Sales Tax May Not
Pass, Gardner Says
Shelby Petition Is
Sent To Raleigh
Merchants And Consumers Of The
County Send Petition Protesting
Sales Tax.
Opposition to a sales tax as ex- j
pressed by merchants and consum-!
ers of Cleveland county and other!
counties of the State may result ini
the defeat of the proposed general J
sales tax for North Carolina. That
is the belief expressed by Represen
tative Ernest Gardner of this coun
ty, as stated in a letter to The Star
today.
The Gardner letter was in con
nection with the sending to him.
this week of a petition signed by
scores of Shelby and Cleveland
county merchants and consumers in
which they asked that he vote
against the prdposed new tax which
would place still another burden
upon all citizens.
Mr. Gardner said in his letter:
“I do not believe that, a general sal
j es tax will pass now. Two weeks ago
( when 1 was at home X thought the
j measure would pass the General
Assembly, but all the opposition
developing and the protests made
have increased since that time."
He also declared that in the last
10 days a tremendous number of
[ protests have been sent to the leg
! islature from people all over the
| State and that every representative
(has been receiving petitions and
telegrams.
Luxury Tax.
"No representative," he said, “can
vote for a sales tax when he gets j
I petitions and telegrams like the
! ones . X have been receiving from '
Cleveland. I see a great fight loom
| ing between the general sales tax
advocates and the luxury tax sup
porters'. There is a certain crowd
against any iorm of sales tax, so
you see the division which means
the assembly will have a long, hard
fought battle over the tax problem.
X know of many representatives who
have changed from a general sales
tax since they have heard from
home. The petition from Cleveland
county will be introduced today
(Wednesday) and referred to the fi
nance committee. I understand the
revenue bill will be brought out of
the sub-finance committee the first
part of next week and I believe it is
going to carry with it provisions for
a general safes tax. My prediction
is that the general sales tax will be
defeated by the assembly and we
will have to resort to some other
source of revenue.”
In explaining the Cleveland coun
ty welfare bill introduced by hirrt.
Representative Gardner said: "Sec
tion Two of my bill was amended so
as to provide that on or after July
1. 1933. the board of education and
the board of commissioners could
elpet a welfare officer; according to |
the law heretofore. My reason for
putting this section in the bill is
that there is pending now before
the assembly a bill to abolish the
offices of county superintendents in
the State. I doubt this bill passing,
but in case it should the two boards
of Cleveland county would be with
out authority to provide for a wel
fare department and this section
was written into the bill in order to
take care of any emergency of that
i type which might arise."

Two Shelby Men Are I
Hurt In Auto Wreck
Dr. Matthews And L. R. Cornevin
Injured When Car Turned
Over Tuesday.
Dr. B. B. Matthews, Shelby phy
sician, and I,. R. St. Cornevin. Shel
by insurance man, were painfully
Injured Tuesday afternoon near Ab
beville, S. C.j when the Matthews
automobile turned over.
Dr. Matthews and Mr. Cornevin
were returning from a business trip
to Greenwood, S. C., and en route
back, near Abbeville. Dr. Matthews
swerved his car quickly to the side
of the road to avoid striking some
children who were in the road. The
sudden turn for the safety of the i
children resulted in the car turning ;
over.
Although the car was badly dam
aged and both men were injured
they drove on back to Shelby. Last
night their injuries proved to be
more serious than first thought and
Dr. ■ Matthews was removed to the
Shelby, hospital early this morning,
the fact that he was vomiting
blood bringing the fear that he
might be injured internally. X-ray
examination today, however, failed,
to reveal any broken ribs or chest
bones, but the physician is badly
bruised about the chest, abdomen
and side, it was said, Mr. Cornevin,
considerably lacerated and bruised,
went to the hospital today for treat •
ment. His nose, it is said, is fractur
ed. the eye bone and face are lac
erated as is one leg and one of his
ears was painfully torn.

