Doughton Says
Fair Tax Ratio
New Deal Aim
Says He Doesn't See Much Hope
For Reduced Taxes" Now.

Washington, April 24.-Asserting
that payment of taxes should be
regarded as a privilege rather than
a duty, Representative Robert L.
Doughton tonight declared that the
new deal administrator was mere
ly seeking to allocate the tax bur-
den on American citizens in direct
ratio to their ability to pay.
He also expressed ''litt1e hope
for reduced taxes.
The North Carolinian, as chair
man of the House ways and means
committee, presented the admin
istration viewpoint on tax matters
in radio debate with Senator
William H. Cling CD Utah, con-
sentative opposition leader.
"The whole que ton Of taxation,
while of extreme Importance is
difficult to discuss because of the
unpopularity of taxes" Represent
tive Doughton began.
eve know, however, that re-
CARELESS of the general dislike of
taxation, it is indi pensible to the
welfare of our nation in that it is
the very life blood of government
and, if cut off or substantially di-
minished, would soon caue our
governmental, economic and social
structure to crumble into ruin.
The power to tax is not only a
well-recognized privilege of any
government, but is is a duty that
must be exercised in such govern
ment is to exi.t and function.
"Under our dual Item of gov
eminent, two soverigs, federal
and state, exercise virtally indie
pendent taxing authority within
the same territory and upon the
same people. Each government
renders certain services to it's citi-
zens, and, in turn, must look to
these came citizens for the taxes
necessary to provide its revenue.
mo person or class ought to
be proportionate share of the tax
load while tho3e who are less for
tunate. Legislators fail in their du-
ty unless the taxpayers viewpoint
and not only strive to distribute the
tax load as equitably as possible
but also strive to give the tax
payer his moneys worth when they
spend his tax dollar.

Ashe County
Public Library
Notes
BY MRS. CHESSE NEAL
Librarian
Librarian

We have received two books spe-
cially ordered for the library that
should prove very interesting read
ing.
One is ''The Cards the Windsors
Hold, by Stanton B. Leeds, writ
er of plays, stories, and a special
correspondent of the Hearst news
papens. He was the only new. pap
er correspondent admitted to inter-
view the Duchess of Windsor when
she was in seclusion in France be-
fore her marriage to the former
King Edward. The reasons for his
having been allowed interviews
were his social connections, being
the nephew of Mrs. William B.
Leeds who married Prince Christie
pher, of Greer, and his friendship
for Mr.. and Mrs. Herman l.. Rogers,
friends of the Duchess; also his
avowed partizanship of the Duke
and Duchess of Windsor. He writes
a very entertaining story of the
Windsons and there are a good
many things about them in the book
that did not come out in the news
papers.
The other book is, "Call It Free
DOM, by Marion McCasney Sims,
a North Carolina writer living in
Charlotte. She was born in Dalton,
Georgia educated at Agnes Scott
College and after her marriage,
moved to Greensboro where she
began writing novels. She has
written two other books, 'The
World with a Fence" and Morning
Star.
The setting of Call It Freedom"
is either Green boro or Charlotte
and is a story of social life and the
social problems of today. She
writes with great understanding,
and her characters are very human
and likeable. North Carolina should
be proud to have such novelist.
The library is greatly indebted to
Mr.. and Mrs. Laurence B. Ty. on, of
Springer, New Mexico, for years
subscription to "New Mexico, a
magazine published at Albuquerque
and descriptive of New Mexico. It
is a work of art in printing and il
Illustrations. Mrs. Tyson is the
former Miss Louise Foster, of JEFF
ferson and married Mr.. Tyson, a
Tennesseean in 1886, moving to
New Mexico three years later. Mr..
Tyson is district highway engineer,
with headquarters at Springer.
A collection of fiction is expected
from the state Library at Raleigh
this week and will be welcomed, as
the last collection has been "read
up" by patrons of the library.

BY MARY PADGETT

AN air Of excitement prevailed
"A yesterday afternoon at what
turned out to be one Of the
gayest card parties ever spon-
sored by the District Federation

was the opportunity for club
women to renew acquaintances.
The function, held at the head
quarters of the General Fedora
ton of Women's CLUBS, 1874 N
st. N. W., was the first gather
ing of federation members since
adjournment Of activities early
in the summer.
Everyone was pleased with the
success of the party, which will
swell the federation's treasury
money used for numerous educa-
tional, civic and philanthropic
enterprises. Forty tables Of card
players were crowded into the
lovely drawing room, music hall
and the dining room Of the
stately old building-roomS
which were newly decorated dur
ing the summer.
MORE THAN EXPECTED
Quite a few who had pur-
chased tickets for the party
came in for a few minutes,
chatted with friends, drank
punch, but could not remain to
play because of a larger attend
ance than had been expected.
But the non-players did not seem
to object.

and Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar,
