Henderson high school boys and
girls will play a double bill here to
morrow night with the Dabney school
teams on the local court in Cooper’s
Warehouse.
The Dabney girls are perhaps the
strongest sextett in the county, but
ihe locals have showed unexpected
strength in their last two tests, having
topped the strong Zeb Vance team a
few days ago and to win over Towns
v’lle here Thursday night.
Very little has been heard from the
Dabney boys, who are not in the
County league, but they are expected
to force the locals to the limit for
a win.
Coach Powell’s cagers have showi;
continued improvement all during the
season, having copped their l|st two
contests after a poor start. He ex
pects, to send his same winning com
bination into the fray tomorrow night.

senators and six representatives has
bone appointed to the job of drawing
a new it venue bill, and early this
week it {« expected to take up the
question cf a general sales tax, which
is xpecied to be the most acceptabe
form of sales levy. No general sales
tax bill has been, introduced in. the
legislature this far, but this will be
no obstacle in the way of the sub
committee.-
The ci nimjittee fvejek heard;
Senator Clement explain his produc
tion tax bill, placing a tentative levy
of one-half of one percent oh ‘ all
manufactured products. Senator Hins
dale also gave a detailed account of
his selected commodity tax bill, al
most identical • with the one which
deadlocked the 1931 session. And Sen
tator Larry Moore outlined the ad
vantages of his bill imposing a tax
of one mill per kilowatt hour on
■electrical enegry.
..Major bills pertaining to election
laws, highway safety, the industrial
commission and the workman’s com
ipensation act, the school term, the
administration of public schools, mar
riage laws, and the consolidation of
various departmental agencies are ex
ipccted to come out of committee
rooms during the week.
Election Law Changes.
A Sub-committee on education is
mow attempting to dreft a general
bill embodying many proposed chan
ges in the election laws. One pro
posal would abolish the second pri
mary altogether, while another mea
sure. sponsored by the State Board
of Elections, would effect a saving
of $50,000 in the primaries and elec
tion by cutting costs here and there.
The Murphy-Bowie bill substituting
the old convention system for the
present primary system is also be
fore the commission, but it is con
sidered to have little chance of being
corporated into the general bill.
A roads sub-committee is at work
drafting a substitute for the Corey
drivers’ license bill, with the idea of
making certain that it would cost the
jState little or nothing to maintain
it- The same committee is rewriting
a measure, originally introduced by
the ;reorganisation \ committee, pro-
|any li|ghway construction
.for the next two years. It is likely
that some provision will be made in
the substitute to take care of emer
gency projects.
A public hearing will be held at 3
o’clock Wednesday afternoon on the
various proposals to abolish or re
gulate the Industrial Commission and
the workman’s compensation act- In
dications are that the insurance com
mittee, to which ail such proposals
have been referred, will draft a sub
stitute bill, embodying perhaps a few
features of each bill.
School Problems.
A sub-committee on education is
studying the question of an eight
months school term, and also various
proposals to reduce the number of
school districts and superintendents.
An eight months school term is being
sponsored by Senator Mac Lean, of
Beaufort, author of the six-months
school law. State operation of an eight
months school term, Senator Mac Lean
estimate® would save several million
dollars in the cost of operating the
system as at present.
The some sub-committee has before
it a number of proposals to cut costs
of school supervision by reducing the
number of county superintendents but
the committee is understood to look
with most favor upon the bill of Sen
ator Ingram, which would do away
with the county superintendents and
set up forty division superintendents.
The Ingram bill, according to its au
thor, would save at least $345,000 a
year.
Marriage Legislation.
It appears that a concerted effort
will be made to effect a compromise
on the bill repealing the law which
requires a medical examination for
would-be benedicts. This bill was in
troduced, along with a bill repealing
the law requiring five days’ notice of
Intention to wed', in an jeffort to
keep North Carolina couples from' go
ing to South Carolina and Virginia to
'be married- . ,
Welfare and women’s organizations
are vigorously opposed to doing away
with the medical examination, and
these compromise bill have been of
fered with the hope that the border
counties which have been getting lit
tle revenue from marriage licenses
fees in reent yars, will find them
(acceptable. Proponents of the com
promise bills believe that they would
tend to keep many North Carolina
couples from going over tne border to
have the nuptial knot tied.
More bills are expected during the
week from the reorganization com
mittee- Many details of the commit
tee’s proposal to consolidate the pri
son and highway departments have
yet to be worked out before the plain
would be in anything like an accep
table form. The committee is expect
ed to get to work during the week
on redrafting its bill substituting a
utilities commissioner for the three
member corporation commission. The
bill was defeated in its original form
by the Senate.

