PAGE 2 FIGHT ON SALET TAX QUESTION Hard to Predict Final Form Of History Being Written On Capitol Hill FARMERS ARE INSISTANT By M. L. SIIIPMAN RALEIGH, March 17.?Much history Is being written on Capitol hill these days, but it is difficult to predict just now what will be its final form. The Legislature fought a finished battle on allowing horse-racing in Buncombe and finally came back to earth. It has provided for stricter control of county finances * -? ? ?J _ a no win pruviut? iux omnw trc-1 of banking through a State banking commissioner. It has provided for a State controlled road system and has authorized a similar system for the constituted six months school term, but for weeks it has been at sea as to the source of revenue. Marching up the hill and down again, as the Legislature has done with numerous suggestions for raising revenue, and as it did on the horse racing bill befcre its final burial, it has now become an endurance contest. Even with a revenue bill to start on this week, it would take two weeks at best for the Legislature to complete its work. It will in all probability take longer. Already the Legislature has clone the unprecedented thing with the split between the House and Senate finance committees over the revenue bill. It will likely do many other unprecedented things before it finally adjourns. Despite all the heat over the respective merits the Day gross sales tax bill and the Hinsdale luxury tax measure, the real fly in the ointment is whether or not there shall be a sales tax levied. Many members of the Legislature are dead against any sort of sales tax, others are for it only as a last resort and the result is a lack of en thusiasm. The House finance committee finally backed the Day sales tax bill, but the Senate was standing against such a measure. There is a difference of a couple of million dollars in the two bills, the Day bill providing for a larger sum, and the two million dollars must be found. The alternatives are taxes cn electric power and larger corporation income taxes. Another is a statewide ad valorem tax, which would be looking backwards, as the State was committed ten years ago to removal of such a tax and got much advertising out of that fact. While the Legislature was sweating over the revenue problem, the largest army of farmers since Populist days invaded the Capital for a hearing before the joint finance committees. The Capital wouldn't bold 'em and adjournment was taken to a school auditorium. Their representatives told the Legislators that their was no idle gesture, that they had to have tax relief and would have it. They set themselves dc.wn against any general sales tax, but endorsed a luxury sales tax. It would hit most of them for their chewing tobacco, but they were willing to stand for that. The Legislature must now either provide for raising the money with which to support a six months cr*hnni form m* rpnpn 1 the MacLean statute, which it passed soon after meeting. Many of the members voted for this measure with reservations, but woke up to find that they had helped to pass a law, which would make it illegal for any county to levy taxes for support of the Constitutional school term. A repealer was put into the legislative hopper, but few members of the Legislature expected it to get anywhere. The Legislature has taken a revolutionary step, much more revolutionary than many of the members thought when it passed the MacLean bill. The Legislature had once gotten .rid of the revaluation problem by voting to postpone it until March 15the, the idea then being that it would have the revenue bill out of the way by this time. No such good luck happened, and now it has voted to postpone the revaluation until April 1st. By that time it hcpes to have the revenue bill out of the way. Some wanted to postpone revaluation until more settled times, but distressed farmers will not listen to that. They want tax values reduced this year not next year. After letting the Seawell bill pro viumg j.or a estate utummg tuuumutee sleep in committee for weeks, the House finally passed it by a good majority. The Senate is expected to do the same, and thus will pass from the State Corporation Commission control of the State banks. The bill is designed to provide for stricter control of the banks operating within the State. Already harassed with more pestiferous bills than have been in anj Legislature in a generation the General Assembly got one more in the Davis bill to give drug stores the right to sell whiskey on prescription. Physician members of the House favored it, but drug store proprietors opposed it, as they do not want to be bothered with keeping liquor. Some Democrats pulled # Warren ton, North Carolina THINGS THAT ! By GENE I I House K"<T UthJ^flS I^^OP!soMhiET fyjrffo Inter-nat'l Cartoon Co., out the platform of the last State convention pledging strict enforcement of the prohibition law and said the bill would be going back on that platform. The Legislature get another troujblesome sister out of the way with an unfavorable report on the Cherry bill making sabotage and syndicalism unlawful. Despite the big words, it meant no more than to : ' outlaw organizations whose members resort to violence in carrying out their doctrines. Labor lead Is said that it might mean than Labor unions would be put out of business simply because some member! resorted to violence over the protest of other members and that for this reason it was a dangerous bill. Re! presentative Cherry withdrew the bill from committee. Governor Gardner's reorgani-1 zation program got under way with; passage of a bill providing for the j reorganization of the State Board of Health.

( The Legislature finally disposed of the Constitutional convention problem by adopting a measure to submit to the voters of the State a proposal to have the revamping w done by a Commission, as Virginia sp recently did, the results of the Com- ! in lsslon's labor then being submitted 1 cl to the people for adoption or re- in Jection. tr The Legislature backed away from putting the State into the insurance al business.

A disastrous fire resulting in the raing of eleven convicts in Dupi county insured passage of an t to appropriate $400,000 from a nd issue for the erection of a w central prison. The bill went rough with little debate.

The women who lob;d against repeal promised to use \ eir influence to get Virginia and >uth Carolina to pass similar acts. I nnessee already has such an act. ' Governor Gardner faces a dif- j :ult job in naming his new State' ghway commission. Appreciative many citizens are of the honor serving on such a board, it is alized that a big task is ahead, le for which not much thanks J1 be received. Josephus Daniels, editor of the ileigh News and Observer, heard Gently that he was being conslded for a job of editing a dry newsiper in New York City. Too busy Ith problems before the Legislate to give outside matters attenon, he said that he had heard jthing. His friends hardly expect Im to leave his first love for an lventure in the great city. He likes orth Carolina too well to try his irtunes elsewhere. The army of merchants who came > Raleigh to fight the sales tax lis made a vivid impression upon le Legislature. Until they came, it as for one conclusion that such 1 act would be passed. They halted ie movement for the time being i least. iives Tips On Care Of Baby Chicks There will be some crippled and eakling chicks in every hatch delite utmost care in selecting breedig stock and hatching eggs. Such licks should be removed at hatchig time to prevent their giving ouble later. "Culling will be practiced by the nnnlfwm*on aimrv rlarr in fhA ,ciu puiuu jiuau vtmj UM^ v*?v :ar," says N. W. Williams, poultryan at North Carolina State Colge. "The watchful poultryman will { I $ f cen- I has | Yet, I who Live | Save | veek. | >ek to | rhose inlr I lliiv I < I Warren ton, Yoi detect any unthrifty chicks in his I flock and remove them as detected. Chicks that are slow in growing I should be removed to a separate I house or placed in a brood of simj ilar size. These should be marked for the market as soon as of sufficient size. Otherwise they might find their way into the laying house and possibly later into the breeding pens. If any chick shows signs of sickness, it should be taken from the flock and destroyed. Cremation is the safest and most satisfactory method of destruction." Mr. Williams does not believe that chicks should ever be helped out of the shell. Sometimes this is done where the eggs are partially pipped and the chick is unable to get out of the shell by its own efforts. When a chick has to be aided in this way, it is usually a weakling, will develop poorly and will likely die before reaching the laying stage. I Weaklings can usually be traced I back to the breeding flock, says Williams. The breeding birds need to be well cared fer as the season for hatching comes. This care should not be relaxed at any time. Exercise, a balanced ration and a , liberal amount of green feed or cod ! liver oil will aid in maintaining ; vitality and breeding ability. The eggs for hatching should always be carefully selected. Abnormal eggs usually mean a pocr hatch.
