, durable boil ed linseed oil. However, many housewives feel that they must use linoleum on the kitchen floor. It offers a practical finish, and is easily kept. It can be purchased in a countless variety of colors and patterns and may be used for entire walls and ceiling surfaces as well as floors. Even small sections in bright colors, cement ed to the wall between upper and lower kitchen cabinets are re markably effective. Linoleum must, however, be properly laid if it is to give good service. o SELL YOUR TOBACCO IN ROXBORO.
