It was in troduced by Senator Long of Halifax. The Senate adopted a joint resolu tion introduced in the House appoint ing another committee to study the salaries and personnel in the State departments with a view to effecting economies aggregating $3,000,000 year ly. The committee would report by February 15, under the proposal. The Senate also voted to recall the Burgin bill to make the members of the State Board of Conservation and Development also serve as State park commissioners. Burgin said he want ed the measure brought back, as re presentatives of the Rockefeller Foun dation, which has made large con tiibutions to the park, wanted to be heard. He will move to reconsider the vote by which the bill was passed at tomorrow's session. A House education committee was named to start work on school legis lation. including a bill to provide an eight-moßihs school term in seven months by extending class hours one hour per day and having a six-day school week.

Terrific Battle Looms For Finance Committee Over New Revenue Bill (Continued irom Page One.) ed to provide for t;ie essential needs of the State and balance the budget- It Is reliably understood that both Chairman R. A. DouglUon of the House Finance Committee and Sen ator R. Grady Rankin, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, are in sympathy with the movement to reduce the schedules in the proposed Revenue bill on the industrial cor porations, such as the power com panies, tobacco companies, railroads and other corporate interests, , There is a substantial bloc from the non-industrial counties, however, com posed pf legislators who are deter minedly opposed To"’reducing any of the present tax schedules on the cor porations, especially if a general sales tax is to be levied to transfer 'he millions that will be the corporations the bjfccks and, stomachs of the masses of the peo ple. Thg|members of this group are accord with the suggestion of the Tax Commission and Budget Commission that the corporations should not even be permitted to en joy the saving in ad valorem taxes they will get as a result of the re peal of the 15 cents State property ’ tax, but that t-hey should be made to make this saving up through "re placement taxes. Yet present indications are that the finance committees not only are heading entirely away from levying any replacement taxes, but toward lower taxes on corporate industry all along the line. > In order to counteract this move, l faction is coming more and [ more to the conviction that if any taxes are to be reduced they should be the taxes on the farms and homes of the rank and file of the people in stead of on the dams, power sites, factories and other properties of cor porations. They maintain that if a general sales tax is to be levied— and almost everyone here now agrees that a general sales tax is inevitable— that HENDERSON, (N.C;j DAILY DISPATCH THURSDAY FESRtf ARY 2 1933' it should provide some relief for the smaller property owners and not just for the “big boys” of big business. They are unwilling to approve a sales tax unless it will provide for a par tial transfer of the tax burden all the wiay down the line. This is the reason behind the grow ing sentiment for a State supported tight months school term. For by transferring tlie cofet of the extended term from the property owners in the 1,080 special tax and charter districts to the State property owners will be relieved of fully $4,000,000 a year Jp. property taxes. It is agreed that’k large portion of this will be taken off (corporate property, but the smaller property owners will be relieved as well. It is also maintained that if this is done, it will be impossible to lower the taxes on the corporations and industrial interests as much as they desire and that most of the pre sent higher tax schedules will have to be retained, while the sales tax will then be levied almost entirely as a property tax relief measure for the support of the longer school term, in stead of for the relief of the corpora tions. A bitter contest between these two groups is in prospects. “THE QUILL” Published by the Pupils of Epsom High School Helen Gray Kearney, Editor-In-Chief LITERATURE The Junior and Senior classes re cently comp letted a study of the Chiv alric Ideal, and entered into friendly competition to see which .class could make the most attractive booklet on this fascinating and interesting period of literature.

