more than its share
has been the noticeable jump in
“freight and shipping expenses.”
Since the war, freight costs have
increased about 250%.
IT MAY be surprising to the leg-
islators, but in several polls con-
ducted by weekly newspapers
around the state, the results have
indicated that the public believes
a sales tax would be the best way
for the state to solve its need for
additional revenue. The question
is whether the money would be
raised by income tax, sales tax, or
payroll tax. The public would pre-
fer taxing our natural resources,
but it doesn’t seem that sufficient
money can be raised by this route,
which has been tried time and
again.
UNTIL THE past few months,
Clifton has had an excellent record
over the past several years in re-
gard to burglaries. But this record
has been messed up during the
past three months. The public and
police officers will have to double
their efforts to discourage these
robberies in every way possible.
Following the talk Mrs. W. F.
Key Jr., president of the Magazine
Club, gave Mrs. Holmes a pot plant
of giant ivy from the club and then
invited those persons present to
the tea table'.
The table was spread with a cut-
work cloth of Irish linen and was
centered with an arrangement of
■white gladioli tied with red and
blue colors to carry out the theme
of George Washington’s birthday.
Each cake square was centered
with a pick holding a head of Uncle
Sam or a hatchet, and the ribbon
sandwiches were of red and white.
Mrs. V. D. Goodall served the cake,
and Mrs. Key presided at the silver
service.
The meeting adjourned following
the tea hour to meet on March 7
in the home of Mrs. O. E. Pierson.
