Oltlaena of the two states have a mutual Interest in one state gov ernment question of the most vital Important)*, however, and that la the sales tax. Each adopted the general sales tax at about the as me time. About the only dlffsrer.ee is that California collects 3 1-2 per cent and North Carolina 3 per cent. California taxes all sales in cluding the basic foods. North Car olina exempts bsslc foods and farm, forest and mine products when ■old by the original producers. In each state the tax is kept separate from the selling price of each article. As might he expected, the Cali fornia yield is vastly greater, sagas *4,000.000 per month, than 1* returned from the sales tax in North Carolina, where it has run something over *000,000 per month thought It would be better to con tinue to keep the tax eepextte Thirteen end elght-tenthe percent did not care how It waa collected. Only 34.8 per cent of those In terviewed thought that the store* were making In profit by Improper divereiom of the (alee tax. Thoee thinking the merchants were hon estly trying to collect It and pay It over to etate authorities numbered WO or 88.6 per dent. Is The Tax Too High? Is the rate of the ealas tax too high, too low or Just right?, was one of the questiona asked, six hundred and seventy-four said they did not know, 1,864 said that the 3 1-3 per cent rate waa Just about ripht, 188 said it was too low and 1,301 said it was too high. Property owners and non-property owners split up somewhat sharp1/ on this Issue, with 88 per cent of those not owning real estate declaring the tax too high and only 38.1 per cent oi the property owners holding the 3 1-3 per cent excessive. About one-fifth, or 38.* per cent of the people interviewed stated the iilet tax had prevented them from buying certain article*. The remainder of 79.7 per cent said the sales tax had made no difference In that respect. Against Taxing Necessities. Fifty-nine per cent of the S.B7B interviewed were of th* opinion that necessities should not be tax ed as California Is now doing. There were 83.1 per cent who favor ed taxing necessities and 7J per cent who said they didn't know. If North Carolinians are of th* same mind, a big majority of citi zens In this state doubtless approv es th* last legislature’s refusal to tax basic food stuffs. For Emergency Orily. Should the sales tax be an em ergency or permanent measure? wss still another Question of the Interviewers and 70.8 per cent of the Californians declared the tax should be used only during the emerganry, 18.2 per cent wanted the sales tax kept aa a permanent means of state revenue and 11.2 per cent said they didn’t know. Temperatures in Ocrminy have reached almost record height1! dur ing the past saveral days. Because of drouth conditions streams ars low. . '• '■ ~''* I |l I II I I I I I I ra cn# nm year ©i operation. une Inclusion of baslo foods in the tax able column in ths Pacific coast state accounts for eoroethlng of this difference^ The chief o*um Is, of ooune, the tremendous superiority In buying power which exists there. In the opinion of well-qualified ob servers however, still another fac tor exists. They believe that collec tion of the teles tax in California has been accomplished with more uniform effectiveness. This le further indicated in a study of the American Legislators association, which surveyed the op eration of the salM In 17 states They found California's 3 1-3 per oent levy netting 41 per cent of the state's total tax collections while North Carolina’s I per oent sales tax yielded but 154 per oent of the total state revenues tn the first five months of Its application Illi nois with a X per oent sales tax got 374 per oent of its revenue from that source up to the time of the survey, which was, made about the first of thg year. Pell Of Taxpayers. to view of the similarity of the sales tax systems in tbs two states, the results of a recent poll of 5,575 California consumers by senior stu dents in the school of merchandis ing at the University of Southern California, should be highly Inter esting to North Carolinians. Of the 3,576 questioned, there was practically an even division be tween property owners and non property owners, property owners numbering 1,851 or 51.8 per oent of the total number questioned. Majority Favor The Tax The poll of the customers de veloped the startling fact that a majority of the consumers favored the tax, but that, as might be ex pected, It was liked batter by prop erty owners than by those who have no property and thus were not re lieved of ad valorem taxes by the substitution of the sales tax for state revenue. Of the 1JB51 property owners, 59.4 per cent, approved of the tax as a method of raising state moneys, SO.4 per cent disapproved It and 10.2 per oent were Indifferent, The 1,734 non-property owners registered a closer vote, with 44.2 per cent favoring the tax. 414 per cent disapproving it as a means for state revenue, and 14.5 per cent expressing their Indifference In the matter. Would Include The Tax. The poll by the students disclosed that a considerable majority of the 8475 Californians thought it would be better to Include the sales tax In the selling price of the article Those holding this view numbered 3 2’ 3 or 818 per oent of the total | About one-fourth, or 24.4 per cent * I I I F^pn THE KING OF ALL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS We have a large atock of several well known makes including Gulbransen, Story and Clark, Bald win and Brombach.
