OTHERS’ VIEWS
INCOME TAX PUBLICITY.
To the Editor:
According to the 1930 census there
were 3,170,287 people In the "Old
North State.” There are not many rich
people in the State. I think 170,287
would be a liberal estimate of the
number of our wealthy fellow citizens
and that leaves us three million not
so well fixed. This estimate being
correct and I think it is, it seems to
me that there are thx*ee million peo
ple in our State without representa
tion in the State Legislature or the
Congress. If that is not true why then
should our representatives in the
Legislature and the Congress try to
aid the rich to the everlasting detri
ment of the farmers and workers?
Under our system of Government the
majority is supposed to rule, but our
law makers give little heed to that
purpose of our Democratic form of
government. The Legislature seems to
want to tax the farmers and work
ers to make less the tax of the rich.
They are trying to lower the damablc
sales tax on luxuries and keep it as
it is on the necessities of those who
have to work. Congressman R. L.
Doughton of the 9th district, who by
accident of his length of service, is
chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee was largely instru
mental in a vote in the House to re
peal the law which gives publicity to
income tax returns. Not a Congress
man from this State voted against the
repeal. They all followed Doughton’s
lead. In the debate just before the
vote to repeal this law Congressman
Sabath of Illinois, said: "Never before
has there been such well organized
propaganda or such a lobby as there
has been at this session. They are here
in full force to repeal this law and
kill any piece of legislation that is
beneficial and helpful to the masses
of our Nation.” It is awful to know
that our Congressman voted to pleaso
these agents of the rich to the injury
of three million North Carolinians.
These Congressman were hired last
Fall to go to Washington and work
in the interest of their constituency,
which is composed by a big majority
of farmers and workers. Yet not one
of them voted last Monday in the in
terest of those who gave them their
jobs, but in the interst of Andy Mel
lon and bis class. The men in the
Congress who try to serve the people
worked for nearly fifteen years to get
this law to prevent the rich from de- I
frauding rhe Government In their in- j
come tax returns. The Democrats
' pass
ed Uwp.te Lie solid opposition of
Hoover Republicans, and this year,
when the Democrats have the largest
majority they ever had they reverse
themselves and vote with the Repub
licans to repeal the law because it is
offensive to the rich. It may appear
that I am trying to make a moun
tain out of a mole hill in saying so
much about the repeal of this law. I
am trying to call attention to the say
ing that "straws show the way the
wind blows.” Several bills are com
ing up in thjs Congress to benefit the
people of this fair land; *uch as the
Frazier-Lemke refinancing bill and
the soldiers compensation bill and a
bill to pay farmers a fair profit on
what they produce. And when they do
who will expect these representatives
from this State to support them in
view of their actions last Monday
when they voted to make it easy for
such men as Andy Mellon to cheat
the Government.

PROHIBITION CONDEMNED
To the Editor:
It is not my purpose to unduly criti
cize or condemn the motives or sin
cerity of the clergy and the few over
zealous advocates of prohibition laws
as they now exist. For them I have
no words of condemnation or re
proach. They are sincere but have
failed to consider facts as they exist.
They fail to recognize or believe that
the large majority of their co-work
ers and supporters at the ballot box
are men and women who under the
terms of the Turlington Act are hypo
critical men and women who have in
criminated themselves directly or
otherwise. They have consumed or
concealed that which the laws of
North Carolina forbid.
The human race has been cursed
by alcohol from time immemorial.
Some men have drunk to excess and
will continue to do so as long as they
are allowed to disregard the rights of
others and sufficient respect, for them
selves.
It is not r question of bow much
revenue can be obtained by legalizing
the sale and control of alcohol, neith
er does it matter a great deal whether
nig. hut it makes a great deal of dif
consumption is increasing or decreas
ference if we convince our children
that we are hypocrites wholly with
out respect for the law and order.
We are at the crossroads. We must
choose. Will we legalize and control
the sale and distribution of alcohol
or will we continue to be hypocrites?
Utilize the revenue derived from the
same to teach our children the re
morse that they will surely reap by
the excessive indulgence of alcohol.
Equip an institution for the cure of
alcoholic disease. Impound from self
destruction those that refuse to help
themselves. Hand out certain and se
vere punishment to those who refuse
to respect the rights and safety of
others. Teach them in no mistakable
way that public drunkedness will not
be tolerated.
Death row in our state prison is ful!
of human beings awaiting execution
Our prisons and road camps are over
flowing will, mon T am reliably
informed ha> in a majority of these
crime: illicit alcohol in some way is
directly or indirectly responsible.
Hi* I urlingt.on Act is a farce We
are surrounded on all sides by wet
States Blind tigers and bootleggers
abount by the thousand. Public senti
merit, measured by practice, not. by
the ballot box, is in sympathy with
them. Pure legal alcohol sold at a
reasonable price is the only weapon
that will recapture our State from
them. It is not a question of supply
and demand. It is a matter of legal
distribution and control safeguarded
by honest public sentiment.

