headlines give them, than they were in actual damage to British trans port lines, or the newer backbones of the British fleet?
 The answer, judging from the facts available up to now, would seem to be yes, or else submarine warfare has utterly failed so far in 1889. Also influencing that an- swer toward the affirmative, is the courtesy of sub captains just before the HitIer neace offensive.
 It would seem the German sub marine campaign were intended to show the British public what it was capable of doing to British Shipping, rather than actual dam age.
 Furthermore, headlines rever- berating through the world press adding luster to German arms are costing Hitler only about $10,O0O per reverberation. That's the cost of a torpedo. And as naval experts size it up, that's pretty good bargain in building headlines, from the German point of view.
 The one fly in the ointment is the loss of German submarines If British reports of three Ger man sub sinkings in one day are indicative of the actual situation then the headline bargain is not so good as it looks at first glance But no naval expert would sub scribe to the suggestion that the Germans are losing three subma- rines every day.

the hull of modern warships absorb the shock that otherwise would reach the inner skin of the ship and shat ter it.
 Since neither the Royal Oak nor the Courageous had in it's original design the maximum protection of air and oil chambers, the British tackled bulges or blisters on the out side of those ships-but these blls- ters couldn't have the strength in- herent in original designing. To- gether the two of these ships cost only $50, 900, 900 including their after thought blisters. That's much less than the cost of a modern battle ship.
 This all means that both the Royal Oak and the Courageous were obviously more vulnerable to torpedoes than new warships and, since the information is gen. erally known among naval men these floating fortresses were al- most an invitation to submarines Furthermore, if submarines could get close enough to sink them, g great wave of sensational head lines would inevitably follow il, the Allied-and neutral press.

ONE SIDED SCORES ARE
 FEATURE OF DOUBLEHEADER

More scoring and greater win ming margins marked the second basketball games in the Douglas League series played at the Nata- orium last night.
 Jensen's team, reinforced since last week with new players, won handily from the High School by 29 to 10, and the margin should really have been larger if height and weight would have been the important factor it should. as Coach Pool of the younger boys used his second string most of the time. Veteran Manning was high man on Jensens team with points, and Jensen was next with 6. Gordon Wahto scored 4, highest on the high school team. Warmers team walked over the Foundry to the tune of 40 to Is. Travelling in high from the very start the grocerymen began to score immediately while the iron workers were unable to get started, until almost the second half.
 ErSkines as usual was star perform CT for the winners, making 19 coun- ters or practically half their total. Stragier made 10. Foundry's top scorer was Edwards with 6, Mills and Niemi each had 4. Scores at the half was 25 to 8.

Towns Which Do Not
Report Lose Taxes
Continued From Page One>

ham, Forsyth, Guilford, Mecklen-
burg, New Hanover and Wake, towns
and cities received a larger share of
the proceeds than did the counties
in which they are located At first
glance, this seems unreasonable, but
when the method of figuring re-
turns is understood, it is all very
simple
The State collected for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1899, a total
of $1,043,93 Collection and ad-
ministrative costs were $41,757.27,
leaving $1,0G2, ,174.58 to be divided
equally between the State and local
governmental units. The $5O1 ,O87 29
which went back to the counties and
towns is required under the law
to be used for school purposes.
The tax collected on money on de-
posit in banks and on sums left with
insurance companies is distributed
to counties on the basis of popula-
ton. Money collected on money on
hand, accounts receivable notes and
bonds and shares of stock is dis
tributed on the basis of actual col
lectiOnS from the counties; and it is
allocated to the county itself and to
towns and cities therein on the basis
of total ad va1orem levies on real
and personal property. Under that
method, where higher tax rate
gives city or town larger actual
tax return on a. smaller@ .valuation
than in the county as a whole, the
municipalities get a larger share of
the intangibles.
In Wake county, for instance, a
county tax rate of cents does not
yield as much as the $14O rate on
approximately two-thirds of the val
uation in Raleigh. Therefore, Wake
county gets $6,4O4.35 from intang-
ibles, while the capital city gets $8,-
1855, and the nine other incor-
pOrated towns in the county get a
total of $850.7O, based upon the
yield from tax rate averaging
about the same as Raleigh's.
Intangibles collections for the
year just closed went 1874 percent
above collections for the previous
year, which was the first time the
state had undertaken collection
Revenue department officials think
that the increase is due to better
understanding Of The law and fuller
cooperation of the people, rather
than to actual increases in intang-
ibles wealth in the State. They pre-
dict an even larger percentage in
crease for the next year. If that pre-
diction pans out, counties, cities and
towns will get a good deal more
from this source next year, be-
cause the last legislature chanoe1
the law on division and local units
will receive so per cent instead of
so per cent of the total collections
Even with the increase noted this
year, many of the more competently
organized counties are not getting as
much from intangibles as they got
