Aug 5—A warning to all persons selling merchandise at retail in North Carolina that they must file sales/tax returns and pay ments by August 15 or be liable to i five-per cent penalty was sound ed tonight by A J. Maxwell, State Revenue commissioner. Under the new sales tax law, ;very person selling merchandise at retail must file returns and make ax payments each month for the preceding month.

WASHINGTON. Aug V-Strong political pressure for a 12-rent loan to help peg 1935 cotton crop prices descended yesterday upon farm ad ministration ofilcials "Some of the AAA bosses were, disclosed to doubt, the advisability of any loan at all Others said ^jri vatelv they believed an advance of from 10 to 12 cents may be author ized. Chester C. Davis. AAA adminis trator, said the amount of the loan probably will be announced shortly after the government estimate of 1935 cotton production. This w'ill be issued Thursday. * Press Roosevelt Meanwhile, those favoring the 12-cent figure were reported to have turned their attention also to the White House and congress, as well as the AAA. What worried the AAA was the possibility that, with the cotton loan policy, the AAA and the Commod ity Credit corporation may find themselves confronted with the same situation which gained crit icism for the old farm board. The Commodity Credit corporation has advanced directly, or has guaran teed through private agencies, 12 cent loans totaling $271,775^25- on 4,451,039 bales'of cotton. These fig ures do not include advances made on cotton held by the producers' pool. The pool now has 675.000 bales of *pot cotton and 933,000 bales of futures. f ' Extended To Feb. 1 " The loans were due early this year but have been extended until Feb ruary 1, 1936, Some officials said they did not believe the government would be repaid unless the price of 1 cotton reached 13 cents a pound. The carry-over of American cot ton August 1, was 8,300,000 bales, and the Bankhead allotment this year, 10,983.264 bales. However, some private estimates of the 1935 crop run as high as 12,000,000 bales. If the crop should be that large, an official said, the farm administra tion would be confronted with a delicate problem. Suggestions have been made that the government take over cotton on whicty the loans now are out standing, and use this \to establish the “ever-nosmal granary” spon sored by Secretary Wallace and au thorized In the AAA amendments pending In congress. Under this plan, the government would use the cotton itself for benefit payments, instead of cash. ! ^ --- Revival Meeting On At Ross Grove Ch.
