two flyers and injuring five.
The dead and injured were men,

Tax Appeals Board Upheld
In Market Value Ruling

The United States Court OF Ap-
peals yesterday held that the Dis
trict Board of Tax Appeals was
right in ruling that property should
be assessed at market value for the
purpose of levying the inheritance
tax
The court thereby rejected a con-
tention that the inheritance tax
should be based on the valuation
placed on property for real estate
tax purposes.
The ruling was made in connec-
tion With ar estate of the late Willis
w. Fisher, a retired Government
employe, who died in May, 1916.
The widow, Mrs. Mary I. Fisher,
who died in October, 1946, filed an
inheritance tax return based on her
three-fourths interest in property,
her share of which had been assessed
at s22,278 for the real estate tax.
For the computation of inheritance
tax, however, the property had been
assessed at $37, ,125, it was said. The
total difference in tax amounted to
only little more than SLIT, accord
ing to figures.
The Court of Appeals opinion was
written by Justice Wilbur K. Miller.
Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner
and Justice E. Barrett Prettyman
heard the case with Justice Miller.

Early in the holiday, a small boy

works stand zeal St. Louis. In the re-
sultant explosion, six persons were in
jured and hundreds thrown into panic.
North Carolina is free of this dan
ger this year because a conscientious
legislature weighed the so-called pleas
ures and amusements of pyrotechnics
against their dangers to youngsters
and found them wanting. Despite con-
siderable protest, the legislators made
it unlawful to manufacture or sell them
within the state. The business is not
profitable enough to encourage much
b~ootlegging. So, not a single death or
serious injury of a Tar Heel youth was
charged to the dangerous playthings
this Fourth of July. Many a youth and
his parents owe the legislators their
thanks for that good situation.

Keep An Eye On The Budgets

achieve victory over a powerful,
ruthless enemy.
But the war is over and it is
time to return to greater concern
over the figures following the dollar
marks in public appropriations. That
is even more applicable locally than
nationally. Counties and municipali-
ties are now preparing their budgets
for the 1947-48 fiscal year. Usually,
their officials are quite frank in dis
closing what is being asked or plan
ned in expenditures. Most give the
public the opportunity to see what
is going on. But the disturbing thing
is that, all too often, the public's at
titude is one of cool Indifference.
1t should not be that way if it wants
the most economical government pos
sible without damage to the num-
erous public services.
The taxpayer should be just as
interested in the budgets as he is
in the operations and functions Of
his governments. After all, he is
the one paying the bills. Whether
they are in line depends greatly IN
his acquaintance with the proposed
appropriations, plus his interest and
ability in impressing their makers
with his desire to get the most for
his tax dollar.

New Hanover Leads The Wa,

Sometime ago the State Planning
board conducted a survey of vocational
education with the result that it dis
closed an alarming lack Of vocational
training and guidance in the public
schools. In addition, it also revealed
a tremendously wide gap between vo-
c~atlonal opportunities as CO m p a e d
with the occupational desires Of North
Carolina youth.
The survey sought the answers to
two important questions. They were:
How many and what types Of voca-
tional skills are required to meet the
needs Of North Carolina agriculture,
commerce and industry?
10 what extent are these needs be-
ing met by the states present voca-
tional program?
Among the high points of the sur
vey's revelations were:
Less than one per cent Of the boys
plan to enter employment in textile
mills, tobacco factories or furniture
plants whereas these three industries
comprise Is per cent of all industrial
employment.
More than % per cent Of all the
High school boys plan professional ca
reers, although only 80 per cent of the
non-agricultural employment in the
state consists of the professions.
There is an increasing demand in
NORTH Carolina industry for technical
ly trained employees, but only a neglig-
ibla :rogram Of training in this field
Is available.
Only % per cent of the boys and
only Sc per cent Of the girls received
any type of vocational training what
soever, and that largely agricultural
and home economics, whereas 80 per

girls said they would like to have such
training.
