THE HOME-TOWN PAPER*
The Journalism department of the
University of Southern California has
Keen delving into the buying habits
of newspaper readers and has made
rfiiiwr valuable discoveries. Subscribers
to the home-town paper buy from
U to 21 per cent more merchandise
from local stores than do non-sub
scribers. Os the people in neighboring
irural or smaller communities, sub
scribers buy from advertisers from
jg to 35 per cent more merchandise
than non-suhscribers. This holds true,
regardless of spending power.
The local newspaper, it is estimat
ed, makes one of the largest, if not
the largest, contributions to volume
of trade in the smaller cities of Cali
fornia, and doubtless in the other
states. The relation of t,he newspapei
to the business world is more vital
today than at any time in the past de
cade. The investigators are convinced
that retail business in the stnallei
communities would be from one-fifth
to one-fourth below its present level
without the push given it by news-,
(paper advertising.
“In such economic conditions as w<
have today,” says the report, “the lo
cal newspaper is an inestimable asset
to the entire community. Not only fe
lt reservoir of local and national in
formation but through its ability tc
Increase consumption of local goods
It stands out above any other in
filitutlon in community-building value
Jt can also be verified that without
siich advertising merchandise in itself
would be less dependable in quality
and price, to say nothing of the effect
upon trade ethics and practices. Foi
without advertising, there is no oppor
tunity for the consumer to make com
parisons of either goods or prices.”
The local newspaper has to make
quite a struggle against the big city
competitor. If local citizens appreciat
ed its value to them they would givt
It whole-hearted support,—Post Bul

Feb. 15 —Legisiatiion af
fecting North Carolina’s stringent mar
-'iaigc law is vtbeing with fhie bill to
abolish the Corporation Comtntltesibn
’ls the m|ost juggled tolCil of the pre
sent aession of the Getmsina.l Astsemhly.
Although a so-callled substitute “com
•promtsc” bill ihias paiss'ed the Senate,
the upper ihouae is ncit yet through
with the bill and indicat'cns are that
; t wi:l9 f>i.niaJlily find lltse'lf back d;n the
bawds of a Senate conum'ittse for re

At any rate, It is mow regarded as
reasomaMy certain thlat the bdill as it
wlais re-written by Senate Judicilary
ccimlmiittee No. 2 has littlle chiamce off

Senate cominiit'ee itio gav e applicants

that they have mot had tiutoetrculois or
a social disease wfiihlltn two years, or
else to preaiefait a. phyzLciian’s oertifii
cato to that effect.
‘After severaii diayr’ wrangling, thte
Senate finally passed the substitute
■bill, which senators from tb. e border
counltiiesi imjaiintalln defeats the purpose
of the original bllll in- that it wiilll pot
tend to stop North Carolina couplies
from going into Virginia and South
Carolina to l>e imlarried. A powerful
■lobby 'has been oainldudted fo<r the
substitute bill by women's and wel
fare interests. |
Whnfte the bill passed the Senate by
a .comfortable maoirillty, it its clearly
(evident thlat many isenialtiors who voted
for the measure are not entirely sat
isfied with if, atnid there is much seint
imemlt that at should go back to com

Merchants’ Attack Upon
Sales Tax Is tflective,
But Battle Not Won Yet
(Continued from Fas* One.)
is that there is? no general sales tax
bill under consideration in either the
House or Senate- True, the finance
sub-committee is understood to be
working on some sort of a sales tax
plan, while several other groups are
also said to be preparing sales tax
bills of various sorts. But so far, no
one knows just what any of these
bills contain, or when any of them
will be introduced. So as far as the
personnel of the General Assembly is
concerned, many believe that there is’
still a good sized majority in both
houses in favor of a eeneraL sales tax
if and when such a measure is re
ported.
May Be La&t Resort.
“I have always been opposed to a
sales tax of any sort and still am op
posed to one,” an influential member
of the House said today. “But if it
becomes apparent that a sales tax of
some sort is the only means of get
ting the necessary revenue with which
to balance the budget, than I am go
ing to vote for it regardless of my
own view or the views of the mer
chants. I do not think any sales tax
should be imposed except as a last
resort measure. But present indica
tions continue to point toward a gen
eral sales tax, regardless of how much
the General Assembly may dislike to
impose it.”
The senVment expressed by this
member of the General Assembly
seems to be shared by many others
,as well, though none are as yet will
ing to be quoted, since no sales tax
measure is yet under actual considera-j
tion.
Committee Cods.
There are indications, however, that
the barrage of letters and telegrams
from merchants and others opposed to !
i general tax on retail sales, direct-;
ed this past week especially at the
su-bcommittee now trying to write a
new revenue bill, has had some effect.
■Leading opponents of the sales tax
here now believ that the sub-commit
tee has so cooled in itg ardor for a
saies tax that it may not try to write
one into the revenue bill it i s pre
paring, but instead pass this task on
to the entire joint finance commit
tee. The deluge of letters and tele
grams the sub-committee mmbers
have received from influential citi
zens in all sections of the St&te is
regarded as having definitely slowed
down the progress of the committee
so far as its intentions to write a
general sales tax into the revenue bill.
“I absolutely fail to see how either
the finance committee or the General
Assembly can believe a general re
tail sales tax on the merchants is
■fair or how they expect it to pro
duce at times like these,” said WiL
lard Dowell .secretary of the North
'Carolina Merchants Association, >td
day, in discussing the sales tax sitj
uation. “The members of the commit*
tee have heard dozens of merchants
.and know that the merchants as a
class are not making any profit andi
that 'the imposition of a sales tax op.
gross retail sales would literally tbrow
thousands of them into bankruptcy.
Business Mortality*
“For the past two years, retail mer
chants have been going bankrupt or
retiring from business at the rate of
300 a month. The records compiled
by the State Department of Revenue
and Tax Commission show that more
than 7,000 merchants have gone out
of business since the merchants li
cense tax was imposed in 1931. At the
present time there are already 9,000
vacant store building in the State. If
a general sales tax is imposed there
■will be 9,000 vaeant stores within six
months after its enactment. For the
retail merchants of the State simply
cannot stand a general sales tax
whtoh they can neither afford to ab
sorb and whieh they will not be able
to pass on.”
But in spite of these contentions,
the general belief continues to be that
the General Assembly is still heading
toward the enactment of a general
sales tax.- : :;

