Pa^e Four THE PILOT, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Friday, August 17, 1934, Moore County Paid $47,414 Sales Tax Compilation Shows County Has 285 Merchants Doin^ Business The general sales tax of three per cent brought a total of $6,011,700.16 In revenue to the State (not includ ing $3,257.17 paid and refunded), during the first year of its operation, to June 30, as is known. It is not generally known, how’ever, that chain stores which have their main offices outside the State paid nearly a million dollars of this sum, or $859,653.27, while $5,118,875.26 was' collected from local merchants and from chain stores which have their main offices within the State. Of the amount, too,, $36,408.80 was collected as the SI registration fee for each merchant doing business in the State, the odd cents in the case of each county resulting from penalties im posed of a few cents for delayed pay ment of this fee. With sufficient allowance for the small penalties, it is seen that there were approximately 36,350 merchants paying the registration fee during the past year, this tax being in lieu of former heavier taxes on merchants and reduced in consideration of their services in collecting the general sales tax. Fourteen counties, 10 in the west and four in the east, paid above $100,000 to a grand total of $3,153,- 516.79 of the total tax, of considera bly more than half of it, a compila tion shows. Mecklenburg led with $772,096.66; Guilford paid $339,643.19; Forysth, $285,341.61; Wake, $269,- 6S1.87; Buncombe $246,676.48; Dur ham, $201,828.06; Gaston, $170,249.50; New Hanover. $141,875.43; Ala mance, $124,374.05; Vansce, $117,- 473.46; Pitt, $111,004.43; Rowan, $109,107.64; Rockingham, $103,811.82; Cabarrus, $100,352.61. Moore county paid a total of $47,- 414.87 during the past year in sales tax. Of this, $40,351.35 was paid by local merchants and merchants with their main offices within the State: $6,776.52 by chain stores witto main offices outside the State, and $287.00 as the $1 registration fee, by which )t is seen that this county has about 285 merchants. Another compilation shows that the 54 counties west of Wake paid 64.64 per cent, or $3,885,764.87 of this tax and 46 eastern counties, including Granville, Wake, Harnett, Hoke and Scotland, and those eastward, paid $2,125,935.29, or 35.36 per cent of the total sales tax paid last year.

The reason for this revolt against union orders is that they are satisfied with living conditions there. The Badin plant is one of the most advanced types of industrial institutions in the country. It looks more like a subur. ban residential section than a manu facturing community, the homes be ing architectural models and the workers supplied with all concevia- ble conveniences. Nor has there been any complaint on the score of wages. In short, the Badin industrial com munity was founded and has been conducted as a co-operative institu tion and the best of feelings have been maintained between managers and operatives.

BANK LAW ON NON-RESIDENT The estate of President Theodore Roosevelt won a decision in New York Monday in the Supreme Court over an attempt by the banking com missioner of North Carolina to col lect an assessment of $10,000 on stock of a closed trust company ni the state. Justice P^ter Schmuck held that Notice to Delinquent Tax Payers In compliance with Chapter 181, and amendments thereto, Public Laws of 1933 foreclosure proceedings will be instituted on September 1, 19S4, on all un-redeemed tax sales' certificates covering unpaid taxes of the years 1927 to 1931 inclusive. The County Commissioners do not have any discretion in this mat ter and must proceed according to law. Property owners who have not paid their taxes for the years 1927 through 1931 should do so before Sep tember 1st in order to avoid fore closure proceedings. Noore County Board ol Commissioners
