North Carolina Commission Seeks
New Tax System.

The report which the North Carolina
Special Tax Commission recently made
to Gov. Angus Mclean and the
North Carolina Legislature, following
two-year study of the tax problems
of the State, recommends adoption of
constitutional amendment permitting
the installation of system of general
classification of property for taxation.
Action such as that recommended by
the North Carolina Tax Commission
has for a number of years been urged
by the National Association of Real
Estate Boards as the first step in
undermining State tax systems so as to
bring about a more equitable incidence
of taxation.
Constitutional amendments specifically
following the State Legislatures to
classify property for taxation are
already in effect in some States, notably:
Virginia and Kansas.

Sees City Surveys as Big Aid.

The National Association of Real

local boards as an invaluable aid in
preventing an overbuilt market, and

The association regards the survey as
the only method yet devised to give to
the realtor an inventory of his market.

IT'S a cinch that the golf course OF
the Indian Spring Club will be no
toy layout when Horton Smith and
i Leo Diegel hook up next Tuesday
afternoon against the two mas
todonic hitters of local golfdom-J.
Monro Hunter of Indian Spring and
Glenn Spencer OF Baltimore. Plans
we're in the making today to stretch
the course out to its maximum length
of 6,577 yards in order that all the best S;
golf in the quartet Of professionals Will
have to be called into play if they would
approximate par.
Arthur B. Thorn, president OF the
Middle Atlantic Professional Golfers
Association, which Is sponsoring the
exhibition, declared today it Is the wish
of the organization that the course be
stretched out to its maximum length in
order that the public may be assured
of real test Of the game.
Not that Indian Spring under any
conditions is not good test. but Thorn
explained that all four of the players
in the exhibition match are drivers OF
exceptional length. and that with the
fast course conditions which probably
will prevail it will be far more interest
ing If the hardest layout Is put in play.
Course to Be Stretched.
Normally the Indian Spring course
measures about $500 yards-that is,
from the center of the middle tees to
the middle of the putting green's But
Dick Watson, Indian Springs talented
greenkeeper, can stretch the course tn
6.577 yards by the simple expedient OF
placing the markers in the middle OF
the rear tees and putting the cups to-
ward the back edge of the green's. And
then, says Dick. let the long hitters
blast away with all their heavy guns.
One interesting angle Of the match
is the possibility that the course record
of Sc, held by j. Monro Hunter. may
be in jeopardy when Diegel and Smith
unlimber their artillery. or course, the
winning or losing of the match means
nothing to- either team, for the contest
simply is an exhibition. But when four
such players are dropped into contest
of skill, it does not matter whether any
thing hinges on the match. The natural
instinct is to win, and all will try to
do Just that. Personally, we lean to the
on top, for Diegel has the annoying
habit of breaking out In rash Of bird
les when he Is pressed. But then so has
Monro Hunter. It will be recalled that
the Indian Spring giant was the whole
show in the Compston- Boomer match
of last year when he and George Diff
fenbaugh played the famed British pair
to tie. On that occasion Hunter shot
a So, and was helped on one hole by
his diminutive partner.
Starting play late in the Spring. Hun
ter only recently has found his game.
He has been playing with drivers for
several months and now believes he
has found one to his liking. This one
has "tin. shaft" as he calls the steel
shaft. He claims ordinary hickory shafts
have too much torsion for that ire
mendous swing of his. The results he
gets seem to prove this. but still he
claims he can hit the ball 20 yards
farther with good hickory SHAFT. Inc
trick Is to get q good one.
Hunter Plans Attack.
Hunter has worked out a plan Of at
tack for the match, and will suggest

that Spencer drive first for the local
combination. This strategy should give
Hunter, with his intimate knowledge OF
the course, the advantage, for he can
play his tee shot in a manner that de-
ponds on what his partner does.
The match is certain to be fine con-
test and 1t Is by no means sure that
the colors Of Diegel and Smith will not
be bit droopy after they have dashed
shots with Hunter and Spencer. The
only fly in the ointment there Is that
Diegel has acquired the winning habit
in Maryland, knows Indian Spring like
a book and has persistent fellow
named Horton Smith as his partner.
Anyhow, 1t will be worth two bucks
of any mans money, not only to see the
