The enactment ! hy Congress of the bill that would j levy ;i lajt of 2 1-1 per cent on all j manufactured goods, now under con- | Idcration in the House, known the manufacturers' sales tax bill, would cost the people of North Carolina ap proximately $12,500,000 a year more Ilian they are now paying in taxes, according to the best estimates ob tainable here, all of which would go into the Federal treasury ill Wash ington. j Os Ihij amount, it is estimated that til leas* $150,000 would be paid by the State on its purchases of manu factured goods for use in State in stitutions and departments. This in ef fect would mean that the State would have to lake $150,000 of the tax money It collects and send it on to Wash ington as tribute to the Federal Gov ernment. For so far there has been nothing to indicate that purchases by states will be exempt from this tax. According to the most recent esti mates .approximately $380,000,000 worth of goods are manufactured in North Carolina each year, exclusive of manufactured tobacco products, which would be subject to this tax of 2 1-4 per cent, to be paid at the source SALESTAX ONLY SOURCE Os MONEY Ways and Means Committee So Informs House As Bill Is Brought In Washington, March 9 (AP)—' The Hou-e was told today by Mb Ways and Means CommiMee ttato there was no other source of revenue that would yield the amount of money required for the Treasury as the 2.25 percent manufacturer's sales tax is epected to do. In the formal report on the new sl,- 096.000,000 revenue bill, which the House will begin to consider tomor row, the committee said: ‘"lhere is no other source of reve nue which will yield the amount im peratively required, with as iWtle pro test, aa little annoyance, and as little disturbance to business «s a manu facturers’ exefee tax.’" ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VTROTNTA Very Little In Mountains And None In Piedmont Section of State Black Mountain, March 9.—(AT) —Sixteen Inch** of snow blank eted the crest o- Mount Mitchell, while the mercurv slipped down to eight device* he-'uw zero on (he highest peak east of i).« Missis sippi early tndnv (By the Associated Press.) Part of Eastern North Carolina was treated to a heavy snow to day, but there was very little In the mountains and none at all In some parts of the Piedmont sec tion. Rain fell on the coast. Four inches of snow had fal len at Fayetteville before 10 a. m. t and the fait continued. Goldsboro also had a hard snow. There was a light fall at Ra leigh. Greensboro had a few flur ries last night but none todjy. C harlotte had a slight snow at midnight, hut there was little trace of It by mid-morning as the tem perature rose. Only about a quarter of an inch fell at Asheville, in the mountain section, hut there was a harder fall In Rutherford county. Wilmington had a cold rain In the early morning, with fine sleet Intermingled. Snow was predicted for later In the day. Low temperatures during the night over the state averaged be low freezing. Asheville's low was 14, Charlotte, 39, Goldsboro £7. by the manufacturer. For tobacco pro ducts arc not taxed by this parlicuiai bill, but are reserved for much higher brackets in another bill. Thus the manufacturers of the State will be required to pay a lax of $8,550,000 a year, which is 2 l-t per cent of the value of tbeir products. It is .gener ally conceded, of course, that this tax of $8,550,000 will be passed along to the ultimate consumer in the form of increased prices. But the merchants of North Caro lina sell aL least $175,000,000 worth of goods to people in this State that were manufactured in other states. These other manufacturers will of course be required to pay the tax, which will then be passed along to the merchants and the ultimate con sumers who buy the goods retail in this Slate. This will add another $3,- 837,000 to the totaal amount of this tax which will be paid in North Caro lina by the ultimate consumers. All of these figures, when added, make a total or $12,500,000 which the Federal government will collect from the peo ple of North Caroling either direct ly or indirectly, from this Manufac turers' Sales Tax. if It is enacted.

MV J. n. tMtKKPtIU. Raleigh. March 9. -Whether or not Lieutenant Governor R. T. Foun tain will name a campaign manager is causing considerable discussion here in political circles, now that J. C. B. Ehringhaus has appointed Major L. P. McLendon of Durham a-s his campaign manager. A. J. Maxwell Is also expected to name a manager and open a headquarters in the near fu ture. But opinion is about evenly divided aa to what course Fountain will persue. Those who think Fountain will name a manager and open a bead quarters think he is more likely to select James DeLaney. of Charlotte. • than any one else. DeLaney is a for mer member of the General Assembly from Mecklenburg county, is known as an ardent Fountain booster in Charlotte and Mecklenburg, and as being in complete agreement with Fountain in his opposition to the new State highway law that put all the county roads in the State under the administration and maintenance of •he State Highway Commission. Dc lauiey was formerly attorney for the Mecklenburg County Highway Com mission. and with Col. T .L, Kirk patrick, of Charlotte, bitterly opposed the passage of the new highway law during the 1931 General Assembly. Fountain, in advocating a "return to local self government" and In at tacking the "centralization of govern ment in Raleigh” is appealing to those who want more power given back to the counties, including the control and maintenance of the county *-nads.
