C., MARCH 10, 1932 x ry Thursday Sales Tax Proposal May Result In Drys Voting For Beer Tax Washington, March 8.—Like a Hollywood actress when she had attained stardom when such a break was least expect ed, Rep resehtative Doughton was rather astonished today when the returns began com ing in after his declaration against the tax bill just fash ioned by the ways and means committee, of which he is a member. Even the Yankees liked what he said about the tax on imported oil, and oil pro ducts, because they have long, hard winters, need the import ed oil for fuel, and as noted yes terday, it is needed for the hard hit American merchant marine. First American shippers have theoretically at least, been de prived of the privilege, of sell ing liquors, and now there is the threat that they will be un able to secure cheap fuel oil. New England members threat en, therefore, to vote against the bill if the oil tax remains a feature thereof. Southwest members on the other hand—and Speaker Gar ner hails from that region— threaten to vote against the bill if the oil tax is not left in'it. Many southern people, inelud ing the textile interests, do not take kindly to the sales tax, and Mr. Doughton is receiving en couragemeftt for his stand against the bill from such sourc es. The North Carolina mem ber received telepnone calls to day from manufacturers, and from newspapers that are dis inclined to support the new tax bill, and some of the press rep resentatives requested an up to-date picfure of the gentleman from the eighth. Sinpe he is a member of the committee, probably there will row devolve upon Mr. Dough ton the job of leading the op position to the new revenue measure, which is designated * to balance the treasury bud get, and if be dews earrybis opposition to such lengths, the North Carolina member will have to point out to Congress and the country where the mon ey needed by the treasury is to come from, some alternative course, if the new bill is not found acceptable. As repre sentative Lindsay Warren, just back from the state, said today, the sales tax is the heart of the bill, and if that feature is cut out, it automatically cuts out the heart. The state delega tion is divided on the sales tax plan. Mr. Doughton declines to ac cept the thesis that there must be a balancing of the budget at this time if a rush of matter and a crash of worlds is to be avoided. He thinks, on the con trary, that the time for reduc ing the national debt is when business conditions are good, and that the time to borrow is when such conditions are not so favorable. And taxing the necessaries of life, he argues, is no way to encourage the peo ple to resume a normal mode of life, to put their money back in to the banks, or into the regular channels of trade and com merce. Mr. Doughton will short ly formulate a plan for raising the needed revenue which, he feels sure, will prove far less burdensome than will a gener al manufacturers’ sales tax, H adopted. Sentiment is growing for the Cullen amendment, proposing a tax of $5 a barrel on 2.75 beer. Many of the members oelieve they are approaching an acid test of the dry laws, that if the people would rather pay an ad ditional tax even on the clothes they must buy, rather than put a tax on mild beverage, the pros pect of bringing about a modi fication of the Volsted act in the near future will be any thing but bright. Even members listed as dry think the Cullen amendment should receive careful thought and attention, that it would probably produce in excess of $300,000,000 annually, and lead in the direction of temperance and law enforcement. Even the Lindberghs, in their distress and humiliation, it is pointed out, have been obliged to ap peal to a New York beer bar on for help in locating their stolen baby, and these beer deal era go untaxed, unless the treasury department can get them under the income tax law. . The big dealers are seldom bothered by the dry laws. There is also the theory that if a beer amendment could be made to stick in the tax bill, there would be a tendency to take the liquor issue out of politics, and it wpuld not plague the Democrat ic and Republican national con ventions, because very many people, it is thought, would be willing to compromise on beer and wine. Moreover, it would be one avenue of escape from the sales tax. A spectacular fight is cer tain to be staged for the beer amendment before the tax bill is finally acted uppn by the house. With congressional wets seeking a record vote on legal ization of beer, Secretary of Agriculture Hyde today put his experts to work in preparation of the long awaited report on the value of beer manufacture to the farmer. j Beer, according to depart mental economists, would have little benefit in so far as the hop crop is concerned, but it j would aid agriculture through providing a market for barley. ! The Hyde report, however, is I counted on to minimize even I this claim. It is understood the report will not be made public unless it is requested by Congress, but | Hyde wants to be ready with it | should he be asked for an ac | counting. So the prospect that wet arguments for beer as an economic factor will be met by contrary views eminating from an administration source. A minority report from the house ways and means com mittee demanding a tax on 2.75 per cent peer was filed today by Representative Cullen, of New York, Representative Sullivan, also of New York, and Repre sentative McCormack, of Mass achusetts. This minority report agrees that the ways and means com mittee was wise in undertaking to frame a bill calculated to wipe out the treasury deficit at the close of the fiscal year 1933. It urges, however, that