THE SHORE GARDEN.
.Vo flowers grow beside the door,
No hedges close the garden round,
Only the pebbles from tho shore
Me scattered on the open ground—
pebbles of amber, green, and blue,
,.snoW|pw]jlte, together
shine,
blinding themselves as flowers do
M colors soft and fine.
Though all the seasons come and go,
And suns niay scorch and winds may
rave
Yet nothing spoils this garden-show
<>f colors gathered from the wave:
Undimmcd beneath my walls they
throng
Bright with the beauty of the sea.
And l among them dream: and long
For flowers that might be!

The information came from Paul
White, Harrisburg bus driver, who.
iftcr viewing the three linen-swathed
bodies of the morgue, said he was cor
ain they were the three children who
accompanied a woman from New
York to Harrisburg in his bus last
week.
White also positively identified a

where the girls’ bodies were found
as one of the three carried by the wo
nan on the trip.
he name of Jennie. She was the.
One child, White said answered to
oungest of the three.
The party had tickets from Boston,
he said, and the woman, who seemed
very tired, led the group from the
bus at the State capital.
Before going into the morgue. White

authorities, even to a hole in the coat
of the youngest, estimated to be about,
seven years old. This one he remem

Very Few Changes In Sales
Tax Law To Be Requested
(Continued from rage One.)
the preesnt law pretty much as it is
and ask for its reenactment in vir
tually its present, form. For the gov
ernor is am ember of the Advisory
Budget Commission and it undoubt
edly would recommend some changes
in the sales tax law if he desired it.
But he is evidently willing to let it
go before the new legislature vir
tually as it was enacted by the 1933
assembly.
This docs not mean, however, that
10 efforts will he made to change the
sales tax law. The opponents of the
'ales tax will, of course, try to pre
vent its reenactment at all, or if un
successful in defeating it, will try to
wreck it with amendments and addi
tional exemptions, most observers
lore agree. There is no doubt that a
determined fight will be made by
hose merchants who are still bitterly
opposed to the sales tax. the State
federation of Labor and a few other
groups to defeat it entirely.
On the other hand, it is also evident
hat a very strong group is not only
going to favor its reenactment, but
will also try' to tighten up the pre
icnt law so that it will produce sev
eral million dollars a year more than
it has been yielding. It is generally
agreed that if the various exemptions
now- permitted should be removed, the
present three per cent sales tax
would yield from $2,000,000 to $3,000-
000 more revenue a year than it is
now bringing in. The present law ex
'*mpts the basic foodstuffs, such a.-
rncat, milk. lard, flour, sugar, salt,
meal, coffee and molasses, as well as
•jll farm products produced by farm
ers and sold direct by them to the
consumers.. There are in all some 19
ipeclfic exemptions, so that approxi
mately 38 per cent of all retail trans
actions in the State are now exempt
from the sales tax.
Those who are seeking increased
appropriations from the General As
sembly—and they arc many—already
realize that most of the txa sources
arc being drained to the limit and
that there arc virtually no new sour
ccs that can be tapped. As a result,
there la no doubt that many of these
arc going to try to increase thcr re
venue of the Htatc by attempting lo
strik© out most, if not. all, of the pre
sent exemptions in the sales tax law.
The mor c-mon cy-for-fiehools grtfijp,
for instance, which has already' an
nounced it will seek to have the ap
propriation for the public schools in
creased from the $10,000,000 they' arc
now getting to at least $2.0,000,000 a
year, an increase of $9,000,000 a year
are known to be looking with long
ing eyes towards the $2,000,000 to $3,-
000.000 more a year which could be
obtained by removing the exemptions
iii the present sales tax law.
So far there has been nothing
heard here of any move to increase
the rate of the sales tax from three
per cent to four per ent, and the be
lief is that if such a move is maa*
it would be bitterly opposed by the
I present administration. In fact, op-
HENPEESQN, (N. C.J DAILT tUSPATtH, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26 1534
inion here, even among those who
favor the retention of the sales tax,
is that the three per cent rate is high
enough, if not too high already, and
that its hould not ibe increased. There
are gome w'ho maintain that if the
exemptions are removed, the rate
should be lowerede to two per cent,
since it is agreed in most circles that
a two per cent sales tax with no ex
emptions would yield as much as the
present three per cent sales tax with
the exemptions.
But if any move is made to remove
the exemptions or to change the sales
tax law materially from its present
form, the move must be made by in
dividual members of the General As
sembly outside the pale of adminis
tration influence, according to pre
sent indications. For the policy' of the
administration seems to be to let well
enough alone and not to stir up any
antagnoiim to the' present sales tax
law'. Many' here think this is good
political strategy.
November Sales
Tax Is Record
(Contitiueo from Page Om».)
tire month of October amounted to
$068,082.
Total revenue collections from all
sources, w'ilh the exception of the
gasoline t:ix. thus far in November
amount to $1,253,000. Total collections
for Die entire month of October a
mounted to $1,301,151.
Sales tax collections are expected
to increase, each month from, now un
til January' because of the seasonal
increase, in buying and because of the
increased amount of money in cir
culation in almost, all of the tobacco
and cotton growing sections. Depart
ment of Revenue officials .'ire expect
ing the January sales tax collections
lo amount to at least $1,000,000. since j
hey will include the sales tax col
’cctcd on the pre-Christmas trade }
luring December. They' are also hop- j
ing that Decemebr collections will
imount to at least $750,000.
Unfairness Charged
By Mill Union
(Coul.luued from rage Oue.)
’ocal said four union members of the
Clinton mill, including himself, w’ere
iot taken back, and A. L, Harrison, a
leader of the Lydia local, testified
here were IS such cases at that plant.
Francis J. Gorman, vice-president
of the “United Textile Workers, was
at the hearing.
John Peele, of Greenville. S. C.. also
a textile union vice-president, in
charge of textile workers at Green
ville, was present at the hearing. He
said there w'as no violence of any'

