COORDINATION
OF TAXATION
Presidential Address De
livered Before National Tax
Association
♦
St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 22.—Rev
enue Commissioner A. J. Max
well, of North Carolina, in his
presidential address here call
ed on the National Tax associa
tion to formulate and sponsor a.
program for improving the co
ordination of federal, state and
local taxation.
“With the national income
trending in the direction of a
hundred billion dollars, two and
a half times as much as nine
years ago,” Maxwell said, “many
states are complaining that the
new federal taxes will seriously
reduce state revenue, while oth
er states are experiencing a large
increase in revenue.”
He pointed out that the asso
PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO, N. C.
ciation had brought increased sta
bilization of inheritance taxation,
and asked, “Can we not make
some other definite contribution, ,
as an objective of the association,
to smooth out inequalities, insert ‘
a few ball bearings, or at least
apply a little axle grease to make
the lead pull easier?”
Much Accomplished
“While the National Tax asso
ciation has been most helpful in
the educational field,” Maxwell:
said, “it has important specific
achievements to its credit.
“The association in 1920 spon
sored a specific plan of state and
local taxation that had a pro
nounced and wholesome effect in
many states. The association
sopnsored and won the fight for
the 80 per cent credit of the fed
eral estates tax in 1926. This
largely stabilized inheritance tax
ation in all the states and closed
the door,of fax avoidance through
the co-operation of states that
sought to lure wealth by tax ex
emption.
“Some day some inquisitive
mind, searching through the rec
ord of its proceedings, is going
to ask why the association, after
its brilliant success in this out
, standing achievement, tired of its
labors while there were other
‘ equally important fields of un
uniformity and inequality and
avoidance to conquer.
Committee At Work
“An able committee of the tax
association, in co-operation with
a like committee of the American
, Bar association, is engaged in a
thorough study of this problem.
I apprehend that the greatest
difficulty encountered will not
be ini finding something practical
t that can be done, but in finding
{ so much that needs to be done
. that it will be discouraging to
undertake it at all.”.

Have You Seen
Suppressed Desire?
If you’ve ever wondered what
j a suppressed desire looks like,
you’ll find out when you see “Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” starring
Spencer Tracy, Ingrid Bergman
and Lana Turner at the Palace
Theatre, Thursday and Friday.
Foreign films have frequently
adopted the surrealist method to
depict mental processes on the
screen, but the method was rare
ly .used in America prior to “Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.”
During the transformation from
the stable Dr. Jekyll to the sa
distic Mr, Hyde, Director Flem
ing has utilized the montage to
graphically illustrate the mental
transition. The human eye, hors
es, tigers, flowers and beautiful
girls are all tossed together in
a manner heretofore only seen in
surrealist paintings. Surrealist
symbols are used to show how
the sub-conscious suppressed de
sires of Dr. Jekyll take over and
dominate his conscious mind as
Mr. Hyde.

CHROMITE FROM
DEMOCRAT GOES
INTO WARPICTURE
Chrome Ore Mined In
Western Part Os State Is
Vital To War Industry
Democrat, Oct. 22. Mining
here of chromite, the ore of
chrome that is vital to war in
dustry, is bringing this tiny North
Carolina mountain village into
a place in the “arsenal of de
mocracy” beyond the imagining
of those who established it as a
fourth class post office near
Asheville.
Announcement of the nazi trade
for Turkish ore that is now go
ing to Britain pushed Democrat
right out into the war industries
spotlight.
Democrat is too small to ap
pear on the map and being an
unincorporated village is ignor
ed by most census tables, but
hard by its frame post office and
general) store, with the name
Democrat, N. C., almost weath
erbeaten into illegibility, chrome
ore is being recovered from the
red. clay hills in commercial
quantities.
Operations began . last spring
in a remote section to which a
road -had to be constructed for
trucks to bring out the chromite,
which is washed out of the moun
tain side by hydraulic pressure
and recovered by a concentration
process.
Extent of the operation, which
is promoted by C. .E. Klinger,
veteran mining promoter with
world-wide experience, is a close
ly guarded secret, but villagers
have observed truck loads of the
black chrome concentrate pass
ing en route to the railroad for
shipment to northern steel plants.
As long as war or economic
pacts cut off imports of chromite
from its principal sources in Tu; -
key and Africa domestic produc
tion will be profitable. Klinger
said.
Technical advisor for the min
ing operations at Democrat is
Marshall Gravctt. who has spent
more than a quarter of a century
working various kinds of min
eral deposits in western North
Carolina.
Chromite appears as pockets
in olivine, of which huge quan
tities are in the North Carolina
mountains.
