HIGH LOCAL TAXES
SHOWN BY SURVEY
State, County and City Levies so
Per Cent More Than United
States, Grange Says.

Reduction In Federal taxes last year
was accompanied by u continued in
crease in State, county and local taxes,
a survey conducted by the Washing.
ton headquarters of the National
Grange indicates, showing the total
paid under the latter assessments
was approximately so per cent greater
than the Federal tax bill.
Results of the survey, announced
today, show that State taxes alone in
creased from a total of 1888, ,155, 900
in 1922, as reported to the Census
Bureau. to 1919, 7S4 900 in 1924, on the
basis of incomplete returns. 1t was
figured that complete returns were
almost certain to place the figure
above 5000 900 900.
Added to this total, the amount
paid under county, school, municipal
and special taxes gives an aggregate,
with many items yet to be included
when the survey is completed, of more
than $3,70O, 900 900. This compares
with Federal income and miscellaneous
taxes totaling $2.6SS 100000.
County taxes were shown in the
study to amount to as much as State
taxes. and school taxes were report
ed generally to exceed the total State
tax.

quantity of escaping air. This gives
the relative ability of the fabrics to
keep out the wind and to prevent cir
culation of air.
Moisture tests are made by tying
samples over small glass beakers con.
tanning water. The beakers are kept
at a constant temperature and the
tops of the fabrics exposed to an at
mosphere of standard humidity. The
beakers are weighed at intervals and
the moisture measured.
The tests deal with the whole nrob-
lem of fabrics from the production of

manufacture of the cloth They are
made in a special laboratory insulated

A special device tests the strength
of individual fibers in cloth, and an

gradually pulls it apart, so as to spot
weaknesses in the weave. 1t is only
by such tests that manufacturing ma
chinery can be readjusted to produce
cloths of uniform strength over their
entire surface.
The bureau investigations show that
very often weaknesses in fabrics NAV
be traced back to the cotton fields
where baled cotton is exposed to
weather damage. The loss on account
of weather damage is estimated at up-
ward of S25 100000 a. year, 500-pound
bales of cotton having been found in
which there has been as much as are
pounds of damaged cotton to the bale.