the strike.

speaker, and this might be indicated
through talks along w'ith any of the
, several candidates.
The conference today with Senators
Robinson and Harrison also was be
lieved to shpw’ a determination to keep
a cateful eye on the financial -side of
the forthcoming congressional meet
ing.
Speakership Row
May Rend House
(Continued Irum Page o**e.)
'cader, is entitled to the speakership,
succeeding the late Speaker Henry
T. Rainey. And Byrns claims it.
But it is no secret that the White
House wmuld prefer Representative
■Jam Rayburn of Texas.
Other avowed candidate are:
Representatives John E. Rankin of
Mississipupi, William B. Banhead, of
Alabama and Robert A. Green of
Florida.
It w'ili oe noted that those aspi
rants all are from Dixie, Naturally
Congress’ Democratic old-timers, with
few exceptions, arc southerners, and
they demand recognition by right of
seniority'. This was accorded to them
readily during the era when Demo
cracy's representation on Capitol llill
was predominantly from below the
Mason-Dixon line.
Today', with states like Pennsyl
vania and lowa, not, to mention New
York and New' England, sending big
Democratic delegations to Washing
lon. the northern contingent inclines
lo insist on at least a 50-50 voice in
the party’s counsels, seniority or no
seniority. They' don’t overly' enjoy' the
idea of having one Texan (Vice Pre
sident John W. Garner) in the pro-,
siding officer’s chair in the senate
and another Texan (Representative
Rayburn) in the presiding officer’s
chair in the other congressional
chamber.
BYRNS* GRANGES
Still, Congressman Byrns' title to
wield the gavel on the representa
tives’ rostrum is not so very serious
ly' disputed.
Byrns can winw ithout creating
much ill-feeling.
If he loses to another southerner,
his supporters certainly will be grave
ly disgruntled. The northerners
be equally' disgruntled by the sugges
tion that their claims av- unentitled
to consideration in any event, Or if a
northern candidate is put forward.