permament standard, enabling inter
national bargainers to reduce them to
a common denominator-
Among the world’s foremost trad
ing peoples such a system prevailed,
except for temporary disorganization
during the war, until the depression
set in, bringing fresh disorganization.
Today America and France alone have
thoroughly dependable moneys. In
deed, even the French have reduced
their. franc’s gold content, Still, its
value is fixed —at the figure it was
reduced to.
England plagues Uncle Sam most
seriously—because of its importance
Some time ago John Bull went upon
what financiers call a “managed
money” basis. The scale slides. Thus
(far lit has slid downward, which ob
viously was John Bull's purpose. The
moneys of other countries (also, in
various ways, off the gold standard)
haVe slumped, too —though under less
perfect control than England's.
To Disadvantage of U. S.
The effect of this general decline,
while Uncle Sam’s money stays peg-
HENDERSON, IN. C.,T BS3EY DISFXTCH, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1933
is a lowering of world produc
tion costs, in comparison with Am
erica’s.
That is to say—
When an English employer, for ex
ample pays what nominally is one
pound sterling to one of his workers,
in reality he is paying only about
three-fifths of a pound.
To Uncle Sam, this follows:
. Overseas production (.costs have
clined *0 imuph vth&t this protective
imposts no longer keep foreign goods
out of bis markets. They are entering
and competing with his native pro
ducts, whereas import levies of other
countries are still effective in keeping
his products out of their markets.
Unde Sam Underbid.]
Moreover, foreigners are able to un
derbid hi min neUtral-markets.
Uncle Sam could boost his own im
port taxes,'\,but he now sees* it as ad
vantageous to him to end tariff war
fare if he can, instead df intensifying
it. Besides, by increasing his tariff
rates, he would further increase his
production costs, thus increasing his
handicap in neutral markets. •
Or he might cheapen his money, as
his rivals have done—hut he dislikes
inflation, if he can avoid it.
From Uncle Sam’s standpoint the
ideal solution would be to induce coun
tries like England to return to the
system of Jfixed, dependable)
moneys.
That’s the nub of the international
exchange stabilization issue.

venue bill by the end of the week.
But most of the older and more ex
perienced hands believe that it will
require fully two weeks for the sub
committee to prepare its new bill.
This means that instead of getting the
bill today, as provided for in the
Moore resolution adopted the the first
week the legislature was in session,
the bill is not likely to be presented
■to the assembly before February 20-
This would leave barely two weeks
within which to debate the revenue
and appropriations bills, and enact
them before the expiration of the 60
days session on March 4. Very few
now believe the assembly can finish
all the work it has before it before
the middle of March, while a good
many believe it' wilf hot be able to
finish before April 1.
Sales Tax Seehis Sure-
It is - almost a foregone conclusion
■that the new revenue bill will contain
a general sales tax on gross retail
sales. Indications are that sentiment
is growing in both houses for such a
sales tax and that 'a majority have
already made up their minds to vote
for it, even though many of these per
sonally are opposed to such a tax. But
more and more of the members are
convinced that a general sales tax is
the only possible means of balancing
the budget, and of providing the re
venue needed for the operation of the
State government, even with the
drastic cuts in operating costs that
are going to be made.
As thiings now stand,- the revenue
bill suggested by the Advisory Budget
Commission failed by at least $7,000,-
000 to balance the budget recommend
ed, even with the more than $3,000,-
000 in salary cuts and greatly reduced
appropriations suggested. For the
joint finance committees have already
refused to consider diverting $2,000,-
000 from tht highway fund, to refund
■any of State’s bonded indebtedness,
which was recommended,, or to in
crease the taxes on corporate busi
ness sufficiently to recapture the $4,-
000.000 in taxes lost through the re
peal of the Statewide 15 cents pro
perty tax. Thus at least $7,000,000 a
year of new revenue mtist be found
in order to balance the budget and
retain all the tax schedules now in
the 1931 revenue act. And all of those
taxed under these schedules have been
pleading for rductions and opposing
any inci eases.
Consequently it has already become
apparent that a general sale stax is
about the only thing that will pro
duce the necessary $7,000,000 in new
revenue needed.
Issue To Be Size.
The big fight is expected to de
velop not over the adoption of a sales
fax, but over the size of the tax, ac
cording to present indications- For
there are already two well defined
groups of thought. One of these fa
vors the enactment of as small a sales
tax as possible in order to provide on
ly the $7,000,000 in new money need
ed. A two per cent gross sales tax
on retail sales would supply this
amount and some to spare, or about
$9,000,000- on the basis of present
estimates. This would allow slight in
creases in the present recommended
appropriations for the public schools
and the State institutions of higher
learning. It would not provide for a
State-supported eight months school
term.
Where the Fight Looms.
■Still another group, however, wants
to impose a sales tax of three per
cent, to provide about $12,500,000 a
year, so as to reduce the present in
come, franchise and corporation in
come tax schedules and afford indus
try some tax relief. Indications are
now that the sub-committee will re
commend a sales tax of this size. The
opposing school of thought, however,
maintains that the corporations
should not get all the tax relief and
that if a larger sales tax is adopted,
the added revenue should go to sup
port an eight months school term and
relieve the. taxpayers of more than
$4,000,000 a year in property taxes.
The big fight will be between these
two groups. ... .

