CHRYSLER—PLYMOUTH §j i Sales and Service ||| FOR REAL BARGAINS IN gj USED CARS I SEE OUR STOCK Realtors’ War Eyed Closely Teachers Seek to Know Whe1 he Group Opposes All Ad Val orem Taxes. Teachers are beginning to lool askance at efforts of the realtor of the state who are favoring th retention of the general sales ta: and opposing the return of the stat. wide ad valorem tax on real estate and are asking if such effoits ari as altruistic as they .appear on th. surface. Recently the North Carolina as sociation of Red Estate boards car om in folder form a page adver tisement in which was quoted ex cerpts from editorials published m '’0-odd North Carolina newspapers to show that these papers are not so strongly opposed to the sales tax. The object was to help pop ularize the sales tax by showing relief in property tax, and to coun teract opposition by the N. C. Merchants’ association and the N. C. Fair Tax assosciation which groups seek to have the sales tax repealed. Some of the teachers, at least, have begun to ask whether the realtors are against ad valorem tax on a state-wide basis only, or also on a county-wide or school unit basis. If on a state-wide basis, well and good; if for county^and city school units also, then not so good, since teachers would favor a supplemental tax levied on real estate to increase salaries or ex tend terms, as the law provides. If the realtors oppose these local levies, then that is another thing still. The teachers will follow the realtors on the stsate-wide prop erty tax matter, but when it comes to local or county units, then it is expected that they will part com pany. The efforts of the realtors doubt less will lose some of its effect un less the point is cleared up, for there are many citizens, as well as teach ers, who would doubtless, under present conditions, vote for local supplemental school taxes.