After next month mid wives who
practice their profession in Cleve
land county will be required to have
permits from the County Board of
Health, the permits to follow a
course o ftraining to be given mid
wives by the health board physic
ians.
Tliis was decided at a meeting of
the board held this week, the de
cision following a recommendation
by the County Medical Society.
There is a State law now that all
midwives must have annual permits
from the Board of Health to prac
tice and they must l> properly
trained to secure the permits. The
course of instruction will be with
out charge and all midwives in the
county are urged to attend the

been selected by the health board
to give the instructions. They are
Drs. E. B. Baltimore, D. F. Moore,
S. F. Parker, Ben Kendall and Ben

no manner a move to prevent the
practice of midwifery in the coun
ty, but is merely a step of precau
tion so that they may be better pre
pared to give more efficient and
competent service. After taking the
course of instruction the midwives
will be given their permits which arc
to be renewed each year.

Vote Millions To Send Jobless
Boys To Military Training Camps!
Senate Bill Open* Military Train
ing Camp* To Idle Boys
Koaming Land.
Washington, Fob. 15.—The senate
this week dipped into Uncle Sam's
purse and voted an appropriation
of $211,000,000 to throw open the
Citizens’ Military Training camps
to thp thousands of youth roaming
the land in search of work and a
place to sleep
After voting the money, added to
t > $370,000,000 army appropriation
bill, the senate passed the supply
measure and sent it to the house for
action on amendments.
The camp proposal approved
without a dissenting voir# was sijg..'
gested by Senator Reed, Republi
can of Pennsylvania, and accepted
by Senator Couzens, Republican of
Michigan, who offered It as a sub
stitute for his original amendment
to the war department supply bill
which would have taken the tran
sients Into regular army posts.
Another amendment put through
by Couzens would make $6,000,000
of the fund immediately available,
the remainder to be spent In the
next fiscal year
Under the plan agreed upon,
which must receive the approval of
the house and the president before
becoming law, any youth between
15 and 21 who has been out of a Job
Would Have More
Voting Booths
Would Also Have Mayor Take Of.
fire July I In*trad Of On
June 1.
Three amendment* to the Shelby
city charter, which, It Is said, would
simplify the city records and make
city election* more convenient, are
being proposed by s number of
citizens
The proposed amendments are
1. That the charter he m<
amended that the mayor would
take office on July 1 It.Mend of
June 1.
2. That the charter be m»
amended as to provide four or
five voting; plares or booths for
city elections Instead of the
one voting place now provided
by the charter.
S. That the charter be further
amended so as to provide that
two of the four aldrcmen be
elected for a period of two
years and the two others be
elected for a term of four
year*.
If the general public sentiment
appear* to favor the modernizing of
the charter as proposed, a bill to
that effect may be forwarded to
Representative Ernest Gardner. Thn
belief Is that, there will be no great
opposition because the proposed
changes would be for the conven
ience of the citizens.
Changes Explained,
tt is reasoned that the city would
be saved expense and the city rec
ords could be better kept with the
new mayor taking office the first
of July instead of the first of June
as is now done. The reason assign
ed Is that the city’s fiscal or busi
ness year ends June 30. If a new
mayor and city board takes office,
each election year on June 1, as the
charter now provides, there Is a
hangover month somewhat similar to
the lame duck congress plan re
cently abolished. In other words,
the naw mayor and board have the
month of June on their records
whereas in the audit report and
general record of tjie city’s business
it Is a portion of the preceding
year. This can result in having two
audits made at the expense of the
town, one audit being that requir
ed at the end of each business year,
June 30, and the other to start a
new administration off which la In
office a month of the old year al
ready audited under a preceding
administration’s current fiscal year.
This overlapping resulted last year
In an audit being necessary for a
13-months period instead of tha
customary 12.
Presumably the second amend
ment proposed, that of creating
more voting places, will be one to
meet practically unanimous approv
al. As it is now city election day la
something of a struggle with around
3,000 city voters trying to get all
their votes In one box between sun
up and sundown. The provision for
one central voting booth was all
right years ago before the city at
tained Its present size, but now It
is contended It would be far more
convenient for voters to be able to
able to vote In all the boxes with
in the city limits where they vote
during general and county elections.
The argument advanced for hav
ing two aldermen elected for two
years and two for four years Ut that
by doing so the city board would at
all times have at least two men in
office actually acquainted with the
city affairs. As It Is now, it is
pointed out, a complete change of
mayor and board would send Into
office five*men not closely In touch
with the city's business, Its obliga
tions, operation, etc. When the
terms of the two-year men would
end two four-year men would be
elected to fill their place, leaving
two years of service ahead for the
previous four-year men. and so on
