ICE SOLD FROM
WAGONS UNTAXABLE
The Times-News Bureau

Sir Walter Hotel
RALEIGH, Sept. 4.-Ice sold
direct to consumers by manufac-
turerS from wagons or trucks
owned and operated by them, is
not subject TO the 3 per cent gen.
eral sales tax. according to rul-
ing just issued by the sales tax
division of the department of
revenue and signed by both Di-
rector Harry Mcmillan and Com
missioner of Revenue A. J. Max
well.
Several days ago the sales tax
division issued a ruling that sales
made from wagons, even though
operated by manufacturers. were
retail sales and that hence the sale
of ice from ice wagons and trucks
would be subject to the sales tax.
That made the ice men get hot.
They started building fires under
the sales tax division in an effort
to thaw it out, insisting that sale
of ice direct by the manufacturer
to the consumer was specifically
exempted from the sales tax un-
der Section 404, subsection 8 of
the Emergency Revenue Act. So
a new ruling was Forthcoming to-
dav from the sales tax division to
the effect that 'the sale of ice by
q manufacturer, selling ice manu-
featured by such seller from wag-
.ons, trucks or other vehicles,
would not constitute the manu-
facurer selling in such a way d
merchant in the ordinary mean
ing of the term, and such sales,
made by the ice manufacturers,
would not be liable to the sales
tax by reason of the exemption
contained in Section 404, subSec-
ton 9, of the Emergency Revenue
Act"
The announcement was alSc
made that sales of products OF
farms. forests and mines, wher
made by the producer from wag,
ons, trucks or other vehicles
would not constitute making the
producer making such sales a mer,
chant, in the ordinary meaning Of
the term. Hence such sales, wher
! made direct by the producer;
! from their wagons or trucks, vii
not be subject to the sales tax.

The statement issued by Com
missioner Maxwell with regard to
these figures, is es follows:
"The August revenue collec-
tions for general and highway
funds are reasonably satisfac-
tory. General fund collections
require some explanatory COM
ment. There is an important
shortage in August collections of
corporation franchise taxes as
compared with August of last
year. This is on account Of de-
lay in corporation reports, due
to the fact that this is reassess-
ment year and does not repre-
sent an actual shrinkage in reve-
nue.. Eliminating this temporary
shortage, there is an average in
crease in general fund collec-
tions, without including the new
sales tax revenue.
There are many factors which
make the first months collection
of sales tax substantially less
than will be realized from it in
subsequent months. Payment of
the tax was made in August by
11,707 merchants, based on July
sales. Time sales made in July
will be included in subsequent
months a sthey are paid. There

School Buses
Being Repaired
The Timcs-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH. Sept. 4.-The B..
! 900 or more school buses in the
state are rapidly being repaired,
reconditioned and inspected -
that when they are put into serv-
ice again this fall they will be
safer than they have been in sew
eral years. according to c. F,
Gaddy. in charge of transporta-
ton for the State school commits
sion. All of the buses already in
use have been repaired and in
spected and most of the others
will have been by the time the
rest of the schools open. Even the
busSeS used in the counties having
the contract system, under which
the buses are owned by private
individuals who haul the school
children under a contract, are be-
ing thoroughly repaired and in
spected. Gaddy said.
The new school law requires
that all school buses shall be in
spected at least once a month, and
an effort is now being made to
get an agreement with the state
highway and public works COM
mission whereby it will designate
one or more of its engineers or
mechanics in every county to
make this monthly inspection of
school buses, Gaddy said. 1t is
believed such a plan will be more
satisfactory rather than have any
of the mechanics of school gar
ages do the inspecting. For if the
inspecting were done by the
mechanics who are supposed to
maintain the trucks. they would
in a sense be inspecting their own
work. But if the inspecting is
done by highway department
mechanics or engineers. it will be
more thorough and impersonal, it
is believed.
The school BUSES in ten coun-
ties are being reconditioned in
state highway commission equip
ment garages. These are counties
that DO not nave any county
school equipment garages, but in
which the highway department
maintains garages. They are as
follows: Chowan. Onslow, Per-
quimans. Hoke, Scotland, Jackson,
Henderson, Polk, Rowan and
Hyde.
The counties having the con-
tract system for hauling school
children. under which the buses
are owned by private individuals
or firms. who are paid so much
per child for hauling them, are
Burke, Cumberland. Allegheny,
Cherokee. Clay, Watauga, Macon,
Tyrrell. AShe and Wilkes.

