by Commissioner of Revenue A. J.

sales tax regulations specify that a
customer does not have to pay an ad
ditional one cent tax on fractional
pait > of a dollar where the total a
mount is in excess of $1.05. until the

Thus while a purchaser must pay
a lax of three cents on purchases be

Raleigh. Nov. 23. —(AP) —North Car
olmians numbering close to 400,000
are being appealed to by Governor Eh
ringhaus to buy their 1934 automo
bile licenses between Friday and
January 1 in order to give the State'
funds to meet its year-end obligations
without borrowing.
“North Carolinian# will have a
chance to display their patriotism and
love of State next month," the gover
nor commented.
‘‘They can buy something they’ve
got to have —their a»to tags—and by
buying early they can really help their
government."
Usually license plates for automo
biles do not go on sale until Decem
ber 15. and the State borrows money
witli which to meet its bond maturi
ties and other bbligafibhs due Decem
ber 31 and New Year’s Day.
"Tar Heels can save their State a
considerable sum in obviating the us
ual anticipation borrowings if they
will comply with the laws and pur
chase automobile licenses in Decem
ber, the governor observed.
As a usual practice, the State has
been securing $1,500,000 or more each
year from New York banks for 60
days or longer to be used to make
ends meet at New Year’s.
It is figured that a minimum of
$12,000 in interest can be saved if this
borrowing can be avoided.

Director Harry McMullan announced
today, while many other counties have
virtually no delinquent merchants.
For several weeks now the 56 de

who are registered with the Sales Tax
Division but who have not yet made
any returns. The first of these field
deputies to complete checking his list
was Deputy Brooks Parham of Hen
derson. who has the district com
posed of Vance and Warren counties.
He has reported that he has checked
all those merchants who have not
medfl returns and found that not one
of them was delinquent, and that the
only reason they had not made re
turns was that their collections were
not large enough to require them to
send them in. For nc merchant is

On Domestic Allotment;
Hope To Pay Parity on
1928-32 Basis for 10,000,-

Washington. Nov. 29. — (AP)— The
Farm Administration cotton acreage
reduction contracts for 1934 and 1935.
made public today, provide that cot
ton growers agree to reduce will be
paid a rental on land taken out of
production ranging from slightly less
than $3 to $lB an acre.
This was a change in the original
plans, which called for rentals of
from $3 to sll for the land taken out
of production.
The Farm Administration is seeking
to reduce cotton acreage next year to
25,000,000, as compared to an average
planted area of around 40,000,000
acres.
In addition to the rentals, producers
will be paid not less than one cent
per pound on tlieir domestic allot
ment. The domestic allotment is 40 per
cent of the averae yield of cotton
land during the years 1928-1932.
Originally the Farm Administration
(Continued no '’age Two.)
required by the law to make a return
until the total amount of sales tax
collected amounts to $lO or more, with
the exception that all merchants must
make a return on January 1 of each
new year, regardless of the amount of
tax collected.
"I have talked to several other of
the field deputies, however, and they
all report that they ar efinding very
few merchants who are actually de
linquent in sending in their sales tax
collections," McMullan said. "They
have found a few here and there who
had been waiting for the field men
to come around and help them make
out their returns or who had failed
to send in their returns through osme
misunderstanding. But there have
been very few who could be classed
as being deliberately delinquent.’’
The results of this check-up on mer
chants who have not yet made returns
is proving more convincing than ever
that the merchants are cooperating
with the State in the collection of the
sales tax almost 100 per cent, Mc-
Mullan said.
