Neither Tax Plan Will Raise Sum Needed To Operate N. C. Schools Stales Tax And Luxury Tax Will Fall Shy of Needed Vmount. Other Plan Short. Raleigh, April 22.—The general sale stax will raise only $5,630,000, instead of the $0,000,000 hoped for by the house when it passed the tax, A. J. Maxwell, revenue commission er. told the conference committee on the revenue bill Monday. |4r. Maxwell said the latest esti mate was based on statistics col lected by the federal census bureau. The low estimate endorsed by the revenue department today, Is the same made on the floor of the sen ate by Senator Hinsdale of Wake in arguing for a luxury lax. Senator Dunlap of Anso'h, chair man of the senate finance commit tee, told newspapermen after the conferees had been In session for more than two hours that "nothing definite” had been done. Senator Folger, of Surry, advo cate of the Grler-Fdger equalizing fund as a substitute for the Mac Lean school law, spoke at length iu favor of his plan, Dunlap said. The finance chairman added that in view of the new estimate of Mr. Maxwell so far no.plans for carry ing out the MacLean luw without u deficit has been advanced.” The luxury tax will raise only ap proximately $6,000,000 instead of $9. .00,000 4 estimated by its supporters, j Mr. Maxwell also to Id the commit - jtee lie explained that South C'aru jlina with about half North enro ll ina's population, raised $0,530,0(10; jkist year with its luxury- tux. and v.ould raise about $3,000,000 thi. .ear. He added tlmt it. would be ln j correct to figure North Carolina's : consumption of tobacco and bottled; :drinks at. ft higher per capita rate ‘ I than in South Carolina, since South Carolina's large negro population; was a large user of those products I front which most of the luxury tax j cornea. Both Hills Overestimated. i Mr. Maxwell estimated that the senate revenue bill would raise ‘ $19,103,475, and that the house rev enue bill would raise $24,395,700. In. addition the state will receive *1.- . 350,000 non-tax revenue for the gen- j eral fund, under either bill Both bills, according to these ext i nmtes, are short of raising the $10, 000,000 for state purposes and the $18,500,000 for support of the six months school and aid to the ex tended term which were approved' In the appropriations bill passed by; the house. After the figures were given the! committee, it discussed them tnfor- j mally, took no action, and voted to j exclude the press representatives' fro m further meetings of the con- J ference committee Will Curtis Be Running Mate Of > Hoover In 1932? Talk Coolidge Aansan Bridged With Pleas To Offer For Reeleellon And Also j To Run For Senate. Washington, April 22.—Republican j leaders looking ahead to the 1932 presidential race eagerly watching j for the decision to be made by Vice President Curtis on seeking re-elec tion. If this party veteran determines | to go out for his former seat in the j senate from Kansas rather than! take a chance on another four year I term as vice president, it is conceded the move Will bolster the ntiti-Hou- i ver Republican forces. Curtis will announce Ins decision in the fall Meanwhile he is keeping tils own counsel. Friends say he Is confronted with pleas from both those who would have linn run again for vice president and those in Kansas who would have him campaign against Senator McGill, uj Democrat. ! Will Not Retire Certain it is that Curtis has rail intention oi retiring trout public life. CiA'settuenUy he is keeping a weather eye on things While he was one of the out-, standing foes of President Hoover < in the pre-convent ion campaign of 1928. the Kansan 1ms served the Hoover administration loyally since he was nominated vice president. He is a regular attendant of cabi net meetings and always ready to tend a helping hand But there are no ties to the fu ture between Curtis Hint Hoover. There haw been Illinois r>! oilier vice presidential candidates nT Un official family of the president There is now speculation of whether Curtis cares to rlk Ins fortune: again with the Hoover organization lit a national election Watched By Southerners. The attitude of Curtis is being watched particularly by restless Re publicans of uncertain strength who are speculating on an attempt to overthrow Hoover in the next con vention. This group has its nucleus in the dissatisfied Hoover organisa tion of 1928 in the South headed by Horace Mann. Republicans for various reason seldom have renominated a vh president, however, Thomas Mar shall, of Indiana, served through S the two terms with the Democratic President Woodrow Wilson. In 1928 with President Coolidge out of the race and Herbert Hoover nominated, the Republicans turned from Char 1 lea G. Dawes to Curtis of the doubtful Tarm belt. In the gossiping ,at the Capitol there also Is talk among anti-Hoo ver Republicans of an attempt to get Calvin Coolidar jjack m the race with Curtis or ac.iatit ,McNar> of Oregon, as his run.-dp male.

Chairman Flint: j Dunlap, of the senate finance com mittee, and member of the confer*; ence. does not admit that the sni> • ate is signed up. but he makes no 1 prediction as to the outcome of the, fight again on (he senate floor j Tire adoption of the rejected Hue- ! dale amendment would throw tire j revenue measure into the house] again as' that body definitely fepu dialed the luxury tax and took the; general sales tax which .was carried by n very close vote, 55 to 51 Wvei> to, the sales tax advocates oem vr tliev will have the advantage of a Weary legislature plus a more weary populace. Should the senate return to the luxury tux. house member* believe their body would, concur But it would take six more bars to pass the revenue act arid pro- j long the session at the assembly ;u j to next week The purpose now 1* ; to send the report tlu- morning at.; 11 o'clock to the senate. If that or-j gahiaation can pass quickly tne Hinsdale bill and get It over to ,ne house there would be slmpUHea'iot' of the Issue. All day the round robin has been singing and the two houses nave been waiting for news. When > ,t of the most, pious of the conferee was asked this afternoon if the con ference had agreed on a sales tax he said. "Hell no. we have not reach ed the damned thing yet." Perhwos the difficulty of reaching it is ex plained by the favor or the fear i< to approach. The house could wind up things in three days if it would accept the senate measure tn toto. But there are some wonderfully fine parlia mentary entanglements ahead nor | instance, it may be. contended that [ to get the Hinsdale bill agam be-. [ lore the senate rule 38 will oe in voked and a iwct-third strength must i be shown. If the bitter-enders t ike ! advantage of their position they j may refuse to allow a reconsidera tion of the defeated luxury * tx }measure. It rnav be objected that '.he j senate has dealt with this .issuit- and [ settled it. The satne thing happen ied in the house last week. Some j body tried to resurrect the agrictd jtural department bill wherein the j governor was to appoint the com Imissioner of agriculture. But the point was made that this measure has been before the house and de feated. it, therefore, could not com* back. j Opinions differ a.s to whether This' may be clone In the senate on the j pending sales tax. Then, having de-l leafed the Hinsdale measure, the j house may be refractory about ac- 1 eepWng the same offering. These thin'gs are in the air tonight and adoption of the Hinsdale measure, a stone twice rejected, may become the foundation of a new salvation fn the state. But it would appear that mining will be certain even if the senate instructs its conferees to vote for the luxury tax. J. F.
