TWO VANCE CASES IN SUPREME COURT Will IU Argued Thu Week With Third end Fourth District Appeal* Raleigh, Sept. 12—(AP)—Oral ar guments in the Mbs Elizabeth Har rell “dog case” and 30 other cases from the third and fourth judical districts are on this week's calendar of the State Supreme Court. The court tomorrow will hear a mo tion from a writ of certiorari in the appeal of Joe Stafford from the death penalty Imposed in Wayne county for murder. He was convicted of killing his wife. The “dog case” was appealed from Henderson superior court after Miss Harrell's conviction o na charge of permitting a "vicious'' dog to run at large. She was fined $5. Miss Har rell contends that the dog that “bark ed at” and “frightened” Margaret Brinkley, l*-year-old school girl, was not her “Shag.” Only appeals from the third dis trict will be called on Tueciray, when the court begins work for the week. Beginning Wednesday, appeals will be called as docketed. Counties In the two districts are: Bertie. Halifax, Hertford, Northamp ton, Vance. Warren, Harnett, Lee, Johnston and Wayne. In addition to the dog case, one olher from Vance is on the docket for argument, that being “Rollins vs. Adams,” in which the superintendent of schools here is suing the county commissioners for S9OO salary voted him by the city schools board of trustees, and payment of which was refused by the county commissioners.

At the exercises Wednesday, the fa culty will be robed In academic cos tume and Dr. Neville Isbell's 50-piece band will play. The orientation program for, new men will extend from onday to Wed nesday. when Dr. Kitchen will ad dress them. Classes will begin Thurs day. Legion Convention Opened at Portland; Daniels Spealu (Continued from Page One.) by favoring discrimination." “Go Into Politics." Dane Is urged Lgtonnaires “to go in to politics." “The admonition,” he said, “has no suggestion that the Legion creed against participation in party politics for individual advantage should be violated. “Quite the contrary. Politic.! needs your freshness, your courage, in or der to lift it to the high plane It must occupy to serve mankind.” The former secretary of the navy recalled what he termed the “high idealism which marked America and its millions cf men in arms at the ime of the World War,* and con trasted it "with the failure of the post war world to the Idea!? for which the war was waged ’’ He contrasted the promises to the men who entered the country's ser vice In 1917 to the epithets of “looter of the treasury” and “communists,” which he said have been leveled at war veterans. For the lapse from “the ideals of wartime.” Daniels said the men who •fought In France could not be blam ed. After all former wars, he declared, the business of civilian administra tion has been turned over to the heroes of the war. The only exception to that policy, he added, has been in the years preceding the World War. “No man,” the former naval secre tary continued, “has been elevated to the presidency and very few to any poets of great responsibility. “This exception to the general rule may be traced to the Legion’s policy that its leaders are not to use their elevation as stepping stones to po litical preferment. It may be .traced to a, war weary feeling on the part; of the electorate; which wished to fors get war in devotion to peaceful pur suits. “Whatever the cause of a condition unprecedented, the conclusion is in scapable that the men who fought in the World War have not permitted ambition for place to dominate them." COUNTIES FAIL TO GIVE RELIEF DATA (Continued from Page Ond.) civic clubs, parent teacher associa tions. and all similar organizations and all of which should be Included. But many of these agencies hgve done their relief work through supplying commodities instead of money. Yet the cost of those commodities distri buted should be included in the report of relief work already done Ln every community. "However, the county welfare offi cers are working day and night In their efforts to get. the information desired and the estimated needs of tha various communities by months from September through December. Host of this information should be in hand within the next week or tan days. Then w« will be able to know bow much has been done and how much money we will need for raUaf work for tbs rest of year.” HENDERSON, (N.C. J DAILY DISPATCH MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 IMS BUDGETSAOOPTED BY COMMISSIONERS Tax Rib Wm Bring Com. pitted From Appropria tions This Afternoon At a meeting held ln the forenoon today, the Vanoe Board of County Conandsaioners took final action on the budgets and tax rate, but early this afternoon the rate was being •worked uot on the basis of slashes made in school expend Hurts, and no one was in position to or would say just what the lewy would be. A guess was that It would stand somewhere between 21.20 and $1.26 per SIOO val uation. Last year the entire county wide rate for all countywide purposes was $1.04. Today’s conference by the commis sioners was concerned almost ex clusively with the various budgets for the schools. The countywide genera! levy was passed upon finally last week raising the rate from 29 cents last year to 40 cents this year. At 3:15 o’clock this afternoon G. W. Adame, county accountant, had made no announcement of the new rate, but was still engaged in. working out the lewy op the basis "of reductions af fected by the commissioners at the morning session. GENERAL SALeTtAX OF TWO PERCENT IS NOW PLANNED HERE tContinued from Page One.) Retailer. In this article Mr. Dowell says: Dowell Sounds Warning. “As stated in the beginning, an act similar to this will be introduced in the 1933 session of the North Caro lina General Assembly. If it should become law, those merchants who have their respective places of busi ness in any of the forty counties of the State bordering upon the boun dary lines of other states, may as well close up shop and seek new locations in distant states. Small merchants lo cated in the interior counties would be forced out of business by chain stores and other large competators. Industry, as & matter of self-preserva tion, would be driven from the State and mail order houses in Chicago and New York will do more business in North Carolina in a month than they have done in any two years previous ly.” The Mississippi genera) sales tax, which went into effect April 30 of this year, imposes a tax of two per cent on the groes income, gross re ceipts or groes proceeds of sales of all individuals, firms, corporations, part nerships within the State. It requires monthly reports and remittances of the tax and imposes drastic penalties. “Under this tax, as I interpret it, the manufacturer pays a tax of two per cent, the jobber or wholesaler pays a tax on his gross receipts of two per cent and the retailer pays a tax of two per cent on his gross sales,” Dowell said. “Wherever pos sible, of course, the tax will be passed along to the other fellow in the form of increased prices, so that the public to whom the tax will be passed on to eventually, wiH pay a tax of from six to eight per cent on everything purchased.” Far Beaching in Scope. The term “gross income" in the Mississippi law is defined as “the gross receipts of a taxpayer received as compensation for personal service for the exercise of which a prlvtlage tax is imposed ln this State and the gross receipts of the taxpayer derived from trades, business, commerce on sales and the value accruing or pro ceeding from the sale of tangible pro perty (| real or personal i or service or both and all receipts, actUAl or ac crued, by the investment of the capi tal of the business engaged In, in cluding interest, discount rentals, royalties, fees or other emoluments however designated and without any ded uot ion on account of the property sold, tha cost of materials used, labor coots, Interest or discount paid, of pny ether expense and without any deduc tion on acoptint of •loss." * ;' Will Hit Incomes. Thus the act imposes not only a sales tax but a two per cent Income tax on all gross incomes, allowing an exemption of only $1,200 from the groes receipts of any taxpayer. The only other exemptions permitted are for insurance companies, building and loan associations, state and national banks; religious, charitable, scientific and educational societies; amounts re-, ceived from insurance policies and! amounts received from the sale pf cotton and cotton seed, and a few! other minor exemptions. Under a law of this sort the farm ers would have to pay a two per cent, sales tax on every dollar’s worth of grain, hay, vegetables, milk, eggs, livestock and even tobacco, unless to bacco sales as well a m cotton and cotton seed should be included in the exemptions, it is pointed out. Thiq tax must be paid on these sales even if tbe selling price is less than th4 cost of production. Hew H Weald HR iMMMf. j Thus, if a farmer spent $5,000 id putting in a crop and the cash re* turn from his farming operations for the year was only $4,000, showing a loss o SI,OOO, he would still have tq, pay the State a tax of SOOO. so that his total loss would actually be sl,-j 800. 1 Them hi not much likelihood that) a law thia stringent could he enacted) for thia State and include tbe groes* sales or proceeds of industries. It tsj agreed, or a sales of farm products) by farmers. But there is no that an effort will be made to enact a law similar to this that will Im pose a two per cent tax on almost everything else, including sales of food, clothing and all other ceoamod-i Hies, according to the reports being' heard here. Crime, aa well as disease, are ob stacles to the free and full life cf dtßm. „ Man At Memphis Believed Missing Raymond Robins Mehphte. Tens., Sept. 12—(AP)— Police and Federal authorities join ed today to investigate the identity of a man seen yesterday at Reels foot Lake, near 'ftttonqHte, Tenn., who Detective Lee Quianthy, Jr. said resembled Colonel Raymond Robins,- but later led officers to be lieve he might be Captain Raymond Griffin, of the St. Louis fire depart ment. A request from Police Chief Will D. Lee for a description of the mis sing prohibition advocate and friend of President Hoover on the theory that the man under surveillance might possibly be RDbin& was based, he Bald, on a report of a Memphis doctor that a man looking lllu Robins was seen yesterday on Reels foot Lake and that he appeared tc have been “beaten.” Red Boyette, a boat operator and case owner at Reelsfoot Lake, latei told Detective Wilbur Miller the man resembling Robins was a Captain Raymond Griffin, of St. Louis, and that be had not been beaten, but was sunburned. Earlier in the day etective Quian thy told newspaper men the man at Reelsfoot 'Lake could not give an account so himself.

