Federal Tax.

In every place, admission to
which is subject to tax, there must
be conspicuously posted at the en-
trance and near the box office one
or more signs accurately stating
each of the established prices Of
admission, the amount of the Fed
eral tax due, and the total Of the
established price and tax.
It will probably be impossible to
secure tickets for use by July I,
1910, which will be printed as re-
quired by the law. The following
instructions are issued to cover
this situation:
1. In all instances where it Is prac-
ticable, new tickets must be pro-
vided or the tickets on hand over
printed or overstamped, to show
the established price and the tax
applicable thereto. In every case
where the established price Of adj
mission is changed, new tickets
will have to be provided or the
tickets on hand must be overprint-
ed or overstamped.
2. Where the established price Is
not changed, for limited tine I'M
til properly printed tickets can be
obtained, the use of tickets now on
hand which do not show the tax
due under the Revenue Act Of
1910 will be permitted. However,
there must be conspicuously post
ed at the outer entrance or near
the box office one or more signs
accurately stating each of the es-
tablished prices Of admission and
in the case of each such price the
tax due and the sum total.
Admissions tax returns must be
filed in the office of the Collector
of Internal Revenue, st. Paul,
Minnesota, and the tax paid for
each month not later than the last
day of the succeeding month.
Forms will be provided you as
soon as possible for filing returns
and making payment of the tax.
It will be necessary to show separ-
ately on those forms the amount OF
tax collected on admissions in ex-
cess of zoe and not in excess OF 4Oc
and the tax on admissions in ex-
cess of 4Oc. If the forms furnished
you do not provide space for show
ing this information separately, it
should be written in the following
manner:
Tax on admissions from 21c to 4Oc.
Tax on admissions in excess OF 4Oc.

Internal Revenue.

The Petroleum Outlook

The New York Herald Tribune finds those
who follow the oils rather pessirnistic over
s~econd-Quarter earnings prospects. They cite
some six or seven reasons why income for the
September period will not be up to that in the
second quarter. They point to softness in gaso'
line prices at the height of the consuming sea-
son and similar weakness for other products,
such as lubricating and fuel oils.
In addition there are the diminution of for
eign demand, increased federal taxes, con
tinued high gasoline inventories, operation Of
refneries at uneconomic levels, and lower
tanker rates for companies with fleets. A res
|ervation is made in the case Of purely produc'
ing companies which are still able to- sell theil
crude at prices unchanged from last year. Re
timing and marketing corporations are not sc
well situated, for it is shown that the average
dealer price for gasoline in so cities was only
1871 cents a gallon Tex taxes" on July l, the
Lowest point since 1884, and about one cent
lower than last year.
The Herald Tribune adds that it is expected
the industry will close the heavy motor fue
consuming season on September 80 with stocks
of 80, 900, 900 barrels, a figure which would be
considered economic six months later, Marcf

Let's Go

The sale Of Front street property between
Chestnut and Princess is important, not only
because transfers of business sites are stimu-
lating, but also because the new owners are to
rae the present buildings and construct a new
and vastly improve the appearance Of the
block.
With the new theater building on the block
below progressing rapidly, and this project
soon to start, Front street will more nearly ap-
proach the standard Of modern business thor
oughfares within a year. If present owners
along the street wish to profit by what is 60
ing on around them they will plan improve
ments to bring their holdings up to the high
mark these new buildings are to establish.
Wilmington is in the midst of a building con-
~struction movement which shows that capital
is ready to find an outlet here, and is convinced
that returns from this form of investment are
as certain as any investment in these troubled
times can be. The theater and the new project
of the Wilmington Associates, Inc, who have
bought the Front street frontage, are good ex-
anples of this. The new front and interior i'm
provements under way at the S. and W. Grand
store is another. The costly addition to the
Cape Fear hotel, where work is being speeded
up, is another. In addition Ave new service
station projects are under way-each repre-
senting large expenditures-and another sta.
ton is to provide parking facilities as soon as
an old house adjoining Is demolished and
grading completed. Fully a dozen homes Of
the better sort are under construction in the
city and its immediate suburbs. We're figures
available they doubtless would show costs ex-
ceeding a million dollars.
This capital investment, whatever it is,
means payrolls. It means purchase Of building
materials. 1t means ~carting. It means reve-
nue. for many businesses-the butcher, the
baker, the grocer, the drygoods merchant,
through the larger spendings of workers en-
ployed on construction.
And it is not a boom, but the very opposite.
1t is a substantial movement based on sound
judgment. That adds weight to it.
thus encouraged, can well launch
forth on some of the major developments so
long envisioned by its forward-looking citizens.

