MANN SAYS FARMERS DO NOT
MAKE ENOUGH MONEY FOR TAXES

Raleigh, Dec. - Most North
Carolina farmers fail to pay
state income taxes simply be-
cause they don't make enough
money, M. G.. Mann of Raleigh
declared here recently in answer
to recent criticism of farmers by
the State Revenue Department.
Mann, who is general manager
of the Farmers Cooperative Elk
change and the N. G. Cotton
Growers Association, said the
average Tar Heel farmers in
come still leaves much to be de-
sired even though farm prices
have taken a turn for the better
in postwar years.
Last week the Revenue De.
partment reported that out of
$780, 900 income tax returns filed
| in 1916, farmers turned in only
1O,24S.
In defending farmers, Mann
said recent study released by
the Institute for Research in
Social Science at Chapel Hill
showed North Carolina ranking
10th in the nation in total cash
farm income with an average per
farm of $2,449 in 1949.
Since this is a gross income
figure" Mann continued, pro
duction expenses, depreciation,
and other allowable costs would
have to be deducted before the
net income could be determined.
This, of course, would throw the
net income we'll under the $4,000
exemption the state allows a
married person"
Latest available figures show
that AZ per cent, or almost one
half, of North Cardinals farm
population is composed of ten
ants and sharecroppers, usually
low income group, the Raleigh
farm leader said.
At the same time, Mann add
ed, land holdings among individ
ual farm owners are compare
lively small, the average farm
in this state having under cult
walton less than rs acres.
"When we consider these fact
ors," the coop manager declared,
1--WE can see why the net income
of North Carolina farmers is
small. We must not overlook,
either, the great rise in produc.
ton costs since the close of
World War II. Farmers now are
paying much more for their fer
tilizer, seed, and other supplies
needed to turn out crops and
livestock. At the same time, farm
commodity prices have not in
creased in the same proportion"
Mann said there may be some
cases of farmers failing to file
income tax returns when they
should, but for the most part

We do not wish to advocate turn
ing our backs on our military forces
who are in great peril and just having
a Merry, Merry Christmas anyway.
But with our holiday season, take time
to forget your own heavy problems.
Recember that if you are alive and

which you should be happy and reason
for having Merry Christmas.
Some of you have sons, husbands or
fathers fighting the Chinese commun-
ist hords in miserable cold weather in
strange land. During this birthday
season of Jesus Christ, remember their
great peril and enjoy your Merry
Christmas with prayerful word for
their deliverance back to you.
With these not so pleasant
thoughts in mind, make the 1850
Christmas season happy one. 1t may
we'll be the last under our present way

KNOW THE FACTS

If recent survey made of group
of high school seniors produced typical
views, American education is giving
the student highly erroneous idea OF
how American industry operates and
the size of the profits it earns.
These seniors were asked to esti-
mate how much profit the average
company makes. Their answers aver
aged SO per cent. The true figure, COW
ering a long period of years, is about
six per cent.
They were asked to estimate the
average investment per worker in A
merican industry. Their figure was
$S1-while the proper answer would
have been $4,000!
They estimated that the annual re-
turn to industry's stockholders aver
ages "a per cent. Actually, it was three
per cent on net assets in 1949-which
was good year for practically all lines
of enterprise.
The same seniors, by a margin of
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1950-12-20

81 per cent, then said that they favor
ed closer government regulation OF
business as against free competition
whereas it is, really free competition
that keeps profits and prices down.
The point of all this is that ignor-
ance and misunderstanding do more
than anything else to create distrust
of free enterprise. A man who honestly
believes that business makes extortion-
ate profits and operates solely for the
benefit of a group of bloated pluto
Gratis, is a man ripe for the phony
blandishm :: IS of the socialists and the
communists. Those who would destroy
free enterprise and free government
have small concern with the truth.
They make the most of every miscon-
ception that exists in the public mind.
Only those who know the facts can
make intelligent decisions. And the
place to start teaching those facts is in
our schools and colleges.

We take great deal of pleasure in
getting out this Christmas edition. 1t
has somewhat strained our production
capacity but we wanted to give every
local business an opportunity to wish
you good people of the area a Merry,
Merry Christmas.
With the war situation keeping
everyone little nervous and in state
of nervous tension, it is going to be
little harder than usual to enjoy this
Christmas season. You just don't seem
to be able to get in the spirit of Christ
mas when you realize that hundreds
of our fighting men are facing and
have been facing for some time, one of
the most destructive wars in our his
tory. Furthermore, there are many eli
gible service men among the reading
public and they can't get the fullest
enjoyment out of Christmas realizing
that Just around the corner may be
their draft call.
But, nevertheless, it is fine that we
have a country that still celebrates the
birthday of the Christian saviour dur
ing a time of economic and military
chaos. In the end, the solution of the
nations problems may lay with the
turning to powers higher than mortals
for the answer. Our statesmen, Pol1t1-

"it's a case of not making enough
money to file"
He said further: 1.-THE farmer
is a businessman in the same
way a merchant, for instance,
is. If a business doesn't make
enough money after deducting
yearly operating expenses, it
doesn't pay income tax.

lima farmers were able to file re-
turns"

the Soviets are back to their ole
trick again of jamming airplane
radio reception in the North Pa

Some pilots say it has increased

attempt to block Voice of America

Russia.
In Seattle, an airlines Spokes-

going on for two years or so off

what other purpose it has"

not been paid off on a bet he
made with them. The news dealer
subsequently made a So bet with
