By EuU N. Greenwood PLATHTO IT OlOBB... The portance of the Negro vote North Carolina may be se^i tn sudden decision of the Democrats last week to move Uteir official headquarters from racially haras sed Hotel Sir Wafter to building, as yet unnamed. The change is coming after 12 fsf: prosperous and happy years In Aateith's hading hotel, ft has no doubt been embarrassing for De mocratic Party officials to move through a wave of Negro excite ment around the hotel in order to reach their headquarters within. But the moving announcement said more space is needed. This is no doubt true. However, one thing ;?.j the hotel has—or can get.... U space. Negro voters, who are prone to vote as a groyp, can decide who Will win ottt th the Democratic contest lor Governor next year and In the no-hokU-barred fight coming up between the Democrats and Republicans In the General Elections a year from this fall. It would be silly ...at this late date—for the Democrats to do anything which might drive the Negro vote to other areas- - That’s the story we get. Now watch for some other interesting develop ments. WILSON INFLUENCE? .... on the day the decision to move from the Sir Walter was announced, former legislator Henry Hall Wil son, of Union County, was a vi sitor. His office is in the White House in Washington. Since Henry Hall is a special as sistant to the President, his name was linked to the Democratic farewell to the Sir Walter. It is also Interesting to note that all Governors of recent years_ except two-ran their campaigns from the hotel the Democrats are leaving. The two exceptions were: W. Kerr Scott and Terry Sanford. LOW-BUZZING... .With the Ken nedy boys’ genius for vote - get ting and knowing the mind of the masses, very few Frontier Demo crate want to croaa (Mr path. Can’t afford to - - - for there h the center of strength. Under the heading of Jack’s 1W1, Time Mdjwlfl* lit tit MNH of June 1 said: “....In today’s Washington, no one really attacks President Ken nedy personally. Respect plays a large part in this restraint. So does fear. The word is around that the Kennedys win exert their vast in fluence against those who buck them. The summary dismissal of Chiaf of Naval Operations George Anderson, who had publicly ex pressed hig opposition to some of the policies of Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, is sttU a sub ject of low • bussing Washington conversation. It is an open secret that Commerce Secretary Luther H. Hodges, who at 86 is out of style and step with most of his Cabinet colleague}*, will be the next top Administration official to go. Capitol Hill’s Democratic li berals often chafe at Kennedy’s progmatic politics, but they do not often express their feelings in public. Neither do Republican leaders, even in private conversa tions and no matter how strong ly they may feel about Kennedy.” PAIN POSTPONEMENT . Porm erer Governor Luther Hodges got by with it, so the 1963 Legisla ture is playing with some strange linancial Juggling, too. It started out with a $100 million surplus, which was created by the food tax, etc., but is planning to “borrow” money front the IMS Legislature • ••At order to make a deal right It plans to ask cities and coun ties to give up thsir inventory taxes, stumbling blocks to new in dustries. but the MM Legislature will be asked to make up this $94 million loss in revenue to the cities and counties. In order to be known as a no tax-Oovemor, Luther Hodges bal anced the 19MMS1 budget by push ing the withholding plan for State income taxes. This made it so that in 1900 every North Carolina tax payer had to pay income taxes twice (the regular 1999 tax due on April 15, 1900, and the withholding collected throughout 1900). A very nice dish, indeed. This made It 90 that Governor Terry Sanford, when he took of fice in 1M1, had to do double scratching _and then some.... for expansion. What kind of taxes must the 1965 Legislature come up with in order to meet the demands now being made upn it by the 1963 Legislature? It is very, very tricky financing — to say the least. HOW?—The State of Pennsyl vania has recently increased Its sales tax to a flat five per oent. A number of cities_more all the time...,are putting on a one per cent sales tax. The last big tax redaction in North Carolina came In the U»7 legislature That one, too, like the Inventory tax now being kicked out the window, was to North Carolina more attractive to new corporations Thi, cannot he sue ceeefully denied. Meantime, we have plaoed a tax on food, thus increasing the aver age wage - earner’s tans In a time Of rising prices. How much more sacrifice must the wage earner make for New Industry? Every candidate for Governor or for the Legislature In North Caro lina next yeai should be asked how he plans for the State to make ends meet in 19C5. His pat answer, of course, will be: “Expanding Economy”. Ho hum....We are get ting more financially fancy all the j time. IT’S JUNE!...
