Irvington "0ver the Top"

Irvington. Dec 81. (Special) The
Christmas membership campaign for
the Red Cross has been pushed with
.earnsstness and vigor. A large per
cent of the 1917 membership renewed
for 1918 and the number of patriots
responding to the call to enlist IN this
great civilian army, lighting to relieve
suffering humanity, will exceed the
quota for this chapter. Most of the
business houses are on the honor roll,
having all their employees enrolled as
members.
The committee thanks the workers
and the public for their generous re
Spouse.
The Red Gross thanks the farmers
for their gifts of tobacco. Those who
have not contributed to the fund are
given an opportunity to do so by put

That the new tax law will be great
success both as producer Of revenue
and an equalizer of taxes is the pre-.
diction of M. NJ. Logan, chairman of
the State Commission, in his report
to Gov, Stanley.
He thinks It is likely that the state
viii receive $2,s43,OOO in excess of its
expenditures. These estimates are
made on the basis of revenue received
this year since the tax law went into
operation July "a. The law requires
the report to be made to Gov. Stanley
to be submitted to the legislature.
Logan estimates that the amount Of
money received from new sources will
amount to $1,142,S36.24, and will come
in sums as follows: $179,147.31 from
one-tenth of per cent on bank depos.
its; 81 on each $1,000 of capital stock
of building associations, $19,351; per
cent tax on the market value Of crude
oil, $95, 1869; two cents the gallon on
whisky released, s65O,OOO; 10 cents
the barrel on beer, $51,117.72; license
tax on race tracks, $46,700; 20 per
cent mortgage recording fees, $4,000;
increase in corporation license tax,
$99,333
OF this amount all Is new tax except
the bank tax, which amounted to only
$62 ,024.55 last year. The bank depos
its reported for last year were $11,-
277,196, while for this year they were
$179,147,31O. The increased corpora.
ton license tax of from 20 cents on
the 81 900 to so cents.
Logan estimates that the loss in the
state revenue as a reduction Of the
tax rate will be more than $4,000, 900,
and says that the state has been run.
ming 100000 annually into debt. The
increased valuation. of the property,
however, will be $600,000,000, and
probably 100000, 900, so that the en-
tire increase in revenue estimates as
result of the increased value of prop
erty and income from new sources
will total $3,543,OOO; and taking from
this sum the 100000 less as re.
suit of the tax rate will leave a net
increase in revenue of $1,543,0 600.
Logan recommends that the County
Assessors be paid for additional work
on the basis of the increased value Of
property and that the County Judge
be permitted to appoint a Board of
Supervisors, one from each magis-
terial district in the county. He also
recommended that the occupation tax
be modernized and that nonresidents
be compelled to assess their own
property. He makes many other rec
concentrations which will likely be in.
corporated in bill to be submitted to
the legislature in the form of ar
amendment to the new tax law.

SAVE THESE FRUIT AND NUT
SHELLS

Investigations by chemists have
shown that pits of apricots, peaches,
prunes, olives, dates, cherries, plums
and the shells of Brazil and hickory
nuts, walnuts and butternuts, make
the best carbon for the millions of gas
masks needed by the American army.
Not only will this carbon save many
lives at the front, but consumption of
the fruits from which they come
means the utilization of perishable
foods, and collection of nuts for their
shells will also make possible the use
of their meats as food.
All pits and shells of the kind spe-
cified-none other-should be saved,
dried and turned into the nearest Red
Cross organization or such receiving
stations as may be designated.
