THE PILOT—Soulhern Pines. North Carolina
Highway Right Of
Way Procedures '
Explained ToLions
How the State obtains right of
way for building new highways, a
subject very much in the news re
cently, was explained to members
of the Southern Pines Lions Club
last Friday night by E. O. Brog-
den, local attorney and former as
sistant counsel in the State High
way Commission.
Brogden explained the old laws
of eminent domain and how it op
erates, and the newer ones that
had to be adopted because of the
state’s tremendous road-building
projects in the past decade.
He cited the various steps that
a landowner could take if he does
not agree with the State in the
ultimate cost of the land acquisi
tion and the procedures he must
take to obtain proper payment.
At the meeting W. O. Spence
and W. L. Baker gave a report on
the recent broom sale conducted
by the club for the benefit of local
blind work. The sale, they report
ed, was a tremendous success and
they thanked each purchaser for
his part in helping the drive.

FARM FEDERATION LEADER SAYS
Gasoline Tax Refunds Available To
County Farmers To Tune of $25,000
T. Clyde Auman, of West End,
president of the Moore County
Farm Bureau Federation, said to
day that if more farmers in this
county took advantage of a recent
piece of legislation, they would
save an estimated $25,000 this
year.
In a commi/nication to The
Pilot, Auman said that legislation
passed by the federal government
this year had made the savings
possible through tax refunds pay
able to farmers who use vehicles
in their work.
Auman’s letter, reprinted in
part, said;
“The farmer, no matter what
crop he grows, is a proprietor of
the land in the same way that a
businessman is the owner of an
industry.
“But for a long time the laws
of this country did not treat him
that way. It was only when farm
ers became organized that they
were able to get equal considera
tions with business and industry.

years there have been numerous
examples of these equalizing
forces at wor^. One of the more
recent is the equalization of farm
machinery tax with that on indus
trial equipment. A bill to do this
was sponsored by the North Caro
lina Farm Bureau in the last ses
sion of the General Assembly. It
has resulted in an annual saving
of $1 million to the state’s farm
ers.
“'The result of taxation is one in
which the abuses of mis-use often
appear. Probably the most fla
grant of all tax inequities, as far
as farmers were concerned, was
the levy in effect for many years
on farm u^ed gasoline. When the
original federal gasoline teix was
passed in 1932, as an emergency
measure, there were no provisio
for the exemption of fuel used in
farm machinery.
“But gasoline is a major source
of production supply.
“So ran Farm Bureau’s argu
ment favoring exemption of farm-
used gasolihe from federal tax.
Farmers through their Farm Bu
reau organization for a long time
contended that gasoline was to the
farm what diesel fuel is to the
railroads or what electricity is to
makers of aluminum.
“Therefore, gasoline used on the
farm, and all other non-highway
used gasoline, should not be taxed
for road-building purposes. It was
not until this last session of Con
gress that a bill was passed pro
viding for such exemptions.
“Farm Bureau made of this fed
eral tax a major issue in 1955
when a mammoth federal high
way building program was under
consideration by Congress. Legis
lators at the time were consider
ing a bill that would increase the
federal gasoline tax from two to
three cents per gallon highway
expansion. That bill was defeat
ed.
“A similar bill was passed this
year, however—after the federal
tax on non-highway used gasoline
was repealed. Press reports at the
time of the repeal indicated it
would save farmers over the na
tion in the neighborhood of $60
million, but those estimates did
not take into account the later tax
increase, to three cents per gallon.
“For Moore County farmers,
provided they file for the federal
tax refund, savings are estimated
at close to twenty-five thousand
dollars.”
FHA Operating
Loan Service Is
UndergoingChange
New legislation has increased
the number of farm families who
are eligible to obtain operating
loans from the Farmers Home
Administration, W. B. Hill, the
agency’s county supervisor, said
today. *
The new law increases the
maximum amount that can be
advanced, and as a part of the
Rural Development Program
makes loans available when the
farmer'has part-time employment
off the farm.
Operating loans are made for
the purchase of machinery, live
stock, equipment, fertilizer, seed,
tractor fuel and other farm and
home operating expenses.
Under this new law loans will
also be available to applicants
who have part-time employment
off the farm, provided they are
established farmers conducting
substantial farming operations
and spending the major portion
of their time farming.
The Farmers Home Adminis
tration county committee will
determine the eligibility of each
applicant. The committee is com
posed of three men, two of whom
must be farmers. In Moore Coun
ty the committeemen are W.
Ernest Horne, Route 3, Carthage;
Colin G. Spencer, Jr., Carthage;
and J. Sam Blue, Route 3, Car
thage.
Additional information regard
ing these loans may be obtained
at the Farmers Home Adminis
tration office in the basement of
the Courthouse in Carthage. The
office is open from 8 a. m. to 5
p. m. on Monday through Friday.
