Kahn Sees War Tax
Laid as a Penalty

New York. Oct. 11.-Declaring that
the revenue bill, now before Congress,
Disseminated against the industrial
states and the business classes, Otto
H. Kahn, of Kuhn, Loeb and Company.
speaking last night at a dinner of the
National Industrial Conference Board,
at the Hotel Astor, asserted that those
primarily in charge of the taxatlon
program We're influenced by sectional
and vocational partiality."
After pointing out that as a class
the farmers are exempt from the ex-
cess profit and war profit taxes. and
the income tax, Mr.. Kahn asked
whether it was conceivable that the
politicians who are so rigorous in
their watchfulness that no business
profit shall escape the tax gatherer
would not devise means to lay an ef-
fective tax If the same situation ex-
listed in a business industry"
Turning aside from this interroga-
tion mark" he continued, II will only
add that there are numerous taxes of
a tried and tested and socially just
kind-some of them applied in this
country during the Civil War and the
Spanish War-which would raise a
very large amount of revenue and yet
Some of them have been suggested to
our legislators, but they have not
found favor in their eyes.
Their nonimposition, taken to-
gether with Ine enllTS Cudi dSlSi VI
our taxation program. the burden of
which falls to an enormously prepon-
derant extent upon the mainly indus
trial states and the business classes:
not only proportionately, which. of
course, is just. but discriminating.
which is not Just, seems hardly ex-
plainable except on the. theory that
the intention of those who were pri-
marily in charge of framing that pro-
gram was punitive and corrective, and
that they were fiuenced-though ]
am willing to believe unconsciously-
by sectional and vocational partial
ity"

COMPENSATION
DECISIONS GIVEN
Half a Dozen Problems Set
tied by Board; Steelton !.
Case Is Finally Decided

A woman engaged as an assistant
matron at a boarding school and
injured by falling from. a porch
where a light was not burning as
usual is entitled to compensation
according to a decision by the State
Compensation Board in the claim
of Sellers VS.. Beechwood school,
Jenkintown, just rendered. She does
not come within the provision that
the act does not cover domestic SER
vice, although in an emergency she
might be called upon to help and
oversee necessary work about the
housekeeping. The decision was
given after a new hearing. The
claimant, Mrs. Minnie NJ. Sellers,
lives in Chambersburg.
In the case of Appleton VS.. Le-
high Valley railroad, Easton, referee
is reversed and compensation dis
allowed. 1t is found that the de-
cedent was discovered dead beside
his engine and that the fact that
he was preparing an engine to start
on interstate business brings the
case within those wherein compen-
sation can not be granted under
Federal decisions. 1t is held in the
claim of Wood VS.. National Milling
ana CnemlCal Company, rOS SldSe,
that compensation can be awarded
where injuries have accelerated
pre-existing diseases to a fatal end"
A new hearing is granted in Shalter
VS.. Keystone Vehicle Company,
Reading, and compensation is re-
fused in Polling VS.. Frick Coke Com
pany, in claim of mystagmus, an
occupational disease.
In dismissing a petition to set
aside a receipt in Ali VS.. Pittsburgh
Coal Company, Chairman Harry A.
Mackey says I'VE feel that to alter
the status in this case in the slight
est degree would be only to hold out
an inducement to men suffering
slight impairment to lay down on
their injuries and not to put forth
manly effort to rehabilitate them
selves"
A teacher falling and injuring his
knee while on the way from his
home to take a bus provided under
contract by school district en-
ploying him to take him to- the
school is not entitled to compen-
sation is the ruling in Leitner VS..

Scenic Highways


In a very real sense many Of these
roads possess scenery that gives to
them very great interest. The broad
eXpanse of the valley and mountains in
the Mills River section of the county
makes the road leading to it one of
the most beautiful drives inthe coun-
yty. Here is plainly seen the noun
tains of the Pisgah National Forest.
The scenery of he Hendersonville-
Charlotte highway has been too we'll
featured to justify more than passing
notice, both in its descent Of the Reedy
Patch Creek Valley and on down to
the Rutherford County line at Paris
Mountain, where the grandeur of the
Hickory Nut Gap and Chimney Rock
country opens out before the autoist
in alls it's unique sublimity.
The road to Sugar Loaf Mountain,
too, is one long to be remembered 1or
the far distant views that are TO be
obtained to the westward and later on
of this grand old mountain itself.
For those who have not yet trav>
erSed the more recently constructed
road to Saluda on the HendersOnvilIe-
Spartanburg Highway as it winds in
its course along the tortuous canyon
of Green River-surely have they
treat in, store for them. 1t is one Of
Henderson County's most scenic high
ways.
The Greenville road is better known,
along it are historic Flat Rock and
some splendid views in and about Tux
edO,-but the best here is just over the
line Of the South Carolina side, ref
erence being especially made to Green
villes splendid improvement on the
once famous 90 winding stairs.
For quiet combination of valley and
mountain the Grab Creek Road is sure
ly gem. Here it is that old Pinnacle
stands out in all it's glory. This is
a trip that is well worth the taking.
And, who indeed has not been to
Hebron? How many people know,
however, that we have a New Hebron
ROad-a new highway that not only
surpasses the old road in all the for
mer's scenic interest, but is destined
to become one Of the finest short trips
out of Hendersonville The new roaC
is just below the old, is on a good
grade and continues through to Et-
OWal.
The Shaw's Creek or Brevard High
way, is one of the valley roads along
which for quiet and comfortable driv-
ing, the mOtorist enjoys to the fullest.
The grades are low and the charm OF
distant mountains is never without the
usual interest
The Hickory Nut Gap Road part
of the Asheville- Charlotte Highway,
now nearing completion, possibly pos
sesses more thrilling mountain seen
erv than any road in the county.
While these cover perhaps the leading
highways of scenic inerest, there are
many, many more where the charm
of the Southern Appalachians unfolds
itself to those who have eyes to see.
Present Bonded Cost of Highways
The roads that we have represent
a total bonded Indebtedness or only

found in good shape.

ty authorities are boasting of having
Is per cent physically qualified for

DIR Brown is proud of the fact that
the young men of Henderson county
are in such fine physical trim. It
speaks we'll for the human physician
status of the county.
