PAGE TWO Revenue Conferees Facing Heavy Duty But All Senate Amendments, Including Restoration of Meals Tax, Are Likely to Stick; Good Chance for Building Tax to Be Broadened Daily DUimtrh Bureau* In Ihe Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Feb. 25.—With three im portant amendments tacked on by the Senate, the revenue bill will undoubt edly be sent to a conference where House and Senate conferees will be faced with the task of ironing out dif ferences which on their face seem to foe very difficult to reconcile. Any prediction of the conference’s action at this time would te little better than a guess, but there are in dications which lead observers who ought to know to the opinion that the Senate amendments regarding chain filling stations, building supplies and isales tax on meals will eventually bo accepted in virtually their present form. There are some, however, who do not take this viewpoint and who STEVENSON “PERFECT SOUND’ THEATRE Today and Tomorrow i JRf she wit lonesome!

Legg-Parham Co. profess to have information that the revenue bill finally enacted into law will exempt meals and go all the way in taxing building supplies. Gasoline Pump Tax Likely. There seems at present little dif ference of opinion that the flat $4 levy on gasoline pumps, the tax to be paid by wholesalers and distribu tors, will be included in the ultimate draft. Those who hold the view that meals will continue to be taxed say they Have reliable information that Gov ernor Hoey has dropped meals ex emptions from his “must list” and that he will foe willing for the present levy to remain in effect, despite the fact that the Democratic platform flatly, and in so many words, promis ed to remove the tax from prepared meals. Meals Tax To Stick. Certainly the Senate, which has given the g-av:; and serious consideration, .s unlikely to recede from the position it has taken on the roll call votes. Twice it has rejected amendments by Senator A. Hall John ston, of Buncombe, who sought to ex empt meals. The votes were 22 to 20 the first time and 25 to 21 the second, indicating that an absolute majority of the Senate favors the tax. Westerners are crying lustily that this is “another slap at the West,” legislators contending that the tax on meals will be destructive to the tour ist traffic; but ■ their lamentations seem destined to fall on deaf ears, from all indications. Those who voted to tax meals took the stand that the party platform al so pledged the Democrats .to remove the sales tax from “all Necessities” and they point to the fact that meals are no more “necessities” than shoes and groceries sold at the corner store, from which the tax has not been re moved. Would Levy AU Materials. On the building material issue there are several schools of thought, and although none of them is entirely sat isfied with action of the Senate, all of them are likely to accept it as a fait accompli rather than reopen a controversy upon which there can be no unanimous agreement, only a com promise. Outright opponents of the levy feel that the principle of taxation involv- VANCE Phone 775 Always A Good Show v .

These legislators would like to strike out the whole building material tax. but most of them recognize the necessity of rais ing revenue and are about reconciled. All in all a keen fight seems in pros pect, but it is a quite general belief that desire to balance the feudget and to end the current session as expedi tiously as possible will lead to ac ceptance of the Senate amendments, which on their face produce a balance. ** - ir ’ » You’re Telling Me! i <, By WILLIAM RITT Centra! Press Writer The Nizam of Hyderabad, an In dian monarch, holds two champion ships. He is the world’s richest man and the woild’s stingiest. He still has the first billion he made, down to the last rupee. The Nizam has so much dough that compared to him John D. Rockefeller, J. - P. Morgan, Henry Ford and Andy Mellon look like a park bench quar tet. And wnen it comes to tightwadery. His Frugal Higness makes the thrif tiest Scot in Edinburgh look like a rookie substitute in a Class D minor league. The Nickel-Nursing Nizam’s income is $5,000 a day, every day—including Sunday. Every time he takes a breath he’s $lO richer. Even, the sheep he counts, trying to fall to sleep, are said to have golden fleece. India’s Public Pinch-Penny No. 1 has one automobile that was built a bout the time Mussolini was first practicing those zfierce faces of his in front of a mirror and getting span ked by papa for it. Despite the advanced age of the royal skinflint’s gas gondola it has been driven by? 00 miles. At the end of 200 more miles and 20 more years he’ll have the car broken in and be able to let her out. Downhill, of course, with the ignition turned off. The world’s most parsimonious po tentate has a neat little trick of ad ding to his wealth. He will meet or speak to no one unless his visitor brings him a cash present. Well, at that, it’s worth two-bits just to see what a fellow such as the Nizam looks like. Scientists say the George Washing ton bridge measures 16 inches longer on a blistering hot day. To pedes trians it seems like more than 16 miles. Aesop’s fables were not written, we are now told, by Aesop. Which makes Aesop the greatest of his fables. The business ability of Sonja Henie, champion Olympic skater and now movie star, is remarkable, it is said.- Even in financial circles, it seems, Sonja cuts plenty of ice.
