Harar, Ethiopia, Oct, 30.?Thous-1
ands of Ethiopian and Italian sol-l
diers were locked in the first ma-1
jor battle of the month-old war in I
Ogaden, southern Ethiopia, tonight. I
Information from the south said J
the armies of Dejazmatch Nasibu I
and Ras Desta Dempu, numbering!
approximately 3f0,000 well-equipped I
warriors, were attempting to halt J
the Italian advance toward Jijiga,!
Harar and Diredawn, a point on!
Ethiouia's only railroad.
The Ethiopian's were reported I
standing their ground admirably I
against Italian armored cars, baby I
tanks and airplanes. Three Italian
columns were reported attempting I
to converge on Magalo, trading cen- J
ter for the southeast, which was I
bombed and set afire yesterday.
The Ethiopians were reported J
massed on the western side of the
ruined town. A fierce battle there I
was imminent, if not already in I
progress, all information indicated.
The Italians were reported fol-1
lowing their previous tactics of I
first blasting out the path of ad
vance with aerial bombardment, I
then sending in armored cars and
columns of Dubats and somalis, na
tive mercenary troops, to "clean up."|
This strategy has pushed the Ital-j
ian advance about 70 miles up the!
valley of the Webbe Shibeli, but I
the effort to grasp Magalo met re- J
sistance.
it was helieved Ethiopians under {
Dejazmateh Nasibu, after permit
ting the Italians to penetrate deep
ly into the Fafan and Webbe Shi
beli valleys, had sortied from strong
holds at Dagaburrh and Gorahai
and launched an offensive on which,
the fate of the southern campaign
may rest. The battle either would
stall the Italian advance definitely
or would endanger the Ethiopian
defenders' position immediately
southward of Harar and Jiiiga.
A rout of the Ethiopian troops
would throw them back on the Addis
Ababa-Djibouti railroad, pria e ob
jective of the Italian drive from the
south and which Dejazmateh Nasi6u
is determined to hold at all costs.
The utmost secrecy surrounds all
movements of Ethiopian troops. So
guarded have the authorities become
that this correspondent had diffi
culty re-entering Harar today from
the outskirts.

Sales Tax Receipts In
This State will Amount
To $870,000; May Go
Still Higher
V
? " :?* I
Raleigh, Oct. 3V.?*newui guea iu<
forth Carolina amounted to afp
roximately $300,000,600 in Sep
ember, based on the sales tax re
eipts of $870,000 already received
y the Department of Refenue, Di
ector George Scott of the Division
f Collections and Accounts, pointed
ut today. Additional receipts to
ay and tomorrow may make the
igure go still higher. In addition,
he department collects about $10,
00 a month from the tax of one
wentieth of one per cent on whole
ale sales, indicating a wholesale
olume of at least $20,000,000 a
lonth, not including sales made
utside the state, which are non
axable. '
The taxable retail sales have not
ropped under $25,000,000 a month
ince the exemptionless sales tax
rent into effect in July, Scott point
d out Including the retail sales
f sweet milk and other articles
rhich are still exempt from the 3
er cent retail sales tax, Scott esti
lates that the retail sales alone for
his year are averaging $30,000,000
month or $360,000,000 a year. The
ixable retail sales have been aver
ging about $20,000,000 a month
r $224,000,000 a year. Thus on the
a&is of the sales tax collections
rom taxable retail and wholesale
ales for the past three months, it is
stimated that these combined sales
ggregate at least $584,000,000 a I
ear.
These figures do not include real
state sales, sales of farm produce
y the farmers, the sales of minerals
nd timber, which are non-taxable
nder the sales tax and other ex
mpted sales.' If all these other
?ras should be included, the total
ales in the state would easily
mount to $75,000,000 a month or
(most $1,000,000,000 a year, with
ut including the sales of goods By
lanufacturers, none of which are
abject to taxation, since most man
factured goods are sold in inter
tate commerce and hence not tax
ble by the state.

