IS ASSEMBLY
FIGHT WILL Be
ON ROAD Coin
One of Bitterest Battles To
Be Over Diversion of
Highway Fund
Bv ]. c. BASKERVILL
The Times News Burcnu
Sir Waiter Hotel

RALEIGH, April 1C.-One of
the biggest fights in the 1888
general assembly, if not the bit
terest of all, is expected to CEN
ter around what disposition will
be made of the surplus in the
highway fund resulting from col
lections from the gasoline and IL
cense taxes, according to rumb-
lings heard here and whether or
not portion of the highway
fund shall be diverted each year
to other uses. For with the gaso-
line tax and the automobile IL
cense tax the only taxes now
levied by the state that are
bringing in as much or more than
the amounts estimated, indica-
tions are that there will be a
surplus of not less than $6,0O0,-
600 in the highway fund by the
time the next general assembly
meets. The surplus in the high
way fund at the present time is
approximately S3,500,000 and in
dicationS are that this amount is
going to be increased at least
100000 a year for this and
next year, so that not less than
$4,000, 900 will be left in it, even
after $1,000,000 a year is divert
ed into the general fund, as the
1888 general assembly directed.
Collections from the gasoline
tax, license tag and sale of titles
/ to date amount to $17,791, 039,
according to figures Just obtained
from the department of revenue,
or almost 100000 in excess of
the total appropriation for the
state highway and public works
commission of only $16,093, 1873.
There is every reason to believe
that gasoline and license tax col
lections will amount to more than
20,000,000 by the end of the
present fiscal year on June 80.
These facts are Just becoming
generally known, but will be thor
oughly known by the time the
| 1888 general assembly n"Cts
next January. Already the varl-
Gus "blocs" and groups are max
J ing plans to capture this highway
surplus and divert it to other than
highway purposes. This is espe-
cially true since the 1888 general
assembly drove the entering
wedge by diverting $1,0OO,OOC
from the highway to the general
! fund.
The anti-sales tax forces are
already beginning to advocate the
diversion of this surplus into the
general fund as a substitute fol
the 8 per cent general sales tax
! despite the fact that this surplus
would make up for the loss OF
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1934-04-10

the sales tax for only one year.
The school forces and school
teachers want the sales tax re-
! tanned, but want this highway
fund surplus of $6,000,000 divert
ed into the general fund So that
the 80 per cent salary cut of the
school teachers can be restored.
The trouble with this plan, how
ever, is that it would restore the
salary cut for only one year,
since it is impossible to get an
additional $6,O0O,00O from the
gasoline and license tax each
year above the needs of the high
way department.
The 100000 automobile own
ers in the state want the gaso-
line or license tax-preferably
the license tax-reduced so that
the revenue from these sources
will not leave more than enough
to meet highway debt and main
tenance costs and want the sur
plus held in reserve to ta.Ge care
of necessary new or replacement
highway construction.
The big gasoline and oil COM
panies are already starting an
other campaign for a reduction
in the tax on gasoline and are
expected to make determined
drive to get this tax lowered IN
the next general assembly. Ihey
made a similar effort in the 1858
general assembly through lobby
lists sent here by the national re-
troleum Institute, but did not
make much progress. But II they
can show that the gasoline tax IS
bringing in more revenue than IS
actually needed, they will have a
strong talking point in the 1889
general assembly.
The various counties will, of
course, make an effort to have
the $6,000,000 surplus divided up
among the counties and be sent
back to them to be spent on the
county roads.
The highway contractors ce-
ment manufacturers, asphalt dis
tributors, highway machinery
makers and others associated
with highway construction, will
of course fight all efforts to
either divert the '$6,000,000 sur
plus or any part of the revenue
from the gasoline and license
taxes and urge the use of the
surplus, as we'll as any yearly
surplus over and above regular
appropriations, one more ade-
ouate maintenance and new con-
struction.
The highway and public works
commission is expected to take
the same stand and maintain that
this surplus and any accruing
surplus should be held in reserve
for new construction, reconstruc-
ton and improving present high
ways.
Thus there will be a seven
cornered fight over the DISPOSE
ton of both the accumulated sur
plus in the highway fund, as well
as over the use of any yearly
I surplus that may accrue later on,
it is pointed out. But if the
sentiment in favor of reducing
the cost of automobile license
plates to So each, regardless of
the size or weight Of a car, as is
now advocated in the state Re-
publican platform adopted last
week in Charlotte, there will no
longer be any yearly surplus in
the highway fund to be diverted

forces, the big oil companies and
those who want the surplus di-
verified to the counties, are going
to fight and reduction in the cost
of the license plates, it is be-
lieved. For the anti-sales takers
know that if any reduction is
made in the cost of license plates,
they will not be able to remove
the general sales tax and compel
the payers of the gasoline sales
tax to pay the difference. The
school forcecs already realize that
if any reduction is made in the
highway revenue they cannot ex-
pect to dip into the highway fund
to get more money for schools
and get their salary cuts restor-
ed The big gasoline and oil
companies know, that there will
be no chance to get the sales tax

eral sales tax abolished. So a

Lieut.. Co. Oscar Winthrop
Hoop will soon take office here
as police and fire commissioner
because his students of politics
at the University of Tulsa didn't
subscribe to his theory.
Hoops theory, eXpOunded by
many a teacher of politics before
han, was tnat an ordinary citizen
without organization backing has
no chance in running for public
office unless ne promises jobs,
kisses babies, and in general
scoops TO low and unprincipled
conduct.
IIoor's students wouldn't be-
love him. Further, they went
right out TO prove him wrong.
Result: Hoop 1924; opponent,
$751;. for police commissioner.
Here's how it all started: Hoop

his favorite thcory-that only or

few days later, he filed his candl-

1t was, Just a demonstration.

nor is my announcement made in
response to public demand.
81 shall pay my own expenses,
shall make no promises 70 any
person or group of persons, make
no campaign, kiss no babies, and
conduct myself as a gentleman"
Professional politicians chuckled.
There were seven candidates for
the job, including lanky Thomas
/. Monroe, veteran office holder
and smart politician.
STUDENTS GET BUSY
But the students did not chuckle.
They didn't think the colonel was
right. Being young, they felt it
could be done. So they started
out to do it.
Some 800 of them jigged to-
gether a temporary organization.
and while the colonel kept to his
campus and classroom the .u-
dents went to town.
They began bobbing up at pre-
election meetings, boosting the
colonels program of a merit sys-
tenn in the police department in
stead of the spoils system, law
enforcement, city manager gov

public utilities. 1t started in a
very modest way.

BOYS GO ON STUMP
Instead of being spanked, the
"boys" found themselves invited
to speak at meetings. They did.
The ball began to roll. The stu

to stump the Spanish quarter.
Colonel Hoop himself began to be
interested. He challenged Mon
roe to meet him in debate in
