One Scale For
Sales Tax Looms
(Continued from Page one.)
ment made following it by Maxwell
to the effect that “the department is
considering changes in the sales tax
regulations that will simplify the ap
plication of the tax, including one
. composite schedule to apply to all
merchants.” The conference was be
tween members of the executive coun
cil and secretary of the merchants as
sociation and Commissioner Maxwell,
Director Harry McMullen, of the sales
• '
tax divisio nand several ethers in the
Department of Revenue.
Since Commissioner Maxwell is re
cognized as being a man of few words
his announcement that he was “con
sidering changes” in the sales tax re
gulations, especially the setting up of
a single composite schedule for pass
ing the tax alon g*o the public, is in
terpreted as meaning that this will
| be done in the near future.
Ever since Commissioner Maxwell
announced his regulations with re
gard to the sales tax, the merchants
i association in particular', through
'Willard L. Dowell, their executive
secretary here, as well as other mer
chants, have protested two regula
tions in particular. They have vigor
ously objected to the tregulation in
which he made it optional rather than
mandatory for the merchants to show
the tax separately from the selling
price and have wanted it made man
datory to show both the selling pr:ce
and tax on every sale. They have also
opposed the four schedules set up for
'passing the tax along, asking that
only one composite schedule be adopt
ed, to apply to all alike.
Commissioner Maxwell said noth
ing in his statement following this
conference about the first point in
volved, concerning the showing of the
sales price and tax on all advertised
tprices, and an agreement may not
have been reached on this point. It
is known that Commissioner Maxwell
still is convinced he was right in rul
ing that this should be optional and
• hat to make this mandatory would
work a real hardship on many mer
chants. He has been convinced that
much of the agitation for this ruling
has been coming from the extreme
element in the ranks of merchants
who are primarily interested in mak
ing the’ sales tax more unpopular
than it now is. It is also understood
that a good many merchants who at
first wanted this regulation made
mandatory about showing the tax as
a separate item on every sale, as well
as on all advertised prices, do not
want this now. For some merchants
who are insisting on doing this are
losing business as a result, finding
out that it is bad sales psychology.
They are finding out that customers
are more likely to buy an article
marked merely “price 20c” than if
marked “Price 19c plus lc sales tax,”
which was the way most of the mer
chants wanted the prices advertised
at first.
There has been a growing dissatis
faction among the merchants, how
ever, with the four different schedules
set up by Mr. Maxwell in the sales
tax regulations. They have argued
that they were confusing and that
many merchants did not know which
schedules to adopt. They also main
tained that some merchants would
adopt the schedule under which they
could get the most taxes from the
public, regardless of whether it was
the schedule they should adopt or
not. They also maintained that the
four schedules were too confusing to
the buying public.
“Unless these schedules are chang
ed and one single composite schedule
adopted, the people of the state will be
charged fully $5,000,000 more a year
than the thre per cent tax calls for,”
Dowell said of this ruling. “In order
to safeguard and protect the public,
this regulation should be changed.”

North and South were vulnerable.
East and West were not vulnerable.
North’s hand was so strong defen
sively that he made a third-hand
opening bid of 1-Club. East did not
hold a doubling hand, he had to show
his two-suiter, and he was justified
in his jump overeatl of 2-Hearts.
West having passed was not obli
gated to respond on a bust, but. East
knew that his partner would respond
upon very little strength. South bid
2-Spades, causing West to pass, and
North to bid 3-Spades, but East gave
his partner a choice of makes, by
bidding 4-Diamonds. South had
nothing more to say. West shifted
hosp-tal board. When it has been
prepared, it will be submitted to the
.public a week in advance of the meet
ing of the commissioners, so thalt
there may be a general understand
ing of it.
Ths : Statement to be prepared will
-show how the- cost to the county will
be no more under the merger than
the county hospital is costing the
county at the present time. A finan
cial statement has already been made
up showing that ratio of costs, this
having been prepared by experts of
the Duke Endowment hospital section
It is contended that the merger
would provide a much better hospital
and that charity work could be done
much more efficiently and at no
greater cost. The merger has been
proposed by the Duke Endowment,
with a view to setting up in Hender
son a large hospital to serve this en
tire section of the State, and which
would eventually attract much greater
support from the Duke interests, even
to the pointment of possibly of en
larging the Maria Parham hospital
as the need arise.
Maria Parham hspital has been in
operation for some eight years. It was
built by a group of local doctors, with
some outside assistance, but several
years ago was into a civilian group
of trustees so as to make it eligible
for Duke Endowment funds for
charity work.
uuo 4-Hfcaris. North would Have
done better to have bid 4-Spades,
than to double, but he chose the
latter. With one probable trump
trick in his hand South passed.
South preferred to open the suit
bid by his partner, rather than lead
his spades headed by a Q. North s K
won the trick, dropping East’s lone J
Back came North’s K of spades, to at
once remove the Ace from dummy.
The 8 of diamonds was led. When
the Ace was not played East finessed
his J, and won the trick The de
clarer could not afford to lead win
ning hearts, he needed to trump
some of his losing diamonds, so he
led a low heart, giving South a trick
with his Q.
To save one ruff of declarer’s dia
monds, South led back a trump, and
dummy war in. Dummy’s last dia
mond was led. North had to win
with his Ace. He forced the de
clarer, by leading the 9 of spades,
obliging East to trump. Dummy
trumped a low diamond, and the de
clarer regained his own hand by
trumping ore of dummy’s spades.
Then he led his K of hearts, to pick
up South’s last trump. His K cf
diamonds picked up North’s Q. and
the declarer spread his hand, show
ing one long diamond and a single
good trump with which to win the
last two tricks. He made his 4-odd,
doubled, having lost only one trick
in each ot three suits—a heart, a
diamond and a club.
Several times the defensive play
might have been varied but nothing
that North and South could have
done should have defeated the con
tract of as good a player as East.

to introduce such a measure im the
final for.night of the parley, whose'
leaders agreed yesterday upon cessa

The American thesis is that a. high

monetatray stabilization, which is so
ardently desired by the gold countries.,
I>n some quarters there was hope,
therefore, that, the price-raising reso
lution might be so phrased as to
ibring the gold group a.nd the non
