Red Cross Drive Continues.

The quota for this community OF
$500 IS nearly reached and many OF
the rural communities are yet to be
heard FROM, which gives hope that il
will be more than raised Fortine
which was asked to raise $40, has con-
tributed S21 under the leadership of
Robert Herrig; Gateway, with Miss
Dorothy Gasahl as teacher, raised $805
although they were only asked to raise
SIS; Sheldon Canyon, with George
Gasahl as teacher, contributed 81 and
they tell us they are going TO give a
basket social on February IL to raise
more funds; and Edna Creek, with few
patrons and children, sent in s325. Miss
Mary Moses is teacher there. The re-
spouse of the outlying communities has
been very generous and many are yet
to be heard from. The local grade
school and teachers contributed SIS to-
ward the fund.
Some criticisms have come to the at
tention of the solicitors in regard to the
work of the Red Cross. The following
information may help clear up those
false ideas. When Mr.. Paulson, field
representative, was here some time ago
he told our secretary. Mrs. Cora Waller,
that the late national chairman, Judge
Payne. never touched cent of the
salary allowed him for his own per-
sonal use and, moreover. upon his
death he left 100000 as trust fund
to the Red Cross. This in addition to
what they had on hand III trust was
sufficient to take care of all overhead
now every cent taken in IS used for di-
rect relief. None is used in upkeep of
the organization or for salaries. This
should answer the salary question Of
the national organization. OF course,
all work done locally by helpers and
officers is gratis; they receive nothing
for their work.
Another criticism which has been
voiced by several outside communities
is that they have not received help.
The present local officials are positive
in their belief that every outlying COM
munity, that ever asked for help, has
received it. They, perforce, have GER
tain restrictions upon their giving 1t
is the rule that only immediate relief
can be given in the form of food, shell
ter and clothing. They can only tide
over in an emergency. The committee
endeavors to act in charitable spirit
and tries to provide all hedp with as lit
tie publicity as possible, but the books
in which all donations are recorded are
open to the public for inspection at any
and all time Mrs. Campbell has a
record Of all contributions and to whom
they were given while Mrs. Cora Wal
Ter, who keeps the secretary books, has
on all occasions at meetings Of the Red
Gross, begged people to look over the
books and last year she had the books
audited by Frank Salter. Before you
say your community has not been aid
ed, come and check over the books and
read the rules regulating the giving of
help. The committee will welcome
your interest.
The response so far has been gen.
erous beyond all expectations and the
committee feels confident of reaching
the quota,

Revenue Conferees
Facing Heavy Duty
But All Senate Amendments Including Restoration OF
Meals Tax Are Likely to Stick; Good Chance
for Building Tax to Be Broadened

profess to have information that the
revenue bill finally enacted into law
will exempt meals and go all the way
in taxing building supplies.
Gasoline Pump Tax Likely.
There seems at present little diff
ference of opinion that the flat 81
levy on gasoline pumps, the tax to
be paid by wholesalers and distribu-
tors, will be included in the ultimate
draft.
Those who hold the view that meals
will continue to be taxed say they
have reliable information that Gov
ernor Hoey has dropped meals ex-
emptions from his must list" and
that he will be willing for the present
levy to remain in effect, despite the
fact that the Democratic platform
flatly, and in so many words, promis-
ed to remove the tax from prepared
meals.
Meals Tax To Stick.
Certainly the Senate, which has
given the go : - g"aT2 and serious
consideration, 5 unlikely to recede
from the position it has taken on the
roll call votes. Twice it has rejected
amendments by Senator A. Hall john
ston, of Buncombe, who sought to ex-
empt meals The votes were % to 20
the first time and % to 21 the second,
indicating that an absolute majority
of the Senate favors the tax.
Westerners are crying Justify that
this is another slap at the West"
legislators contending that the tax on
meals will be destructive to the tour
list traffic; but their lamentations
seem destined to fall on deaf ears,
from all indications.
Those who voted to tax meals took
the stand that the party platform all
so pledged the Democrats to remove
the sales tax from "all necessities
and they point to the fact that meals
are no more "necessitieS" than shoes
and groceries sold at the corner store,
from which the tax has not been re-
moved.
Would Levy ALI Materials.
On the building material issue there
are several schools of thought, and
although none of them is entirely sat-
isfied with action of the Senate, all
of them are likely to. accept it as
fait accompli rather than reopen a
controversy upon which there can be
no unanimous agreement, only a COM
promise.
Outright opponents of the levy feel
that the principle of taxation involv-

Raleigh. Feb 25.--With three i'm
portant amendments tackled on by the
Senate. the revenue bill will undoubt-

House and Senate conferees will be

ferences which on their face seem to

Any prediction of the conferences
action at this time would be little
better than a guess, but there are in
dications which lead observers who
ought to know to the opinion that the
Senate amendments regarding chain
filling stations, building supplies and
sales tax on meals will eventually be
accepted in virtually their present
form. There are some, however, who
do not take this viewpoint and who

one on consumption) is a dangerous
one and one which should not be re-
cognized at all. These legislators
would like to strike out the whole
building material tax, but most of
them recognize the necessity of rails
ing revenue and are about reconciled.
ALI in all a keen fight seems in pros
pect, but it is a quite general belief
that desire to balance the cudget and
to end the current session as expedi-
tiously as possible will lead to &C
