C., MONDAY 'EVENING FEBRUARY ' 26, 1923 SIX )PAG$3 TODAY PRICE TWO CENTS ESS Revenue Bill to Senate; Forsyth Delegation Gen. Assembly Has a Big Part (Special Capital Correspondence.) Raleigh, Feb. 26. Forsyth Coun ty' delegation, which was strong ' enough to vote the necessary ma jority for the foreign stock tax exemption section of the new state revenue bill in the House, may with Senator Sams be strong enough to : furnish the surplus in the Senate, ! but bitterenders who hope yet to expunge ' that section from the revenue bill count on Mr. Sams. The bill gets into the Senate to day. Forsyth sent a solid support to the measure in the House. A reversal would have turned the trick on second, reading. Forsyth and Winston-Salem words fill the , legislative mouth. Politicians talk in terras of Winston-Salem and ' Charlotte. If one stand rankly on the outside and watches the game played.'one day he will vow, that the Charlotte theory of taxa tion dominates; the next, day t. will conclude that the metropolis : still lives. . . "State 'asaombly members,' however, do not see that Winston-Salem is to be hurt by adoption of either the Warren amendment , repealling thje section exempting foreign stacks, 'or - by accepting it. The- WUnston-Salem and Charlotte bias all comes about - this way: Several sessions ago the Legislature decreed that corporations which have two-thitnis of their belongings- in North Crolina shall . be .regarded domestic. The Forsyth tobacco, companies domesticate un- ler those terms. Conversely, cor porationa ' which h&ve.two-tharl3 or more are foreign. The Reynolds com pany is a North Carolina institution; the Liggett & Myers and the Ameri can Tobacco Company are not. Neither is the Southern Power Com pany, according to contention in Ra leigh. If therefore, . foreign stocks are exempted the Southern Power and the two large companies of 'Durham, related very intimately to the head of Southern Power, will be benefii- ciary. So long as the Reynold com- pany had that exemption its school of politics was accorded dominancy, if it has any school. If the new ! measure goes through the cynical will concede the passing of power. There is a general agreement that the. new revenue Dili will not narn a hair on a single Winston-Salemite head. . , Which 'possibly explains the at- titude of Messrs. Cox, Ferrell and .Hamilton. Likewise, it seema to ac count for Durham's vote. ' That coun .'ty will lose about $80,000 in taxes. ' Forsyth is next heaviest loser, but it "is- small by comparison with Durham. since Forsyth's foreign investments : ' arc large solely because it has so much more domestic stocks than any 1 other ounity. ' Practically, the' fear is greater than any fiscal fall-down may cause. Debt' Limitation Bill. Forsyth's delegation is figuring big again, this week. This will deter mine Senator Sams' debt limitation bill and constitutional amendment, and without ability to quote the For syth man, it is understood that ho is going to make his limitation larger than 5 per cent. However, the pub lic has misunderstood tain almost uni formly. The limitation laid on the . people is legislative. tThe five per cent, dead-line is that which marks the limit by which debt can be made without a vote of the people. Mr. Sams is understood to be working on a measure which wilt be far more flexible than .people expect it to be. When the appropriation bill went into the fulTcommittee on appropria tions today, and then into the Gen eral Assembly, institutions which had been deep down in the mouth look-. ed up. The Greensboro College for Worn erf had! been worst cut up by the bud- Set commission's allotment to it.
