INCOME TAXPAYERS TO GET
RELIEF.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Although
federal taxes still are heavy enough,
there is a bit of relief ahead as the
year 1920 appears just around the
taxation corner. It may have been
overlooked in the row over. the league
of nations and the Cunlmins railroad
bill, but the. fact: is there will come
change in income tax rates with the
new year.
This change, possibly, is of especial
interest to North Carolina, which has
the record of paying. more internal
revenue taxes than any Southern
State. At that, however, most of
North Cardinals taxes are super and
excess profits taxes-Which is due to
the unprecedented prosperity of the
State-but revision of the lower
schedules is of general Importance.
With the arrival of the new year
lower schedules will become opera
tive as to the normal taxes on in
comes. The present normal rate OF 6
per cent up to $4,000, excluding the
exemption of course, will be changed
to 4 per cent. The normal rate on
incomes above $4,000 will be 8 per
cent instead of IL.

COLLEGE PRESIDENT
OUTLINES REMEDY
:Teils How High Cost Of Living Prob,
lens May, Be Solved by Every
Man and Woman.

President Nicholas Murray Butler
OF Columbia University, in a recent
discussion OF the high living costa
said:
Furnishing pronteers is a good
thing, but it won't reduce the cost OF
living. II we had all their boarded
goods it would do little good.
Only the operation of inexorable
economic laws can bring us back to
toierable conditions. The remedy ia
TO save, to practice public economy
and private thrift. We must save and
invest in productive industry. Bor
rowing for. non-productive. reasons
means bankruptcy"
In the opinion OF the best econo.
mist in the United States the roo-
Pies greatest weapon against higA
prices is the governments Thrift
campaign. Every family should have
budget, just as every successful
business has a budget The first
thing on that budget should be the
amount to be saved from the weekly
or monthly income-not the amount
to be spent. Make what yeu save
govern the amount you spend, not
what you spend govern the amount
you save. z#
War Savings Stamps bring
per cent interest, compounded every
three months. Hit high prices below
the belt by investing in United States
securities. The dollar you save today
may be worth twice as much five
years from now.
