New Saleu Tax Plan
Comedy, tragedy, strategy and
beauty relief were given in the Gen
eral Assembly circles last week by
the wet-dry forces, the “beauticians”
and other groups, but the serious
business continued to be centered in
the Finance committee handling the
revenue matters, and the Appropria
tions committee, both of which were
battling all the week with trouble
some matters.
The Finance committee had before
it early in the week amendments
coming from the McDonald-Lump-
kin proposals to eliminate the sales
tax, and the joint committees heard
from many groups during the five
days of hearings. Several corporations
and other groups opposed the amend
ments on the ground that they would
throttle industries and activities in
the state.
Directors of the N. C. Merchants
it up. It will probably receive a fav
orable report, but the Ssnate vote on
it will be close, that body being about
50-50 on it, apparently.
Out Go Slot Maohlneft
The law outlawing slot machines
was enacted. A bill to postpone its
becoming effective until May 31,
when the tax year ends, instead of at
once, was promptly tabled by the
House. Commissioner of Revenue
Maxwell cited that the licenses were
issued and refunding it prohibited it
the operation is later prohibited. Op
erators have no come-back. How^
ever, reports are that in many places
the machines are still operating.
Drivers’ License Ijiw
The automobile drivers’ licen.'-.e law
passed the House and went back to
the Senate for concurrance in minor
House amendments. 'I'he bill to vacci-
Asaociation, led by Willard L. Dow- J doga against rabies will be con-
I ell, secretary, endorsed the McDon- ^ Wednesday. The one to vac-
I aUl-Lumpkin plan "in purpose and ' six months old children against

I adopted at a meeting here; before t*>nietrisls and photographers bills

I leader of the plan, appeared. The pro- liability on bank stock may be re

Divergent views are expro.ssed on
progress of the McDonald-Lumpkin
plan, some saying it is gaining in
favor with the committee, others that
it is losing ground. Just how much
of it, if any, or all, will be adopted,
is yet to be seen. Hope is expressed
that the Revenue measure can be
reported out of committee by the end
of this w'eek, but many doubt if that
can be done.

Appropriation Measures
The Appropriations committee,
meanwhile, have almost finished their
work and with occasional hearings of
groups—a new one on $25,000 for the
N. C. Symphony Orchestra, now sup
ported by federal funds—:s marking
time. It has approved appropriations
of two or three million dollars more
than the Budget Commission recom-
men(Jled, and may have to back-track.
However, the Revenue and Appro
priations groups will attempt to
strike an estimated balance.
The Hill Bill
Interesting aftermaths ar« develop
ing from the hearing last week on the
Senator Hill liquor control 'oil!. For
mer Governor - Senator Cameron
Morrison, as chief spokesman for the
drys, jumped on Senator R. R. Rey
nolds, who defeated him, and the
Young Democrats, who, he thinks,
contributed to that defeat.
Later a joint resolution inviting Mr.
Morrison to address a joint session
of the assembly was proposed. The
Senate adopted it with one "no” vote
aft»er questions of what he would talk
about were answered by "national af
fairs.” In the House his Young Dem
ocrat references were repeated, and
amendments were proposed. One was
to have him speak Saturday night,
when the legislators v^'ere away.
Another would include former Gov-
y ^snors McLean and Gardner in the
invitation. It was adopted, however,
naming the time as 8:30 o'clock Wed
nesday night of this week.
The largest group yet to attend a
..hearing was that on the Hill liquor
bill. Proponents were in the minority.
A heated debate continued for more
than two hours. The committee de
cided to wait until this week to take

171 Bills I'asst'd
In the 46 days since the session
convened, up to Saturday about 675
bills hatl been introduced and 171 had
been passed, including public, public-
local and private laws and resolutions.
The House had received 445, of which
111 had been passed, and the Senate
230, of which 60 had been passed. A
spurt of new bills Friday caused
lawmakers to wonder if they are real
ly going to get to go home by April
1, which ha.s been a favorite guess up
to this time.
A dozen public bills and resolu
tions and 71 local and private laws
have been enacted within the past
two weeks. In this time public bills
that have become law follow: $3,000,-
000 for immediate road and bridge
work; outlawing slot machines; al
lowing Historical Commission to re
ceive gifts; providing time for dock
eting appeals from J. Ps.; reducing
refund to applicants for law licenses
who fail, allowing compensation and
expense to law examining board
members, councillors and disbarment
committees; allowing Conservation
and Development board to regulate
fishing appliances and apparatus;
validating real estate sales made by
administrators; validating judgments
under which sales of contingent re
mainders have been made; amend law
on dutie.s of solicitors in discharge of
State witnesses; amendment to fix
venue in actions on sales of real es
tate to make assets; amend law on
domesticating foreign corporations.
Fanners Get Much More For
1L34 Tobacco Than in ’33,
Despite Acreage Cut
Crop values for 1934 placed
North Carolina third in rank
among the states. Tobacco, the
state's major money crop, brought
$122,142,000, an increase of 41
percent over the 1933 value and
^45 percent increase over 1932.
This is significant in view of the
25 percent decrease in the acreage
harvested last year.
The flue-cured tobacco siUiation
shows much improvement compar
ed with a year ago. With July 1st
stocks in the United States esti
mated at 770,000,000 pounds and
i‘(;reign stocks of United States
flue-cured estimated at 580,000,000
pounds, the total carry-over into
the 1934-35 marketing season
amounted to 1,350.000,000 pounds.
The carry-over, combined with the
1934 flue-cured pi'oduction of 564,-
520,000 pounds, makes the total
supply 1.915,000,000 pounds which
is about 4 percent below the sup
ply a year earlier. The consump
tion of United States flue-cured to
bacco during the i^'ar ending June
30, 1934 showed little change from
the preceding year.
The average price of producers’
sales for the entire season to date
was $28.46, as compared with
$15.93 on this date last season. A
total of 394,994,876 pounds of pro
duce of producers' tobacco has
been .sold in the state. All mar
kets are closed at this date.

The Car Without Experiments
There’s never any doubt about value when
you buy a Ford car. You know it’s all right
or Henry Ford wouldn’t put it out. One thing
that never changes is his policy of dependable
transportation at low cost.
That’s the biggest feature of the New Ford.
The reliability and economy of its V-8 engine
have been proved on the road by upwards of
1,400,000 motorists. Owner cost records show
definitely that the Ford V-8 is the most
economical Ford car ever built.