Governor Ehringhaus
Reiterates Opposition
But Says It Must Be
Kept
Raleigh, Oct. 31.?The sales tax?
repealed in New Jersey, faced with
repeal in Mississippi, berated seven
days a week'in North Carolina?sav
ed this State from bankruptcy, 'Gov
ernor Ehringhaus said yesterday.
But the Governor added quickly,
talking as he studied a revenue col
lections report before him.
"I am opposed to the sales tax.
Yes, I am opposed to it, but in an
emergency it was the only thing.
As a result of it, the State is finan
cially in first class shape.
"If there were something to sup
plant the sales tax, I would be gbid
i to hear about it There appears to
[ be nothing that will take the place
of the State's most 'cussed' tax?a
tax that nevertheless brings $9,000,
000 a year into the State Treasury."
When Governor Ehringhhus came
up from the Albemarle in January,
1933, to trke the oath of the State's
highest executive office, North
Carolina was on the brink of dis
aster?along with the rest of the
! nation.
To meet the existing emergency,
he turned to a sales tax, a three
per cent sales tax on everything
except bare necessities of food
stuffs. He suggested such a tax, not
because he favored it, but because
it appeared to be the only solution
in the emergency.
The 1931 general asembly finally
heeded the executive's message. A
three per cent sales tax was passed
after a bitter battle. And from that
day hence that body has been be
rated right and left. Governor
Ehringhaus will tell you the sales
tax saved the State. .;
"Nine millions of dollars a year
from the sales tax alone," the Gov
ernor pointed out ? "that's a lot
of money. It helps run the schools,
and takes care of a lot of expendi
tures. Stop that influx of revenue
and see where we are."
L_ T711 I 1 11A
uovernor Ciiirmgiiuu;-' aaiu mc oui
plus that is in the treasury could
run the ptate for one year if the
sales tax were abolished. After that
North Carolina would be sunk. No
other revenue, he said, brings in
such vast receipts -as the sales tax.
"Abolish the sales tax and ruin
the state," said Governor Ehring
haus. "Thafs what will happen."
"There are two things that con
stitute the majority of North Caro
lina's $30,000,000 appropriations:
Schools and debt service. There is
little left after they are taken care
of. Cut appropriations and abolish
the sales tax and you'll wind up
behind the eight ball. It can't be
done.
LL n 1! 4-sv
" XNorwi uaruuiut uuncii t wj w
hide its sales tax. That's why it Is
'cussed' so much. That's why it is
so obvious. We don't pay any par
ticular attention to federal tax on
gasoline because the merchant does
not remind y<*i that you are paying
such a tax. Btrt when you purchase
somtheing that falls under the three
per cent sales tax, the merchant will
tell you that" the extra penny is for
the State."
Now that North Carolina has bal
anced its budget, paid some of its
debts, is able to borrow money
whenever it so desires, all from the
salps tax, the howl is to abolish the
tax that feeds the land.
"There must be some sort of tax,"
the Governor reiterated, "if you
shove the tax back on land you will
have a revolution."

Week with Marked In
crease In Patronage
Noted
The sale of Monday of thiB week
established a new record for the
Farmville market in the number of
pounds sold on a single day's sale;
the largest figures in its past his
tory and probably the peak of the
future, until three sets of buyers are
available, 687,742 pounds being sold
for $184,407.69, at an average of
$26.81.
Official figures, released, reveal
that 22,427,474 pounds had been dis
posed of on warehouse floors here
this season, through Wednesday, for
the sum of $4,921,421.69, average
$21.94, as compared with 19,027,480
pounds sold during the entire season
of last year, which "closed on Decern
ber 7, the receipts being recorded as
$5,741,545.62, and the average $30.17.
i Sales last week went beyond the
total poundage marketed last season
as shown by above figures and those
of this week have been marked by the
large number of new patrons, who
have "tired out" the Fartaville mar
ket, and expressed themelves as
pleased with the trial.
With eighty-five per cent of this
crop estimated as sold already, ware
housemen are urging growers to
grade the remainder of their crop
carefully and well, and to give strict
attention to the conditioning of offer
ings before placing them on the
floors, in order that the highest dol
lar may be secured for their custo
mers. ? '
Based on late estimates the market
here is expected to sell around 27
million pounds this season.
MORE SPENT FOR
RELIEF THIS YEAR *
THAN DURING 1934
Washington, Oct. 29.?An official
summation showed today that the
government, despite its program To
end the dole, has spent more money
for relief so far this year than it
did during the same period of 1934.
This year's relief grants were plac
er at $1,227,973,573 compared to
$1,013,069,738 in the corresponding
ten months of last year.
The amount granted for relie'
since Oct.* 1 has been only a fraction
of what it was in October a year
ago, however, and officials are pre
dicting that increased employment
from the works program will bring
an end to all federal outlay for re
lief during November.
