TOURIST HOME TAX, DRASTIC
TRUCK LAW BOTH PROPOSED:
WOULD HURT THIS SECTION
John Ewbank, Ex-Legisla-
tor, Calls Attention To
Danger OF Measures

John Ewbank, representative
from this county in the 1891
session of the legislature, recall
ing the truck law which caused
considerable worry and discus
sion until it was declared uncon-
stitutional by the federal courts,
says that a more drastic law IL
being proposed at this session
and it will be so framed as to
seek to avoid defeat through the
courts.
"Any truck law that seeks to
prevent producers from market
ing their produce in other states
and return with commodities
purchased, with an idea of re-
selling in this state, would be a
serious blow to the small farmer
in Western North Carolina" Mr..
Ewbank said today. "He would
not only in practice be shut out
of market for his goods
through retaliatory laws in other
states, but he could not afford
in many cases to carry his goods
to distant markets for disposal
at the low prices prevailing UNI
less he would in some measure
make a small profit on goods
brought back. He can not come
back empty and make the traffic
pay"
Mr.. Ewbank thinks all Western
North Carolina should be awake
to the attempt to enact such a
law. He stated that had this
section been awake to the evil
consequences of such a law it's
enactment could have been pre-
vented at the last session. Mr..
Ewbank says he vigorously OPP
posed the enactment of the law,
but that piedmont and eastern
North Carolina were anxious for
it and got it put over.
Mr.. Ewbank also calls atten-
ton to the pronouncement by
A. J. Maxwell in the report of
the tax commission that added
taxes on tourists homes would be
sought and believes that this pro-
posal should be vigorously
fought. He maintains that the
very short season makes it al
most impossible for boarding
houses and tourist hotels to exist
now under present conditions and
that by added taxes the tourist
business would be discouraged
at time when every effort
should be made to take care of
this trade at a less rather than
an increased cost, and points
out that for every gallon of gaso-
line burned by tourist in West
ern North Carolina the state gets
6 cents taxes. He says this IS
but a small amount in COMPARE
son with the money spent by the
tourists out of which the state
gets directly or indirectly added
revenue. Mr.. Ewbank believes
every chamber of commerce and
every civic club should petition
the representatives of this section
to see to it that no such law or
laws are passed. In Mr.. Ew-
banks opinion these laws would
defeat the very purpose they
have in view in that there would
probably be evasion to the ex-
tent of there not being derived
the revenue anticipated and also
otherwise react against the in
terests of the state. and especi-
ally this section. |

WASHINGTON, Jan. z. (UP)
The nations capital paid i'm
pressive homage last night to the
last Calvin Coolidge as Presi-
dent Hoover led a train-load Of
ex-president's friends-d;gnitar-
les ALTO the funeral in Mass
achusetts.
Never in recent years has so
distinguished party assembled
to attend services for an cx-
president, said veteran White
House attaches who have seen
presidential funerals during the
last two decades.
+ The train left Union station
at shortly after midnight. II
was due to arrive in Northamp-
ton, Mass, at about 10 a. m.
today.
Soon after the final prayer is
spoken the train will return to
Washington. The president should
be back in the White House be-
fore 9 o'clock tonight.
Because of the many pressing
affairs of state in Washington,
the president has set the fastest
schedule possible, consistent with
dignity. Many members of the
party had hoped to attend act
ual interment in the little family
plot at Plymouth, Va, about 100
miles away, but that was con-
sidered impossible if the presi-
dent were to be home Saturday
night.
The presidents party will go
by automobile to Jonathan Ed
wards church. At conclusion of
the services the president will
call upon Mrs. Coolidge at her
home, The Beeches. He then will
return to the train.
The party included Mr.. and
Mrs Hoover! Chief Justice Hugh
es; Secretary of State Stimson;
Secretary of the Navy Adams;
of Commerce Chaplin;
Associate Justice Stone; Law
renee Richey, and Theodore JOS
lin, secretaries to Mr.. Hoover;
Senator David A. Reed, of Penn;
Senator James J. Davis of Pen
nsylvania; Harry S. New; post
master general under Mr.. Cool
idge; Everett Sanders, who was
Mr.. Coolidge's secretary; DR..
Joel r. Boone, White House
physician, and Rudolph Foster,
White House executive clerk and
one of Mr.. Coolidge's closest
friends.
Secret service operatives and
newspapermen make up the rest
of the presidents party. Con-
delegations are travel
ing in three cars attached to the
train.
Official Washington dropped
its usual blase attitude momen-
tarily in expressing honest sad
ness over Mr.. Coolidge's death.
