CLASSIFICATION OP
TAXESCONSIDERED
Meeting in Charlotte Next
We k To Study Consti
tution Amendment
Dally Dispatch Iliircan.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Ra|cl : (gh l , Dec. 9. —The Classifica
tion Commission, authorized by the
1937 General Assembly, will meet In
Charlotte December 17 and 18, Chair
man A. J. Maxwell said today.
The commission is making a thor
ough investigation of the effect of
homestead exemptions from taxation
levies on intangibles and other meth
ods of taxation possible under the
“classification”’ amendment adopted
to the State Constitution in the 1936
general elections.
There will be no specific agenda
at the meeting, Mr. Maxwell said, but
the entire matter will be gone into
thoroughly, with all members of the
commission exchanging information
.Mid views.
Members of the commission, besides
Mr. Maxwell, are Dr. Clarence Poe,
Raleigh; S. H. Hobbs, Chapel Hill;
Ben B. Gossett, Charlotte; Marvin T.
Blount, Greenville; and Vernon W.
W. Flvnt, Winston-Salem.
Perhaps the most important single
feature being examined by the com
mission is the effect on county fin
ances should the General Assembly
enact into law the exemption from
axation of homes actually occupied
V their owners up to the value of
SI,OOO. It has been contended by the
North Carolina Association of Coun
ty Commissioners that such exemp
tions would badly cripple county iin
anccs, in some instances reducing the
tax valuations as much as 40 per cent.
In the 1937 General Assembly there
was some effort to. secure the exemp
tions, advocates contending that to do
so was a “mandate of the people ex
pressed at tttfe polls”, but the State
administration forces, dominant at
every turn in the assembly, voted
solidly against exempting homes at
that time.

FREED OF CHARGES
Had Been Involved in Alleged Gamb
ling Slot Machines; Grand
Jury Refuses Bill
Greenville, S.* C., Dec. 9.—(AP) —
Representative Lewis Prince and
Francis Drake, former restaurant op
erator, today was freed of gambling
conspiracy charges when the grand
jury refused Solicitor Robert Ash
more’s request for their re-indictment.
The new bill of indictment, prepared
in a prosecution effort to delay trial
of the case until the next term of
court because of the absence of James
Bush, State witness, was handed to
the grand jury this morning. The jury
returned shortly after with its report
of a “no true bill.”
Thus ended a case spotlighted in
local court circles since the grand
jury fifst presented Prince in March.
The legislator, Drake, Otis Jamison
and George Clapp shortly afterward
were indicted for alleged conspiracy
to operate slot machines, pay officers
for protection and “extort protection
money” from other operators.
First trial of the case in Septem
ber resulted in a mistrial for Prince
and Drake and conviction f "
son and Clapp. n f °r Jami-
