While the report does not contain

Roosevelts Lying
The Roosevelt government, by
taking statistics, is trying to make
it appear that there is an increase
in the sale Of goods over last year,
by publishing the report of a rise
in the money volue of goods sold.
While it is true, with the tremen-
dously increased prices, the cost of
goods is higher, it is the outstand-

Austria They are condemned by the Dollfuss gov

They need our aid!
It is not question Of few dollars, or a few
hundreds Of dollars. It must be thousands Of dol

The first quota, set by the International Red
Aid for the International Labor Defense, to meet
the first, immediate needs, is 5000.

every corner of the workers fstherland enthusiast

have prepared to give homes to hundreds of Aus

Is it not a question of revolutionary honor
that we follow their example?
The workers of the Soviet Union well under
stand that the heroic struggles of the Austrian
proletarat is a struggle in defense not merely of
the workers of Austria They understand well that
it is vanguard action of the world proetariat. 1t
is a battle for the world revolution.

fighting our fight Just as they were fighting their

THE INTERNATIONAL LABOR DEFENSE has
taken up the task of organizing the moral and
material support and relief of the Austrian workers
We must respond in far greater measure than
hitherto to the appeal of the International Labor
Defense. We must throw all our weight behind
the campaign Of the international Labor Defense
We must reach farther and farther into the
masses, tap those reservoirs Of proletarian sym
pathy and solidarity which have been swened by
the dramatic news Of the Austrian workers fight.
In every organization in every shop and mine,
in every trade union, at every meeting wherever
men and women gather who are in sympathy with
the heroic Austrian workers-and they are millions
strong in the United states-the question of direct
practical concrete support of our Austrian brothers
must be raised.
Build a broad, powerful united front of aid and
defense for our Austrian brothers, against the
bloody hand of Fascsm
Defend the victims of bloody Dollfuss- Helm

Protest the Austrian terror at every consulate!
Support the Austrian workers fight; support it

the anti-fascist front, to uphold with powerful
proetarian hand the struggles of the heroic Aus

Crack Safe OF
Concord Store

Concord.-Striking with swift
and unerring accuracy, expert
yeggmen cracked the safe at Efird's
department store, in the heart of
the city's business section, Monday
night or early Tuesday morning
and got away with between $500
and $4,000 in cash, the exact
amount not having been immedia-
tely determined. 1t is believed to
be the largest robbery in Concord's
history.
Entrance was gained by pryins
the lid of a trapdoor on the roof,
the thieves reaching the second
floor interior by gaining foothold
on a row of shelves. From that
point the distance to the office on
the mezzanine, where the safe is
kept, is but a short flight of stairs.
City police officers who investi-
gated were unable to find anything
that even remotely resembled a
clue.

New York State contributed
more than Fl per cent. of the total
the amount collected from the State
being $56S,o22,279, or at the rate

The little State of Delaware:

Iof $500 per capita. But Delaware
must be classed as an exception.
There are hundreds of corporations
doing business in other States which
for various reasons, maintain their
home offices in Delaware.
The Government, collecting an
income tax both on corporations
and individuals, receives as a result
an unusually large sum from Della

But Virginia, another tobacco

year, at the rate of $5O.37 per per-
son.
Compare these figures with those
for half a dozen other States chosen
at random.
New Mexico paid no gift tax at
all, contributed only So as a result
of the tobacco AK and wound up
the year with a total payment of
$87O,198, or at the rate of S2.02

1t was Mississippi, however, that
shouldered the least burden of all
States last year. The State paid

with its population of 2,o36,ooo,

The Federal tax, figured on a per

To meet this tremendous outlay.
the Government levied taxes, col

The bulk of the money was Dor
rowed. In total the borrowing ex-
ceeded eight thousand million dol
lars.
To answer in definite form the
questions being asked more and
more frequently: "Where does the
money come from?" and "Where
does the money go?" the Hearst
newspapers presented last Sunday
an itemized report showing the ma
tons revenues and its extraor-
binary or emergency expenses.
The Federal budget for normal
expenditures, totaling more than
three thousand million dollars, pur-
posely was omitted from the report.
From the table of Federal reve-
nues, as presented by the Hearst
newspapers, one fact stands out
with startling clarity. The present
Federal taxing system results in
gross inequalities.
The people of North Carolina,
for example, pay $260,405,991 in
taxes, OF at the rate of $SO.27 per
person. The bulk of this total
comes from the levy on tobacco.
