tax on tobacco companies 47 per^
cent. It also adopted a mild iriijjp
chants sales tax of one-tenth of me
percent, which is estimated to briiia
in $900,000. It increased the income i
tax rate mildly and added material
ly to the taxes paid by power and j
public service corporations, over the
house provisions and over the pres
ent amounts paid.
The senate refused to adopt the]
Baggett proirosal of a surtax of 1,3j

corporations, over 10 per cent, and

a vote of 28 to 21. and by vote oi

son; Claude W. Allen, Granville; R.1
Ij. Harris, Person, and R, G. Cherry, j
Gaston, and than added A. D. Mac- ,
Lean, Beaufort and Gurney P. Hood
Wayne. He made the point that a!-'
though he is opposed to either sales j
or luxury taxes, he named a ma
jority of the committee member.*,1
from supporters of one or both of
these fasts
President R T. Fountain, of Mi

ponents of the two taxes, and J W.
Mi it'icicle-, Wake, introducer of the
luxurv Ux bill, and W G. Clark,
Edgeeon-e, mildly opposed to the
sales , tax. The at nate declined th •
invitation to name one or two mot"
members when the house increased
the number by two.
Committee May Deadlock
The conference committee is!
spending the week-end trying to
work out some solution whieh both
houses will approve, but it is a her
culean task. On the commute is a
majority for the state support of
the six months school term, and a
big majority for one or the other of
the two taxes. Some, however, for
one tax are bitterly opposed to the
other. Whether a deadlock will be
|reached in committee remains to be
(seen. Whether the two divisions of
[the tax proponents can get together
enough to have a majority over the
opponents of any tax is still a ques
tion.
And when the committee goes
back to the two houses with its re
port, if it can reach an agreement,
more fur is bound to fly. The house
apparently is as strong for carrying
out the provisions of the MacLean
measure as is necessary to get It
through that body, although there
have been numbers of breaks from
the original ranks. The senate, al
though by a smaller majority, is
just as strongly opposed to any kind
of sales or luxury tax. other than
the small one wrote into the revenue
bill. The committee may be able to:
come to ter Jpg and get the two'
houses to follow, but the way Is hot!
apparent.
Several Ways Out.
Any suggestion of a solution is lit
tle more than a wild guess. Suggcs- j
tion is that a modified sales tax, se- ■
lective commodity tax, be included
to raise say $15,000,000 or $16,000,000, j
with the other sources provided, turn |
that over and require the six months j
terms to be operated on the greatly j
reduced amount But most every
community would object to cutting
the schools to the standards neces-;
sary to operate on the funds avail- I
able.
Another suggestion is an increase
of equalizing fund to $11,000,000 or
even $12,000,000. by increasing the
rate of the small sales tax put in
the senate measure from one-tenth i
of one percent to two or three or
four-tenths. But this would not com
pletely remove the ad valorem tax
on real estate, and would be oppos-:
ed. This, however, may be the solu
tion In fact, the opinion has been i
expressed by friends of A. D. Mac-'
Lean that he would be willing to ac
cept an equalising fund of $11,00(1;
000. or even $10,000,000, rather than
keep the legislature in session long
er than is necessary.
More for Big Schools.
The senate increased the approp
riations of the state's Institutions,
cut down from the advisory budget
commission's recommendations by
the house for complete state opera
tion of the schools. That will wait
for a determination of what comes!
of the revenue measure in that re
spect.
The house spent large parts of two
or three days on the re-apportion
ment of members of the house of
representatives, and redistricting the
senatorial districts and finally
adopted plans which many of the
members hope the senate will work
out more satisfactorily.
Last Short Ballot.
The last "short ballot" bill, to
have the governor appoint commis
sioners of agriculture, insurance and
labor and printing, and corporation
commissioners, sponsored by John
A. McRae, Mecklenburg, passed the
house, subject, however, to approval

mostly no," said Mr, Price. Con
tinuing he said, "Two years ago a
roan from Forest City, attracted by
the beauty of- the flowers, stopped
by and wanted to buy some tulips
for his sick child. I told him I did
not sell flowers, but woukl be only
too gltjd to give some for the sick
child: When I had cut a hand full he
insisted on paying. I declined to ac
cept it. Then he argued that he did
not want to take them unless I ac
cepted pay. reminding me that they
represented the sweat of my blow
that he worked and made money
and was able to pay. The argument
continued for awhile as to whethci
1 should accept pay or not and he
wrote out a check and left it with
me. I have that check in the house,
but it has never been cashed."

His garden is a mecca each after

that is the pleasure he gets out of
