LAKEHURST, N. j.. May 27.-A
Federal boards hearings into the
Hindenburg disaster were completed
here today, with possible causes sug-
gested by experts as the origin OF
the fatal fire described as very re-

Comdr. Charles E. Rosendahl, final

BARBER RESPONSIBLE FOR
CLYDE HOEY'S COAT-TAILS

Governor Hoey, who admits he
wouldn't feel dressed without his
coat-tails, bought his last sack suit
80 years ago, wore it one day and
gave it away.
A barber in the Governors home
town of Shelby is largely response
BILE for the tails, which are as much
a part of the North Carolina Chief
Executives dress as his high shoes,
red boutonniere and stand-up collar.
Joking with reporters the other
day, Hoey told the story this way:
II started wearing tails just about
as soon as graduated into long
trousers. But 80 years ago I bought a
sack suit, put it on and walked
down to my BARRIERS. He looked at
me for minute or two and said:
"'Mr. Hoey, there's something
wrong with the way you're dressed
today. I can't figure out what it is
yet, but you don't look right
"Then he saw my abbreviated
coat and said reproachfully:
"'Mr. Hoey, you cut off your
tails!"
''That night I gave the suit to my
son. I've worn tails ever since"
The Governor didn't name the
barber.

SOCIAL SECURITY ACT

Congressional Republicans started
drive last week for revision of the
social security act.
They proposed to include domestic
servants and farm workers under
the old age pension system and to
place the system on a "pay-as-you
go'' basis.
The drastic changes-which also
would repeal the disputed provision
for an eventual reserve fund of
SAT ZOO, 900, 00O-were offered in both
House and Senate.
Administration spokesman re-
Trained from direct comment on the
proposals, but Chairman John S..
Winant of the social security board
issued this statement tonight:
'The social security board will
recommend to the Congress certain
technical, amendments. In addition,
it has before it certain substantive
amendments WLkfc11 are beng con-
sidered at the present time"
1t was recalled that late last year
Winant suggested broadening the
act to include domestic and farm
help in certain of it's provisions.
President Roosevelt disclosed in his
inaugural address that he had studi-
ed the general question of broaden
ing the act.

Grafton model system of taxation"

There is reaon to believe that
farmers and workers in many Sec
tions are bearing the brunt of the
existing multiplicity of tax levies.
Certainly important questions are
presented. Have high taxes on GER
tain modities-tobacco is a case
in point-had the effect of reducing
the price the farmers receive for
their products? Have these taxes
been factor in the widespread re-
placement of workers by machines
due to the narrow margins of profit
and intense business competition? Is
the Federal government endeavoring
to aid farmers, business men, work.
ers and unemployed on the one hand
and retarding the effort on the other
by high taxes? These questions and
others certainly deserve at least Sc
riouS question on the part of our tax
authorities and economists. Now is
the proper time for such considera-
ton, so that when economic recov-
cry is complete; and conditions are
normal, there can be a readjustment
of the tax situation.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1937-02-04

The primary reason for these con-
ditions is, of course, the fact that our
citizens are not tax conscious. have
said that they fail to realize how
much they are paying. Only COM
parative few people would be able
to sit down and figure their total
tax bill on the basis of direct and
hidden taxes paid for all forms of
government. If great number did
this, the wave of public resentment
would bring quickly a new era of
lower taxes, economy in government
and the endof needless expenditures,
On the basis of estimate of fed
eral tax revenue for the fiscal year
1887, every man, woman and child
will pay an average of $4,000 in
Federal taxes. In 1881, they paid an
average of only about twenty dol
lars. Per capita figures on state,
county and local taxes are incom-
plete, but it is indicated that with
federal taxes, the total is in the vi
cinity of 500. For a family of five,
this means total tax bill of $4,000.
Obviously, this tax burden is too
great and it is carried because our
people do not realize its weight on
the family budget.

Often some highly constructive
piece of legislation is thrown into
the congressional hopper and lost in
the grind because it lacks dramatic
appeal. In other words, its great sig
nificance is not quickly grasped.
Such measure has been offered by
MY distinguished colleague, Senator
King of Utah. It asks the President
10 call for Federal and state confer
ences on the subject of taxation with
the objective of bringing order out
of chaos in the taxing field.
There is no single issue of greater
Importance to our people today than
the need for settling once and for all
the proper sources of tax revenue for
the federal government, the states
and their political subdivisions. The
present method of double taxation
whereby the federal government
and the states, and often counties
and cities, tap the same tax reser-
voirs is having a disastrous effect
The situation is steadily growing
worse.

DOHERTY GIVES CHECK
FOR 100000 TO CHARITY

Henry L. Doherty, chairman of
the national committee arranging
balls in honor of President Roose-
welt wrote the President Saturday
he was contributing 100000 to be
divided equally between flood relief
and infantile paralysis funds.
Taking cognizance of flood relief
needs, Doherty said in a letter to the
President that II want to support
your own leadership" in raising both
flood and paralysis relief funds.

One example is gasoline. The fed
eral government collects a gas tax
every state levies such tax, and in
many sections county and cities
have superimposed gas taxes. The
result is that in many areas the COM
bined taxes exceed the price of the
commodity. Another example is Gig
arctic taxes. In one state the users
of cigarettes pay Federal tax of
six cents and state tax of five cents,
or a total of eleven cents on each
package. At this rate, the use of one
package of cigarettes each day
means. an annual tax bill of $40.15
Here are two fragrant instances OF
double taxation, others could be
cited.
The existing duplicate taxation,
made possible through hidden taxes
-levies included in the purchase
price of commodity with the result
that buyers lose sight of the heavy
taxes they are paying-has been an
important factor in waste in all
forms of government Citizens fail
to realize just how much taxes they
are paying. Finding it easy to grab
these tax pennies from Heaven -
legislators, national and state, often
lose sight of equity and ability to
pay, and bow to expediency. This is
particularly true in time of emer-
gency such as we have recently gone
through. And repeal of emergency
taxes when emergencies pass is the
exception rather than the rule. War
taxes levied by Congress were not
eliminated until 1928, land many have
been reenacted.

In 1881 our people paid a total tax
bill in all forms, federal, state and
local, that amounted to more than
So, 500, 100000. The current annual
bill is in excess of $12,00O,00O,0OO.
Certainly it is proper to raise the
question as to whether our people
are getting full return in the form
of benefits and protection, from the
billions they pay in taxes? Legisla-
tors, national and state, owe it to
their constituents to help find the
answer.

OF course, there are times when
taxes cannot be Immediately reduc-
ed without the curtailment of wide
spread governmental activities. We
are passing through such times at
present. However, it is not too early
to plan for normal conditions. Con-
ferences of federal and state tax ex-
perts with the view to drawing the
lines for sources of taxation, to the
end that one unit of government will
not invade the tax field of another,
are sorely needed.
The basis for such conferences is
already at hand. Four years ago,
subcommittee of the House ways
and means committee, headed by the
able Representative Fred M. Vinson
of Kentucky, made an exhaustive in
quiry into the subject of double tax
alton. It's factual preliminary report

In its review of the situation, the
Vinson subcommittee offered the
following questions which, in its
opinion, should be discussed and
solved:
First, which taxes are most adapt
able for the use of the Federal gov
eminent and which taxes are most
adaptable for the use of the state
governments?
Second, what taxes may be prop
erly imposed by both state and fed
eral governments without serious
objection from the standpoint OF
equity?
Third, what means should be
adopted to set forth model tax sys
tenn for the whole country.
Fourth, what means can be
adopted to bring into practical OPP