Raising Os Tariffs Is Denounced Commissioner Says Scheme Equal to an Embargo on For eign Countries Washington, Feb. 2 (AP) —In a vigorous assault upon Republican plans for boosting tariffs automatical ly against depreciated currency coun tries, Robert L. O’Brien, tariff com mission chairman,, told a House com 1 - milbtee -today that “4f you want an Embargo, go ahead and pass it, but let !u» do it ihonestiy and intelligently.” Speaking rapidly, he recommended to the Republicans who have forced a House vote February 13 on this issue, that they “accept the. leadership of Secretary Mills, whose latest speech on the! gold standard clearly indicated bis opposition.” “In his plan fro recovery,” O’Brien, daid, “I do n<it see our great finance minister advocating this plan.” Foreclosures Stayed Under New Bill Congress Begins to Take Measures To Save Farmers (This is one of the concluding afrticles of a series top problems facing the incoming president of of the United States), , , By LESLIE EICHEL Immediate! aM is needed by farm ers and wage earners. l More than 20,000,000 folk dn. the United States are estimated to be living in a “Star vation” condition. Granted that the removal of trade barriers, the resultant readjustment of currency and the fading of ex change restrictions would automati cally bring a restor&itSon of a normal prosperity (as predicted). Nolbody can wait now*. ■' - erf* What,' then, can be done? r,t Farmers First ■'t&W Farm organizations and Democratic leaders ’have agreed upon certain measures for farmciis <who ra e bet ter organized than urban wworkers): First, there is a Mil to stay farm foreclosure proceedings while at tempts are being made to settle or ex tend the debt. Thfis bill would place conciliation commissioners or special referees in agricultural counties /to assist farm ers in carrying out tbeiir part of debt extension or composition agreement. That is an emergency measure, to last for five years,attached as an amendment to the bankruptcy bill of Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Ark ansas. \ , Other Provisiciis The robinson bankruptcy measure provides: That courts of bankruptcy, on pe tition of at least 15 farmers in any county, are authorized to appoint one or more conciliation commissioners wlho shall serve without pay There will be, however, one supervising com mission who will receive pay. At any time within five years, a pe tition may be filed with the concilia tion commissioner by any farmer liv ing in the county, o-r by any creditor of the farmer, stating tha tthe farmer is insolvent, or unable to meet his debts, and that it is desirable to ef fect an adjustment or extension of time. The conciliation commissioner then calls a meeting of creditors. Commissioner In Charge The commissioner, subject to ap proval of the court, and after hearing all parties, will fax a reasonable time within which application for confirm ation of an adjustment miay be made. He will exercise such supervision and control over the farming operations of the farmer as the creditors, with! his approval, shall direct. i An application for the confirmation of an adjustment or extension pro posal may be filed in the court of bankruptcy after i>t has been accept :ed in wiring by a majority of all Icrediors and alter the security of mjoney necessary to pay all debts! Which have priority (unless waived) has been deposited in a place desig ; nated by the court. } There are many other provisions to protect both sides;, but the one of chief interest is this.; A farmer s mortgage cannot be fore closed or his land sold for taxes after such a proceeding is instituted, ex cept upon hearing and recommenda tion of the com&nisßiotner. That covers the mortgage situation. In addition there is the, crop pro duction loan bill, to make available from $75,000,000 to $103,000,000 for 1933 seed loans to farmers through the Reconstruction Finance Corpora : tion. ( , ( .

In these respects it is virtually identical with the original Mac Lean hill directing the establishment of the Stat’-supported six months term “without ad valorem taxation." It merely declares that the State shall n ainta’n and operate a a w'gt.v months school term without any ad valorem taxation and passes the buck to the finance and’ education:committees to find the money and set up the ma chinery. Was Used rs Club. In 1931 Mac Lean secured enactment of his six months State-supported school term'taw sc the opening- of the legislative session, then used it as a club with which to hold it in ses sion for five months while it tried to find the money with which to finance it. Indications are that if he can secure the enactment of this new eight months bill, he may followd the same tactics, point Qut that “its a law” and virtually compel the Gen eral Assembly to stay in session un til it finds the necessary revenue. Although the Mac Lean law in 1931 was represented as a measure design ed to reduce taxes on property—which it did to the tune of about $12,000,000 a year—it is. now agreed that cor porate property profited more from its enactment that did privately own ed property, or that it would have, had not the General Assembly greatly increased all the tax schedules on the various corporations to make up for the reduction in ad valorem taxes re sulting from the Mac Lean law and State support of the six months school term. So as a tax reduction measure for the corporations, the original Mac- Lean bill was more or less of a flop, although it was undoubtedly intended to be that. To Relieve Corporations. There is no doubt that the present move for an eight months school term is also more of a move to relieve the corporations of additional property taxes than anything else, although it is also regarded as an indirect move to compel the enactment of a general sales tax. It is agreed if the State should take over the cost of the eight months term it would remove fully $4,000,000 in property taxes, of which at least $2,000,000 is paid by corporate, property. The removal of the 15 cents ad valorem tax will also remove an other $4,000,000 in property taxes, of which at least $2,500,000 is paid by corporations. So both of these together SLEEP ALL NIGHT!

However, there are indications that this movement may not succeed any better than it did in 1931, and that the new Mac Lean eight months school (bill may in reality prove nothing more than a school measure rather than a bill to relieve corporate property. For there is already a feeling among the members of the General Assembly from the non-industrial counties and sections that if a sales tax is imposed it must be for the support of the schools and nothing else. The senti ment among these is also growing that the present tax schedules on corporations must not be reduced, but if anything increased in order to re capture a part of the tax reduction 6 66 LIQUID - TABLETS - SALVE Checks Colds first day, Headaches or Neuralgia 30 minutes, Mala Ha in 3 days. 666 SALVE for HEAD COLDS.
