I Tax Cuts Here To Save Over $30,000 | Cut Total* That In Dollars, Cents County Tax-Paver* Pay $24,150 Leas This Year And City Tax Payers $9,000 Less. Tax reductions effected this year by the rity of Shelby and the county of Cleveland will save tax-payers of the county and city a total of around 333, 150. In terms of dollars and cents that Is a considerable re duction in the budget of county and city citicens. Express in the terms of rate the! county levy was reduced seven] cents on the $100 valuation and the city levy was slashed 10 cents, but the decrease when figured out in dollars gives a better idea as to the benefit to tax-payers. How Figured The new city levy is $1.05 on the; $100 valuation. The new budge* estimates property valuation in Shelby at approximately nine mil-j lion dollars. The nine million dt-j vided by the *100 valuation and! multiplied by the 10 cents levy shows a saving to Shelby property owners of $9,000. The new county budget, figured on the same basts, estimated county property valuation at 35 1-2 million dollars. That divided into terms of $100 valuation and multiplied by seven cents, the amount of the re duction, totals $24,750 saving iO county tax-payers. The double reduction, in other words, means that the people of the city and county will have $33,- ( 750 which they had to pay in taxes last year to turn to some other need this year.

City To Discount Electric Light Bills Three Per Cent, Equivalent Of New Tax On Bills Paid By 15 f Heat Hit Weevil Grubs In Cotton Fields Of County Th« hcst wave, broken hr <howers last week after two weeks of unusually warm weather, had its good side tn that the boll weevil threat to the county cotton crop was somewhat dlmlshed. At the beginning of the heat wave, due to the warm winter and a wet spring, more boll weevil grubs were reported in cotton squares In Cleveland than ever before, and many farmers were of the opinion that the county would for the first time be hard hit by the weevil with the crop estimated to be cut around 40 percent But the heat, apparently, was too much for the grubs. Re ports over the week-end have It that many grabs were found killed by the heat. Jfuet what percentage of the grabs were killed ts not known, but it Is now believed thut weevil and grabs are no more nnmerons now than they have been sev eral years in the past. Crops Helped By Rains, But Com Crop WiB Be Off Early Com And Hay Crops Bud HU By nmafbt And Heat. Need More Bain. Cleveland county crops were help ed. or rather saved, by the rains of last week. but. numerous fanners re rtbat the showers which broke dry spelt came too late to offset the major damage don# to corn and hay crops. Barly corn and some erf the hay crops were already practically burned up" to the extent that their production will be considerably cut down. These crops, however, will not not be a total losa, the rains saving a certain percentage for salvage. "Late com and peaa may turn out pretty well due to the recent rains," Farm Agent R. W. Shoffner said today, “and the two crops may be better than expected. But It Is certain that what promised to be a good com crop for the county will be off In production due to the two weeks of extreme heat and dryness." The farm agent and others who have been across the State to Bg lelght and further east say that the central and east portions of the mate were much harder hit by the dry spell and so a result little corn, hay and garden crops will be har vested.

Hoover Declares Government Cannot Be Coerced ByMobRuleln Any Form Explains Action U,' Stopping Mob Threat Of Washington Bonna Veterans. Washington, Aug. 1—President i Hoover served notice, in reference to “the riots involving bonus March ers here, that the United States ! government “cannot be coerced by mob rule.” In a formal statement, the Chief executive said: "A challenge to the authority of the United States government has been met swiftly and firmly. “After months of patient indul gence, the government met overt lawlessness as it always must be met if the cherished processes of self-government are to be preserv ed We cannot tolerate the abuse of constitutional rights by those who would destroy all government, no matter who they may be. Govern ment cannot be coerced by mob I rule. "The Department of Justice is pressing its investigation into the violence which forced the call for army detachments, and it is my sin cere hope that those agitators who inspired Thursday’s attack upon the Federal authority may be brought speedily to trial in the civil courts. There can be no safe harbor in the United States of America for vio lence. "Order and civil tranquility are the first requisites in the great task of economic reconstruction to which our whole people now are devoting their heroic and noble energies “This national effort must hot be i retarded in even the slightest de-! gre« by organized lawlessness The first, obligation of my office is to uphold and defend the Constitution and the authority of the law. This 1 propose alwavs to do.” A ’ Way U Found To Absorb Tax Statement* Going Oat With Three Per Cent Consumer*' Tu Ad ded, But Discount Allowed. / Water and light statements matt ed out today by the City of ShW by to its consumers, carry for the first, time a reminder of another Federal las lmpoeed by the recent Congress—a three per cent tag on electric power consumed. But there la a way prowled for consumers not to hare to pay this tax on thetr monthly bills and only one way. The city had thought of absorbing this tax and thus shield ing the consumer, but according to a ruling by Gilliam Grissom, Col lector of Internal Revenue at Raleigh, the city Is not permitted to pay the tax at the point of trans fer and absorb the charge out. of plant, earnings. Allow Discount. Failing in ft* effort to t*k« nwr the oonsumers’ addition burden, the city found a way left open which 1* considered legal. The city has not heretofore allowed a discount on Us water and light bills but be ginning today It will Institute a dis count policy of three per cent or an equivalent of the three per cent federal tax In other words, the monthly statements carry the Fed eral Tax on electric power, but the discount of three per cent will be allowed when bills are paid by the 18th of the following month. Applies Only to Electricity On all bill* paid before the 16th the city wilt absorb the tax, but will not absorb the tax on bills paid after the 15th. This penalty and dis count, apply only to electric power and not to water which Is billed on the same statement There are a few Industrie; exempt ed from the tax, but In Shelby this requires little attention as the in dustries which are exempted, or most of them are textile plants which buy dtrect from the Duke Power Co It has not been learned whether this tax applies to chur ches, lodges, schools, telephone and telegram companies and the like. There are about 2,500 consumers of the water and light plant in Shelby and a small printed slip explaining the penalty and the dis count were enclosed when the state ment* were mailed today. Mayor McMurry pointed out that, this discount will reduce the reve nue of the city considerably during the year as most of the patrons pay on or before the I5th and will be entitled to the discount, thus throwing the payment of the tax to the Federal Government on to the city.
