AFTER GREENSBORO
DEALERS,
Commissioners Doing Things
There. Figuring How to
Collect Back Taxes.

Dr. b. F. Dixon, the State Auditor,
leaves today for Greensboro, Salisbury
and Charlotte, to advise with County
Commissioners as to the best way of
collecting back taxes due the State by
liquor dealers who have returned only a
small part of their purchases for taxation,
dalucting the tax the distillers have to
pay to the government.
A letter from the commissioners of
Guilford county tells the Auditor :hat
they summoned the Greensboro dealers
to appear before them, with their in
voices bills payable, etc, show what
their actual purchases amounted to. one
of the summoned liquor dealers left town
to avoid appearing before the dread
tribunal with the recent decision of the
Supreme court staring him in the face.
Most of them claimed that they had lost
their invoices and bills, or did not keep
them on file. But there was one who
showed up with his papers. He was adj
mittedly the smallest man of the lot, and
his books showed over $4,000 worth of
stock purchased And this when the av-
erage amounts returned had been about
$400. The four thousand dollar mans
purchases will be taken as basis upon
which to calculate the actual purchases
of the rest
They all admitted that their sales
amounted to from s25 to $40 day
Taking $50 even as the average, that
means SO, 800 a year. with Sundays left
out That of itself gives some idea what
the purchases are.
