(Special Correspondent)
RAI.EiGH. X. C.?Afcer rejecting
tJiv conference committee report on
:h(' Revenue Bill Thursday by a vote
So.? *> ?.-?
Livos turned around and adopted it
Friday, passed it on its second reading:
at an after-midnight session early
Sutuiday morning by a 49 to 14
vote, making the third reading Monday
a matter of form, with opposition
dissipated.
Tito report rejected was only slightly
changed when adopted, the change
being safeguards around the "diversion"
of 630.000 to 8300,000 of highway
funds into the general fund as
the equivalent of a three per cent
sales tax on gasoline. The money will
not be "diverted" unless it is needed
and will not be diverted if its use
would prevent the full benefit of the
Federal funds for highway construction.
The diversion is really $1,630,000
or $1,800,000. as against $1,000,000
a year for the present biennium.
The report provides for an exemptionless
sales tax of three per cent;
deduction of only 10 per cent (now
IIS) in income taxes for charities,
etc.; no tax on individual income from
domestic corporations. The "diversion"
was apparently the most bitterly
opposed item and when the safeguards
.were thrown around it, most
of the onpositirtn. ppeared.
Senate Doubtful
Just what the Senate will do with
it is uncertain. That body may accept
it, although the Senate refused stolidly
to levy a tax on all basic foods. It
did reduce them once. If it holds out,
as some of th~ members are inclined
to do, adjournment is in the dim and
distant future. If it accepts the report
as it was accepted by the House, then
a week more should about reach the

i hoped it would be throw n out the window
and its author with it, and volunteered
to do the throwing. Tain
Bowie resented the attack on the conference
committee, saying McDonald
had tried to block o.Il moves by his
tactics. Representative R. L. Harris,
1933, speaker, said it was publicity
he was seeking and said he was tired
of publicity stunts of the "flapdoodle
I professor."
At the ilight meeting it again appeared
in the form of the petition
| signed by several members to exjpunge
the McDonald statement from
J the record. Tarn Bowie and Gregg
I Cherry suggested that Dr. McDonald
withdraw it. He did, but reiterated
| his statement, saying he was retracting
nothing. It was a tense, time.
House Adopts Wet Bill
j The House pulled a surprise by
'adopting the Day liquor bill substitute,
the third reading Weunesuay by
;a one majority, 52-51, although the
{House had been thought to be the
dry side. The bill went to the Senate,
where its adoption is by no means
certain, although the Senate was considered
the 'wetter" of the two. It
will reach a vote this week, undoubtedly.
Meanwhile, the Hill bill is resting
on the calendar in the Senate,
which has not yet had a wet-dry test
vote.
The bill provides for a referendum
June 8th, State-wide, and if as many
as 51 counties vote for liquor sales,
it becomes effective, a control board
of three members, bi-partisan, to be
named bv T
J-Jiquor could
be sold only in those counties voting
it. The control board would make
rules and regu-'aticr.?, although the
bill limits the sales as to hours, prevents
sales on Sundays, election or
holidays, and to minors, and places
a heavy penalty on selling or having
for sale by others. Hope of the proponents
is that the Senate will reduce
the number of counties to 20 or
25, when it would have more chance
of getting over in the election. But
the Senate probably will not.
Senate Considers Appropriations
The Senate started consideration of
the Appropriations bill, but decided to
wait until the Revenue conference report
was disposed of, due to uncerj
t&inty as to revenues. Revenue and
Budget Bureau officials now say the
bills are almost in balance for The
first year,, the second depending on
increase in business and thus in revenues.
If the Senate adopts the Revenue
conference report, it is expected
to pass the Appropriations bill about
as it was parsed by the House. Both
1
mouses nave disposed of many of the
i bills on their calendars and can finish
all except the Revenue, Appropriations
and School Machinery bills in
short order.
The Highway Patrol Bill, increasing
the number to 121, establishing a radio
system and takirg tax collections
from the patrolmen, already passed
by the Senate, nas been passed by the
i House and gone back to the Senate
| for concurrence ef that body in minor
I House amendments.
I The Senate refused to concur in the
| House amendment reducing the license
tag rate to 40 cents a hundred
pounds, and a conference committee j
j was named. The Senate had voted a
45-cent rate. The rate is now 55 cents, j
I The House killed the bill to allow sale
I of one-fourth year licenses in the form
1 of a sticker at one-fourth the annual I
cost, plus two per cent. 1