RALEIGH. Sept. Ar. Bruce
Etheridge, new director of Tho
Department Of Conservation anc
! Development who took over the
active direction of it Saturday, il
| busily at work digging into piles
of correspondence and getting HI;
bearings. This is not expected to
take very long, however, SINCE
Director Etheridge was member
/ of the board of conservation 1oi
eight wears before his appoint
ment as director of the depart
ment. thus making him very IA
miliar with the workings OF tht
entire department and with mos'
of its personnel.
When asked if he contemplated
making any changes in the per-
sonnet of the department or IN It's
plan of organization, Director
Etheridge said:
81 am not planning on making
any changes in the department
any time soon. since for the time
being | want to devote all my
time to a thorough study of the
work being done by the various
divisions. Later on it may be
found advisable to make a few
changes here and there and l am
not saying there will not be any
changes But for the time being |
intend to let things stay as they
are so as to see how things are
running. l am not the sort that
believes in tearing up watch or
piece of machinery that is already
running smoothly, just for the
fun of it"
Director Etheridge admitted he
has had plenty of letters from
scores of job seekers wanting JOBS
in the department, but intimated
that most of these are going to be
doomed to disappointment.
In fact, no changes in the per-
sonnet of the department are ex-
pected until after the board Of
conservation holds its first meet
ing. The new members of the
board were appointed by Cover
nor J. c. B. Ehringhaus several
weeks ago, but no meeting is ex-
pected to be held until the gov
ernor returns here within the next
week or so. Since the governor is
chairman of the board, it is ex-
pected that he will call the meet
ing.

Reynolds Plans
Radio Talks in
Favor Of Repeal
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hot~i

RALEIGH, Sept. 4.-Senator
Robert R. Reynolds is planning
to make at least two radio
speeches, probably over a state
wide radio hook-up, advocating
repeal of the 18th amendment,
when the campaign gets under
way this fall, it was learned here
yesterday. Senator Reynolds has
advised several friends here that
he will make these speeches un-
less something very unusual de-
velops in Washington to detain
him there.
Friends of Senator Reynolds
who have seen him since his re-
turn to Washington after having
spent almost the entire month of
August in Hot Springs, Ark, say
he has been greatly benefited
and that he looks and feels much
better. While in HcE Springs,
Senator Reynolds drank gallon
of mineral water every day, took
the mineral baths regularly and
took regular outdoor exercise
every day, consisting principally
of golf. AS a result, he is in
better health than he has been
in many months, his friends say.
There is a possibility that in
addition to making the two state
wide radio speeches in the state
this fall, Senator Reynolds may
also find it possible to make one
or two other speeches in strategic
centers during the campaign.
But a decision as to any other
speeches will have to wait OIL de-
velopments. 1t is known, of
course, that Senator Reynolds is
greatly interested in the repeal
election, since he was nominated
and elected to the senate largely
upon repeal platform. AS a
result, he intends to take an &C
tive part in the campaign for re-
peal. prior to the election of No
vember 7, despite the fact that
Senator J. w. Bailey and others
Of the Democratic leaders in the
state are playing a hands off
role in the campaign this fall.