libbujf $2,500 a day to keep the legis
lature in session. Yet, despite their
frequent protestations that economy
must be the watchword, a majority
of the legislators are still unwilling
to forego their customary trips back
home over the week-end.
In recent years it has been cus
tomary for both houses to adjourn
ion Friday with the understanding
that no Statewide bills shall be con
sidered until Monday night. Conse
quently Saturday sessions, attended
iby only a handful of members, have
been more or less perfunctory, only
a few local bills being considered.
At the beginning of the current ses
sion, there was a great hue and cry
about economy and holding the ses
sion to 60 days, and an effort was
tnade by some members to compel the
body to hold regular Saturday ses
sions. Each Friday at adjournment
time some of these members have
suggested the idea of a full Saturday
session, but so far they have been
met with the announcement that no
Statewide 'bills were on the calendar
for Saturday consideration, anyway.
These stickers for Saturday sessions
are wondering way it happens that
no Statewide bills, are ever on the
Saturday calendar, and have been
suggesting that some committee
‘chairman have been holding up bill's
to keep them from getting on the
calendar for consideration on Sat
urday. ■ * ;<
They point out that if the members
would forego their week-end trips
back home, a .full legislative day
could be put in.;on Saturdays, at a
saving"' of more than $2,500 a day
to the State. As it is,i the;Legislature
jmeets for only a few miniltes on Sat
urday, and does nothing more than
pass a few local bills —a few minutes
work that could be accomplished on
any other legislative day.

Re-Classifying of
Salaries Aimed at
Fair Play to All
% '
Dally DUpateh Bareaa.
In the Sir Walter Hotel..
BY J. C. BASKERVII,!,.
Raleigh, Feb. 6. —Tne first reaction
to |.he
calling for the appointment of a joint
(to. Investiig\ate s all State
salaries, reclassify all State employ
ees and recommend salary cuts, was
thjat it was discriminatory and aimed
at circumvent the personnel laws.
Many felt that it was nothing more
than an attempt on the part of the
General Assembly to slash salaries
without due regard for the services
(performed.
Present indications, however, are
that the resolution wa sreally intend
ed to prevent the thing many people
thought it would do—the enactment
of discriminatory salary slashing laws
The belief now is growing that the
absolution and the joint committee
appointde under it are going to re
sult in fair consideration and fair
treatment for all State employes, with
full regard for the improtance of the
duties they are performing. It is also
out that the naming of this
committee to make a detailed study
of State salaries from now until Feb
ruary 15 is more or less in line with
the recommendation by Governor J.
C. B. Ehringhaus that all salary re
ductions be considered on an indi
vidual basis in the light of the ser
vice performed by each individual,
rather than on a horizontal basis.
The joint committee appointed to
make this study of salaries is com
posed of Senators McNeill, of Cum
berland ; Corey, of Pitt; and Black
stock, of Buncombe, and Representa
tive Allen, of Granville; James, of
iForsyth; Massenburg, of Polk, and
Watson, of Nash. An analysis of this
committee indicates that while it will
seek to make reductions in salaries
( wherever possible, that it i s not like
ly *o do anything radical or reduce
the salaries of State employes below
the poirit necessary for a decent liv
ing., , , ..

it keeps the patrol in the highway
commission, whereas the reorganiza
tion committee thinks that the high
way patrol, after absorbing the theft
bureau’s duties, should be put under
the motor vehicle division of the De
partment of Revenue.
When the Mecklenburg senator in
troduced his bill Saturday, he request
ed Lieutenant Governor Graham tq
refer it to Judiciary Committee No.
>2, of which he is a member, but the
(presiding officer held that all bills
proposing the consolidation, of gov
ernmental units should properly gq
to Senator Moore’s committee. This
means that the bill has little chance
of being considered separately, as the
reorganiation committee is reported
to be prprineg a general bill carrying
but its recommendations pertaining
to the State highway patrol.
The Theft Bureau now costs about
$55,000 a year, and under Mecklen
burg Senator’s bill, the highway pa
trol would take up its work at na
extra cost of compensation, thus sav*
ting $55,000 annually.