A meeting is expected to be held within a few days to elect Major L. P. McLendon, of Durham, to the post, succeeding Judge J. Crawford Biggs, who resigned to become a presiden tial elector-at-large. Orders for printing the State’s na tional ballot will not be given until it is positive how many parties will be represented. Socialists are cam paigning for 10,000 signatures, the number required before their presi dential electors will be placed on the ticket.

It can be arguei that, except for Mr. Hoover’s states manship, it would have been much worse; that he is getting the country out of It, as it is. And anyway, the economic issue u on his hands uninvited. The prohibition issue also is on his hands uninvited. It cannot be said that he deliber ately went out of his way to create op position to his candidacy, either on economic grounds, or as a dry or a wet—whichever he to. But he antagonised the ex-service men needlessly. By turning General MacArthur and his cohorts loose on the B. E. F., the president not only made enemies sot himself but he likewise unquestionably insured the passage of legislation for full bonus payment, to which" he vig orously objects, and of which, until then, theic had been small prospect. As most folk know, the American Legion was on record against it. Now it is a foregone conclusion that the Legion will vote ln its favor at its national convention. , The bulk of the public assuredly was not pro-bonus when the march on Washington, to demand it, began. There was much sympathy with the marchers, as unemployed working men. Sentiment to the effect that •they were entitled to demand jobs was strong, but the popular judgment evi dently was that immediate full pay ment of the bonus was of more than doubtful wiadom and besides, that the comparatively trifling sum each man would receive would not last him long. The bonus boys themselves, arriving In Washington, expressed surprise that they had encountered so little enthu siastic, en route, for their cause. They failed to take in6o account the fact that the bonus slogan was with out strong appeal to the average citi zen, with no bomis coming to him— especially if he chanced to be a tax payer. with the thought in the back of his head that he would have to help toward digging up the $2,400,000,000 involved.
