Don’t fail to see him if your eyee are weak. Sixty-odd field workers for the Slate Department of Revenue, after attending a school for three days last week, girded up their loins and have gone out into the State with the avow ed purpose of collecting §2,000,000 in sales tax during the next two months, may and June, by the end of the fiscal year.

They checked their lists with those in the office and had the latest dope. Records in the sales tax office show that of the 31,000 merchants li censed in the state for this year, only 16,000 of them had made returns dur ing the entire month of April for their sales in March, leaving almost half that had made no returns. Some of them are not due to report each month, but many of the number sup posed to report had not done so, and the boys will go after them. North Carolinians bought more new motor trucks last month than they had ever bought before in any month in history, and bought more now pas senger cars than in any month since September, 1929, purchasing more than three times as many cars and almost three times as many trucks as in the month of April, 1!)3.3. In Ajiril just passed they bought ■1.9I>0 new pas.senger cars and 1,164 new trucks as compared with 1,601 cars and 394 ti'ucks in April, 1933, and with 2,980 cars and 582 trucks in last March. For the year the now sales have been 11,532 cars and 3,- 287 trucks, as compared with 5,109 cars and 1.225 trucks in the same four months of 1933, Director L. S. Harris, of the Motor Vehicle Bui'eau, reports. Chevrolets led in passenger cars with 1,723, Fords 1.291; Plymouth, i897; Pontiac, 197; Dodge, 166; Terra- , plane, 160; Oldsmobile, 106; Buick, j 85: Chrysler, 78; Studebaker, 66; I Hudson, 62, and four each of Cad illac, Lincoln and Packard.

I Teiephone rates will be lowered ! from 50 cents to $1 on the telephones , all over North Carolina, else the j Southern Bell Telephone and Tele- ' graph Co. will show cause, on May 17, ! why the lower rates should not be made effective, as for Raleigh, and at the same ratio, based on telephone population, in all of its exchanges in the state, an order issued by Utilities Commissioner Stanley Winborne pro vides. The rates to be used are those in effect in Raleigh, but the commis sioner orders that the rates be reduc- i ed throughout the state on the com pany’s exchanges on the telephone population basis, the basis to be de termined by the commission at the hearing called, unless the company can show cause why they should not be. “It appears to the Commission er that the income of the company is in excess of a fair return upon a fair valuation of its properties and that its exchange rates are unreasonably high in the city of Raleigh and throughout the state and should be reduced," Commissioner Winborne states.

Many amendments to the present Consti tution have been killed by fear of politicians that they would be hurt politically if they took sides, and not being informed, the voters cast their votes against any changes.

Miller Heads Sales Tax Fight LAYMAN WILL LEAD CAMPAIGN AGAINST SALES TAX S. H. Miller, of the Moore Hardware Co., Announces for the State Senate from this County. Says Major Issue of 1935 Leg:isslature Will Be the Tax Question That the sales tax as a revenue-protlucing measure has been a dismal failure is apparent by the desperate efforts during the last week on the part of proponents of this tax to explain away the exorbitant costs of its collection / I have nev’er been able to see the need of this new taxation, and believe my views to be exactly in accord with those of the thinking peo ple. I believe the state budget can and should be balanced without this un-American form of taxation. If electeji, I expect to vote to the end of time to make the state live within its income. Prohibition may also play an important part in the next general assembly. In the dry campaign last November, as head of the forces against liquor in this county, I carried Moore nearly three to one. You may depend upon me again if needed. I am not a lawyer, nor a politician, therefore I have no strings tied to me, nor none to tie. I will be free and able to vote for these things which are for the best interest of the state. (Signed) S. H. MILLER Candidate for State Senate, Subject to the Ac tion of the Democratic Primary