taxes on beer would relieve the people and industry from a good part of the burden imposed by the tax bills as reported by the ways and means committee to the house. The members of the ways and means committee support ing the beer amendment sought to have it included while the bill was still in the hands of the committee. Their proposal was defeated, however, last Sat ' tri'day hy- a vote of 21 'to O^Tn “If a new source of revenue could be discovered,” said the minority report submitted to day, “the extent to which it would bring revenue into the treasury would operate to re duce the burden imposed upon the people and upon industry in the bill as reported. “It is about time that the taxpayers realized that a mod ification of the Volstead act permitting the manufacture and sale of beer would nob only bring greater respect for law and order; not only reduce cor ruption and crime; not only bring about an elevation of moral and social conditions, and assure employment to hun dreds of thousands of the un employed, but would bring into the federal treasury revenue ap proximating $350,000,000, with out regard to income in corpor ations’ taxes, and without re gard to revenue that would flow to the federal states and their subdivisions.” The report said some persons have estimated that such a tax would produce for the treasury a sum in excess of $450,000,000. “It is our intention,” the re port continued, “to propose an amendment to the bill reported, making legal the manufacture and sale of 2.75 per cent beer, which will enable a tremendods sum to be raised thereby re ducing, if adopted, the heavy burden imposed by the bill as reported by the committee. “Without referring to any other argument in favor of the change in existing prohibition laws, it is difficult for us to un derstand why there should b6 any opposition to any such pro* posals, particularly at this time, when the revenue derived there from will operate as a relief and assistance to every person and industry in the United States. It is impossible lor us to understand why people of the states that adopted prohibition should object to such a propos al, when the revenue raised will come wholly from those states whose people look at this question from a more liberal viewpoint. This is particularly so when paid into the treasury it will be used for the benefit of all the states of the union.” The minority report said the ways and means committee has recognized officially the exis tence of bootlegging by pro viding for a tax on malt syrup, used in the manufacture, of il legal beer, of 35 cents per gal lon .estimated to raise $15,000, 000. The report added that the bill also recognized bootlegging by levying a tax on wort, which, with the use of yeast, becomes illegal beer, estimated to raise $34,000,000, and also by a tax of 40 per cent ad valorem on concentrated grape juice, which easily ferments into wine. “By taking the illegal busi ness,” said the report, “we raise approximately $60,000,000;by i making the same illegal busi Iness legal, we can honorably ********:£** * MAYODAN * % j)s sjc Mr. and Mrs. W.

They pointed, too, to the excise taxes and the manufacturers’ sales tax levied in the bill, part of which could be eliminated if the beer tax were imposed: For example, they said: “The adoption of the propos ed amendment would enable us to reduce the amusement tax, the tax on telephones and other messages, exempt medicines, clothing, cereals, processed foods, and still enable us to re duce the manufacturers’ excise tax to about 1 1-2 per cent in stead of the recommended rate of 2 1-4 per cent.” Read The Messenger ads and buy it at home. V Pithy Quotations from Public Addresses of MEL^lN A. TRAYLOR Prasid^l fl irst National Bank, Chicago “It is time some leadership and some party called our attention to tlie tact there is no magio^nre for the ills and the evils of hui&an folly. We trod the primrose pan\ of ex travagance, of thoughtless, and of almost criminal neglect of every sound principle of human Conduct, from the individual to the^irovern ment, and the individual wds aided, encouraged, and abetted jtta that path by the government aid those responsible for its administration.” "One of the biggest things was a Watered state of mind in \^jjiich we all thought we were richer .than we were, and were living beyond our means,” 8. i “In my opinion, no great 'division of human society has ever bfeen lied to, and lied about, ,as Inuch In the same period of time, as jins the American farmer.” W. “This then is my hope, 'ior our future—that we maybe rieh without forgetting to be rightfiousr|hat we may l>o powerful without being offensively proud; th%t we may be nationally minded without being narrow-minded; and, finally, that we may live in a world ot^ct with out surrendering our faith.” “I would urge consideration of the complete abolishment of so called floor trading, which; as I am informed, has about it-most of the characteristics of plain crap shoot ing, and few, if any, more redeem ing features than that delightful Ethiopian pastime.” • * * Si •"It is bail enough wffen the in telligent and wealthy speculate and lose, but when gci;ubwrf laborers, small home owners^vwiv-. T and youths speculate an£ lose,'1 simply because they can go to a broker’s office and get credit for small sums, the practice ceases to be defensible on any ground.” * ». * “Out of the stress and difficulty of tile situation I believe gradually we shall return tO"simpler_thinMng and simpler living. For it seems'to me that we want above everything to abandon the struggle to live up with the Joneses, and to rediscover the true purpose of life, which is the joy to be found In the simple