JANUARY 31. 1935 Assembly Finance Groi May Remove $10 Lin Of State Sales Tax La Members of Committee Seem to of Opinion that Limit Is Unfair Limitation Brought About by Automobile Dealers. Raleigh, N. C.?The present p vision in the sales tax law that 1 maximum sales tax collectable on a purchase shall not exceed $10 v probably be removed from the pr ent revenue bill by the joint Senj and House finance committees, mc hers of both committees intimal ncre uriuay. rne uiougnt or mosi the committee members seems to that if the sales tax is to be lev on cheap foods and everything e sold at retail, that it should also levied on all retail sales in excess $333 as well as up to that point. Under the present law, if a worn buys a $1,000 fur coat or a $1,C diamond ring, she pays only $10 sa tax or at a rate of one per cent stead of 3 per cent. Or if a man bn a $2,000 automobile, he pays only $ sales tax, which is a rate of only oi half ol} one i>-=t cent. In fact, it generally understood that t S10 limitation was put in the prest sales tax law largely through the < forts of the automobile dealers in t State who contended that if the t was made a straight 3 per cent, t it would drive business to dealers other states where no sales tax charged. If the $10 sales tax limitation removed, however, as Is now like it is expected that a provision vs be included to require that whene\ an automobile owned applies for a cense he must show a certificate 1 vealing that the sales tax has be paid, and if he does not possess su a certificate, he will be required, pay the sales tax before he can c tain a license. This plan, it is undt stood, will present persons living this State from buying automobiles other states to avoid payment of t sales cax, since they will have to p; the sales tax anvwav before thov c: obtain a license.

MOLASSES MAKES GOOll SUBSTITUTE FOR COH A moderate amount of cane im-it ses, or black strap, may be subs tuted for corn in feeding dairy c? tie when com prices are high, sa John A. Arey, extension dairyman State College. Although not as valuable, pound f pound, as com mi M, he say3, the in lasses will serve as well as corn wh a moderate amount is used and litl or no difference will be seen in t milk flow. "In one feeding test," he said, "i found that 4 4-f> gallons of molasE had the same milk producing val as a bushel of shelled corn. We al found'that molasses acts as a toi for the animals." From a fourth to a third of a g Ion of molasses is the proper da ration, Arey points out. Many daii man find it advantageous to give t animals one pint at each feeding. When not too thick, it may poured over the silage, grain, or hi If it is very thick, it may be dilut with water and then poured over t feed with satisfactory results. Molasses is palatable to cattle, says, and will increase the anims appetite for the feeds on which it poured, particularly low grade rouj age.

So * are the pians of the powerful bloC3 in Congress, some of which have j( lle ideas which do not tally with those t of Mr. Roosevelt. t ? There will he a lot more give-and- r 1 ' take between the Executive and the , v f Legislative Departments of the Fed- 0 oral Government than there was last r ln season. There will be compromises on f lr both sides, and much less of the ap- 0 pearanee, at least, of a supine Con- v gress taking orders from the White J c "" House. But the smart observers here '] wlio know wliat the President wants e and what the temper of Congress is h on many important topics, look for- s J (ward to ultimate legislation which s will, in tiie main, tally wltU the i'ree E ider.t's wishes, although there may be ; ? some loud and bitter debates before t it is all accomplished. They also an- ( ticipatc none of the projects which j 'r~ do not have the White House O. K.

Old Age Pensions The old age insurance advocates ire prepared to put powerful prasure or Congress to adopt the Townicnd Plan of $200 a month ,-o- everyway over 60 years of age.

Some form of old ige insurance, tnough probably not. n the form of a direct Federal grant, s likely to be adopted. It probably vill be administered by the Federal government, but the fund will be nade up of percentages deducted 'ro:r. wages, contribntionn hv employ rs and grants by states.

Other farm region members are urging the AAA to put a tax on every potato patch above a given size, to raise the price of spuds. Senator Glass is expected to head a vigorous fight against the confirmation of Marriner Eccles as Governor of the Federal Reserve Eoard, and he is expected to have the backing of other Senators who don't think well of the Administration's apparent purpose to subordinate the Comptroller of the Currency of the Federal Reserve.
