I Revenue Measure To Be Harmonized With Conference (Continued from Page One.) House and waiting Senate action. With the money bill out of the way . for another day, both divisions of the ; assembly acted on a number of State wide measures. 1 House members, by a 55 to 32 vote, rejected a minority favorable commit ttee report on the Day bill to re-ap portion House membership so as to give Buncomge, Guilford and Meck lenburg each an additional member by taking one each from Nash, New Han over and Rockingham. The action killed the measure. The Senate killed the Sparger bill passed by the House, which would have repealed the law requiring ap plicants for marriage licenses to pre sent an affidavit of physical witness, or submit to a medical examination. House approval on second reading was voted a measure to place a tax of ten cents per pound on oleomar garine, which is made from “foreign” ingredients, such as cocoanut oil. The Senate Appropriations Commit tee started consideration of the spend ing measure passed by the House, and reduced to the joint committee fig. ures the allotments for the State Li- HENDERSON, (N, C.) DAILY DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1935 Ruth Making Debut in National League Outstanding features of opening day bill of fare in major leagues was appearance of Babe Ruth in National Lea gue uniform for first time. The Bambino is mission one at unfamiliar home plate of Braves in Boston. To show that he is not through, the Babe almost single handed whipped the New York Giants with Carl Hubbell pitching, thus wreaking vengance on Hubbell for striking him out in the All-Star game last year. Babe figured in all the scoring of the Braves 4-2 victory over New York. He hoisted a long homer in the fifth to score the margin of victory. He scored two runs and drove in two runs for his day’s efforts. brary Commission, Western Carolina Teachers College, and vocational edu cation. The House allowed an increase of close to SBO,OOO over committee fig ures for vocational education, hut ad ded only small amounts for the other two. Liquor Becoming A Problem Again (Continued from Page One.) gressives, ultra-New Dealers. They are the ones who put teeth in to New Deal measures, or go beyond the New Deal in spite of New Deal leaders in Congress. That may he a paradox, hut it. is the truth. As a recent example, Old Dealers in the House wrote conscription of men and of labor into the war profits bill. Progressives, rising against the Old Dealers, wrote that out and wrote in confiscatory taxes on war profits. Democratic leadres were more in sympathy with the first group than with the second. The fact is, the Democratic leaders in Congress have little sympathy with the New Deal. If prodded by President Roosevelt they will go ahead with New Deal measures. If not prodded, they will scuttle New Deal measures. The whole procedure points to a definite realigning of conservatives of both parties on one side against pro gressives of both parties on the other. STILL BAD Aw’kward incidents still occur on the New York Stock Exchange, in spite of control by the securities and exchange commission. The exchange began questioning op. erations in Hupp Motor Company’s stock. Instead of suspending the stock fro mtradir.g, the exchange governors finally referred the matter to SEC. Tn the meantime, old stockholders un loaded their holdings on innocent buy ers, as one of the conservative finan cial columns puts it. Machinery Set-Up on Relief Measure Nears Completion (Continued from Page One.) for tonight to determine their at titude toward the measure. Harrison’s bonus bill was estimat ed to add $500,000,000 to the present law’s cost, to the government. It would allow veterans to exchange their certificates for negotiable bonds. ’The maturity date of the certificates would he advanced from 1945 to 1938. The Senate debated the Bankhead bill to create a $1,000,000,000 fund for helping farmers and share croppers buy their own farms. Counties and Cities Might Lose Excess (Continued from Page One.) check, as present, on the actual value of these corporations. Under the present law, the State Board of Assessment has the power to raise or lower valuations as de clared by domestic corporations and to certify back to the counties the proper valuation. The State Board of Assessment is composed of tax ex perts in valuations, with the result that every report is given expert in vestigation. In cases where the board finds the valuation listed by a corpora tion is too small, it orders the valua tion listed by a corporation is too small, it orders the valuation increas ed. As a result of this law. as set forth in Section 603, the domestic corpora tions have been careful to list their property at its real value, knowing that if they did not do so, the State Board of Assessment would compel the mto do so bv changing the valu ations and thus put them in a bad light with the county, city or town tax authorities. It is generally agreed that this section of the Machinery Act has been responsible for millions of dollars of corporate property being listed on the tax books in local gov ernmental units that otherwise would never have been listed. It has been known for years that the big manufacturing interests, espe cially the textile, furniture and power interests, have been trying to get this section eliminated from the machinery act in every past session of the Gene ral Assembly. Indications