SEES BIG POULTRY
INCREASE IN 1933
Chickens One Farm Crop

Daily Dlapalch Unreal,

ItV J. C. BASKESRVILL.
Raleigh. Jan. 2.—Because poultry
is one farm enterprise which has fur
nished a market for home grown
feeds and has returned the owners
some cash regularily during the past
year, Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the
State College poultry department,
foresees a decided shift towards an
increase in the flocks of North Caro
lina during the coming year.
Mr. Dearstyne says records kept by
a number of flock owners in 1932
have shown a net profit above feed
costs of over $1 a hen for the year.
This means if a man had a flock of
500 birds on his farm last year, he
secured at least SSOO in clear money
above the cost of the feed. In some
cases those who sold high grade hat
ching eggs from blood-tested flocks
made still more money. Others who
had spring broilers in season made
additional money from this project.
The poultry expert points out also
that it costs very little to go into
the poultry business. The clerk with
a few dollars who bought a farm this
past, fall thinks about poultry as one
of his first enterprises. So do the oth
er city dwellers who are moving back
into the country to escape the hard
times of the city and town.
To all of these, Mr. Dearstyne cau
tions that sometimes such new de
velopment is out of proportion to the
needs of the local market. He also
adds that poultry production of the
present day is ma father highly de
veloped enterprise and those with lack
of knowledge or experience are likely
to fail.
“Poultry work has no place for the
person who knows nothing about the
birds nor cares about the,” he says.
“To be successful requires long hours
of work and study; attention to de
tail; ability to accept disappointments
and a knowledge of feeding,,, sanita
tion and marketing. It is not a get
rich-quick enterprise.”

•/
Moran In Top-Notch Form
Fun i na small town, mother-in-law
in prodigious battles, romance and a
bit of drama—these are the elements
with which Marie Dressier and Polly
Moran mould a marvel in pure enter
tainment in “Prosperity,” Metro-Gold
wyn-Mayer’s mirthful melee of battl
ing mothers-in-law now,’playing''atr th e
Stevenson Theatre Thursday and Fri
day.
Marie and Polly are the mothers-in
aw. They battle over the married
life of their respective son and daught
er until they drive the youngsters into
divorce and the audience into hyste
rics. Amid the howls of laughter
there are a few heart throbs, too, for
a bit of mother love, a sacrifice, and a
very tense little dramatic situation are
interlarded among the laughs. Sam
Wood directed the picture, and the
-lever young man who directed "Get-
Rich-Quick Wallingford” certainly
knows hiis comedy.
Runs Grocery Sfiore ,
Marie plays “Maggie,/’ who gets a
iob in the town grocery store when,
the town goes broke, starts - a ‘‘swap
and trade” business, and finally solves
the problem of good business.* Miss
Moran is the shrewish purloiner of
lickles —incidentally that scene is a
classic in comedy. Anita Page and
Norman Foster play the married chil
dren. and they in turn have children —
olayed by little Jacquie Lyn and Jerry
Tucker. Clever, character remedy Is
'ontributed by Charles Giblyn, Frank
Darin and Henry Armetta.

State, it is pointed out that the ac
cumulated deficit at he end of this
fiscal year will be about $12,500,000
md that the operating deficit this
/ear will be about $5,800,000, in spite
if the reductions in salaries and other
expenses that have already been made
The repeal of the 15 cents property
ax will reduce the State’s revenue
mother $3,850,000 on the basis of the
yield from this tax this year. So in
cluding the removal of the 15 cents
‘ax, the State will need to find $9,-
>50,000 in new revenue to balance the
budget on the basis of present ex
>enditures. *
But the four recommendations
made by the Tax Commission will
jffest this need of $9, 50,000 in new
revenue by bringing about savings
imounting to $10,350,000, as follows:
saving from additional
salary cuts $3,000,00
Appropriation from High
way Fund 2,000,000
saving from refunding
indebtedness 1,500,000
N’ew revenue from “re
placement taxes’’ . 3,850,000
$10,350,000
The approval of this program by the
1933 General Assembly and the enact
uent of the necessary legislation to
make it effective would not only bal
ince the budget, but also provide for
i slight operating surplus, the report
points out, and still would not levy
my mote taxes than are being levied
at the present time. It would entail,
however, the increasing of some pre
sent brackets, which is contemplated
under the “replacement taxes” to com
pensate for the removal of the 15
cents property tax.
In commenting on the four recom
mendations made, the report says:
“The above recommendations, adopt
cd in their entirelty would, even un
der the present low level of economic
conditions and of revenue yield, in
sure a balanced budget and a reason
able surplus in the operating account
The commission has no misgivings as
to the fact that those recommenda
tions will not meet with the complete

