Raleigh. Poo. 21—State Revenue de
partment officials, looking over their
records yesterday, discovered that in
tdght days North Carolinians had
bought IS.S3t automobile licenses as
against t.V»IS for 23 days in 1931,
Buying was stimulated a year ago
by tile necessity for raising to pay
bond maturities in New York on the
first of the year. $2,033,000 in serials
and $2,192,000 in interest. The De
cember sales began the first of the
month. They resulted in money en

bonds and the State thought it hud

j done well.
The present record is, of course,
helped by the reduced costs of the
license plates. The 1905 Gcnoial As
i sembly cut the tags from 65 cents to
i jo cents a hundred weight and low-
I ored the minimum. The reduction
Thus far has boon little felt because
there are 100.000 more curs on the
highways now than there wen* a year
ago. And the traffic in gasoline has
increased.
Hotter times are reflected in the
100.000 increase in ear ownership ami
v.f course, in the voluntary payment
of the license fees. This year the
Slate has cash a-plenty to meet its
maturities and no borrowing from
the highway fund is necessary. The
combined general and special funds
have a balance of nearly $20,000,000
and the December receipts will carry
it well above that figure.
There is no time extension for the
drivers this year and arrests will be
gin immeditelv after the first of the
year if old license platcsare still on
"the ears. Until the snow yesterday
slowed everybody tip. the revenue of
fices presented tin* usual last day pic
tun* and there are eight full days yet
to go.
Governor Ehringhaus, who called
so fervently on the patriotism of the
automobile owners a year ago. was
pleased this time that they did not
need executive pressure or persuasion.

Candidates Will
Declare Shortly

'a the legislature. Mr. Hancock talks
somewhat its a senatorial candidate,
but behaves as one who secs the dis- |
fercncc between shadow and sub
stance. Mr. Dunnagan has declared j
for the succession to Stacey Wade, '
secretary of State, but the Raleigh
newspaper man’s change of residence
in order to make him morcc onsis
tent as a candidate from the West,
seems to leave some doubt ns to his
voing through with what he started.
Mr. Lumpkin has been teaming with .
Dr. Ralph W. McDonald one full
year and more, but neither gentle
man seems to relish the other as run
ning mate. It isn’t that they don’t
work well; they do; but they do be
ware of entangling alliances.
Rut for the incredible lure which
public office holds for the average
man. Mr. Do Dowell’s consideration of
a State position astounds. Major
Durham will prove a most difficult
man to beat. He lias walked off
with the nomination every time he
.ought it and he has had to take on i
big ones. Mr. Dowell has big popu- j
iarily by reason of bis fight on the j
sales tax. but before that campaign j

Senator Overman. And Mr. Dowell
beat Mr. Overman, who had lived and
married in Raleigh. Senator Over
man was Governor Vance’s secretary
and married Chief Justice X/crrimon’s
daughter, the chief justice having
been United States senator until I
Vance heat him.
The necessity for a declaration soon I
is patent and Mr, Dowell is cogitating ■
upon his course. Mr. Lumpkin is I
likewise. Congressman Hancock is i
due a statement soon. And early in j
the year it will be determined wheth- j
or Dr. McDonald really has a big fol- |
lowing or whether lie merely has |
frightened the old boys by doing so I

Politicians Fear
Revolt On Taxes
(Continued from Page One )
comparatively few.
Tariff taxation is a load on every
one. but not many realize that they
are helping to carry it.
Sales levies not only hurt but great
numbers know what is hurting them.
TAXES BECOMING
NOTICEABLE
To be sure, sales taxation, as yet, is
mainly a. state, not a federal, nieth
of raising government money.
On a few commodities the buyer
does, indeed, pay an impost 1o Uncle
Sam. Such a collection is represent
ed by the revenue stamp on a pack
age of cigaretes, for example. How
ever. the consumer is accustomed 1.0
I hat. extra charge and thinks noth
ing about it. But lie is quite await*
of it if his home state requires him to
folk out an additional copper or two
nor package; that's noticeable to him.
1 It irriates him also. It irriates him
t still worse to be mulcted for his pur
-1 chases, say. of groceries. He believes
that a tax on a luxury, like cigarets,
may be justifiable, but not a tax on
life’s absolute necessities.
That’s the report, anyway, which
returning legislators bring in from
the “hinterland.”
STATES ANNOY MOST
.Experienced politicians agree that,
in the course of time, the public
doubtless will become accustomed to
general sales levies and submit to
them as indifferently as it submits
now to the federal cigaret tax.
In the course of time! No New
Dealer dares to hope that the public
will have arrived at this acquiescent
frame of mind between now and next
November —with its election day.
It is true that the most annoying
forms of sales taxation thus far have
been of state creation. Uncle Sam
isn’t responsible for the system which
en.lls for the making of change for a
fivc-eent drink, illustratively, inclu
sive of a handful of one or two-mill
tokens.
[But. national politicians do not be
lieve that the average citizen will di.s
tinguish between the state and fed
eral governments. Their impression Is
that he will lump all taxation to
gether and cast his ballot according
ly, alike for federal, state and still
more local tickets.
Ehringhaus Will Decide
About An Extra Session
(Continued from Page One.)
appeal is made.
When the governor comes back from
his vacation, be probably will make
some statement as to bis proposes,
Put; dealings with Washington con
vince him that the national legisla
ture needs to meet long before his
does. And it may require months in
Washington cut the pattern by which
North Carolina is to legislate. The
unfinished character of the social se
curity legislation leaves Mr. Ehring
haus without knowledge as to how
he would advise a legislative body if
he had one here. And he is remoter
than ever from such a session.
Tip may study the. State Constitu
tion 'and the national security act‘to
get a better knowledge of what North
Carolina could do under the 1935 leg
islation which he wrote. And it is
known here that Washington is un
certain as to the power of North
Carolina to avail itself of the congres
sional act of 1935. It, may require an
amendment to the State Constitution.
In that event a special session might
be summoned here.
Representative McDonald, who has
chosen for himself the modest task
of destroying the Ehringhaus admin
istration, its predecessor the Gardner
regime, and all the alliances of both
executives, has been one of the strong
est proponents of the special session.
Governor Ehringnaus looks very phil
osophically at xjv. McDonald. The
Forsyth philosopher who "advocates
■’ *3l >.000.000 school fund, old ago pen
sions and unemployment insurance,
couples these philanthropies with re
peal of the general sales tax. Gover
nor EhrVigViaus has had to eat a very
delectable dish of crow on that sales
tax issue. “I loathe the sales tax,”
Ihe Governor said in 1935, but be
loathes it less as it helps to keep his
administration going. Somewhat sen
sitive, he imagines that what will be
said of Dr. McDonald, should that
personable young man be elected and
forced to work without the $10,000,-
000 which the sales tax may yield,
will be of such character as to make
the meanest assault on Ehringhaus
seem the superlative in praise by com
parison .
Certainly, Governor Ehringhaus is
rot going to call his legislature here
just to get even with Dr. McDonald,
nor to please him, if lie really desires
to come hack here and lose several
weeks from his campaign.
There is every reason to believe that
*be Welsh and Scottish mountains
were at one time as high as the Alps
of today.
