! ]ilnns is- that the Barker plan would !
.start with very low rates, but would. 1
when a company operates a great i
many filling stations, reach a maxi- !
mum of $250 for each filling station
owned or controlled bv the same com- j
i pany when tht number exceeds 75 I
I stations. The maximum under the i
i - um-conimitr.ee plan would be SIOO for
| a single unit, and that tax would apply i
i only when the total number exceeds j
100 stations.
It is understood that the Barker j
plan has the endorsement of the anti
| sales tax hloc. |
Floor space, as predicted by this
1 bureau, is incorporated as a prime I
! factor in tho sub-committee's new j
j chain store tax sect ion. Chain filling }
I stations are not included in the group j
! The two sections were drawn because J
jin the recent; famous West Virginia
j case before the I'nited States Supreme j
| Court, it was held that states may tax I
j chain groups in almost any fashion, j
'Heretofore chain filling stations were J
exempted from the chain store tax be- j
cause such a levy against them would j
have been inequitable.
The new chain store tax section.
I written by the subcommittee, would ;
bring to the state $160,846. an increase j
| of about $36,000 over the present an
nual revenue from a similar section
1 All of the contemplated increase in
revenue would be derived from the
floor space factor.
! Under the new schedule chain stores [
would be taxed on a graduated scale
i beginning at SSO and ranging upward i
to S2OO for each store above 100 in j
a single chain. In addition to the i

! regular chain tax. an additional levy
would be imposed on all chain stores
having an enclosed floor space in ex
’> cess of 2500 square feet. The levy, as
proposed by the subcommittee, would
j he sls for each additional 1.000 square
! feet.
Indication was given that the latter
tax would he vigorously opposed. Sev

i that the floor space plan would pen
} alize North Carolina-owned depart
; ment stores. Dr. McDonald expressed
j his dislike for the plan because, he
I said, “it fails to take into account the
i principle of tax-levying—ability to
| pay.” it is plainly evident that there i
I will be considerable argument before
| any plan is definitely adopted,
i Representative Barker made an ex
| cellent speech in advocacy of his
i substitute /or the sub-committee
i chain filling station tax, referring to
J one of the major oil companies as
i octopus of predatory wealth” as
:ne looked at Dr. McDonald and wink
led. “Fast summer,” said R e present a- ;
! tivo Barker, “the major oil companies i
almost insulted the governor when he
| asked them to reduce the price of gas
; oline. which was excessively. They
j have reaped enormous profits, and
pay into the State treasury only SIOO,-
000 annually for privilege licenses.
They have crucified the State and its
citizens, t think my $1,293,416 a mod
's t request.”
j The committe spent most of its
time on the chain store tax. A sub- j
! committee was appointed to study the
) plumbers’ tax. The committee will
j hear the subcommittee’s report this
j afternoon.
Referring to the approximate SIOO,- ;

ed to receive from the emergency hill
now before Congress, Senate finances

SKI J -CO VS ITTI TF.D
I The committee, he it understood, is
1 a self-constituted committee of mem-
I hers of the lower congressional cham
j her.
! It calls itself a committee, but it |
i is more in the nature of an alliance.
Its personnel is exclusively Demo
| cratic. That is to say, it is Demo
i cratically labeled. It is in rebellion
against party discipline, however.
Some of the committee’s adherents
•ire dissatisfied with one administra
tion policy. Others are dissatisfied,
group by group, with other ad minis- .
.ration policies, respectively. There is
little unity among them as to what
they are dissatisfied with, but they !
are a unit in being dissatisfied.
dkmocr \tic dissatisfaction
This, hear in mind, is Democratic
dissatisfaction.
Republican congressmen naturally
are dissatisfied. It is. however a more
serious matter, for a Democratic ad- i
ministration to have Democratic con- i
gressmen dissatisfied.
A majority party, with so large a
majority as the Democrats’ present i
; majority in the House of Representa- ,
lives, can afford a little insurgency in !

its ranks. The representatives, parlia
mentary rules (much stricter than the
the Senate’s) are such as to enable i
j the majority’s management almost i
completely to suppress a minority I
within its own majority.
That is what the administration’s 1
1 Democratic majority has been doing ,
to the Democratic minority thus far
at ’the south end of the Capitol build- ■
ing. at this session of Congress. It I
has kept control to date, hut there j
is a limit to the number of “bolters”
over whom a majority can continue j
to keep the whip hand.
REGARDED WITH ALARM
One hundred “bolters.” out of the
Democrats’ alignment of 322 in the
representatives' chamber, would he
too formidable a defection for the
administration to regard with any
thing except, alarm —and plenty of it
Oh, yes; the Democrats lose i
100 votes and still have a majority.
If the total 100 insurgents were to
join the 102 Republicans, tb seven
Progressives and the three Farmer I
Labovit.es. and if all of them were to I
vote solidly, the Democrats stil? would j
have (there’s one vacancy) a favor- j
able margin of 10.
But how would it look, for what '
ought to be a. majority of 210 to have )
dwindled to one-twentieth of its orU j

|To Protect Roads
i From Over-Loaded
j Trucks) and Tanks
Oally Uiapntck Hticeai-,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh. Match I.—The bill to em
power the State Highway and Pub
i ii o Works Commission to designate
J the load limit on the various roads
!} n the State and prohibit loads be
! yond ..designated weights, introduced
|in the Senate Thursday by Senator
' Spence, chairman of the Senate Roads
j Committee, is going to have strong
I support in both houses, according to
j comment from members today. The
i purpose, of the hill is to protect the
secondary roads that, do not have con
j crete or asphalt pavement., from be
) ing torn lo pieces by heavy trucks.
! Engineers of the highw r ay department
| maintain that the enactment of this
j hill will have tho State hundreds of
j thousands of dollars a year in main-
I tenance and repair costs, since it will
give the highway commission the
power to compel the heavier trucks to
| use only those roads which are built
! strong enough to stand this heavier
traffic.
1 Two years ago a similar hill was
introduced, but failed to pass 'because
the various truck organizations op
posed it and succeeded in killing it.
' But in the present session there is
much sentiment in opposition to the.
trucks any way, and a good many ob
servers believe this bill stands ex
cellent chance to he enacted this time.
The argument that the State will
save thousands of dollars in mainte
, nance and repair costs hv limiting the
tonnage of trucks bn the lighter types
I of roads, however, is expected to carry
| a good deal of weight; when the bill
comes up for action.
Federal. Tobacco Grading
I Hearings Have Been Ended
(Continued trom Page one.)
Colonel T. M. Carrington, of Rich
mond, Va., a leader of the proponents.
“Government grading has been a
great, benefit to the cotton grower,
! hasn’t it?” Fulmer asked.
Colonel Carrington, who formerly
headed the Tobacco Association of the
United States, which is opposed to
j the Flannagan bill, hesitated.
“But.” he • replied in a moment,
I “there are more than 100 grades of
t tobacco and the grades are not uni
; form.”
“Neither are cotton grades uniform”
1 said Fulmer, “but grading is a good
I service and we have no trouble with
competent government cotton grad
ers.”
In numbers the opponents turned
| out better than the proponents.