approval either of various classes of
the public or of individual members
of the General Assembly. From one
viewpoint the reduction recommend
ed in expenditures seem entirely too
large. From another viewpoint the
replacement taxes seem too heavy.
From another viewpoint, the diversion
of any amount of the highway fund
seems unwise and undesirable. From
another viewpoint the refunding of
bond maturities seems impractical.
‘“The reduction recommended in
general fund expenditures will call
for heroic action on the part both of
the General Assembly and of the de
partments, institutions and spending
agencies. It represents a reduction of
about 13 per cent under the present
levels of expenditure. We know of no
substitute for this.
“The recommendation to divert or
appropriate $2,000,000 from the high
way fund to the general fund we do
not consider to be a sound permanent
policy; it is not recommended as a
permanent policy but only as an
emergency measure to meet the exi
gencies of the present situation.”
The plan to refund a portion of the
State’s indebtedness falling due in
1933-34 and 1934-35 and thus savev the
State approximately SISOOOOO a year
on the amount due for debt service,
is entirely practical, the report says,
and for the following reasons:
“First, with the operating budget
balanced and an actual operating sur
plus, there should be no difficulty in
selling at a reasonable rate of interest
$2,888,000 worth of refunding bonds.
“Second these bonds may be sche
dule to mature in the years 1940, 1943
to 1945. It so happens that the State
general fund maturities amount to
only $50,000 a year in each of these
five years.”
Th£ report of the Tax Commission
takes up many other matters of les
ser importance in considerable detail.

Trio Missing Since
Friday
Elizabeth City, Jan. 2 (AP)—Three
men missing since Saturday after
starting a fishing trip off the mouth
of the Pasquotank river, wer e the ob
jects of a widespread search in the
vicinity today.
The men are W. T. Deans, Frank
Miller and B. F. Markham.
Alarm over their safety was height
ened by a wind of almost gale pro
portions swept Albemarle Sound Sat
urday night. -
Friday afternoon the trio left in a
fishing boat, leaving word they would
i eturn here about Saturday noonj.
When they failed to appear, a wide
spread search was begun.
Several boats were sent to the scene
and another joined the search today.
A searching party found the trio’s
camp on the mouth of the Pasquotank
river deserted Sunday. The party
also found a group of duck hunters,
who reported seeing the fishermen
Saturday afternoon.
Since that time no word of their lo

FARM RELIEF BILL
TO BE OFFERED IN
HOUSE TOMORROW

hogs from the big bill. It also re-,
fused to include dairy products and
rice.
A newly devised emergency relief
plan • designed to guarantee the far
med his pre-war purchasing power,
despite price fluctuating, was the bill
chosen by Democratic leaders today
for aiding agriculture.
For the second time members of
the House Agriculture Committee
gathered behind closed doors to study
its provisions. A favorable report to
the House was predicted by Chairman
Jones not later than Wednesday.
Carefully prepared by membbers
during the holidays, the bill would
fix a ‘‘fair exxchange value” for four
major farm commodities —wheat, cot
ton, tobacco and hogs. It defines this
value as the amount which in relation
to the prices the farmer pays for com
modities hte consumes will represent
the same ratio that existed in pre-war
dayh.
The secretary of agriculture would
proclaim “a fair exchange allowance.”
This would-be “the difference between
the “fair exxchange value” and the
price actually received at local mar
kets. i
An adjustment charge equal to the
“fair exchange allowance” then would
be levied on “the first domestic pro
cessing,” and every producer would
be entitled to an adjustment certi
ficates on his share of the estimated
domestic consumption.
To obtain this certificate —which
would have the same unit value as
the adjustment tax, or “fair exchange
allowance” —the farmer would have
to agree to a 20 percent acreage re
duction, or, in the case of hogs, to a
20 percent tonnage cut, and a limit of
210 pounds on the average hog’s lot
weight.
TAX COMMISSION’S
PLAN FACES ROUGH
ROAD IN ASSEMBLY
(Continued from Page One.)
a graduated cut in general fund ex 1
penditures. including all State sal
aries, to yield a saving of $3,000,000
a year. The plan sounds good on
paper. But it will immediately meet
with opposition fn>m the .most power
ful lobby in the General Assembly,
the school teachers’ lobby, with its
23,000 teachers, the powerful North
Carolina Education Association, thou
sands of parent teacher associations
and others in sympathy with the
teachers. It is no secret here that the
teacher/3 and schools would have to
bear a large share of this $3,000,000
reduction and that a mere 10 per cent
cut in teachers’ salaries would yield
$1,300,000 of the required amount, So
far the teachers have been cut only
10 per cent, while the salaries of all
other State employes have been re
duced from 20 to 40 per cent during
the past two years
But the school teachers’ lobby
would not be the only one that will
fight this plan. The major State edu
cational institutions, led by the Uni
versity of North Carolina, State Col
lege, the Woman’s College and all the
other colleges in the State, their fa
culties and alumni, will fight against
any further curtailment in the funds
for the upkeep of these institutions.
And the alumni, who chop off the
heads of football coaches who do not
please them with, so .much ease and
gusto, are to be reckoned with in po
litics as well. They can bring a lot of
pressure to bear upon a General As
sembly. tl has been agreed by those
who really know that for years both
houses of the General Assembly have
been virtually controlled by alumni df
the State University and that as a re
slult the University has usually got
ten just about whatever it wanted.
The other State departments and
institutions, however, also have wide
spread political connections and or
ganizations. capable of bringing very
strong pressure to bear upon a Gen
eral Assembly. This was demonstra
ted in 1931 when the anti-short ballot
forces, led by the elective department
heads, got together and decided to
“buck” Governor Gardner and his re
organization program. This anti-short