Under New Revenue Act
Dally l>i.H|>a(«-h llnrcan,
In I lie Sjr Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, March 16 The sales lax
section of the new’ revenue bill con
tains quite a number of changes and
new sections designed to bring about
better enforcement by making evasion
more difficult, although in general it
is identical with the present law. The
exemptions permitted under the pre
sent law, which provided that the
sales tax should not apply to sales of
flour, meal, coffee, tea, sugar, lard,
meat, and milk, have been removed,
with the exception that milk and ice
sold direct by dairymen or ice manu
facturers to their customers are not
taxable. But if milk or ice are sold
by grocery rtores or intermediate deal
ers such sales will be taxable.
The rate of the tax remains the
same as at present, which is a three
percent on all gross retail sales. The
minimum estimate as to the amount
of revenue the present sales tax sec
tion will yield is $9,250,000 a year,
while some estimate the yield, as high
as $10,000,000 a year. It is estimated
that the present sales tax law will
bring in about $8,000,000 this year.
Last year the sales tax yielded $6,011,-
700 for the first eleven months it was
in operation.
The new revenue bill also extends
the sales lax to apply to charges made
for rooms and meals by hotels, board
ing houses, tourist camps and to
charges for meals by all cases and
restaurants. It is estimated that the
extension of the sales tax to these
charges will yield approximately $500,-
000 a year more than is collected from
these sources at. present, though some
members o r the finance committees
believe the. yield will be much higher.
The two most important changes
made by the finance committees in
the sales tax section of the revenue
bill designed to increase collections
from the law, are the new sub-sections
which requqire that, whenever a mer
chant collects more in sales lax than
his gross sales call for that this ex
cess shall be paid to the state and
the one which requires every mer
chant to give a sales slip with every
purchase and to save a duplicate. The
section provides that, all merchants

shall save their duplicate hill of sale
for a period of two years in special
files.
The admitted purpose of (heir latter
section is to give the Department of
Revenue a better check on the total
of gross retail sales made by mer
chants, since it is now conceded that
a great many merchants do not keep
accurate records of their gross sales.
Repaid ment of Revenue officials esti
mate that they are now failing to col
lect between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000
a year in sales taxes paid by the pub
lic but not remitted by merchants due
to the failure of merchants to keep
accurate records of sales and a lack
of funds for a sufficiently large field
force of auditors and collectors. Wil
lard L. Dowell, secretary of the
North Carolina Merchants Associa
tion. told Senator Harris,s Newman,
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee, that in his opinion the state
was failing to collect at least $2,000,-
000 a year of the present sales tax.
These new sections added to the bill
are designed to correct some of the
defects in the old law that permitted
such Conditions to exist.
The new sales tax section covers
48 printed pages and is one of the
longest sections in the entire revenue
bill. It provides, as does the present
law, that the Commissioner of Reve
nue shall have power to draw up rules
and regulations specifying the manner
in which the sales tax shall be col
lected by merchants and passed on to
the public and that these rules and
regulations shall have the same force
and effect as the revenue act itself.
It al.o provides that the sales tax
must be passed on to the public and
added onto the selling price and that
it must not he absorbed by the mer
chant.

believe that the spenders will finally
win their battle.
In the second instance, to cite only
a. few of the many reasons for a pro

longed fight, State employees, includ
ing public schools teachers, are given
but a. 20 per cent increase in salary
for the first year of the new biennium,
25 per cent for llie second. They are
almost sure to be voted a 25 per cent
increase for the first year as well. Add
taxes levied in the new revenue nioa
to that the fact that many of the new
sure are likely to fail of adoption. Any
tampering with the new levies will
throw the money bills still further off
balance and sentiment for a balanced
budget is very strong. Few believe
that this legislature will adjourn sine
die while it knows that it is the auth
or of an unbalanced budget. Too
much emphasis has been laid on the
point that Ihe State of North Carolina
has maintained its credit for the Gen
eral Asembly to deliberately commit
(lie State to such a policy again.
If appropriations are not materially
reduced by the legislature, and few ob
servers believe they will be reduced,
it means simply that the legislature
is going to have to levy some more
taxes on some one, or else raise the
rates on those already taxes. In this
connection lies the only ray of hope
for a short fight over the sales tax;
if the spenders can maintain their
pace it appears almost imposible to
do without the sales levy. The fight
over the sales tax will be, however, not
so much over the tax itself, but over
over the rate. A hard fight will be
made to reduce the levy from the
existing litre per cent to two per cent
There is some likelihood of such a
move being sucessful in the lower
house, but most, observers believe
that, in that event, the Senate would
re-write it up to thro per cent. Which
again would mean further delay while
the difference was ironed out in a
joint conference.
Even, however, if the sales tax is
retained as written in the finance
committe loom: with the new divi
dend tax, the sales tax retained with
the thre per cent levy, all present
exemptions of staple foods removed
and the base broadened to include
sales by restaurants and rental of
hotel rooms, the chain filling station
tax, and the increased franchise taxes:
even then the bill is still $2,000,000
short of the figure attained by the
appropriations bill. Indeed, when the
further highway diversion fund fig
ure of $650,000 is added, as proposed
by the Senate Finance Chairman
Newman, who will again propose it
on the Senate floor, the hill is still
under proposed expenditures by a.
half-million dollars. Nor is further
highway fund diversion easy of ac
complishment. It is not believed that
the legislature will adopt it except as
a. last resort to balance the budget.
The proponents of the Hill liquor
control bill may, when the fighting
grows extremely hot, as it doubtless
will, trot out the bill as a budget bal
ancer extraordinary. It would do it
with ease and leave a goodly surplus.
The Hill bill would, if State liquor
stores were established as they are in
Virginia, yield an estimated minimum
of $7,200,000 in a biennium. Faced
with a $2,000,000 deficit between anti
cipated receipts and expenditures,
proponents of the Hill measure say
the revenue feature of their
pride and joy ought not to be over
looked .
