The Tax Commission Recommends

The State Tax Commission has
recently submitted a letter of re-
commentator to the Governor
in regard to Tax Reform in North
Carolina. This letter is a rather
formidable document of twelve
pages. but goes into the subject
of taxation in a very exhaustive
way and its recommendations, if
Incorporated into law, would
mark a decided advance in our
system of taxation.
Among other things, the COM
mission recommends assessment
of property at its full value, and
suggests as a means of bringing
this about, the levying by the
Legislature of the aggregate
amount of taxes to be raised, in
stead of estimating the valuation
of property from previous lists
and levying a fixed rate thereon
to bring in the amount needed.
If all property in the State were
to be listed for taxation at its
full value, the rate to produce
the required funds could, in the
opinion of the commission, be
fixed considerably lower than the
present rate of 27 2-3c.
The commission recommends
the publicity of assessments, by
to each tax payer in the
townships a printed list of the
assessments on every piece of |
property in the township. The |
recommends county
assessors, to give their whole
lime to the work of assessing

Cold weather seems unable tc

candidates in the fight, most
prominent of which is probably
Editor Britton of the News &

and denied that the charges
against present Postmaster
Briggs, republican whoes term
expires in February, were pre-
ferred by the Old Reliable CD
and j. W. Bailey. Altogeth-
er there are some interesting
Inducements of politics in the
fight for the Raleigh postmaster
ship, one of which is that the
News & Observers treatment of
Congressman Pou has been ex-
tremely deferential since the
candidacy of its editor.

EVERY woman, young or old, likes
l. the comfortable and dainty morn
ing cap and jacket which we usually
classed as dressing sacques and break
fast caps. II Is a. the beginning Of
the day that they serve their owners
best Nothing but the kimono jacket
is made with view to being put on in
this shortest possible time and no
headdress but the breakfast cap is de-
signed to make up for lack of hair
dressing These virtues OF the cap
and jacket are enough to endear them
to the average human.
But they do more than simply add
to ones comfort, for 1t is the fashion
to make the articles for the breakfast
garb OF pretty. gayly colored fabrics
or OF lowered materials and to deck
them out with laces and ribbons.
They are bright and honey" looking
and the admiration OF other members
of the household, A very pretty
breakfast cap helps to start the day
right. or such an inexpensive luxury
everyone may have number so as
to add variety to the morning toilette.
Consider the number OF fabrics one
may choose from to make the break
fast jacket. All the fine cotton
weaves lawn, dimity, organdie, null,
batiste, crepe. wolfe and challie. They
are made in all colors and in the most
beautiful of Powered patterns. They
are inexpensive and It takes only a
short length to make a jacket. Or II
something more rich is wanted there
are the light weight silks, embroidered
crepes, nets. plain and figured. and
laces. But the breakfast jacket Is
quite as pretty|i in the cheaper cotton
goods as iurthe others.

An exchange states that to
date there have been introduced
in this Congress only 20, 900 bills,
and remarks further that the
session is young yet. 1t seems
tous that the imposition of
the war tax on documents of this
nature would result in a good
deal of additional revenue for
the government and if said tax
was high enough to be restric-
tive, would also be productive of
great benefit for the country.

CAMPAIGN STARTS
 FOR BETTER MILK
Seven Arrests Are Made for Failure
 to Observe State Standards

AS a result of inspections and la bCratory examinations of milk sold or milk products handled, made by Miss Jane Rider, of the state laboratory at Tucson, seven arrests were made yes terday of merchants, milk dealers and dairymen on charges ranging from selling ice cream that did not come up to the state standard to disposing of unclean milk These cases which will come under the head of the work of the office of the state health of ficer, have been fixed for hearing be- fore Justice of the Peace Frank De Souza on August 20.
 Miss Ryder will leave shortly for Prescott where she will make inspec- tions and analysis of milk and milk products, employing the laboratory of the high school of that city for the latter purpose. Miss Rider stated last evening that the work of the state la boratory was being pushed vigorously at this time as a safeguard against typhoid fever which has been prevail ent in various sections.

hand is used The arm movement is exactly the same with both arms. They must be brought alternately, with a wide swinging motion, and fully extended, in front of the head, few inches to the side and recovered with the palm half turned backward, and a little downward until the hand is opposite the hips. The elbow is bent in order to bring the hand up out of the water without splashing in preparing for the next stroke forward. The head is kept clear of the water and the body rolled slightly with each stroke. The palm should be flat at all times with the fingers extended and joined to to get all the bearing surface possible against the water. The difficulty most women find in learning the stroke is caused solely by their mode of dressing themselves for the water. The new woman champion, Miss Fanny Durack of Aus tralia can beat all but the crack men swimmers and she makes even those hustle to beat her. Miss Durack has smashed all the records made by Miss Kellerman into smithereens, and wins all the competitions she takes
 part in so easily that there is no con- test.
 Miss Durack sWims in a light skirt less jersey, which comes half way to the knee, without sleeves or braids or useless decoration of any kind, and is snug fitting as possible, and with bare legs She ascribes her speed development to the fact that she long ago divorced herself from the heavy
 cumbersome creations, so much in
 vogue with lady swimmers, and her adoption of her present sensible and serViceable swimming suit.

 ID RAY MINERS
Exciting Game Is Finally Won by Miners When Mahoney Makes Homer Over Center Field Fence. Scoring Winning Run.
Especial to The Republican,

Special to The Republican,
 RAY, Aug. 9.-By far the most in teresting game of the season was played on the Ray diamond on Sun day, August Sth, when the Mill team was beaten by the Mines. Everybody was up on their toes from the start and it was not until the fourth inn ing that the Mill succeeded in SCOT ing the first run, Zamlock starting things by a single. Bauer following with a single, Van sacrificing and zamlock scoring on Wacobs single.
 Rare bits of sensational fielding that sent the blood tingling were pull ed off all through the game; Hester's assist in the eighth inning being worthy of special metnion, making a one hand catch of a fast bounding grounder, catching his balance and completing the play with a perfect throw to first. which got his man. Galena knocked a long fly to center field in the fifth inning which bound ed over the fence and entitled him to a home run.
 The score stood two and one in favor of the Mill up to the last half of the ninth and things began look ing very gloomy for the Miners. In the last half of the ninth, Ramage being first up 'fanned;" Arbogast tapped a two bagger and Mahoney followed with the most exciting feat of the game, literally grabbing vic tory from defeat by a smashing drive over. the fence for home run This was clean hit and the 6nly ball ever knocked over the fence at center field, a distance of about 525 feet.

 Stroke

The trudgeon was the next speed stroke developed after the relegation of the single overland. to the discard. This stroke was brought to perfection by the eX-champion, c.

But all the records from the 22O down, inclu- sive, fell before the wonderful Ha- waiian Duke KahanOmaku in the last big water meet at San Francisco.
 The trudgeon is not taught any more but a description of it will not come amiss, and may help to perfect the stroke of many who have not cared to develop either of the crawl strokes The trudgeon may be swum either with the scissor or breast stroke kick, and a kick must be made to every two strokes, that is right handed person should kick when the right hand goes over and the legs should be kept straight and together with the toes pointed when the left