Dennis G. Brummitt, Chairman W. T.
Lee of the Corporation Commission,
Commissioner of Agriculture W. A.
Graham, with the assistance of the
other elective officers and their or
ganizations, made things uncomfort
ably warm for the administrations
forces and threw plenty of brick bats
into the administration program.
There is no doubt that they will do
the same thing again if any one tries
or threatens to amputate any of their
funds. These department heads are all
past masters in the game of practical
politics and their organizations are
well manned with practical politicians
who can be used as shock troops in
any emergency. The general assembly
rarely has been able to resist their
massed attack.
Then there is the proposal to ap
propriate $2,000,000 a year from the
highway fund for a period of two
years. This plan, of course, will have
the support and approval of the school
forces and of many of the Sfate de
partments and institutions, who see
in it a chance to get larger approp
riations. But it will have the united
opposition of the State Highway Com
mission, with its 5,000 employes, of
the road materials and road ma
chinery people, who always maintain
a powerful lobby here. The organized
motorists of the State will undoubted
ly also be opposed to this plan, as
will he truck and bus interests who
also have effective lobbyests who
know how to get results. So that plan
will have hard sledding.
When the various proposals are
analyzed, indications are that they
will have hard sledding in the Gen
eral Assembly.

tion abandoned during the biennium.
3. Refunding of all .general fund
bond maturities during the biennium,
amounting to $2,888,000. It is sound
business sense to pay off as little
as possible when the present value
of the dollar 'is extremely "’high.'I’' 1 ’'
4. No new taxes, but increases in
many present schedules to absorb the
loss in revenue from removal of the
15 cent ad valorem tax on property
which the commission said the legis
lature was pledged to accomplish.
“The program proposed would not
levy any more taxes t.han are levied
at the present time,” said the re
port, signed by Chairman A. J. Max
well, and L. A. Bethune of Clinton,
and Robert Lassiter of Charlotte,
i “It would absorb the prospective
deficit by reduced spending in both
general and the highway fund, by
refunding general fund bonds matur
ing within the next two years, and
by shifting the present yield of the
15 cents property tax to other, meth
ods of collecting the same amount of
revenue an din collecting a large part
of it in other forms from, the same
groups who now pay it.”
The report, offering increased rates
in present schedules as a substitute
for a sales tax to raise $3,820,000 a
year the 15 cent ad valorem has been
producing, declared:
“In the opinion of the commission
it is now just as ,unsound, unfair, and
unwise to adopt this 1 form of tax (the
sales tax) as one of the State’s major
sources of revenue as it was at the
time the report of the commission to
the 1931 general assembly was writ
ten.”
Reference is made to the 1931 re
port’s arguments against either “a
general or so-called luxury sales tax.”
“With a revenue system adequate
under normal conditions for our ac
tual necessities, we should go po fur
ther into the sales tax field than the
necessities •; of our.dmm’ediate: condi
tion may temporarily compel us,”
report added. . V..
The commission pointed ".out its
four-point program for balancing the
budget recognied present conditions
as “temporary.” c * • ••
With the 15 cent tax, the operating
deficit for 1931-32 approximately 4,-
320,000 and this year’s deficit proba
bly will reach $5,800,000, the : report
said. ' ' •
“Assuming that we have reached
the bottom of the depression and that
sevenue yields of the'present fiscal
year may be expected to continue, we«
have substantially a '510,000,000 pro
blem to solve—to be exact, $9,650,-
000,” it added.
“It is unthinkable that we should
undertake to place a $10,000,000 addi
tional tax burden upon the people of
this State to carry through this de
pression.”
Trimming the general fund expen
ditures by $3,000,000 a year and the
$2,000,000 diversion from highway re
ceipts would solve the problem with
out imposition of additional taxes, the
report declared, with increased tax
rates making up the $3,850,000 loss in
revenue from removal of the 15 cent
land tax. • ,