virtues of industry, thrift and sane living, I believe in our people, In our country, and in the God who directs our destinies; and I welcome tlio future with confidence and un shaken faith.” •> "We have not failed because of Ignorance of economic theories, but because of our utter disregard and defiance of all. economic laws. An. WlfSllT stupidity, and greed have dictated policies, and trouble has been the result." "All through history . . . the na tions that have been agriculturists and have included in their agric :1s tural and domestic pursuits the breeding and raising of livestock have been the nations that ■have en dured the -longest and performed the greatest work for mankind.' * * * "Open the door of an agricultural school and you close the door of a poorhouse.” • • * "Relief from owing too much money does not lie in borrowing more.” * • * "Human welfare, I believe, me, ns more titan the mere assurance to the individual of political right — life, liberty and the pursuit ot hap piness—as enunciated'in the Decla ration of Independence; it means also the opportunity, to exercise these inalienable rights,” "Knowledge is one thing' but courage of leadership is another.” “Falsehood and error make the headlines, while truth and fact are lost in the maze of half-point type.” * * * “What does freckle-faced Johnny, snub-nosed Bill or red-headed Jim care about composition, translation or conjugation? The only cube root life •will ever give them a chance | to extract will probably be that of Ua hickory or sassafras sprout; tlie PjQy unknown quantity they will PLVer seek to And will be the [ measure of the nubbins they can produce on the worn-out iields their fathers have robbed before them; the only conjugation they will ever undertake will sound something like 'We Work,’ ‘You Work,’ 'They Work’.” “We cannot trade the hungry.'the unfed, the feeble voice of the sick, the empty basket of the unem ployed, against the maintenance of party preference or individual ad vantage or personal achievement." “I believe I am a better farmer by a long shot than I am a banker.” “We must either all thrive to gether or all suffer disaster.” (JIVING POISON MIXTURE FOR TOBACCO PESTS The tobacco flea beetle may be controlled by dusting the young plants with a mixture of paris green and arsenate of lead where the tight trap beds were not used and there is a heavy infestation, C. H. Brannon, extension en tomologist at State College, re ports wide prevalence of the flea bugs this spring due to heavily infestation in the fields last lall and the unusually mfld winter. The insects are appearing in large numbers ov er a wide area of the State, he says, and some growers report heavy damage even at this ear ly date. The flea beetles are at least a month early in their at tacks. “Those growers who are us ing the tight trap beds,” says Mr. Brannon. “We have estab lished a number of these as demonstrations in various parts of the State and if possible, nearby growers should visit such a bed and be prepared to build one like it next season. Those who do not have such beds and are troubled with the flea bugs should prepare now io poison them.” Mr. Brannon recommenuj me use of one pound of pans green and five pounds of arsenate ef lead mixed together thoroughly and dusted on the young plants dry. He recommends using the mixture at the rate of one-half pound to each 100 square yards of plant bed. Remove the cov er to make applications and so dust the poison that each plant is covered uniformly. To dust ii>-lumps or spotches will cause burning of the tender leaves. A good hand duster is the saf est machine to use. The number of dustings Will of course depend on the severi ty of the infestation. However, Mr. Brannon suggests making the applications once each W6ek as long as the beetles are notic ed on the beds. ___ '4M»» Lost—on streets ISst Sat day, cameo brooch. Finder i T. B.

Early in the night, Saturday, rain began to fall, and it fell in torrents until about 8 o’clock Sunday morning. Then the snow fell for several hours. Re gardless of the wet ground and the comparative warmth of the earth, it soon covered the ground, and during this time mercury took a tumble, follow ed by a strong wind. The streams in this section ail left their banks and the rivers were higher than they had been in three years or more. Monday morning the thermometers reg^ istered about 20 above, which is the lowest recording in this section during the present win ter. In fact, our people exper ienced the first real winter of the season, and it caught many unprepared for its sudden ap pearance:. It is to be hoped that this cold wave will have a whole some effect on the wheat akd other crops. In other sections of the coun try tbP storm did a great deal of damage, playing havoc with telegraph and telephone lines, while traffic, both rail and high way, was greatly disrupted, as the storm seems to have been general in its scope. TOBACCO EXPERT TO BE IN WENTWORTH SAT’DAY Wiliam G. Finn, from the Bureau of Agricultural Econom ics, Washington, will be at the Wentworth high school Satur day, March 12th, at 10:00 o’ clock to discuss the tobacco out look. Mr. Finn perhaps will be able ta advise the tobacco farm ers in regaYd to planting and he should have some idea about what the needs of the manu factures are going to be. This meeting will last for perhaps two hours. It will be worth any tobacco grower’s time to attend this meeting. It is to be hoped that a large atten dance of. Rockingham tobacco growers will be present. Mr. and 3, Saturday, 4* »'• *T* 'i* '•* *.• - - * STONE VllXE Mrs, i ■ lained the \Y. jf Socle?-. o' th Christian Church Tin - : temoiip, Mrs. IJ. J,.
