The Growth of Air Travel

The most remarkable thing
about travel by air is that peo-
pie no longer look upon it as re-
, narkable. Within the last two
or three years it has become
commonplace.
We are not speaking now, Of
course, Of the spectacular
flights of Balbo, Wiley Post, the
Mollisons, and other daring ad-
venturers, but Of regular day-to-
day passenger service. A neigh
Dor says to you that he is going
to take a plane to Washington
tomorrow, or to Atlanta Or Mi
ami or New York, and you are
no more excited by it than if he
told you he was going by rail
or automobile.
The improved construction of
planes, safety devices. frequent
and meticulous inspections, bea-
cons, emergency landing fields,
accurate weather reports, care in
the selection Of personnel, and
strict regulations have so re
duced the dangers Of air travel
that all but the timidest peO-
pie have come to regard a plane
operated by one Of the big com
panies as just about as safe as
any Qthsf vehicle. An accident
to one Of them is a rare occur
renee. Take the number Of pas
sengers carried and the number
of fatalities, do a simple prob
lem in division. and you find
such wide margin Of safety
that flying, you feel involves
little if any more risk than
crossing a busy street.
Eastern Air Transport. the
company which serves this state,
reports that in five years its
planes have flown more than
|18,000,000 miles and have car
ried 225,000 passengers. The
passengers carried in the first
six months Of this year num-
bered 28, 8,527 as compared with
1909 in the first half Of 1882.
In June Of 1893 the passenger
total was 1852, against 1915 IN
June of 1892, an increase Of 161
per cent. AS a result of the ris-
ing volume of traffic, a feet of
big new ships has recently been
put into operation.
North American Aviation, Of
which Eastern Air Transport IS
a part, has planes that fly Al 1926
scheduled miles every day. They
serve 81 cities with an aggre-
gate population of 100000.
Regular commercial alrplane
service is a recent growth most
of the development has come
about within the last three or
four years. Large as the num-
Der of air travellers is today, it
| is small compared with what it
will be few years hence. Be-
| fore another decade has passed,
the airway map of the country
will no doubt show many local
lines, such as, for example, one
from Wilmington to Ashevllle
| in North Carolina. Now that
planes have become safe, and
people know it, the increasing
volume of traffic upon them will
reduce the price of tickets. Thir-
| ty years ago only very small
proportion of Americans had
ever ridden in an automobile !;
now everybody rides. 1t won't
! be long before the same thing
has happened in respect to air.

The American Legion's Policy

In stating his conception OF
the stand the American Legion
should take with regard to the
Governments aid TO World
War veterans, Louis Johnson,
the national commander, says
Eve owe it a. q duty to our dis
abled comrades and our country
to adopt a definite policy that is
based upon reason and justice
both to the Government and the
veterans"
The Legion is soon to have its
annual convention in Chicago.
If it acts in the spirit reflected
in these words from its com
mander, the country will have
no complaint to make against it.
'The legion is faced by two
icrucial alternatives" says the
st. Louis GlObe-DcmOcrGt. 'Is
it to be the constructively pa
triotic organization it was de-
signed to be and make the well
fare Of the country its first con-
sideration, or will it be primar-
lily an agency for promoting
drafts upon the Federal treas
ury beyond the power of the
country TO sustain? The events
of the last six month have Gre
ated situation which demands
a decision on the part Of the
Legion, decision which will de-
termine whether ii is TO be an
instrument for the c0untry's
good as we'll as for the real good
Of the veterans, or to be largely
q political instrument for the
advancement Of selfish interests.
If it takes the former course, it
will 90 on and up; if the latter
it will go down, and ought TO go
down"
The line Of division between
what the Government ought to
do and what it ought not to do
for veterans is plain enough. It
ought to provide generously for
the dependents Of men who
were killed or disabled in the
military or naval service and
for those veterans, still living,
who are incapacitated as result
of their service. It ought not TO
provide for those who came out
|of the service we'll and whole.
What the Legion has been criti-
cized for in the past, and with
justice, is that it has been active
in forcing the Government,
Through pressure upon vote
hungry politicians, to make out
lays of tens of millions of dol
lars a year for the benefit Of
men who have had no rightful
claim upon the public treasury.
If it will cease that kind of ac-
tivity it will merit the congratu-
lations of the American people
A fact not thoroughly under
stood by the public is that the
veterans organizations, in fore
ing an expansion of the number
|sf veterans to be brought under
/ the cloak of governmental benev-
olence, have inflicted cruel in
justices upon veterans and de-
pendents most deserving Of aid.
In almost every community one
finds examples of this inequit-
able treatment: here, a depend
ent of soldier who was killed
in battle receiving from Wash
ington paltry thirty or forty
dollars a month; there, man
who suffered no injury or ILL.,
ness in the service receiving two
| or three times as much.
The Legion and all other vet
erans' organization do we'll to
demand adequate allowances

McMuIlen Gives Ruling

(Continued from preceding page)
the inquiry was referred by Mr.
Maxwell, replies
"You ask for our ruling on
one trading period in the uni
form sales tax schedule. This is
intended to mean that any and
all purchases made by a custom
er at any one visit to a store
will include the purchases made
| in the store at one and all de-
partments in the store on that
particular trip or visit. This will
! be regarded as 'one trading
period Purchases at different
counters on the same trip
should be treated as purchases
made at one trading period and
YOU should not be taxed separ-
ately by each department on
the same visit" "
Many Chapel Hill people who
trade at the fve-and-ten-cent
stores in Durham and Raleigh
have been interested in this
point raised by Mr.. Adams. To
comply with the revenue depart
ment's ruling such stores Will
nave to operate some sort OF
ticket system under which GUS
toner who makes one purchase
will receive a tax credit which
may be applied against others.
The difficulty relating to mul-
tiple purchases does not arise IN
Chapel Hill because no store
here is SO large that a Gus
toner has any trouble in COM
bining his purchasing and pay
ing the tax on all Of them TO-
gether. The nearest thing IN
the village to department store
lis S. Berman's, and Mr.. Berman
said yesterday:
Here customer can 20 from
one counter to another, upstairs
and down, and the tax on what
he buys is not added until he
gets everything he wants. You
see that placard there? We fol-
low that exactly"
The placard to which he point
ed, the one issued by the state
department Of revenue, is DIS
played in every store. 1t says
that no tax is to be paid on pur-
|chases amounting TO less than
no cents, 1-cent tax on pur-
chases from 10 to 35 cents, Z
cents on SO to 70 cents, 3 cents
on II cents to $1.05, and 3 per
cent when the total Of purchases
is above $1.05.
The objection has been made
by some purchasers that a l.
cent tax on a 10-cent purchase
is unfair, since this amounts to
a 10 per cent tax instead Of the
|3 per cent tax levied by law.
But this advantage to the mer-
|chant is counterbalanced-to
what extent, of course, nobody
knows-by the purchases under
no cents upon which the mer-
chant collects no tax.
For example, there is moth
ing to keep the patron of five
and-ten-cent store from making
twenty scent purchases, at diff
ferent counters, and paying no
tax on any of them. The total
being 81, the law requires him
to pay 3 cents on these twenty
purchases, but the management
| of the store cannot very well
have customers followed from
counter to counter to make sure
they do not evade the tax.
In some establishments, like
tho five nd -fenS and the drup-
