He and Charlotte Merchant Only Ones Meeting With Maxwell To Resist Proposal MAXWELL IS SIDING WITH THEM ON IDEA One Cent Added To Each Purchase Is More Than Law Allows Commissioner Holds; Fayetteville Man Says His Merchants Favor Stamp Tax Methods Raleigh, June 19.—-(AP)—Practical ly without exception, representatives of various retail merchant groups of the State who met here today with A. J. Maxwell, revenue comm ssioner, for a, conference on ways and means cf passing on the State’s new three percent general sales tax, expressed desire that tax stamps be used. Approximately 100 merchants from a)l parts of the State participated in tho conference. At the start of the meeting, Mr. Maxwell announced no final decision would be reached today, but that the gathering was called “so you mer chants could tell me what to do.” T. M. Turner, of Fayetteville, said he had canvassed the merchants of his city and “without exception” all favored the stamp method of passing the tax on to the consumer. H. W. Lehman, of Durham; Char les Boykin, of Halifax; E. W. De vaux, of 'Rockingham, and others!, also favored the stamp tax idea. P. H. Rose, of Henederson, and W. T. Buice, of Charlotte, led the opposition to such a system. Under the 1933 sales tax law, which becomes effective July 1, the revenue commissioner is empowered to pro mulgate rules and regulations to in sure that the fconsumer bears the tax. Each article sold at retail except “necessary foods,” gasoline and fer tilizer, comes under the tax. Maxwell, who is known to oppose the stamp method pointed out that under the Hunter plan “if you add a one cent tax to every purchase, you will be collecting more than the three ■percent tax proposed.” ROOSEVELT'S PARTY REACHES NANTUCKET Nantucket, Mass., June 19— (AP) —The President of the Unit ed States, his countenance plainly showing the need of a shave, and his an oiled skin glistening with salt spray, put into his island part today on h's Amberjack 11.
