SALES TAX IN
n. c. HOLDS Up
Maxwell Is Satisfied With
Collections But Sees Eva
sions, He Says
Ey J. G. BASKERVILL
The Times. News Bureau
SIR Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, Jan. Awhile there
ere undoubtedly some merchants
who are trying to evade payment
Of the sales tax they are collect
ing to the state. most Of the mer-
chants are cooperating fully with
the state and are paying the tax
they are collecting without am
effort at evasion, Commissioner
of Revenue A. J. Maxwell said to-
day. He said he was aware that q
good many people think many
merchants are collecting more
sales tax than they are paying
over TO the state. He also agreed
that if any are doing this, they
should be found out and pun
ished. But the experience of the
past five months has convinced
him and others in the department
of revenue that the sales tax s
being collected as efficiently as
any other state tax and that most
of the merchants are cooperating
fully with the state.
81 admit | was disappointed
over the December sales tax col
lections, which amounted to only
$58O,E46 as compared with col
lections in November Of 595,39l,
but there are some very definite
reasons for this slump Commis-
sioner Maxwell said. cone is that
many merchants were so busy il
December with the sudden AMI
decided increase in business that
they really did not have time TO
make out their returns for Their
sales in November, so postponed
making these returns until after
their holiday rush. AS a resui2,
5000 fewer merchants made re-
turns in December than in No
vember. We are convinced that
if these 5000 merchants who
failed to make out returns had
done so. that the collections would
have been we'll in excess of the
November collections.
"The state has lost no money,
however. since all these mer-
chants will have to send in returns
between January l and January
Is of all their collections in both
November and December. We also
thought it best not to send our
field men around to call on the
merchants during their holiday
rush. But all of these merchants
will be called upon by our field
men within the next 80 days and
if there have been any Irregular
ties. they will be carefully investi-
gated. And wherever a merchant
| is found whose sales tax collec.
tons seem to be unusually small
in comparison with his total gross
sales. we have full authority to
make an assessment upon him for
the difference between the amount
he has paid in and what we think
he should have paid, based upon
an audit Of his invoices and sales
records. So the public can rest
assured that we are going to col
lect the amount Of sales tax due

Another factor that is not gen
orally understood according -
Commissioner Maxwell, is that
there are between 10000 and l2,
600 merchants whose monthly
sales tax collections are less than
SIC with the result that these
merchants do not nave to make
monthly returns, but only every
three months. As a result, the re-
turns from these merchants will
not be due until January Is, for
the quarter ending December 81.
The sales tax division has al
ready audited the books and rec
ords of most Of the large grocery
store and mercantile chain store
systems. and has found no trace
of any tax evasion, Commissioner
Maxwell said. One instance was
found in which one system had
used a different method in COM
putting the tax with the result that
an assessment was made against
this system. But TINS was not COLI
sidered deliberate attempt at
evasion.

of course, to make extensive au-

JEWISH NEW YEAR
RITES ARRANGED
Rosh Hashanah Services
of Congregation Will
Open Sunday.

When the sun drops below the
horizon Sunday Washington Jews will
begin a two-day celebration of the
opening Of the Jewish year 5695.
At the Adas Israel Congregation,
Sixth and I streets, Rabbi Solomon
II. Nets and Cantor Louis Novick will
conduct annual Rosh Hashanah serv-
ices. At 1890 am. Monday morning
RsLhi Metz will preach on Unity In
Israel" and Tuesday morning at the
same time his subject will be "The
Might That Failed" Special services
at the congregations cemetery will be
held a week from Sunday morning.
Explaining the significance Of the
celebration, Rabbi Metz said:
"On this holiday, which ushers in
the 10 days OF penitence known as
Assereth Yemay Teshuvah, the shofar,
or ritualistic rams horn, is sounded
before the opened ark Of the law.
"Rosh Hashanah is celebrated as
Yom Haddin, when mans conduct is
judged in the light of his repentance,
and also as Yom Hazzikkaron, the day
of memorial because 1t emphasizes the
continual loving remembrance Of all
life before God.
THE central theme Of the ancient
liturgy is that the destiny Of the race
and the fate of creation hinges upon
mans spiritual regeneration.
The symbolic sounds Of the shofar
are vivid reminders of the three great
truths Of the faith-that the world is
ruled by divine justice, that mans
ethical and moral duties are the es-
sence Of religion and that mans re-
demption is Of cosmic significance.
1.-The appeal Of Rosh Hashanah is
universal. The shofar's can to bewil-
dered humanity for spiritual regenera-
ton and conservation is particularly
timely in our day when, to quote DR..
Cyrus Adler of the Jewish Theological
Seminary, We must go back many
decades or even centuries to find a
time when the future was less certain,
passions 50 high and counsel so con-
fused ."

The legislative program to be

pairing today to struggle further and
to get your rights, what is to be
done2
Does it make any difference
whether you are a Democratic, Re-
publican, Socialist or Communist
worker? Whether you are American,
italian, Hungarian or French born;
whether you are a Catholic, Jew,
Baptist or Episcopalian; whether
your skin is black, white or yellow?
We all face the same hunger.
When you go on the picket line the
police do not ask which church you
go to, what your nationality is,
which political party you belong to.
Down GENES the club on the head
of every worker.
Now is the time to unite our
ranks in the struggle against hun
ger, fascism and war. Inside the
Socialist Party and within the A.
F. of l.. there is mass revolt
against the leadership of these or
CARNATIONS. William Green issues
instructions to the Central Labor
Councils and local unions to expel
the Communists, and in this he has
the support of the Dubinskys, Hill
mans, Zausners, Germans. But many
Central Labor Councils and local
unions have thrown the instructions
of Green into the waste basket, de-
cIaring that now is the time for
unity. They refuse to expel the
Communists because they are the
best fighters.
Communists are fighting for unity
in the shops, at the relief bureaus.
The Communists are fighting for
unity in the struggle for Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance. But it
is Norman Thomas himself and his
lieutenants who refuse to unite the
workers in the coming Congress
for Unemployment and Social In
surance. Is it not obvious, there
fore, that the Communist Party is
your party, the only party of the
working class carrying on the fight
against hunger, fascism and war
the fight to destroy the system that
breeds hunger and war and to es-
tablish revolutionary workers gov
eminent, a Soviet government in the
U. S. A!
Vote Communist! Join the ranks
