ering in Raleight last nigh -twere to
the effect that the meeting of the

mittee in the State Capitol building
tonight at o'clock will be largely
devoted to routine matters
Apparently, it will be short ses-
sion to determine time and place
for the state convention and the
time for precinct and county con-
ventions. While, theoretically. the
place of the State convention vii
be decided upon in the meeting to-
night. there is little likelihood that
Raleigh will have any competition
for the honor of entertaining the
Democratic hosts.
Among the early arrivals last
night were national commetteemen
A. w. Mclean, and Thomas D. War

Lieutenant Governor o. Max Gar

likely that Robert N. Page and

NOn-Residcnts Liable to State In.
come Tax.

COsnO lax
Washington, March Right of
the States to impose income taxes
on non-residents, provided they are
in harmony wit hthose imposed OIL
residents, was upheld and defined
today by the Supreme Court in two
decisions:
In a case from Oklahoma, the
court held that state unquestion-
ably has authority to levy income
taxes against non-residents on in
comes derived from property with
in the state.
In New York case, however, the
court declared that such taxes
against non-residents must not be
discriminatory.
The Oklahoma income tax law
was sustained and the New York
law was declared void in so far as
it denies to non-residents exemp-
tions which are given New York cit
izens. Both opinions were given by
Justice Pitney, with Justice Mercy
nolds dissenting in the New York
case. In both suits were involved
the exemptions. similar to the Fed
eral income tax law, provided for
married and single persons.
Distinction between the Oklaho-
ma and New York laws, it appears
| was that the Oklahoma law gives
non-residents and citizens the same
exemptions, while the New York
law denies to non residents exemp
tions granted - ~wn citizens.

trueasurer. The names of these
gentlemen at the head of the organ
ization is a guarantee of success.
Mr.. Eagles was reluctantly cnrI-
PEELED to accept. He stoutIy refus-
ed at first, but was at last preTa 4
ed upon. He stated, however, that
the fair must prove a success, for
good deal of money would eli he-
be made or LOST in the four days
of the fair, and that Wilson county
must show the world what it could
do.
A foil call for stock secured $1O,-

serve:
Washington; March For North
Carolinas Big Four to San Fran
cisco:
Senator F. NJ. Simmons and Mrs.
Palmer Jerman, of Raleigh, from
the West.
Senator Lee S. Overman and Rep
resentative Clyde r. Hoey, of Shell
by, from the West.
This ticket was started in the Of
flee of one of the Tar Heel members
today vecause he believes it will be
popular when the state convention
meets to elect delegates to the Dem
acratIc national convention.
1t is recognition for the women
and recognition which some panty
leaders here believe is due Repre-
sentative Hoey for his sacrifice in
getting out of the way of a Meek
lenburg candidate for Congress.
Both the Senators will probably
be chosen, it being a well-establish-
ed custom to name them at the
head of the usual four delegates at
large from the State oftimes called
the States Big Four.
Mrs. Jerman would admirably fill
/ the bill. The suggestion of her
name came from an anti-suffragist,
but one who believes the women
are going to be voting in Month
| Carolina in November, or may be
| sooner. She has been active in the
| suffrage campaigns in the State, is
olina Equal Suffrage Association
| and generally credited with possess
ing as fine political acumen as any
| woman in North Carolina.
Mr.. Hoeys colleagues, accepting
his statement that he is retiring at
the end of Judge Webbs term rath-
er than endanger the partys chances
in Mecklenburg, are talking about
keeping him in public life. The i'm
preston he has made in Congress is
as good as any new member ever
makes. if not a trifle better. 1t
is certainly many times better than
the impression of lot of new mem
bers make.
There is hardly any noticeable
changes here in the sentiment re-
!. garding an unrestricted delegation
One of the most interesting things
the political writer's here have run
across has been the Henry Page
defense of Hoover clipped from a
Raleigh paper. 1t has been printed
:. all over the country, and in some
papers it was carried with stream
, er headlines.
Mr.. Page himself was introduced
10 many readers in different parts
Of the country as a lifelong Demo
crat, a brother of Walter Hines
Page, ambassador to England; a
brother of Robert N. Page, many
years a member of Congress, and
now a candidate for Governor Of
North Carolina, and brother OF
Frank Page, highway commissioner
of North Carolina, appointed by :
Democratic Governor.
