FEW MERCHANTS ARE TRYING TO BEAT SALES TAX People Generally Cooperate With State Revenue Department Raleigh.?Comparatively few mer chants are deliberately trying to evade the sales tax, although there are some who continue to either reiuse to pay the tax at all or evade payment by refusing to keep any books or records, according to Director George Scott, of the Division of Accounts of the State Department of Revenue, in charge of collecting all state taxes. "All of the better class merchants are cooperating splendidly in the col lection of the sales tax and we are having very little trouble With fully 90 per cent of the merchants," Scott said. "They take the position that since the law is on the books, it must be observed and know that nothing can be done to change it until after Jvty t, iVdarat the earliest. Tlitj alau understand the law better now and are not finding it as troublesome as at first." ? Tlieie are state, lu'wcvcr, v^li" are still trying to evade it and doing everything possi ble to obstruct the efforts of the de parment of revenue to collect the tax, Scott said. These are eihcr refusing to keep any records or destroy their records. But these tactics are not helping them any and not worrying the department of revenue, since it has authority to estimate the amount of tax in these cases and then levy a penalty amounting to as much as 100 per cent of the amount of tax due each month, Scott pointed out. "One of our auditors went to a merchant in Winston-Salem recently who had not made any saleh tax rt* turn and asked for a return." Sett said. This merchant refused to make any. When asked for his books and* records, he said he did not have any books or records, and said: "'Now that you don't know what my sal< s have been, w hat are y??u go ing to do about it?" The department of revenue has been looking up his batik deposits and other records, has obtained a fairly accurate indication of bis average daily and weekly sales and indications are that he has about decided to pay the amount of taxes due rather than have the assessment of twice the amount due made agaitrst him.

A week or so ago one of the field auditors went into the store of a mer c ha tit in an eastern Carolina city who had so far failed to make any Returns, told the merchant that he owed the sales tax on his sale-* for 10 month', 'and asked to see his hooks and rec ords. __ "This merchant, although he em ployed ten clerks in his store, told our auditor that he did not keep any , books." Scoit said. "When-asked for his invoices, lie said he did not keep . thexiy either. -But he volunteered to , make out an estimate?of what?Ua ] thought his grossj sales were for each mouth and submitted these estimates, j They were so ridiculously low that : the auditor then asked to see his bank deposits hook He maintained he could not locate his book but promised to , have it next day.

This 30th day of June. 1934. jyh 2tw JOHN GARDNER. IN MEMORIAM FRANCIS LIE GLADSTONE Francis Lee Gladstone, son of W. R. and Mary Gladstone, was born in Hamiltoa, N C-, October R 1S70. All I the years of his life he lived in the ' town of his birth, loved it* whole heartedly and contributed to its well being. On February 12. 1876, he married Mollie (.'Ionian, who livrd but a short; while. After death, he continued to live in the Cloman home. On No vember 3, 1915, he married Gattie Clo man Gladstone, sister of his first wife and widow of his older brother. This J reunion of family ties was a fortunate one. Within the home among those who best knew him, he exerted a last- , ing influence and shared the gr<at' love existing there His mother and i father-in-law found in him a faithful son who extended to them the same , degree of consideraiton that he had ever shown to his own people. His mother, for years an invalid.' looked to him for support and care and found it always. His sister, in her later years, a crippled sufferer and a widow, trusted her busine* to him ancT herself considered it admirably Other members of his fam ily regarded his advice and affection very highly. Outside his bowie. a mong a circle of business associates and friends, he was liked and reyact ed. His sound judgment and finan cial aid were eagerly and frequently sought by thot who knew hit. Hot evtn his closest friends knew of tke many kind services he quietly ren dered as the opportunity presented it* self. He in common with the entire human family had his faults and his virtues. "Let him that is without sin cast th?; first stone.** The last few years of his earthly life were filled with bodily pain. Now. like Shelley in "Adonis,** we can re joice that: 4,He has outsoard the shadow of our night; i Envy and calumny and hate and pain. And that unrest which men miscall delight, Can touch him not and torture not From the contagion of the world's slow stain He is secure, and now can never mourn A heart grown cold, a head grown gray in vain; Nor, when the spirit's self has ceased to burn;* With sparkless ashes load an unla mented urn."
