that is holding back now is Mr..
Henry Ford, and as far as the re-

the regulations asked by the code.
He is paying the wages set out by
the code, and his working hours
are even less than what is asked:
the only thing that seems to be
hanging in his craw is the employ
ment of union labor. No matter
how big a man may be or how
large a business he is running there
is one thing that he must take into

1 am wondering if the majority
of North Carolinians are hearing as
much criticism of the three II
twenty per, cent sales tax as l am
hearing? AS a member of the last
General Assembly I did my best to
defeat the General Sales Tax, be-
cause l was satisfied it would work
a hardship -(as it is now doing), on
the people least able to pay. I am
of the opinion that the General
Sales Tax as nov charged is wholly
unconstitutional because in a ma
jority of the sales the buyer is
charged 10 to 2o%. The writer
made purchases in the City of Raj

TROPICAL STORMS

During the summer months two
terrific tropical storms have struck
the eastern seaboard of this coun-
try and the damage as yet has not
been estimated although it is
known that it will run into mil
lions of dollars. Storms of such
intensity seldom strike North Caro-
lima, but once every generation or
two tremendous damage result from
one or two storms.
Oven in Japan, earthquakes had
a habit of wrecking the country
every few years until japanese en-
gineers discovered a way to con-
struct buildings which could not
be severely damaged by the quakes.
It would seem now that such a plan
should be followed On the eastern
seaboard in the construction Of
buildings and other projects. The
cost would likely be higher, but in
the long run it would be much
cheaper.
So far as protection for human
life is concerned the average chap
who lives in the billy country
where the tropical storms would
quickly wear themselves out Won
ders why on earth anyone would
care to live in such a dangerous
place. He frankly declares that
after he had experienced just one
storm, he would have sense enough
to pack up and head for higher
ground.

BUSINESS STILL OFF

Another slight decline is noted
in the index of business activity
for the week ending August. 18th,
according to figures kept by The
New York Times. The drop was
from S9.9 in the previous week to
which compares with 64.2 a
year ago.
Beginning early in March at a
point around 500, the index of
business activity continued a SEN
sational advance at a rapid pace
until it reached almost 100 in the
middle of July. At that time it
sharply declined to around 90
where it has lowered since.