are that they may succeed in this session. The argument for its elimination is that at the present time there is very little corporate excess found by the State Board of Assessment, so that there wil be very little lost by the local units if the section is eliminated entirely. But those familiar with conditions maintain that the only reason there is so little corporate excess found by the State Board of Assessment is that the corporations know the board will find it if it is not declared for taxa tion, with the result that they list their property at about its acual value. If these corporations did not know that their listings would be checked and double checked by the State Board of Asessment, however, they would soon start reducing their valuations for taxation purposes by charging off excessive amounts to replacements, depreciation, sinking funds and so forth, it is maintained. “At the present time, if a corpora tion has an actual valuation of $500,- 000 hilt lists its property at only $200,- 000 with the local tax authorities, it knows that the State Board of Assess ment will check up on it and compel its valuation to be increased to $500,- 000,” a member of the Senate said in discussing the present law. “But if this provision is no tleft in the law, a corporation will be able to list its pro perty at $200,000, even if it is really worth $500,000 and get away with it, since the local tax assessor or tax lister will not know the difference. “So if this machinery act is passed as no wintroduced, it wall mean that the local subdivisions will lose mil lions of dollars worth of taxable cor porate property within the next year or two, since they will know that, no check will he made on their listings by the State Board of Assessment. The elimination of this section will reduce the taxes of corporations by hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, unless they are more willing to list their property at its true value than most of them are.” STATE MIGHT YET PAY SALARY SLASH House Almost Passes Bill to Reimburse Employees Cuts in 1933 In the Sir Walter Hotel. Dally Dlapatch Bareat, BY J. C. Il AS KBit VI Li Li. Raleigh. April 17. Temporarily dead hut far from being buried, is the hill to pay the State employes and former State employes the $413,000 which was cut from their salaries during the month of April, May and Tune of 1933 by the director of the budget because there was not enough money in the general fund with which to pay the salaries in full, thus neces sitating a 25 per cent cut. The bill to pay this money was introduced by Representatives Thompson, of Wake, and Morphew, of Graham. Tt was reported unfavorably by the House Appropriations Committee, hut was placed on the calendar with a minor ity report. After more than two hours of fiery debate Tuesday afternoon, the House failed to pass the bill on second read- j ing by a vote of 43 to 43. If its pro. | ponents had gotten only one more ] vote it would have passed. As a re- ' suit, an attempt is expected today or tomorrow to reconsider the vote by ! which it failed to pass second read ing. The effort is being aided by the powerful lobby of State employes and former State employes who would share in thed istribution of the $413,- 000 if the bill should pass. Wihile the bill was under debate yesterday, the lobbies and galleries wer* well filled with State employes and especially former State employes who have been working for weeks in behalf of this bill. Soipe of the most active lobbyists cr the bill have been former State employes no longer on the payroll. The bill, if passed, would pay the 25 per cent cut for the three months specified to all employes on the States payroll at that time, but would not restore the voluntary cuts made by the constitutional officers, the judges of the supreme and superior courts. The principal proponents of the bill who in addition to the introducers, included Representative McDonald, of Forsyth, and Representative Sentelle of Brunswick, who have been among the leaders of higher appropriations for schools, anjl all othei State pur poses. They maintained that 25 per cent salary cuts in April, May and June of 1933 constituted a breach of contract with the State employees and that the State was legally and moral ly bound to repay these cuts. They insisted that the State could not as- | ford to pay them the $413,000 cut from I their salaries in 1933. Representative Tam Bowie, cf Ashe j led the fight against the bill with | smashing lefts and rights to the chins jof its proponents, declaring that it ; was time for this General Assembly to wake up and stop appropriating j money to every one who wanted If, regardless of the justice. “This is only a salary grab on the | part of present and former State em ! ploves who are always out for all they can get,” Bowie shouted. “It is time to call a halt. Back in 1933, when these cuts were made, everybody else hacl taken cuts in salaries and incomes for several years. They are not asking i any one to repay them. The State em ployes should be satisfied with the increases we are going to give them in the appropriations bill—provided ; we can find enough revenue to make j them possible. But they are not satis ! fied. They want their hack pay re- I AUCTION SALE OF VALUABLE FARMLAND On The Premises I A Part of “BURNSIDE” Has Been I Subdivided Into Tracts From I 30 to 200 Acres and Will Be I SOLD RAIN or SHINE at 10:30 O’clock A.
