Gill's statement on holding taxes
strikes strong blow for bond issue
BY CLIFF BLUE
EDWIN GILL ... Edwin Gill’s
statement last week that the $61,
665,000 Capital Improvements
Bond Issues could be paid off
without an increase in state taxes
is a powerful lick in behalf of
the bond issues.
Edwin Gill is regarded as a
conservative and an authority on
matters of finance and taxation
so when he makes a statement
of this nature the people take
note. —.
TAXES . , . Speaking of
taxes, we do not feel that there
should be any need to increase
, 'Intimate' has
new manager
The Intimate Bookshop lias a
new sales manager, accrding to
Paul Smith, president of the
famous Chanel Hill hang-out.
Carl Apollonio, who has been
sales manager for three years
has joined the sales ..staff of the
J. B Lionincott Company, Phila
delohia publishers. His place has
been taken by Wallace Kuralt.
Mr. Kuralt is a graduate of the
University of North Carolina,
and first worked at the Intimate

For the past year he has been
in charge of paper-backs.
In addition to his talents as a
bookman, he is a master of the
hull fiddle, and ponular with
jazz afficionados on the campus.
Less well known hereabouts is
his skill ,ad skindiving, which
earned him the nickname of
“The Walrus” in skindiving
cirlces on Cape Cod this sum

GIL WINS I T
4..Dr. Federico G. Gil, Professor
of Political Science at UNC, has
been awarded a United States
Educational Exchange Grant to
the University of Minas Gerais,
in Brazil. Dr. Gil will lecture in
“Latin American Government
and Politics.” The university is
located in the city of Minas
Gerais, Brazil. .
State taxes in the foreseeable
future, unless taxes are first
reduced right much, which
could happen.
We suspect that there will
be some tax exemptions before
there are any increases! In
the 1930’s we had the sales
tax pretty much as it is today,
but the General Assembly kept
nibbling at it, and in 1940 X.
Melville Broughton was elected
* on a platform to take the tax
off the table, and off it went
from groceries.
Governor Sanford himself
has already come out in favor
i of doing away with the tax
on the sale of newspapers,
i since the law does not cover
j sales made by carriers han
I dling less than 1000, but im
| poses the tax on subscribers
j who buy from a carrier han
dling over 1000 papers. -
SMALL VOTE . . . Most people
are saying that the passage of
the ten bond issues totalling
$61,655,000 will stand a—better
chance of passage in a small
vote rather than a big vote. Most
people predict a small vote in
comparison to the biennial gen
eral election vote. The general
feeling is that in a smair vote
those interested in the passage
of the issues will be doing most
of the voting and many of those
opposed will simply not take the
time to go to the polls.
But the people should study
the issues thoroughly and go out
in mass and vote the way they
deem best for the state.
HONEST REPORTING . . .
Sam Ragan, Executive editor
of the News and Observer, and
Ashley Futrell, editor of the
Washington Daily News in
Beaufort County have taken
sharp issue with Senator Ben
Sumner and John I. Anderson
of the Transylvania Times re
garding Sumner’s statement
there was a need for honest re
porting in covering the Gener
al Assembly. Ragan and F'u
trell have called for specific in
stances of dishonest reporting,
or in other words, put up or
shut up.
PROM GERMANY . . . Voit
Gilmore, Director of U. S. Travel
Service, in a letter to the writer
while in Germany says: “Berlin’s
prosperity is so great that jobs
are looking for people. Many
German businessmen' can afford
to travel to the U.S.A. It’s the
job of the U. S. Travel Service
to urge more to come and to
bring their families along for a
TJ. S. vacation. Our opportunity
is enormous. Germans now are
prosperous and they are born
travellers.”