ON WORKMEN’S LAW
Present Statute Will Stand
But Alterations Consid
ered' Likely
Daily ni«j»at<>fc Rnrenu,
la the *Jr Waiter Motel.
BY J. C. B4SKIOB VJJ-L.
Raleigh, Feb. 12—Any further at
tempt to do away entirely with the
workmen's compensation act is now
considered to be blocked during this
eeasion of the General Assembly, but
opponent of the act are fighting to
change it so that it will hardly be
recognizable if their efforts are suc
cessful. Ever since the Senate Insur
ance Committee reported unfavorably
the bill abolishing the act, amend
ments to the present law have been
finding their way into the Senate
hopper on the average of two or three
a day.
Organized labor is solidly against
repeal of the workman’s compensa
tion act and they presented such an
impressive case at the recent hearing
on the matter it hat the insurance
committee reported the bill unfavor
ably', without even a minority report
being offered. Senator Kirkpatrick, of
Meckenburg, moved yesterday to have
the bill taken from the unfavorable
calendar, but his motion was defeated
toy a vote of 24 to 14, which was de
cisive enough to preclude any fur
ther effort along that line.
Source of Opposition.
Most of the opposition to the pre
sent law has come from some of the
lawyers and groups of “unorganized”
labor in the textile sections. These
spokesmen for unorganized labor
claim that they got more compensa
tion: for Injury before the passage of
the workman's compensation act than
they do now- They claim that the
co-tton mills., under .the old plan, were
always willing to make a fair settle
ment rather than to pay the costs of
a damage suit.
The numerous amendments to the
act which have been proposed during
the past few days will be taken up
at a public hearing by the Senate
Insurance Committee sometime during
the latter part of the week. The exact
date for the hearing has no<t been set.
Some of these amendments are ex
pected to hav the approval of both
proponents and opponents of the pre
sent law, while some others will in
evitably precipitate a spirited fight.
Three Changes Proposed.
Senator Barker, of Samnson, is the
author of three bills aimed at the
revamping of the act. One of them
would require the payment of phy
sicians’ and lawyers’ fees within ten
days after an award by the State
Industrial Commission, while another
would allow the State Medical So
ctoty to fix fees due its members for
medical services in workman’s com
pensation cases. The third bill by Sen
ator Barker would permit appeals to
the superior court from the findings
of the Industrial Commission on ques
tions of fact.
Senator Kirkpatrick, of Mecklen
burg, also has introduced several bills
affecting the present administration
of the workman’s compensation act.
One of his bills would raise the maxi-

from. $6,000 to $12,000, while another
(would give the next of kin the com
pensation of an employe who loses
his life and has no dependents.
These two are expected to en
counter little or no opposition from
the workers themselves, as those work
ers who have been fighting to get the
present law repeald have been claim
ing all along that the act did not
provide enough compensation, and
that the amount should be raised if
the act were not scrapped altogether.
Still another bill by Senator Bell,
of Henderson county, would require
the Industifi.nl Commission to con
duct its healings at the locations of
accidents, and one by Senator Land,
of Iredell, is * designed primarily to
permit superior couits to review the
findings of the commission. Several
other bills affecting the workman’s
compensation act are now in prepara
tion and are expected to be intro
duced before the insurance committee
holds its public hearing this week.

FOOLISH THINKING
ON SCHOOL COSTS
Chapel Hill, Feb. 15—There is at
present a great deal of fallacious
thinking about the cost of North Car
clina’s schools, due largely to the fact
that many people of the State have
not become fully acquainted with the
tt'ue future (of education Guy B.
Phillips superintendent of the Greens
boro city schools and chairman of the
public relations committee of the
North Carolina Association told the
North Carolina Club in an address last
night on the school situation,
“The school people have nothing to
lose and everything to gain by having
all the facts presented for experience
has shown time and again that those
who know the true facts about the
schools are thosa most anxious to
help them get a square deal” Mr.
Phillips asserted.
