1t is therefore ordered by the

600, 900 a year is being derived
from the sales tax.
But the real estate boards are
not the only ones favoring the re-
tention of the sales tax as an
emergency measure. The Eastern
Carolina Chamber of Commerce
has come out strongly for the
sales tax, as has the North Caro-
lima Grange, statewide farm or
ganization. While the North Car
Dina Education association has
not come out publicly for the
sales tax as yet, it is known that
it. the $4,000 teachers in its MEM
bership and the Parent-Teacher
associations over the state are
working almost solidly for the re-
tention of the sales tax, since
they are convinced that there is
no possibility of getting any IN
crease in the state appropriation
for schools, probably not as much
as they are getting at present, un-
less the sales tax is retained.
1t is agreed, however, that the
more militant merchants in the
state who are opposed to the sales
tax, especially those backing LII
cas- and Dowell, are not going 10
let up in their fight against 1t ana
that the sales tax is going TO De

eral assembly.

tomobile license tags and diver
sion of highway revenues to other
objects. 1t is agreed that the SEN
timent in favor of cheaper license
tags has been gaining ground all
over the state and that a major
ity of the automobile and truck
owners are going to demand a
substantial reduction in these
taxes in spite of the claims by
the highway forces that all this
money is needed for highway debt
service, maintenance and con-
struction. The advocates of low
or automobile license taxes are
already maintaining that if the
state will stop trying to bleed the
automobile owners, who pay ali
these taxes, and stop divertlng
highway funds to other uses the
1888 general assembly ordered
the diversion of 81, 100000 year
in highway funds to the general
fund-that auto licenses can be
lowered and the state still have
plenty of revenue left for high
way purposes, including new con-
struction.
So while the primary is over,
the contests over these questions
are expected to get hotter until
the general assembly meets.

FIGHTS BEGUN.
Major Contests, to Reach
Peak in Assembly Are
Just Starting
By J. C. Baskerville
The Times-News Bureau
c. Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, June 5.-Although
the primary is over and the per-
sonnet of the next general assem-
bIv that meets in January, 1898,
now fairly well defined, the ma
Tor contests that will reach their
peak during the next assembly
are only just starting, it is agreed
here. Foremost of these, accord
ing to present indications, is the
contest over the sales tax. Next
in Importance or at least in con-
troversy, will be the fight over
highway revenue, whether or not
the tax on automobiles will be re-
duced and whether any of the
highway revenue will be diverted
TO other uses. Another bitter con-
test is expected over the state
school system and school funds,
with a concerted effort sure to be
made to enlarge the appropriation
for schools so that the salaries OF
teachers, principals and superin-
tendents can be increased.
1t is expected that from now
until the general assembly meets
the fight that has been carried on
against the sales tax by Willard
Dowell, secretary of the North
Carolina Merchants association,
and John Paul Leonard, secretary
of the North Carolina Fair Tax
association, will be pushed with
even greater intensity. In this
way they will be assisted, as IN
the past, by the State Federation
Of Labor and some of the railway
labor organizations. Their objec-
tive will be to build up as much
public sentiment as possible
against the sales tax before the
general assembly meets and to
pledge as many of the unpledged
nominees as possible before they
come to Raleigh in January. .
Those favoring the retention OF
the sales tax as temporary
emergency revenue measure are
also expected to put up a deter
mined campaign for its retention
Already the North Carolina Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards has
taken a determined position IA
voring the retention of the tax
on the grounds that if it is not
retained until the present emery
ency is passed, that the amount
now raised by the sales tax will
have to be raised from tax on
property, and this will increase the
taxes on farms, homes and other
property. 1t was shown this past
week by figures issued by the de-
partment of revenue here, that or
the basis of 1888 valuations, an
average statewide property tax
of 76.4 cents per 500 of valua
tons would have to be levied 70

as much as 100000 acres of large

as a link TO hold the world to-
