QUOTES VANCE In his discussion of the tactics of "Big Business" in making the sur vival of the little fellows an eco j nomic impossibility, Clarence Dar ; row, in his report published yester ' day, quotes North Carolina's fa ! mous Governor and Senator, Zebu- I lon Baird -Vance, to illustrate his point. The report reads: "Big Business begins by making it impossible for the small man to survive; and, after he is eliminated, it'turns upcn the weakest of the common aggressors. "We are reminded of some re marks made by Senator Vance, of North Carolina, many years ago, who said that: " 'At one time the question was up in the State Legislature as to I what sort of fish should stock their streams. One enthusiastic member suggested the carp, for the reason that they drove out all other fish, and ended up by eating each oth- S er\" o Deposits of 5.375 licensed na i tional banks total $18,918,931,000. TGHT ABOUT SALES TAX IS BECOMING MORE INTENSE (Continued from vase °ne) The sales tax should be the last— ot the first—resort as a source of Itate revenue," he wrote. "When proper readjustments in ur tax system have been made, the :reat mass of our people will heerfully accept the sales tax as in emergency measure, if found to >e necessary to maintain govern nental services and our public chools," Mr, Brummitt wrote. The levy was tied up completely vith the plan for state support of he eight months school term, and s was that tie-up which provided nost of the final legislative sup port necessary to secure its pas sage. Proponents of the tax doubt ers will use the state support of schools as a talking point during the coming fight. Mr. Brummitt, in his letter, also brought in the schools, citing the fact that the average salary for a North Carolina teacher is S6B per mcnth. He advocated that the basis be increased so that it would be possible for this state to receive a larger grant from the Federal gov ernment. North Carolina's grant this year was $500,000, made on ;he basis of S6B monthly for teach ers. The Attorney-General also said he did not favor a return to proper ty taxation for State support of the i eight months school term. Mr. Brummitt wrote: "The sales tax recaptures from | the great mass of the people the taxes of which they have been re lieved by reductions in their pro perty'taxes. The franchise tax on tailroads recapture from that class that class of corporations the taxes of which they were relieved by re ductions on their property. The franchise tax of the Revenue Act of 1933 does not so recapture from powerful and prosperous business corporations the taxes of which they were relieved. "Essential justice requires that changes made in cur tax sys tem. Basing such franchise tax on! market value of stock, or net in-, come, as New York dees, would re capture some part of taxes of j which they (foreign corporations) I have been relieved . . . compensate | in some measure for the failure to j assess corporate excess against! foreign corporations; and place the. great mass of the corporations, es-1 pecially domestic ones, on a more | equitable taxation basis. Substan-1 tial additional revenue may be so J obtained fairly, justly and without i injury or undue burden upon any ; industry or business." NEW CRUISER FOR AUSTRALIA Melbourne.—Australia will soon begin construction of a new 7,000 ton cruiser to cost around $12,500,- 000. It will carry eight 6-inch guns.

WHEN YOU THRILL AT THE SIGHT OF A MODERN TRAIN THINK OF ESTATE GAS°RANGES Not speed alone (110 miles per hour), but speed with economy is the chief vir tue of the new streamline trains. But that Isn't all. Because of heat, sound and vibration insulation, pas sengers get the sensation of floating through the air. # Advances in the field of kitchen engineering are just as spectacular. In the new Estate Gas Ranges you get speed with economy, too. Automatic devices save gas, save work, save time. Heavy insulation prevents overheating the kitchen. • .p|Bh NEW!
