THE DANBURY REPORTER. Volume 66 STOKES FARMERS > TO GET $50,000 * i THIS IS MONEY DUE THEM IN TAX REFUNDS FROM THE: DEFUNCT KERR- SMITH AC I'. t> M Tobacco farmers will be able to o: perlect claims in 10 or 15 days for refunds oi $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 g # in taxes collected by the govern ment under the defunct Ken - 1 a Smith act, and it is estimated that' $50,000 of this will be paid to | * Stokes county farmers. s Well over $1,000,000 of the tax j refunds will go to leaf growcis of j, Forsyth and surrounding coun ties of the upper Piedmont. j] No figures are available to show t the amount due by counties, but t the bulk of the tax—paid in 1931 c • and '35 by growers who refused i; to sign up in the old AAA was I f collected from this part North |j Carolina. New claims must be filed with u the treasury department in order ; to obtain the refunds, the at-, E torneys said. The federal lonns |. for filing the claims will be avail able in about two weeks. j Piedmont tobacco farmers will! j probably obtain their money early «Hpptember if claims are filed tjlptly. The attorneys esti- ] ♦ mated that clearing of the pay ments in the Treasury Depart ment might take six or eight weeks. The new claims, technically, will | auk the refund on the grounds off the bill providing such refund! ! ( that was passed by Congress justi before its adjournment, instead j of on the grounds of the uncon-j atitutionality of the act as set out before. Growers who have already filed claims, however, may refer to the j old ones in their requests, elim-| in»ting the necessity for again ob taining warehouse bills and proof of payment if such was included in the old claims. The tax collected under the Kerr Smith tobacco act amounted to from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 in North Carolina. Both acts, corollaries of the AAA, were rescinded by Congress in 1936 in deference to the Su preme Court opinion holding the AAA unconstutitional and the re payment of the tax was provided] in a rider to the deficiency bill j pushed through in the closing j minutes of the past session. __ _• 0 District Bar Meeting Will Be Held July 15 The lawyers of the 21et Judi ciial District will hold their first annual meeting on July 15 at 2 o'clock at the City Hall.
