(AP)—Collec tion of the new two-cent tax on checks, drafts and similar instru ments. which goes into effect on June ?1. will cause no inconvenience to bank depositors of the country, but will be handled entirely by the banks. The Internal Revenue Bureau said today the banks would pay the tax to the Treasury at the end of each month. During the period the bank will keep account of the number of checks drawn by each dspoeitor and at the end of the month enter a charge against the account and en close a statement with the depositors" cancelled checks. Counter checks which are cashed by the depositor at the bank are not taxed. The new postal rates go into effect the first of next month. The highest rates on second class mall go into effect July 1. while the three-cent let ter mall goes into effect July 6. While the regulation will not be completed for some time, those ap plying to the taxes that become ef fective June 21 will be promulgated before that time. Most of the new excise taxes are levied upon the manu facturer and will be collected from that source. The experts have kept abreast of the btfl as it moved through Congress, and about all that remains now is to decide the final form of the new re gulations applying to the 15-day taxes.

RALEIGH BELIEVES MORRISON TO WIN IN RUN OFF VOTE Protest Ballots That Went to Wet Candidate Expect, ed to Return to The Senator MANY FOLKS WISHED TO SPANK MORRISON Now That He Has Been Re primanded for McNinch Vote, They Are Satisfied; Reynolds Backers Want Fountain To Run To At tract Chief Attention Dniiy Ol*|intrh Barcas, la the Sir Walter Hntet. BY J. r. IIAHKK.HVIM. Raleigh, June 8. Altnough Senator Cameron Morrison will have the fight of his life in the second primary with Robert R. Reynolds, the wet candi date from Asheville who managed to get a leatl of more than 12.000 votes over Morrison in Saturday's voting, most of the opinion in political cir cles here is that Morrison will pro bably he able to defeat Reynolds and emerge as the winner. It is agreed, of course, that Rey nolds has an advantage in having any lead over Morrison, especially a lead of 12000 votes, and that, under or dinary conditions, this lead would be equivalent to winning the nomination in the second primary. The late A. D. (Aus> Watts is credited with having said that “a lead of only 1,000 votes in a first primary is worth 25-000 votes in a second primary.” Usually this is true. Even More Unusual. But it is already agreed that the contest between Reynolds and Mor rison was unusual and that the sec ond primary is going to he even more unusual. Frv the first primary there is no doubt that thousands of votes were cast for Reynolds not because those voting wanted hi mto be sena tor. but because they either wanted to cast a protest vote against pro hibition or because they wanted to spank Morrison for voting to confirm the appointment of Frank McNinch as a member of the Federal Power Com mission. Now that the protest has been registered against prohibition, and Morrison quite effectually spank ed for his vote for McNinch. It is conceded that thousands of those who voted for Reynolds in the first pri mary will vote for Morrison in the second, since many of them realize that, of the two, they would rather see Morrison continue as senator, tn spite of his egotism and blatant speeches, than to see Reynolds there. They agree that eccpi for his opposi tion to prohibition, Reynolds has lit tle or nothing to offer and that if he should try to carry out some of the demagogic promises he mad during his campaign before the first primary. Reynolds might actually become a lia bility in the Senate rather than an asset. Look To Election Campaign. Another factor that is causing a good deal of thought, is whether or not Reynolds could “make the grade” net fall in the general election, run ning as a ■wet" candidate upon what will undoubtedly be a "dry" Demo cratic platform, against Jake Newell, the “dry" Republican candidate for the Senate, running on a dry Repub lican platform. Unless Reynolds and his friends can pack the State Demo cratic Convention that meets here June 16 with wet delegates and gain control of the convention, it is almost a forgone conclusion that it will adopt the usual Democratic platform with the usual dry plank in it, favoring con tinued enforcement of the prohibition law and adherence to the eighteenth amendment. The Reynolds followers, of course, say that those raising this issue are merely trying to erect a straw man and a false issue and that there is absolutely no danger of any Demo crats voting for a Republican candi date for the Senate in the November election. They maintain that this is nothing more than a neffort to make (Continued on Page Six). Capitol Hill consensus is that he has “gone reactionary.” Not so long ago the most advanced progressives called him mighty radi cal. Today the veriest Tories speak of his views as ultra-conservative.

In the Sir Wnil.-r Hotel. BY J. C. BASK KK VI 1.1,. Raleigh, June B.—A second primary between J. C. B. Ehringhaus and Lie utenant Governor R. T. Fountain is regarded as increasingly improbable here in view o fthe tremendous lead which Ehringhaus now has over Foun tain of almost 55,000 votes, although so far has made no formal statement as to what he plans to do. Almost all of those in political circles here, how ever. believe that it would be folly for Fountain to ask a second primary as the result of the lead which Ehring haus has. Indications are that Fountain is thinking pretty much along the same lines, although he has until next Wed nesday. June 15. to call for a second primary. The law stipulates that can didates in second place in the first primary may have until five days after the results of the election are officially declared in which to de mand a second primary.
