Organized Reserves

With the active duty training OF
District Reserve officers now in full
swing, local reservists will be inter-
eSted to learn to what extent the re-
duction process. that has been applied
to virtually every activity of the Fed
eral Government, will affect their &C
tive duty pay and allowances while at
tending the camps this Summer
While on active duty, Reserve officers
will receive the same pay and allow
ances as officers of the Regular Army
who have the same grade and length
of service In addition to their base
pay, the reservists will receive an al
loWance for subsistence and an allow
ance for rental. the amount of which
depends upon whether the officer has
or has not dependents. In view OF the
economy act, Reserve officers on active
duty for less than one month will not
be furloughed, but their pay will be re-
duced GA per cent. In the pay schedule
Of Reserve officers, given below, OF the
different grades for 14-day period of
active duty. both with and without de-
pendents, this 8is per cent reduction
should be deducted.
The combined pay and allowances
for the several grades without the 8l3
per cent reduction follow: Second
lieutenant, $3.50 with or without de-
pendents: first lieutenant. $l04.85 with
out dependents and S12264 with de-
pendents; captain. $l2973 without de-
pendents and s14746 with dependents
major. $l5307 without dependents and
s18854 with dependents; lieutenant
colonel, sl81.84 without dependents and
S2l7.3l with dependents. and colonel
s20l.29 without dependents and $228.36
with dependents.
In addition to the above amounts
less the 8ia per cent reduction, lon
gevity pay Of per cent Of the base
pay Of an officers grade will be added
for each three years OF service. In
computing longevity pay. all active
service in the Army, Navy, Marine
Corps, Coast Guard, Coast and Geodetic
Survey and National Guard will count
as full time. Service in the Reserve
Corps will count as full time for Ill
periods while on active duty. and hall
time for all other periods during which
the officer has held q Reserve CON-
, mission.
Under the new War Department
ruling, the requirement concerning
active duty training refers to promo
! tion, and not to obtaining a certificate

now obtain his certificate of capacity
for promotion to the grade Of first
lieutenant rs soon as he has completed
the required subcourses or passed the
necessary examinations. irrespective OF
whether he has had active duty train

motion. however. until he has had at
least one 14-day period of active duty.

When a debtors finances have

when his deficit has been grow

year to year, his creditor has the
right to say something about

Raleigh to see that their contri-
buttons to. the cost of govern
ment are kept as low as possible.
Opposition to a sales tax prom
ises to be even more bitter than
it was two years ago, because,
since the 1881 legislature ad-
journed, the federal government
has imposed sales taxes on many
commodities and services in COM
mon use and so has pre-empted
d field which formerly lay open
to the state. 1t looks as if North
Carolina will have to have some
sort Of sales tax, in order to save
itself from bankruptcy, but the
reasonable assumption is that it
cannot reap as large revenues
from this source as it could
raise if the federal government
had not stepped in ahead of it.
Certainly a state levy upon soft
drinks, and cosmetics, and ad-
mission tickets, and automobiles,
and electric current. and tires.
will be resisted more vigorously
than would be the case if these
and other commodities and SER
vices did not already bear a fed
eral tax.
In the face Of the difficulty Of
-raising1 all the needed money
through sales tax, it is the ex-
treme of folly to give up the
more than S4,000,000 Of revenue
| that the state is now receiving
for it's schools from the 15-cent
levy on real estate. The plan to
remove that levy should be aban-
doned; the sooner the Democrat
ic leaders realize that, the bet
ter. True, the Democrats de-
cIared for the plan in their par
| ty platform, but the present
emergency justifies reconsldera-
ton. The situation is not as
f0reseen when the platform was
adopted /; first, the deficit is larg
er than it was expected TO be
(Which means that the amount
Of money that has to be raised
through taxation is larger than
was expected) and, second, the
imposition Of sales levies by the
federal government has reduced
the potential revenue the state
can reasonably hope to obtain
from that source.
Influence in the direction Of
sanity may yet be exerted, from
a powerful quarter, upon the
politicians. We cherish the
hope that the banking element
will make itself heard, in no un-
certain terms, against the sur
render by the state of its pres
ent income from the tax on land.
The banks have big stake in
the North Carolina state govern
ment, for the state has borrowed
many millions of dollars from
them. It stands to them in the
