SALES TAX LIKaY
WILL BE CONTINUED
Yield Will Be Prime Factor
In Determining Its Fu
ture, However
Durham, Fob. 7 In the general
sales and turnovor taxes is soon tho
beginning of a now and important
form of taxation by tho American
states, Dr. B. TT. Ratchford, Duke un
iversity economist, declares in an ar
ticle in the Harvard Business Review.
“Tt is true* that two of these laws
are due to expire in 1034," says Dr.
Ratchford, "and that eight others will
terminate in 1935, but it is quite prob
able that, most of them wil be reenact
ed, perhaps with modifications.
"These taxes represent a desperate
effort by the states to include in
their revenue systems an element of
stability during periods of economic
stress. The first requirement of a
revenue system is that it yield ade
quate revenue. In gaining that end,
legislative bodies may sacrifice other
desirable characteristics. This situa
tion illustrates forcefully the fact that
those taxes which conform most close
ly to our present ideal of ability to
pay are the ones which fluctuate most
widely In their yield.
"Tn order to offset the effects of
such fluctuations at the present time
the sales tax is called into service.
The length and extent of its use will
probably lie determined hv its yield
rather than by considerations of its
fairness."
Map Is To Show

Dally niftpnO'h rtiirenn.
In Hie Sir Walter Hotel,
Raleigh, Feb. 7. Preliminary in
formation is being assembled by the
Department of Conservation and De
velopment for a map upon which will
be shown publicly owned areas in
North Carolina. R. Bruce Etheridge,
director of the department said to
Particular emphasis will be placed
in the study to those areas suit aMe
for further recreational development,
it he conservation director assorted.
One of its features will lie the various
game refuges and other areas upon
which wildlife protection is protected.
Tn addition to the state game re
fuges, it is planned that the map will
show the various federal lands a»
North Carolina, including the Na
tional Forests, tho Great Smoky
Mountains National Parks, National
Monuments, and the Cherokee In
dian Reservation ,as well as State
Parks. Another feature coivtcmpitat
c*d for the proposed map in brief in
formation regarding each tract.
Information concerning state game
refuges, Mr. Etheridge said, has been
requested by a national group known
as the President's Committee on Wild
Life Restoration, headed by Thomas
H. Beck, dhairmata and 'nationally
known publisher and conservation*
Ist.
Other features are contemplated, h«
continued, as a. ready reference and
for general future use. Because of the
limit of funds the conservation direc
tor said that the map will probably
•not be published immediately and
that there will be no copies for gen
eral distribution until facilities can he
found for its publication.
Compilation of the map will be un
der the direction of 11. p. Panto<n,
chief engineer of the division of water

