SalM Levy Scored
By Leader
Charloltb, June
Leonard, secretary of the
Fair Tax association, said in
address here today that It is "a
reflection on the intelligence of
the state for anybody to say that
a fair tax system of taxation,
which must necessarily eliminate
the sales tax, cannot be worked
out.”
Speaking before a labor meet
ing, the anti-sales tax leader add
ed that "we cannot expect this to
be done so long as we continue
to perpetuate In office a group of
politicians more interested In
keeping tjielr workers on the
public pay roll than they are in
giving the public economical gov
ernment.’’
The head of the fair tax organ
ization, without referring direct
ly to either of the candidates for
governor in the July 4 Demo
cratic primary, asserted, "it’s
time to give North Carolina an
other governor who will strive,
as Biekett did, to make tax re
forms in the Interest of the mass
es.’’
Leonard said a survey by na
tional organizations of farmers
had revealed that whereas 10
years ago only one out of 10 dol
lars of the farmers’ Income went
to the cost of government, he
mus tnow pay one out of every
five.
Surveys and studies of the tax
ing policies of all branches of
government, he added, revealed
that in states where a general
sales tax is levied, "the tenant
farmer and the wage earner pays
one out of every four dollars in
taxes, either directly or trace
able.”
Leonard asserted "the enor
mous increase In the number of
federal, state and local govern
mental emiHoyes and office hold
ers is a menace to our demo
cratic form of government” and
accused the btate government of
"making every effort to coutrol
all local government In I^orth
Carolina.’’
Mr. Leonard was a visitor
this city today on his way

TAX ON CARS BOUGHT
OUT OF STATE RULEP
VALID BY HIGH COURT
Raleigh.—The state Bupreme
court ruled parks and playgrounds
are “ne^atieB” of municii^JitieB,
upheld that tax levied on automo
biles bought in other states for
use in North Carolina and declined
appeals of three men sentenced to
die.
Odell Oakley, of Rockingham
county, a fourth man who appeal
ed from a death sentence, was
granted a new trial because of a
slip of the tongue of Superior
Court Judge John H. Clement, who
presided at Oakley’s original trial
for first degree burglary.
The court decided 44 cases and
announced that more opinions
would be handed down June 30.
Thirteen cases are still undecided.
SCHMELING FIGHTS
DELIBERATE BATTLE
TO K. O. JOE LOUIS
Yankee Stadium, New York.
June 19.—Bruised, battered and
bewildered for the first time in
his professional career, his youth
ful face round in a wonderment
that was reflected by the roar of
the astounded crow'd, 22-year-old
Joe Louis crumpled tonight and
was knocked out by tne-*veterau
who didn’t have a chance, Max
Sclimeling, of Germany.
There was dynamite and drama
inside the roped arena under
somber black skies, while a
crowd estimated at 40,000 looked
on in alternate amazement and
admiration, but Louis furnished
neither as he toppled to the
floor, a badly whipped young ne
gro, and was counted out in the
12th round of a 15-round match.

President Rooeeveit
New York, June_:JTj.—Presi
dent Roosevelt’s home 'State of
New York was claimed for the
Republicans by national Chair
man John D. M. Hamilton tonight
as he went over the situation
with State and local leaders.
Commenting on Gov. Herbert
H. Lehman’s recent mannounce-
uient that he would not seek a
third term, Hamilton said:
"l.andon and Knox will carry
New York State whether Lehman
runs or not.”
Published reports (in the New
York Sun) that the Democrat
might try to-
Lehman to lend bis vote-geUtng
strength to their ticket by ruifc-
ning again and then resigning if
re-elected brought this comment
from Hamilton;
"I think Mr. Roosevelt needs
all the help he can get in New
York State and J wouldn’t blame
him for trying to set up an arti
ficial candidacy here.
"But neither Governor Lehman
nor any one else can save Roose
velt in New York State.’’
He added, however, that “we
are. not going to take any chanc
es.’’
By an "artificial candidacy”
Hamilton said he meant one de-
.signed "not to serve the State
but to save Roosevelt’s hide.”
“The people are entitled to
know who is going to be the ac
tual Governor,’’ he added.
There will be grave decoration
at McGrady cemetery near F. P.
Taylor’s home on the second Sun
day in July, July 12. Rev. Billy
