One Scale For Sales Tax Looms (Continued from Page one.) ment made following it by Maxwell to the effect that “the department is considering changes in the sales tax regulations that will simplify the ap plication of the tax, including one . composite schedule to apply to all merchants.” The conference was be tween members of the executive coun cil and secretary of the merchants as sociation and Commissioner Maxwell, Director Harry McMullen, of the sales • ' tax divisio nand several ethers in the Department of Revenue. Since Commissioner Maxwell is re cognized as being a man of few words his announcement that he was “con sidering changes” in the sales tax re gulations, especially the setting up of a single composite schedule for pass ing the tax alon g*o the public, is in terpreted as meaning that this will | be done in the near future. Ever since Commissioner Maxwell announced his regulations with re gard to the sales tax, the merchants i association in particular', through 'Willard L. Dowell, their executive secretary here, as well as other mer chants, have protested two regula tions in particular. They have vigor ously objected to the tregulation in which he made it optional rather than mandatory for the merchants to show the tax separately from the selling price and have wanted it made man datory to show both the selling pr:ce and tax on every sale. They have also opposed the four schedules set up for 'passing the tax along, asking that only one composite schedule be adopt ed, to apply to all alike. Commissioner Maxwell said noth ing in his statement following this conference about the first point in volved, concerning the showing of the sales price and tax on all advertised tprices, and an agreement may not have been reached on this point. It is known that Commissioner Maxwell still is convinced he was right in rul ing that this should be optional and • hat to make this mandatory would work a real hardship on many mer chants. He has been convinced that much of the agitation for this ruling has been coming from the extreme element in the ranks of merchants who are primarily interested in mak ing the’ sales tax more unpopular than it now is. It is also understood that a good many merchants who at first wanted this regulation made mandatory about showing the tax as a separate item on every sale, as well as on all advertised prices, do not want this now. For some merchants who are insisting on doing this are losing business as a result, finding out that it is bad sales psychology. They are finding out that customers are more likely to buy an article marked merely “price 20c” than if marked “Price 19c plus lc sales tax,” which was the way most of the mer chants wanted the prices advertised at first. There has been a growing dissatis faction among the merchants, how ever, with the four different schedules set up by Mr. Maxwell in the sales tax regulations. They have argued that they were confusing and that many merchants did not know which schedules to adopt. They also main tained that some merchants would adopt the schedule under which they could get the most taxes from the public, regardless of whether it was the schedule they should adopt or not. They also maintained that the four schedules were too confusing to the buying public. “Unless these schedules are chang ed and one single composite schedule adopted, the people of the state will be charged fully $5,000,000 more a year than the thre per cent tax calls for,” Dowell said of this ruling. “In order to safeguard and protect the public, this regulation should be changed.” AT THE END of the RAINBOW From Chicago Sally Gwynne’s [ ,‘J s new job as secretary to a Florida Jp looked like thepro \ pot contained not gold but a«. seething conglomeration of rack- n > I ' ' nunnwtSnlljcunulnstn linil, VACATION ESCAPADE A Serial to Please Your Summer Appetite By ARTHUR SHUMWAY BEGINS TUESDAY, JULY 18, IN Itettitersimßsflg Bispafrlt ; \ HOURS 9 A.

East and West were not vulnerable. North’s hand was so strong defen sively that he made a third-hand opening bid of 1-Club. East did not hold a doubling hand, he had to show his two-suiter, and he was justified in his jump overeatl of 2-Hearts. West having passed was not obli gated to respond on a bust, but. East knew that his partner would respond upon very little strength. South bid 2-Spades, causing West to pass, and North to bid 3-Spades, but East gave his partner a choice of makes, by bidding 4-Diamonds. South had nothing more to say. West shifted hosp-tal board. When it has been prepared, it will be submitted to the .public a week in advance of the meet ing of the commissioners, so thalt there may be a general understand ing of it. Ths : Statement to be prepared will -show how the- cost to the county will be no more under the merger than the county hospital is costing the county at the present time. A finan cial statement has already been made up showing that ratio of costs, this having been prepared by experts of the Duke Endowment hospital section It is contended that the merger would provide a much better hospital and that charity work could be done much more efficiently and at no greater cost. The merger has been proposed by the Duke Endowment, with a view to setting up in Hender son a large hospital to serve this en tire section of the State, and which would eventually attract much greater support from the Duke interests, even to the pointment of possibly of en larging the Maria Parham hospital as the need arise. Maria Parham hspital has been in operation for some eight years. It was built by a group of local doctors, with some outside assistance, but several years ago was into a civilian group of trustees so as to make it eligible for Duke Endowment funds for charity work. uuo 4-Hfcaris. North would Have done better to have bid 4-Spades, than to double, but he chose the latter. With one probable trump trick in his hand South passed. South preferred to open the suit bid by his partner, rather than lead his spades headed by a Q. North s K won the trick, dropping East’s lone J Back came North’s K of spades, to at once remove the Ace from dummy. The 8 of diamonds was led. When the Ace was not played East finessed his J, and won the trick The de clarer could not afford to lead win ning hearts, he needed to trump some of his losing diamonds, so he led a low heart, giving South a trick with his Q. To save one ruff of declarer’s dia monds, South led back a trump, and dummy war in. Dummy’s last dia mond was led. North had to win with his Ace. He forced the de clarer, by leading the 9 of spades, obliging East to trump. Dummy trumped a low diamond, and the de clarer regained his own hand by trumping ore of dummy’s spades. Then he led his K of hearts, to pick up South’s last trump. His K cf diamonds picked up North’s Q. and the declarer spread his hand, show ing one long diamond and a single good trump with which to win the last two tricks. He made his 4-odd, doubled, having lost only one trick in each ot three suits—a heart, a diamond and a club. Several times the defensive play might have been varied but nothing that North and South could have done should have defeated the con tract of as good a player as East.