fiNOW ao ON WITH THE STORY)
CHAPTER 12
LUCKILY Tiggie and Viola had
not far to go ere they found a cor
ner into which they were able to
wedge themselves, where it was com
paratively quiet and no drifting spray
could reach them.
“This is heavenly,” breathed Viola,
end he caw by the shifting light of
the moon which suddenly shone upon
her that she was smiling. “I didn't
want to stay below tonight."
•‘Why not?" he questioned in sur
prise.
"It would have been such-a shame
to have missed this.” she made an
swer. and he saw by her shining
•yes that she really meant it.
“I thought you'd probably bo
• afraid.” he said in his blundering
fashion.
"Oh no!” she said, hut she offered
no explanation for her absence of
sea r.
They dond in silence for a space.
They were almost entirely protected
from the wind, but they could hear
ihe waves pounding on the other side
«of the vessel and the creak of her
timbers as she rose and fell.
ft came to Tiggie at. length that
she was waiting for him to speak,
and he did so somewhat abruptly,
not without a touch of embarrass
ment.
“Well, you know what I want to
•all, to you about, don’t you?”
"Yes, you told me,” she said.
Her face was turned from him.
It was only now and then that he
could see it clearly, but she was close
to him, within touch of his hand,
and tpere was no reluctance in her
tittitude. She was evidently waiting
for him to proceed.
He did so, still not wholly at his
ease though still assuring himself
that the situation held no difficulties.
“Well, look here! You tell me you’re
going to stay with the Rutherfords.
But you can’t do that indefinitely!”
“Oh no!" she said. “Only for a
few weeks.”
“And then what?” said Tiggie.
“I don’t know," she said. "That’s
as far as I can see."
Tiggie turned upon her squarely.
“You can’t go on like that." he said.
She made a slight gesture of help
lessness. “Are we meant to do any
thing else?" she raid.
He felt again that curious sense as
of being pierced; it was the effect
her forlornness always had upon him.
"You can’t,” he said again. “There’s
too much at stake. There’s” —lie
spoke with conscious effort —“the
child. Do yon mind telling me when
you’re expecting—the child?”
“Oh. not yet,” she said.- "Not yet—
for a long time!”
"When?” persisted Tiggie.
She hesitated, and he had a feel
ing t.h3t she did not want to tell him.
But eventually her answer came.
"My hahy will come In September. 1
shall have found—some way out by
then.”
“You can’t count on that.” said
Tiggie. “Things won’t get any easier
for you. You’ve got to think ahead
—make some provision."
"Oh. T know!” she said. “But
what?” He caught a note of desper
ation in her voice, but she went on
rapidly before he could answer.
“What’s the good of it? It doesn’t
lead to anything. One only gets
scared.”
Her voice seemed to die into the
desolation of the night. She looked
absurdly small in the enshrouding
waterproof, like a white moth biding
from the tempest.. Tiggie was aware
of a distinct strufgle within himself
before he spoke, but against what
impulse he made resistance he could
not definitely have said. Only she
was so young, «o pathetic; one was
apt to forget that she was anything
more than a child who had strayed
away into the wilds.
"There’s nothing to get scared!

about," lie said gruffly at length.
“I’ve said all along that I’ll help you,
and so 1 will."
She glanced up at him. "I've been
so afjraid—all along—that you'd feel
obliged to do that.” she said.
“Oh!" said Tiggie with a swifl
flash of intuition. "That’s why
you’ve tried to avoid me so often, is
it?”
She littered her faint, protesting
laugh. “Well, of course 1 don’t want
you to feel—like that.”
“But,, my dear child, why not?”
said Tiggie with sudden force, “you
say we’re meant to drift on from one
stage to another without looking
ahead. f sav we're meant to help
each other along. And if you ask
me I think mine is the more prac
tical policy of the two.”
“You are so-workman like,” said
Viola.
“I mean to he," he answered. “Up
to now there hasn't been much point
in trying to come to any decision.
But now—now, when we are only a
day or two off home, we’ve got to
consider things, and make some sort
of provision for the future. You say
you haven’t said anything to the
Rutherfords?"
“Not very much.” She hesitated
slightly. "Dr. Rutherford did ask me
one day what my plans were. I said
—I said I should go into the country
quietly somewhere—and wail for my
husband.”
“But you’re not. expecting him?”
said Tiggie sharply.
“Oh no! T don’t, think —I shall
ever see him again.” She spoke as
one uttering a fact long since faced
and accepted. “But I said I would
slay with them for a few weeks as
T wasn’t in any hurry to get any
where, and I would help them to set
tle down somewhere. Mrs. Ruther
ford seemed to think it would make
a difference.”
“Os course it would make a differ
ence!” said Tiggie. “But—you know,
you ought to he paid if you’re going
to take on this sort of job.”
“Oh, but not. for such a little
while!” she said. “Dr. Rutherford
said the same, but T simply couldn’t
think of it. So he said—he said he
would make it up to me later, when
the baby came.”
“I see!” said Tiggie with a certain
grimness. “But they don't know you
haven’t any money, and they haven’t
any of their own to spare.”
She made a quick movement of
protest. “1 wouldn’t take it from
them.” she said, “if they had.”
“You’ll have to take it from some
one.” said Tiggie* bluntly. “You’ve
got to live, you know.”
“J may die," said Viola simply.
He turned upon her with a sudden
anger that surprised himself. “You’ll
do nothing of the kind!” he said.
“So stop talking about 11! You’ve
got. to have money to carry on with.
That’s certain. And you're not going
o take it from the Rutherfords.

he had never befote believed himself

But when she spoke at Inst. he. was
assailed by swift concern, for he

words. “Captain Turner, if—if 1