Air Service Applications

Both the Canadian Colonial Anyways, Inc,
and Eastern Air Lines, Inc, have petitions be-
fore the Civic Aeronautics Authority for ex-
tensions which will include Wilmington as a
regular stop. Both would provide connections
at terminal points with planes servicing the en-
tire country. Both would offer Wilmington
quick transportation for passengers, mail and
express, the value Of which can be estimated
only by the experience of other cities thus
served.
It is safe to believe that no community in
America which has had the benefit of air serv-
ice would surrender it except under over
whelming compulsion. Air service has so well
established its usefulness that it is now accept
ed as an essential factor in Our economic sys-
tenn. 1t is no longer a luxury, but a necessity,
just as the automobile, the radio, the adding
machine, the linotype are necessities.
It is impossible at this time to believe that
either application now before the CAA for an
airway via Wilmington would be more advan-
ltageous than the other. Both appear to meet
the need in all essential details. Wilmington's
part lies in making its need for air service and
it's probable patronage so clear to Washington
authorities with the matter in charge that nc
unnecessary time will be lost in arriving at a
favorable decision for one or the other.
With Bluethenthal airport Improvements
moving forward to raise it to the high standard
required by the CAA, it is imperative that the
people of Wilmington use their strongest influ'
ence and greatest power for the bringing Of
air service to this city.

es tall, and was thought to be the tallest man
in the world, when he died at the age OF ~.
While he lived we average persons, inclined
as we are to admire size and strength, felt a
pity for Robert Wadlow. He was too tall. His
clothes and shoes were a problem to him.
Travelling was difficult for a man who had to
bend over in railway cars and who could not
find comfort in the usual run of hotel beds,
though what he liked best was seeing the coun-
try.
However, his short life was not an unhappy
one. Robert Wadlow earned his living by ap-
pearances before a curious public, but he was
not the usual type of freak by any means. In
many ways he was a natural and normal boy
who liked and enjoyed the things most young
sters of his age like and enjoy. Moreover.
people generally were kind to him.
At any rate, he turned what might have been
a handicap into an advantage. That is some
thing of an achievement. He did not rail at his
fate but accepted it and made the most OF it.
Not all of us can claim as much for lives ex-
tending far beyond his meager % years.

Editorial Comments
From Other Angles
Raleigh News And Observer

Tobacco growers will vote Saturday on three
proposals, no quotas, quotas for one year On
quotas for three years.
Reports from the field indicate that as q
practical proposition the only decision to be
made on Saturday will be whether quotas shall
be imposed for one year OF three as self-impo
sition Of compulsory control in one form or the
other by the necessary two-thirds majority
seems to be foregone conclusion.
AS between control for one period or anoth.
er, all theoretical questions concerning the
priciple of control are eliminated. A ques-
ton of that sort. can be, and should be, deter
mined on the basis of selfish best interest. On
that basis, the weight Of argument seems to be
overwhelmingly in favor of control for a period
of three years.
Tbs first question a grower should ask him.
self in approaching this question is whether
there is a likelihood that control will be needed
for the next three years. In view of the pres.
ent size of the surplus and the limited market
due to world conditions, it hardly seems pos
sible for any rover willing to vote for control
at all to answer that question except in the af-
frmative.
If it is conceded that control will be needed
for the next three years, the advantages of
voting it at one time instead of in three Sue
cessive annual elections are manifest. If con-
troll be voted now for the years 1941, 1912 and
1913 an element of certainty will be created
which will aid farmers in two ways. In the
first place, a marked tendency toward higher
prices will be created by removing from buy
ers the temptation to wait for an uncontrolled
crop and lower prices.
The elementary consideration ignored by al
most all opponents of tobacco marketing con-
troll is that while growers have the ability to in
crease the size Of a crop (they have never vol
UNFAIRLY decreased it except under the threat
of starvation prices), the growers cannot affect
the market tor their product. This year, there
are not enough buyers in prospect for even this
years crop, which is about half the size OF the
one produced in 1889. A large portion Of the
1910 crop must be financed by the United
States government. Authorized spokesman for
the government ave already announced the
governments policy for the 1910 crop. II no
quotas are voted, the government will not sup
port the market at all. If quotas are voted for
three years, the government will put enough
than those received last year, with the proba-
bility that prices per pound will be somewhat
higher. If control is voted for one year, the
governments support of the market will be
predicated on prices averaging about three
cents a pound lower than the 1889 average.
The difference between these two policies
will mean a difference of $14, 600, 900 in 1910 for
North Carolina growers alone.
In its simplest form, the question North Car
DINA growers will determine on Saturday is:
Do they wish to add $14, 600, 900 to their income
this year? ]

structed by Bryan, this before his
speech.
Controversy continues over the
wisdom of Bryan's resignation
from the Wilson cabinet because he
felt the policy adopted would carry
our country into war as it did,"
said Ambassador Daniels, who was
President Wilson'S secretary of the
navy.
II have always believed that he
should have remained with the
ship. Whatever may be the final
verdict of Bryan's course in those
troubled days, his government has
now approved his i~nsistence that
it was wiser for Americans not to
assert the right of travelling on
ships voyaging through the zone OF
war.
Bryan is indicated whereas in
1868 he was derided.
When passion has subsidized, the
historian will write Bryan's name
high among the great men who
followed Jefferson in the high Of
flee of secretary of state and as an
illustrious patriot who never sold
the truth to serve the hour. In con.
fdence in that verdict we gather
to do honor today to William Jen-
nlngs Bryan and pray that others
called to leadership will be as
steadfast in devotion to the COM
mon veal as the sincere and elo-
quent commoner."
