PAGE TWO Drafted Tax Collectors Number Twice U. S. Army Raleigh, Nov. s.—Service station men of North Carolina from one regi ment of an army of tax collectors, drafted and serving without pay, and twice as large as the regular enlist ed army of the United States, R. G. Johnson, secretary of the North Caro lina Petroleum Industries Commit tee, reported today. The Army, totalling 250.000 strong, is comprised of men who work in the 180,000 service stations throughout the country and who turn over to-the federal and state treasuries almost one billion dollars annually, he ex plained. "Recent studies have disclosed that one-third of every dollar received by the service stations from their cus tomers represents payments of taxes. In other words, for every dollar that the service station receives for his goods, an average of 43 cents goes to the tax collector,” said Mr. Johnson. "This means that one-third of service station gross receipts goes to the gov ernment in tarfes. No other business in the United States is penalized to that extent.

One-third of the service station man’s time in supplying customers’ cars with fuel, oil, water and air is spent as an unpaid, drafted tax col lected..• These workers might well doff their uniforms every third day and don the badge and garb of a tax collector. "There is a lot of talk about hidden taxes. Why. then, not talk about the hidden- tax collectors? During the World War the famous ‘dollar-a-year men' were prominent in the ; news. But the service station tax collector gets neither the glory nor the dollar! "The service men of this state are not opposed to reasonable taxation of gasoline by the state to finance highway construction and mainten ance, but they are opposed to double taxation by both the federal and the State governments. They are opposed to excessive taxation which amounts to 40 per cent or more of the cost of gasoline and the use of the revenue for general purposes. And from what the customers say, they have similar sentiments.” PHONE EXECUTIVES TAKE DUAL OFFICES Carolina Company Men, Including J. R.

Equally as Important As Improving Production Methods In State College Station, Raleigh, Nov. 5 The development of human resources on North Carolina farms is fully as important as improving crop produc tion methods and conserving and building up the soil. That is the view taken by the N. C, Agricultural Experiment Station in conducting research studies of the State’r rural population, said Dr. R. Y. Winters, director of the experi ment station. Any adequate program for the ad vancement of rural people must be based on knowledge gained from a thorough study of living conditions on the farm and the sociological and economic aspects of rural life in the Stave, Dr. Winters stated. In the coir** of its studies, the sta tion had published a. number of bul letins showing the findings made by various members of the staff.
