ness conditions, but It sees a hope
ful sign in an Associated Press dis
patch from Detroit dated August 4.
This story chronicles the return to
work of 116.500 employes in the va
rious automobile factories of that
city. Ford called 100,000 back to their
jobs; Oakland, 5.3000, Timken-Do
troit Axle comjyiny, 2,000; Graham
Paige, 1.15.0, and Packard, 8.500. Un
doubtedly this marks the beginning
of a period of gradual improvement
in the automobile industry, and
when this sick giant begins to con
valesce every other business will'm
prove with it.
Of course, no boom period is im
mediately ahead, but there should De
a slow healthy improvement
business during the balance of the
year, leading up to a good business
year in 1931.
The progressive publisher or prin
ter who is on his toes and ready TO
take-ad vantage of any opportuni
ties that occur should be able to
maintain a volume of business at
least equal to that of last fall.

State’s Big Revenue
From Buses, Trucks
Collect* Approximately 137,000 An
nually From This Source In
Carolina.
Raleigh, Aug. 27 —The six percent
state tax on the gross receipts of
i busses and trucks Is yielding the
.state approximately $370,000 a year,
it was revealed today by records at
the office of State Commissioner of
Revenue Allen J. Maxwell.
The tax on busses last year
brought Into the state treasury
$191,000, while that collected from
the operation of commercial trucks
totaled $179,814.
The tax of six per cent on the
gross revenue of trucks operated for
hire and busses was levied ten years
ago. At that time, It was estimated
that the tax paid by railroads
amounted to approximately the
same percentage of their gross re
venue.
In recent years, a movement has
been started by tile railroads seek
ing to have the tax paid by opera
tors of commercial trucks and busses
competitors of the railroads, In
creased. Railway officials claim that
trucks and busses are allowed to
use Improved highways constructed
out of the state's funds without con- '
tributlng their proper share to the
construction and upkeep of th" !
highways.
