Penny Wise and Pound Foolish

Hard times make every woman
look to see where she can save
money, which, Of course, is SEN
sib1e and proper if not carried
too far.
In the case Of food it would be
foolish to attempt to substitute
SaWdust for a breakfast food
because it is cheaper. Everyone
knows saWduSt has no food value
and its use would be a positive
detriment to the health.
Royal Baking Powder, which is
made from cream Of tartar, adds
only healthfu1 qualities to the
food.
The difference in cost Of a
pan Of biscuits or of cake made
with Royal Baking Powder as COM
pared with cheap alum or phos-
phate of lime powders is about one
cent, which is surely too small an
amount to warrant the risk.

Some More Tax Comparisons

Another contribution to the
list of Carolina Club Studies, a
report of the income tax for 1914,
is carried in the latest University
News Letter. This compilation,
like the important one on COM
parative tax assessments of farm
lands, is by E. S. Booth of the
Durham County Club. 1t is ex-
planned that gross incomes in
North Carolina, beyond $1.250,
from salaries, fees, trades, and
property are taxed
from one to two and a half per
cent, according to the amount of
Roanoke Rapids herald. [volume] (Roanoke Rapids, N.C.) 1914-192?, 1915-02-19

the table referred to do so report.
This state of affairs is merely
a sidelight: the injustice and in
equality of our system of taxation
bears much more heavily in
other classes of taxation than
in this income tax. An honest
assessment Of the real and per
sonal property in North Carolina
would give to the State an ample
revenue with greatly decreased
rate and the load would be lifted
from the shoulders of the small
property holder, who Is so little
able to bear it, to be borne by
the large property-holders, fer
it is among the latter class that
practically all of the under
valuation occurs.
1t is almost too late to hope
that the present legislature will
do anything toward equalizing
the burden of taxation in this
State, but their activities in this
direction, if successful would be
Of more benefit to the great
majority Of the citizen of North
Carolina than anything else.
And it. would mean nothing
else but that the State OF North
Carolina would return to the
principles of simple honesty and
Justice in taxing her citizens.

The Roanoke Valley League

In spite of some slight friction
engendered by too enthusiastic
rivalry it is going to be hard
for the baseball season Of 1918
to be more successful IN every
sense Of the word than was the
one Of 1914.
We sincerely trust the 1913
league will be successful and to
that endlt is necessary that
definite basis be agree upon and
a definite set of rules drawn up
covering firmly those points on
which 50 many differing opinions
were held last year.
For this reason the present
officers of the League, whose sue
.cessors are to be elected next
Tuesday night, are anxious that
as full and representative an at
tendance as possible be present
at the mass meeting.
This mass meeting will decide
on the officers for 1918, the mum
Der Of teams, and we suppose
ON the question of whether the
league is to be run this year on
purely amateur basis. The
interests Of the league will he
best served if all Of the four
teams Of 1914 will re-enter for
this season. A two team, or
even a three team league will
not give anything like the zest
and amusement that four evenly
matched teams will offer
Judging from the experience
OF last year and looking at the
matter purely from the stand
point Of the spectator, we hola
that the League will not adopt
too stringent rules III regard to
eligibility of players. A rule
giving each of the four teams
the privilege Of hiring, if they
feel 50 disposed, two PLAYERS,
the other seven men on the team
to be bona hde residents of the
community and paid nothing for
their services, coupled with a
rule requiring two weeks OF
actual and continuous residence on
the part of every league player
before participating in any game,
we believe, would cover the
situation fully
Two weeks of actual residence
would prevent importation of
expensive professional players
for one game, and the allowing
two paid men to each team would
give each team an equal chance
at the pennant and would insure
to the spectators fast, snappy
baseball the kind we had last
summer.
People will not come from Wei
don, Halifax and Littleton to see
the kind of amateur baseball
that would be played here with
four strictly amateur teams; in
fact, we doubt if even the people
of this community would attend
the games very long after the
novelty had worn off.

the excess.
The total revenue from this
tax in 1914 was $52, 710.4l.
This total was paid by 81 coun-
ties, in amounts ranging from
81. so in Allegheny to Sc, 90l. 40
in Mecklenburg county.

many tourists from a distapce, spent
the day in the beautiful grounds;
many spending the entire day. It 1s
estimated that upwards Of five hum

grounds on Sunday. The hatchery
near Manchester is the only one In

commodate the Iowa delegation TO

Republic. Col. Palmer is the first
man from Iowa to be honored with
the highest office in the gift OF the

EQUALIZATION BOARD WREsT
LES WITH ASSESSMENTS. 5a

The city council sitting as board
Of equalization Monday evening,
heard the protests of property own
ers, who object to the raise in their
assessments made by, the board
from the figures returned by AS
SCISSOR D. O., Chamberlin. It is as
sumed that the changes proposed by
the board were for the purpose OF
equalizing the assessments of prop
erty Of the enire city. That this
is difficult task must be recog--.
nia.d. That the board succeeded is
a matter Of serious doubt. Judging
from the protests Of the property
owners Monday night, it would seem
that the whole effort was a failure.
The Democrat prints in another
column Of this issue a list Of the
changes proposed by the board this
year. The reader may compare the
assessments appearing in this list,
