Stewart feel that it should be acceptable to all the divs. especially to Cale K. Burgess and the United Dry Forces, since they have been opposing the Hill bill very largely on the grounds that the people of the State expressed themselves in the 1933 repeal election and that henre there is no need for another Statewide referendum. So they do not see how even the “blind diys’’ should oppose Ibis plan, whilh would permit the establishment or State liquor stores only in those conn ties that voted wel in the 1933 elec tion. Nor do they see how the drys can oppose the provision that any county, city or town that voted dry in the 1933 repeal election may hold another election to determine whether ot not. a state liquor store or stores may be established. It is conceded, however, that the divs will again reverse their position as soon as either of ihese plans is proposed and maintain htat even those counties that voted for repeal should continue to bound hy the ma jority vote of the comities that voted dry. The facts ate. .according to most observers, that the drys do not want to submit the question of liquor stores versus supposed prohibition to an\ vote, either state or local option while the Democrats do not want a Statewide referendum because they feel certain the Republicans will vote with the divs just as long as they can stagger to the polls in the hope of winning enough dry Democrats over into the Republican ranks to eventually get control of the State gov ernment. A majority of the Demo crats in the present assembly also seem afraid to pass the Hill bill or any other liquor .control bill without a referendum because they feat- that would lay the Democratic patty open to attack by both the drys and Re publicans.

Its Argentine trade began to boom over night, Yan kee manufacturers receiving Argen tine raw materials in return for their factories’ products. Then the United States adopted the Fordney-McCum ber tariff, early in the Hat ding* re gime, largely ending Argentine im ports into this country. Thereupon Yankee sales in the Argentine ended as a bursting soap bubble vanishes. Europe was getting back upon a pro ductive basis and took over the busi ness. Nevertheless, nder the Fordney-Mc- Cnnibei handicap North American ex porters gradually rebuilt their trade, and were doing fairly well again in I River Platt markets —when, shortly ! ! following President Hoover's election, ! the Hawley-Smoot tariff was enacted. I What happened? Well, I haven't Argentine figures, specifically at hand —but, in the 1929 fiscal year, America’s sales abroad footed five billions; in the last fiscal year they footed under the increased tariff, three billions.

There were shouts of “speech, speech” and “we want to hear from the Gov ernor—the man who has led us and stood by us in this fight for better tobacco prices.” Finally the Governor was almost forced to make a few brief remarks. He was greeted with a. spontaneous burst of applause.by the farmers pre sent. He was “their man.” Former Lieutenant Governor Foun tain seated down on the main floor with the farmer, arose to ask a ques tion or two of J. B.

McDofnald, Maxwell Differ Over Taxes (Continued Irom Page One.) ment generally on the revenue which would accrue to the State if the Mc- Donald-Lumpkin plan is adopted in toto, except that the commissioner thought that the increased revenue would be collected for only the first year. “Many corporations,” said Mr. Maxwell, “will dissolve and revert to a private ownership basis rather than pay increased corporation taxes. Oth ers would, no doubt, leave the State.” When McDonald asked him if he thought the new plan “based upon an assumption of right,” the commission- er shook his head. “No,” he said, “it I would levy an inerease on some cor potations that they could not pay and ! I do not think it is right to penalize a corporation for property-ownership while individuals are relieved of the property tax.” He mentioned cotton mills as corporations which would be unable to pay increased levies as pro posed by Dr. McDonald. After a meeting of the joint finance commottiee both agreed that the Mc- Donald estimate on revenue to be ob tained from an occupational tax to be a high one. They differed, however, on the feasibility of collecting the tax, Dr. McDonald saying that it would be a simple task, while Mr. 1 A Business Handicap a reflection on' yom women alike can’t yourself a personal handicap?

Maxwell termed collection of such a levy as “almost impossible.” Dr. McDonald thanked the commis missioner for compiling the numerous tables necessary and, apparently, they are on the best of terms despite their difference in views. The comparative tables presented by Mr. Maxwell show ed that corporation taxes paid to the State, without regard for local taxes, is higher than most other American states. 1832 —John G.
