with when he enters the executive

under way to organize blocs in both
the House and Senate of the 1933
General Assembly definitely commit
ted to support a luxury sales tax and
to oppose any legislation proposed or
recommended by Governor J. C. B
Ehringhaus. it was learned on very
tellable authority here today,
The plan even includes the election
of a speaker in the House who will
be friendly to this bloc and that will
help it to control the House and co
operate with a stmilai bloc in the
Senate, according to information ob
tained here. It was indicated that
this bloc in the House will support
Julius Martin. of Asheville. for
speaker in an attempt to defeat R.
1,. Harris, of Roxboro, so far gen
erally conceded as the winning can
didate for the speakership. Harris op
posed the sales tax in the 1931 Gen
eral Assembly, and is regarded as be
ing too friendly to the policies of
Governor O. Max Gardner and hence
likely to be too friendly to Governoi
Ehi inghaus.
In /„ne *.cn*te. this luxury sales

to be backing a luxury sales tax ad

Raleigh. Nov. 28. The credit of the
State of North Carolina is as sound
as ever in New York financial cir
cles, but the 1933 General Assembly
is going to have to balance the
State's budget and provide enough
revenue to keep it balanced in order
to keep, the State's credit sound, ac
cording to State Treasurer Charles
M. Johnson, who has just returned
from his first trip to New York as
State treasurer, whereh e signed notes
for the renewal of a 35,000,000 loan to
the State.

assured me that North Carottna’i
credit was still good, at it always
had been. But they alto told me that
unlees the State balanced ltd budget
during this next General Assembly
and kept it balanced, that it could
not expect to get any more loans.
However, they seemed confident that
the State is gc%ng to balance Its
budget, as, of course, it is.”
A much better feeling in financial
circles In New York Is already evi

agree that conditions are already

BY J. V. RASKKHVILI.
Raleigh. Nov. 26—With so much
talk about "Deer by Christmas” and
the possible repeal or modification of
the Volstead Act by Congress at the
forthcoming December session, many
North Carolina oecr enthusiasts are
confidently talking of "beer by
spring' In North Carolin a.Most of
the opinion in seasoned political cir
cles here, however, is that there is
little hope for the repeal or revision
of the State's "bone dry” Turling
ton Act and that the State's beer
drinkers had better hold on to their
crocks, bottles and bottle cappers for
a while longer.
This does not mean, of course, that
no efforts will be made to modify
or repeal the Turlington Act. These
efforts are sure to be made and re
ports are that at least two membrs |
of the 1933 House have already drawn
bills to repeal this act. It is also in
dicated that those favoring the re
peal or modification of the Turling
ton Act hope to strengthen their
ranks by proposing a State tax on
beer that will prove emptng tto those
searching for new revenue. The more
optimistic maintain that a State tax
on beer would yield about $500,000 a
