Opponents Os Sales Tax
Put House Into Reverse
Bowie-Cherry Bloc Continue sTo Tear Committee Ap

Daily Dinimteh Rnr.->nn,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
BY J. r. BABKERVILL.
Raleigh, March 18.—Backing away
from the leadership of Governor J. C.
B Ehringhaus in reverse gear and
racing the motor, with the Cherry-
Bowie bloc at the wheel, the House
continued to tear the committee ap
propriations bill to shreJs yesterday
and toadopt the figures contained in
the Bow’e or Cherry substitute in
their place. It is expected to continue
work on this bill when it convenes
again Monday night, since no public
Ibills are be|ng taken up today. When
the bill is finally completed, it is
expected to contain appropriations for
all purposes of about $36,000,000 a
year, of which about $21,000,000 will
be for general fund purposes, includ
ing public schools, and the remainder
for the highways and highway debt
service.
The committee appropriations hills
called for a total outlay of approxi
mately $41,000,000 a year for all pur
poses, of which $25,000,000 a year was
(for general fund objects, including
$13,500,000 for the six months school
term. The Bowie bill as originally
drawn provided a total of only $34,-
000,000 for all purposes of which $19,-
000,000 was for general fund objects,
with only $10,000,000 for the support
of the six months school term.
Opposes Sales Tax.
The principal reason the House has
gone into reverse gear and backed
away from the program advocated by
.Governor Ehringhaus, is that the
Cherry-Bowie bloc, with its majority
of about 55 members, is at the present
time unalterably opposed to a sales
tax, and hence opposed to a State
supported eight months school term.
For all factions agree that a sales tax
of some sort, most likely a three per
cent general sales tax, would be nec
essary to enable the State to take
over the support of an eight months
school term The reason this same
(Cherry-Bowie bloc was so opposed to
the adoption of the committee appro
priations bill was because they felt
that it would require a sales tax,
even though a small one to finance a
budget of $25,000,000 a year
The leaders of the Cherry-Bowie
coalition maintain that they have 65
members of the'House signed up and
lare on record that they will refuse to
vote for any form of sales tax under,
any consideration That they have at
least 55 members .in this bloc is borne
out by the vote on the adoption of the
Cherry-Bowie substitute appropria
tions bill which the House adopted
by a vote of 53 to 43 At least five of
the 43 who voted to adopt the com
mittee bill explained their votes by
saying that they were only voting to

use it as the basis for discussion and
that their vote for it did not mean
that th >y or would ever vote for

Argument Falls Fla*.
Speech after speech was made be
fore the adoption of the Cherry-Bowie
substitute bill in an effort to shaw
the members of this coalition that the
property tax reduction that would re
sult to the home and property own
ers from a State-supported eight
months school term would fully com
pensate for a sales tax. But these
speeches had no more effect tliin the
