turnover in 1882 of 81. $780,
900. In view of the very high
ratio of operations for the current
year of the two major indu, les,
textiles and tobacco products, this
figure would appear to be 4 decid-
ed underestimate. However, there
must be substacted S]35,DoO,o00
representing gross receipts from
agriculture; $40, 100000. Federal
tobacco excise taxes p,id; and
$3.50, 600, 900 wholesale and rerail
trade.
Under the Production Tax Bill
the taxable figure according to the
figures in table X would be $780,
100000 plus s1o0,00O,o 900 OF
items not included in the report
but covered by the bill, and null
tiplied by 5 mills would yield he
State $4,2S2,}00.
Lowest Estimate
This is the lowest possible esti-
mate that can be made for the
Clement measure. The latest and
best estimates on industrial pro-
.iuction in North Carolina in 1882
place the net figure at SI.10a,o00,-
900 and it may run somewhat
higher. On a 5 mills basis a yield
is indicated of $5,50o,ooo. Should
the basic industries of the State
show a normal improvement, the
yield could easily mount to S.
ooo, 900 to 100000 in the sec
ond year of operation.
Calling for a modern day ap-
|plication of the principles of taxa
ton to restore the confidence of
the people, Senator Hayden Glenn
emit, chairman Of the Senate APP
preparations Committee, made
public a statement in support of
his proposal for a production tax
in North Carolina.
Eve have invested in industrial
equipment for the manufacture of
marketable commodities $780,
900 1000 and employ 100000 wage
earners who in 1880 produced in
dustrial products to the value OF
s1,312, 300, ooo," Senator Clement
said. "in our States population OF
3,17o,276 approximately 100000
persons were engaged in agricul-
ture, who produced agriculture
products to the value of only
$327,ooo,ooo.
"Yet out of sc millions dollars
collected in taxes in 1881 by State:
county and city governments, 49
millions were collected from pro-
perty taxes.

market and taxable values of agrj.

GRANGE PROGRAM
OUTLINED

w LI1NLA
Louis ]. Taber of Columbus, O.:
National Grange master, was here
February 9TH for a conference with
the state executive committee and
other leaders, and outlined a farm
financial program of the Grange
to be presented before congress
soon.
He praised farming conditions
in this state and said they are "in
as good or better shape than any
section of the United States" and
mentioned three things to be ask
ed in Washington:
Immediate emergency credit Of
$500, 900 to be made available
to farm owners to care for past
due interest and taxes to halt fore
closures. Interest would be three
or four per cent;
Merging federal land banks and
joint S took loan banks into a uni
fled system, and to exchange pre-
sent five per cent bonds of these
organizations for two and a half
per cent government bonds with
thief armer being charged four per
cent;
Reamortizing present loans to
farmers over a longer period and q
rewriting of loans on a four pei
cent basis.

ests, commonly known as COM
merce, should cause us to consider
if a balance of these important
subjects would not tend to bring
about a more equitable distribu-
lions of the burdens of taxation,
thereby bridging the gap that now
exists between the value of agri-
cultural products and the ac-
emulation of corporate wealth.
"Our agricultural products are
largerly' consumed by those who
produce them, while the potential
market Of our industrial commo-
dities is unlimited, and many are
now consumed by other peoples OF
the earth.
1.-THE chief objection heard tc
the imposition of a production tax
On manufacturing is that it place.
a tax on articles manufactured ir
this State that are required to COM
pete with the manufacturers Of
other States. The same objection
can be raised to on income tax
to a franchise tax, to a property
tax or to any other form of tax
levied in this State on manufacture
ed products, which is not borne
by manufacturers of other States
"While we have forms of taxa
ton not uniform in other States
we must remember that manufac-
turers in other States have thei,
burdens of taxation, not uniform
with this State. For example, al.
most every other State levies a
property tax, on both real and per
sonal property which they must
overcome in competition with thi,
State.
"Our State, due to its geogra-
phical location and climate condi-
tions, and having as it does super
ior natural advantages for manu-
featuring, coupled with its fruga
and industrious population, is des-
tined to become the industria
workshop of our nation. Ranking

Get Real Relief
From Monthly Pains

SEVERE monthly suffering is a
sign of warning.
If you are having aches and pains
every month, heed the WARNING.
See what is wrong.
Treat the CAUSE of the trouble.
When womanly aches and pains
are due to a weak, rundown condi-
ton, take CARDUI. It has been
used by women for over so years. 1t
is a purely vegetable medicine and it
cannot harm you. Thousands Of
women have said that when they had
built up their strength with the help
of Cardui, real relief was obtained
and their general health and feeling
of well-being improved.
If you suffer this way, try Cardui,
which you can get at the drug store.

Not Excessive
Roman Senator Would Lew Five
Mill Tax On Production
Cites Reasons Why Legislature
Should Levy Production Tax

Appearing DS1olS IIlS JoIllI SuO-
committee of the joint finance
committee, Senator Hayden Glenn
ent, of Rowan, author Of the pro-
duction tax bill to levy a tax of
one-half of one per cent on the val
ue of practically all products
manufactured in the State, told the
committee that it faces an impos-
sible task of writing a revenue bill
unless the principle of a produc-
ton tax is incorporated in the re-
venue bill to be written.
Senator Clement made the fol-
lowing statement to the sub-com-
mittee:
The 1912 tax bill for all
purposes was $8S,483,434. Total
taxes including property, franchise
license and State income paid by
all manufacturing companies Tex
cept tobacco) during the year
1881 was s~2,514,343 (from page
2S7 of Report of the Tax Com
mission 1922.
Included in this group are all
cotton mills, hosiery mills, lum-
Der and furniture, bottling COM
panies and miscellaneous small
manufacturers.
Individual tax items for this
group show property taxes paid
$1,S5S,444, franchise $214,249,
privilege or license $23,295, State
income taxes $414,632, and special
dividend $2,72S.
Under S. B. 4 introduced by
Senator Hayden Clement placing
a 5 mills tax on gross production,
these same industries will yield an
additional s2,50o,00O based on the
conservative estimates.
As To Tobacco
Assuming that under the pre-
sent schedules the tobacco and all
other manufacturing ice not
hitherto covered in this report pay
total taxes for all purposes Of ST.
100000 the entire amount of re-
venue received from productive in
dustry is about $6,5OO,OOO or only
about 7 u per cent of the total
tax figure of $SS,485,434.
Comparing the sum of upwards
of s1,OoO,Oo0 received for manu-
featured goods by the various in
dustries with the sum of $685.
100000 received by farmers for
their farm and agricultural pro-
ducts, it would not seem that the
tax ratio has yet reached a fair
basis, and in North Carolina in
dustry is greatly favored over
agriculture.
The present system of taxing net
income of corporations is not
broad, and only takes in the more
successful companies.
The way is open for excessive
salaries and fee to Be charged a
gainst gross income.
Inventory losses and losses in sub
sidiary companies having no bear
ing on the actual operating acti-
vities Of a company may be charg-
ed in the anne way.
There is also a tendency to claim
depletion and depreciation in ex-
cess of a fair amount and also in
excess of that actually sustained
during the year.
The Production Tax is an in
strument of extreme simplicity
and no deductions can be made
from the gross figures.

Commission had very little to say
about the possibilities or yield of