CLYDE HOEY, REPEAL
FOE, TO STUMP N. c.
Continued from page one)

North Cardinals voicing her own
sentiments uninfluenced by out
side forces and without regard to
the action of other states.
"The question of repeal is not
properly a party question. In 1928
! took the position that it was no
part of the business of the church
to undertake to direct its men,
bers how to vote for President. l
now take the position that it is no
part of the function of the party
to tell its members how to vote
on the question of repeating the
18th Amendment.
II readily concede the good
faith and patriotism of those who
are advocating repeal in North
Carolina, but l cannot follow
their logic. They take the posi-
ton that repeal Of the prohibi-
ton laws will advance the cause
of temperance.
"The repeal advocates make
two stock arguments: (D That
prohibition is a failure and that
it has produced bootlegging, rae
keteering and a general crime
wave; (2) that immense revenue
can be raised from the manufac-
ture and sale of liquor and thus
lower taxes. Neither of these ar
guments will stand up under an
alysis. The prohibition law is the
same sort of failure that the law
against stealing and murder is
failure. The narcotic law is vio-
lated constantly and there is
widespread bootlegging of dope
by well organized gangs in all the
cities, but nobody suggests re-
pealing the law on this account.
We have had more murders dur
ing the past five years than dur
ing any former period, but it
would be folly to argue that the
law against murder should be re-
pealed because it is being violat-
ed. and that in order to stop kill
ing every person should be sup
piled with pistol. 1t is pure fol-
ly to charge prohibition with the
crime wave. The manufacture
and sale of liquor would raise
some revenue. but liquor has
never yet lowered taxes.
But we are told that if the
amendment is repealed, North
Carolina can continue under her
dry laws. This is a complete an
swer to all the arguments in IA
vor of repeal. if they are sincere
in wanting North Carolina to con-
tinue dry. Why? Because if pro-
hibition has been the curse they
say 1t has, we would still have the
evils of it here in North Carolina
and the state would receive no
benefit from tax money on liquor
to help defray the expenses of the
state government.
II am unwilling to share re-
sponsibility for the return of
liquor under the protection and
sponsorship of law. If we are to
have liquor l believe it is less
harmful when it hides in the
woods, lodges through back al
leys and is kept in secret places,
than when it stalks shamelessly
up and down main street and
openly bids for patrons"

der The act of 22.008 merchants,
and several thousand more will
yet be added to this list. All of
those whose tax is less than SO
per month are only required to
make quarterly reports.
"The departmental estimate is
that final collections on July
sales will approximate S550,00O
and that this amount will be
heavily increased for other trad
ing months to approximate the
total annual estimate of SS,OOO,-
900 a year.
"The total registration under
the act indicates a very satisfac-
tory activity on the part of the
enlarged field organization"

RALEIGH. Sept. 4.-State rev.
enue collections in August Tor
The General fund alone amounted
TO s3,O45,736 as compared with
collections in August, 1882, OF
s1 q77,S24. This total, of course,
;ncIndes the first months collec-
tion of revenue from the per
cont sales tax which amounted
to S358,579. The department OF
revenue believes that the total
collections from the sales tax for
the first month of its operation,
will amount to fully S550,OOO
when the tax has been paid on
all charge sales as well as on
cash sales, and when these COM
panies that have been granted
extensions. make their sales tax
payments. :,
The beer tax brought in a total
of $4,000 during August, bring
ing the total revenue from beer
for July and August to $78,999.
An appreciate increase in rev.
enue from almost all sources,
with the exception of collections
from the franchise tax, are
shown in the August collections
as compared with those in
August, 1882. This apparent de-
crease in revenue from the fran
chise tax, however, is purely tenn
porary and not real, according
to Commissioner of Revenue A.
J. Maxwell, VINO explains that
this is reassessment year, caus-
ing a delay in getting reports
from corporations that pay this
tax, thus throwing the payments
lnter than otherwise would be
the case.
Collections from the gasoline
and motor vehicle taxes are also
showing substantial increase
over August of last year, with a
total of $1,345, $50 collected this
past month as compared with
S1,258,5O4 collected in August a
year ago. Total collections from
the gasoline and motor vehicle
taxes for July and August. the
first two months of this new
fiscal year, amount to $685.
955 as compared with collections
of $2,517,304 for the same two
months a year ago. All of this
money goes into the highway
fund for the maintenance of the
highways and prisons.
The revenue collections for
general fund purposes, which are
used to pay the cost of operating
the state government and the
public schools from the various
classifications for this August
and for August, 1882, are as fol-
1ou-c.
