They also realized that if they contested the tax in the courts it would take about two years to get a final decision—and that it would probably /be against them and in f/vor of the State. It was also pointed out that they would be placed in a position of obstruct ing the State government and be likely to losem uch public sympathy for thoir cause. As a result, it was decided best for all concerned to sit tight for the time being and not try to contest the tax in court. There were some memlbers of the board of directors, just as there are hundreds and probably thousands of merchants, who would like to see an out-and-out anti-sales tax ticket for governor and lieutenant governor in the Democratic gubernatorial cam paign next spring and who would sup port such a ticket. But the wiser and more experienced heads both among the merchants and in other circles, are inclined to agree that it would be vrey difficult to nominate and elect an anti-sales tax ticket over such strong candidates already in the race as Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, Lieute nant Governor A. H. (Sandy) Graham and others. They are much more in clined to wait and see if one of the four candidates already in the race for governor will not take some stand for a reduction in the sales tax rate and for its gradual replacement with other taxes and them support this candidate, rather than try to put an anti.sales tax ticket into the field Reports are current that one of the present candidates for governor may issue a statement very soon outlin ing a plan for removing the sales tax from basic food articles and prclbably for reducing the rate. Tbe reason for the actren taken by the directors of the State Merchants Association goes back to this recent General Assembly, when faced either witb a continuation of the sales tax or the many new taxes proposed in the so-called McDonald - Lumpkin plan, a large number of the larger merchants. Including the Belk and Efird chains of stores, decided they would much rather keep the sales tax For the McDonald-Lumpkin plan would have put the equivalent of a 50 cents State property taxes on all merchants, based on their buildings, stocks and fixtures. They would also have had to pay this tax themselves and could not have passed it along t ( , their customers as easily as they do the sales tax As a result, it did not take the larger merchants and store chains long to decide that ths sales tax was the lesser of two evils and to use their influence against the McDonald-Lumpkin proposals and for a retention of the sales tax. 3ome of the smaller merchants did not like this, but since the Ibigger merchants put up the greater part of the money for the support of the North Caro lina Merchants Association and for its lobbying activities, the little fel lows could not afford to kick very much or very hard. Accordingly, vir tually all of the McDonald-Lumpkin plan was defeated and the sales tax was re-enacted nad enlarged to apply to basic food purchases as well as all others. This was one reason—and probably the principal one—why the directors of ihe merchants association decided not to fight the sales tax so vigor, ously, at the present time, since they know that if it is removed or dis placed, other taxes just as unplea sant and probably much more bur densome on them directly, will have to be levied in its place. For it is now conceded that it would be impossible to operate the State government with out the sales tax or a tax that would yield just as much. Gaston Has First Paralysis Patient (Continued from Page One.) made a total of 46, but the center continued in the east central section of the State, where the disease is regarded as epidemic in Wake and Johnston counties.
