House Beats Sales Tax, Also Luxury Appropriation Bill Breaks Deadlock Economy Groun Defeats Sales Tax ! 59 To 4£. But Foes Defeat Luxury Tax. Representative Ernest Gardner, of ! Cleveland county, was one of the 59 representatives to vote against the general sales tax In defeating that feature of the revenue bill In legislature Wednesday' night. The Cleveland representative yesterday voted for a luxury tax to replace the sales tax but the measure was in turn defeated by a vote of 65 to 36. $7,006,000 Short Now (Special to The Star.) Raleigh, April 14.—By a vote of 65 to 36 the house yesterday defeat ed a selected commodity or luxury tax which would have replaced the sales tax defeated Wednesday night. Yesterday’s action left the pro posed 1933-35 budget out of balance junder conservative estimate by at least $7,000,000 yearly. The general sales tax provision, contained in the original bill, was estimated to raise $9,000,000 yearly. The luxury levy provision was es timated to raise $10,500,000. Neith er was adopted. Increases in other taxes were estimated to raise $2, 000,000 yearly. That left a gaping hole of $1,000,000. Even the most conservative legislators were agreed on that point. Beat Sales Tax Raleigh, April 14.—The North Carolina legislature appears headed for weeks of deadlock over the bi ennial revenue bill, brought on by house refusal to acept the three percent general sales tax action. The action, by a 59 to 46 vote, brought from R. A. Doughton, chair man of the finance committee, the prediction of an extra session. All other sections of the revenue bill had been agreed to when op ponents of the sales tax, brandish ing petitions ‘purporting to carry thousands of names, launched their fight. Agreement by both house and sen ate that the state should support an eight months school term, instead of six as at present, thus reducing local school assessments and ex penses, had been generally con strued as agreement to the sales tax prior to last night’s vote. The vote came on an amendment by Bowie, of Ashe, to strike the sales tax section from the bill. Luxury Group Busy The announcement of the result was the signal for immediate activ ity on the part of supporters of a selected commodities tax proposal, and it was announced that such a measure would probably be ready for introduction today. Late Wednesday night Represen tative Newman, of New Hanover, in charge of preparing the commodity amendment, said he was changing his bill “hourly.” He added, however, that it would contain a stamp tax on cigarettes, probably about 20 per cent, and on theatre admissions, soft drinks, cosmetics, confections and other commodities which the (CONTINUED ON PAGE TEN.I Would Blend Two N.

Charter* Must Be Amended If Plans Approved. Reorganization of the First Ra tional and the Union Trust' com pany moves along slowly with many details being Ironed out. hut both plans have been approved as far as they have gone. William tlneberger and Attorney D. Z. Newton returned yesterday from Raleigh where Ourney P, Hood, state banking commissioner, approved the reorganisation plans of the Union Trust Oo. It Is thought the charters or both banks will have to be amended in order to Issue preferred stock to the Reconstruc tion Finance corporation but this Is a small detail. Consideration Is also being given to the branch Institu tions which this bank maintains in Cleveland and Rutherford counties, there being certain requirements to meet In regard to them. R F. C. Man To Come It la learned that a representa tive of the Reconstruction Finance corporation will be sent to Bhelby to check the assets of the Union before the R. F. C. will subscribe to Its preferred stock. The assets of the Union were checked by a rep resentative of tlie state banking de partment, but it Is the policy of the R. F. C. to make its own ap praisal of all banks on which it takes preferred stock. A representa tive of the R. F. C. Is expected to arrive here any day to go through with this detail which will take sev National Alerting Wednesday There will be a meeting of the depositors and stockholders of the First National on Wednesday aft ernoon of next week. April 10th at two o’clock .when approval of the First National's plan of reorgan isation will be patged tfpon. This plan calls for a' waiver of twenty percent of deposits by depositors and the acceptance, therefor of a participating interest in the charg ed off notes amounting to $370,000 or more when and If collected Stockholder* are being asked to pay into the bank $40 per share of stock held by them. The twenty per cent depositors waiver will robe $270,000. while the stock levy will raise $100,000. * The Blantons and Eskridge have been asked by the bank examiner to relieve the bank of its real estate and stock, carried on the books at $300,000. They will give the bank their note for $300,000 backed by a deed of trust on the bank's real estate transferred and also on the Blanton block with the Hotel Charles and store rooms, appraised at $300,000, this making a collateral of $600,000. On this bank real es tate released. the Blantons and Eskridge are responsible for pay ing off the prior liens on said real estate amounting to $60,000 or more. Tlie First National plan is meet ing with the approval of depositors and stockholders and scores of them are mailing back their cards properly signed or going Into the bank and signing up. Should the plan not go over at the Wednesday meeting, the bank would no doubt be liquidated, in which event de positors would get considerably less than the eighty per cent which they will get on the plan now being worked on.
