Blowing Rock in
Favor of Putting
Itself i'm Caldwell

LENOIR, Jan. ia movement to
annex Blowing Rock and portion
of Blowing Rock township in Wa
tauga county to Caldwell county was
started here this afternoon when a
group of Blowing Rock citizens,
headed by Mayor D. P. Coffey, met
with directors of the Lenoir chamber
of commerce and the county COM
missioners to discuss the possibility
of annexation.
Mayor Coffey stated that approx
mately 80 per cent of the citizens in
the area in question favor annexa-
ton to Caldwell county and predict
ed that they would sign petition to
have this action taken by the Cald
well county board.
Valuation of property in Blowing
Rock was estimated at $1,500,OOO and
an effort will be made to have Cald-
well county take over a portion of

It is too early to anticipate the
course of the new Seventy-fifth Con-
gress in reshaping Federal programs
and Federal activities in the light of
the brighter economic skies that
have followed in the wake of depres-
sion storms. However, there is every
indication that the Congress will
give more than usual study to each
recommendation that may call for
larger expenditures, increased activ-
ity and new functions of govern
ment.
Evidence of this is already avail
able in the form of the unprecedent-
ed interest in the estimates of in
come and expenditures Federal
budget-submitted to the Congress
by the President. Thus it is obvious
that expenditures must be justified
on the basis of the contribution they
will make to the public welfare.
Predictions of rubber stamp"
Congress by reason of the sweeping
victory of the President last Novem-
Der, and the top-heavy Democratic
majorities in both Houses are not
borne out by developments to date.
THE BUDGET-The Federal bud

The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1937-01-21

mitted by the President, calls for ex-
penditures of roughly SOS for each
man, woman and child in the United
States. It also calls for taxes in
amount of $45, on the average, for
every individual, adults and young
sters. The difference OF $40 repre-
sents the deficit
Let's look at the budget another
way. John Jones can maintain his
family budget and keep income and
expenditures balanced so long as the
latter adhere rigidly to the budget.
But if some mishap befall the Jones
family, requiring unusual expenses,
the head of the household has to
borrow. From then on, income must
be increased or expenditures slashed,
else the budget loses caste.
That is what happened to the Fed
eral budget. In the absence of ade-
quate income to cover the emergen-
cy outlay and in the face of mainten-
ance of regular expenditures, there
has been deficit. In other words
multiply the Jones problem about
three million times and you have q
picture of the Federal situation
which, however, is getting better as
regards increasing revenues.
The $8,OOO,OOO,0O budget for the
fiscal year 1887, is around $4,000, 900
600 above the 1882 level, due to re-
lief expenditures, farm-aid, adjusted
compensation for veterans, Social
Security, recovery programs and SO
on The 1897 total NAV be raised or
lowered by the Congress as hearings
are held on various appropriation
bills. Have these increased expendi-
lures been justified? Congress will
decide.

WOMEN BAD
DRIVERS, BUT
NOT AT FAULT

TORONTO, Ont, Sept. 6. U.P)-
Women are bad automobile drivers,
but it's not their fault because they
are muscle-bound, in the opinion
of Prof H. r. Desilva, head of the
accident and traffic research bureau
at Harvard University.
Prof. Desilva, who heads the only
school of its kind in the world, visit
ing the Canadian national exhibi-
tion here, said 1t was practically
impossible" to teach woman over
IS years old to drive.
"Women over 25 get set mentally
and physically" he said. Their
muscles refuse to respond at the
speed necessary in modern driving
conditions.
"They are simply muscle-bound.
However, If you take a boy and a
girl out of high school and teach
them to drive the girl will prove
the boys equal in every respect"

Wisconsin Golfer
Victor i'm Western

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6 UP)-
Wilford Wehrle of Racine, Wis, to-
day held the western amateur title
after a 1-up 80 hole victory over
Dour Charley Kocsis o. Detroit
The squared -jawed champions
only previous golfing fame was his
Wisconsin state championship and
his reaching the quarter-finals of
the British amateur in 1885, but
the 50-foot putt which won him
the match might have come from
the an who invented the game. 1t
was on the final hole, with Kocsis
lying Is feet from the pin, and
Wehrle more than three times that
far away. Wehrle sidled up to the
ball, stroked it gently, and then let
out the boy in him. Hooting like a
locomotive at a grade crossing, he
chased the ball toward the cup
When it dropped for a birdie three
and the match, he cut loose, leap
ed in the air and ran shouting for
his pal, Ray Billows, of Poughkeep-
sic, NY, whom he had annihilated
in the semi-finals.
A gallery of 1000 saw poker-faced
Kocsis fight an uphill battle.
BY the end of the first 18, the
Detroiter was working 4 holes be-
hind Wehrle. Then in the after
noon, he came back to whittle it
down to a Sup on the 23rd, 2 ur
on the 9th, and 1-up on the 29th
Then Wehrle dug in and they hal
we'd every hole to the 36th, When
Werle's cool putt snatched the title.

TAX EXEMPTIONS
MAY Be LOWERED
Senator King Believes Move
Necessary to Reach More
Citizens.

Senator King. Democrat, of Utah,
expressed the opinion today that Con-
gress will find it necessary to lower
income tax exemptions so as to reach
more taxpayers.
Tax revision is one of the admin
istration's proposals for the next Con-
gress session.
King said he would propose legis-
lation to ''codify and simplify" the
tax laws, repeal of the capital gains
tax and to make material changes in
the undistributed profits tax
Revenue Not Adequate.
He asserted the capital gains levy
had not produced substantial revenue
and had retarded business activity,
while the undistributed profits tax
should be changed to permit corpo-
rations to make deductions in cases
where they are prevented by special
circumstances from declaring divi-
dends.
King, ranking majority member of
the Senate Finance Committee, re-
turned from Utah to begin a two weeks
study OF the tax laws. He said he
planned to confer with Treasury ex-
perts who are preparing recommends
tions for the administration bill.
The House interim committee, ap-
pointed to hold hearings on the tax
revision question, is expected to re-
turn here after October l to begin
its work. King said he will attempt
to incorporate his ideas in the ad-
ministration bill or propose them as
separate legislation.
Disappointed With Tax Board.
The Utah Senator said he was dis
appointed" at the manner in which
the Board of Tax Appeals has func-
toned and will propose that the
boards judicial powers be curtailed.
The board, he said, has "enveloped
itself in judicial raiment," whereas it
should serve as an advisory and ad-
ministrative agency.
King said he would also propose
that the cost of tax collection be re-
duced by simplifying and decen-
tralizing" the power of making de-
cisions in tax matters. He suggested
that the internal revenue system be
converted into career system.
