Raleigh. Sept. 3.-Thc State phC-
n"mcnal general fund surplus WAS
further decreased by August culicc-
lions. as shown by the monthI% re-
port made public by the Revenue de-
partmcnt Thursday. Receipts for the
month exceeded four and Il half mil
lion dollars, topping last August by
S39I.T7.5l. or 1873 pcrcc-i. Every
schedule into which the Gcncral fund
is brackctcd showed substantial gain
over the previous year, except privi-
lego and intangiblcS taxes. Collections

items which cannot be estimated.
were way up.
The general sales tax yielded ST.

than last August and S3OO.0OO above
receipts for the same month in 1871.

August is normally low month far
income taxes, but the S253,707 As
taken i'll this year was far above
l942 and more than two and a half
times receipts FOR August, 1871.
Leverage taxes also fell off from
lhc earlier part of the current calcn-
der year but exceeded August re-
ccipts for several years past.
Receipts from gasoline, both road
tax ard inspection fees, showed the
same downward trend that HIS pre-
vailed for more than year. Despite
this continued decline, the weld from
this source still exceeded two mil
lion dollars for Augusta. 995. O98. =
ID from the road tax and Sll3,547.6 5
from inspection fees.
Somewhat surprising in view of the
situation with respect to gasoline
taxes. tho Motor Vehicles department
shows incrc.sc in every bracket for
a total of S2G7,272.69 as compared
with S203, 3352l. This division re-
turned nearly $4,000 more than il
yielded in August of 1911 before any
sort of rationing or freezing. Main
increase is in the bus and franchise
item.
1t is interesting 10 note that not
understanding the frozen automobiles
market, SIZES of automobile licenses
were up about $4,000 over last Au-
gust. drivers license receipts up S4,-
GOO and title fees up about $4,000.
These items all fell below the 1871
figures. but when bus and franchise
collections are Included the depart
ment shows Il substantial increase
over the prc-Pcarl Harbor August.
Continued decline in Schedule B

this correspondence few days ago.
The last General Assembly reduced
the rate on several classes OF bust

Some of them had thought mat the
beverage tax also would drop. They
had expected To- rccoup any loss in
these brackets by enlarged income
receipts. The expected rise in in
come occurred, but there was also u
continued rise in the other items.
with The result that the general fund

Germs the Cause
There is no such thing as food
poisoning in the sense that the
food deteriorates and generates n
poison, what used to be called
"ptomaine" poisoning. I say this
on no less authority than that of
DR.. ID. Y. Whipple at as recent a
date as 1911 in "Hygcia."
What docs occur is food con-
tamination with germs, and that
gives the symptoms of food poi
soning. And the only common
form OF food contamination that
occurs in the temperate zone to
food that is kept as leftover is
from the germs of the staphy-
locOccus and the salmonella group
and neither Of these is dangerous
if you get plenty of water in the
patient.
Mostly they are nice, mild little
illnesses, never fatal, that make
you the center Of attraction to the
whole neighborhood, clean you out
thoroughly, put you on a forced
reducing diet, and send you back
to work looking younger and Slim
mcr than ever.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Mrs. NJ: For what purpose are
eye drops containing boric acid
and neutral glyccrine used? Is
diabetes cause Of cataract?
Answer: Boric acid and glyccr-
inc eye wash are purely for
cleansing purposes. Cataract is a
frequent complication of diabetes.
T.. S.: Is it harmful to take
Scconal and Luminal regularly?
It seems hard for me to sleep
without.
Answer: Certainly: these are
narcotics, likely to be habit-form-
ing, dull the mind and impair di-
gestion. You will get sleep all
right without them if you have
confidence in your ability to sleep.

ROOD FIGHTS FOR FREEDOMM!"

denly, rather than face the charges.
The FEPC can stay on the job
only if it has adequate funds with
which to operate. Congress has
control of those funds. The people,
the voters, control congress.
1t is, therefore, up to the citi-
zens, the voters, the taxpayers to
see that congress appropriates
enough funds for the FEPC to
carry on its program-our pro-
gram.
The FEPC needs $487,000 year
to operate. It has only $4,000
on hand now. It will not be long
before the committee must go be-
fore congress for a new appropria-
ton.
Upon the action of congress will
depend the fate of the committee.
In several instances congress has
"killed" race relations bureaus of
government agencies simply by re-
fusing to appropriate money for
those bureaus. The same method
can be used by congressman not in
sympathy with the FEPC program
to force that independent agency
out of existence.
Congressman like Rep. Starnes
of Alabama and Rep. .Wiggles-
worth of Massachusetts, must be
prevented by the citizenry from
denying the FEPC the funds that
it needs. Both are on the house
appropriations committee. Both
were loud in their condemnation of
race relations bureaus at hearings
last year.
Negroes who are Democrats and
newspapers which are Democratic
must begin now to tell their Demo-
cratic congressman that they must
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1943-10-15

wise, Negroes who are Republicans
and newspapers which are Repub-
lican must start now to influence
their representatives in congress
to give the FEPC the money it
needs.
There are many Starneses and
Wigglesworths in the congress.
There also are congressman and
senator's who are as fair-minded
and just as public officials should
be. It is up to the citizens to see
that the minded congressman
speak out in committee hearings
which usually are dominated by
southern congressman like Starnes.
1t was a long, hard job to get the
FEPC created and into action. It
must be kept at work, no matter
what the cost. It has served us
we'll. We must now do our share.
