er ESQ to say) 1t was general
class and communion. What a
joy and pleasure to be in such a
service. The Holy spirit was
surely present on that day. The
songs, the testimonials, were up
lifting and especially the solo by
Mrs. Hayes, "The Lord Will Pro-
vide" and also Mrs. White "Pre-
ciious Lord" In speaking of the
Hayes, one can not help think
that Rev. Hayes is doubly blessed
with such lovely family, a good
Christian wife, son and daughter,

young girl, who sings, plays and

when one is endowed with many
talents, they become self conceit-

others with little help from the
ones she has to deal with, she will
be very outstanding young wo-

KEEP them always sweet and kind

State Tax Revenues
Boom 10 Record Of
Nearly 5Bi||ions
Stotes Of Washington ond
Arizona Up 40 and
30%, Respectively

The war boom is pushing State
tax collections to an all-time high.
During the fiscal year ending June
30 taxes produced nearly $4,000, ,000,-
900 of State income, surprising all
previous totals and 10 per cent
greater than the amount collected
the preceding year, Census Bureau
report disclosed today.
The State of Washington reported
a 40 per cent gain over 194l and
Arizona an increase of 80 per cent.
Six other States showed an increase
of more than 20 per cent In their
total tax collections. These six are
Mississippi, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Oregon, South Carolina and Ten
nessee.
Tax collections in Virginia during
the fiscal year 1912 totaled s75,332,-
600, a gain of nearly $4,000, 900 over
l941. Collections in Maryland
amounted to 2,495 900, as COM
pared with $62,147 900 last year.
Some Rates Reduced.
Unlike Federal taxes, which were
sharply increased last year, the
level of State taxation has not been
raised and some States have re-
duced rates.
Corporation taxes netted the
State $269, 900, 900 in revenue during
the fiscal year. 1912, an increase of
81 per cent over 1941 collections
from this source. Individual in
come taxes did not reflect the i'm
pact of the war program to the
same extent as corporation taxes,
for collections from this source only
increased 145 per cent over 194l.
Tobacco smokers In 1912 paid %
per cent more in excises than they
did in 1941. Collections from alco-
holic beverage taxes increased Is
per cent to reach a el942 total Of
$25o, 100000.
Sales Tax Revenue Up.
General sales taxes produced
1927 100000 in revenue for the
States, a gain of nearly II per cent.
Thirteen years ago collections from
sales taxes amounted to barely over
s., 900, 900.
Rejecting the countrys growing
prosperity and increasing employ
ment, net collections from State un-
employment compensation levies
showed 20 per cent gain over the
194l totals. There was little change
during the year in collections from
taxes on motor fuels and from motor
vehicle and operator licenses.
Revenue from some taxes declined

Bureau report. Chain store tax col

Meat Packers Ask Ceiling
On Live Hogs and Cattle
hy the Assorjatpd Press.

By the Associated Press.
Meat packers who said they spoke
for 200 local and independent proc
essors in the eastern half of the
country appealed to the Agriculture
Department today for aid in get
ting a ceiling on prices of live hogs
and cattle
Wilbur Laroe. jr.. counsel for the
packers, told Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Grover B. Hill that the
margin between hog and cattle
prices and the Governments ceiling
prices on processed meat products
had narrowed to a point where
many small packing concerns faced
bankruptcy.
Mr.. Laroe said price ceilings set by
the Office of Price Administra alton
on pork products were based on
top hog price of s13.l5 per 100
pounds, Chicago basis. Since those
ceilings were set. prices OF hogs have
advanced to above sl4.50 without a
corresponding increase in the cell
ing prices of meat products, he said
George A. Casey, president OF the
conference of packers, asserted that
large packing firms could pay the
advanced hog prices and sell under
OPA ceilings because they could
meet Government specifications for
meats and absorb any losses from
large cash reserves and profits made
from dairy, poultry and other lines.

dustrial machinery were extended
today to cover all orders for single
unit of new woodworking, sawmill
and logging equipment costing more
than $3.50
Increasing use of plywood and
other woods in aircraft, boats and

wood an important factor in the
war program. WPB explained. The
amendment to the machinery order,
effective Immediately. prohibits the
sale of woodworking, sawmill and
logging machinery except upon "ap-
proved orders" Such orders are
those of the Army and Navy, certain
other Federal agencies, United Ma
tions and lease-lend orders, and GER
tain orders carrying military priority
ratings.
Manufacturers and distributors

proved category may apply to WIPE
