than increasing it, but without
decrea sing the yield Of revenue!
In facts "a COED many of sthos7
who haye been studying the sales
tax laws and,tits operation darlns
the past year are convinced that
it can be made to yield much
more by merely plugging up some
of the defects of the present law.
If the present exemptions are re-
moved, exempting sugar, flour,
milk, lard, meal, meat, coffee, salt
and molasses, many believe the
tax could be reduced to 2 per cent
and still yield more than the pres
ent 3 per cent tax is yielding.
That there will be three differ
ent schools of thought in the 1885
general assembly with regard to
the sales tax is now definitely as
sured. These will be as follows:
|. Those who want to repeal
the sales tax entirely and get the
equivalent amount of revenue,
amounting to from S7,00O,000 to
100000 a year either from in
creasing taxes on business or
property, or both.
2. Those who want to keep the
sales tax law about as it is, with
the exception of making a few
changes to tighten up its enforce
ment and increase the revenue
Weld from it.
3. Those who want to broaden
the base of the sales tax by re-
moving all exemptions or by MAX
ing it apply to other than retail
sales, such as to restaurants and
cafes, and thus make it possible
to reduce the rate of tax to 2 IL
or 2. per cent and at the same
time increase the yield from it.
At the present time there is not
much to indicate that the first
group will be able to do anything
more than cause delay in the gen.
eral assembly, since an impartial
analysis of the membership of
beth the 1885 senate and house
indicates a majority in favor Of
retaining the sales tax, according
to most observers here. This is
especially true in the senate
where not more than ten men,
bers are considered as being def
nitely in favor of repeating it. So
the outright repeal of the sales
, tax seems already to be out of
the picture.
! 1t is agreed that there. is a
growing sentiment in several
quarters = to the effect that if
North Carolina is going to have a
sales tax it should apply to all
sales and that there should not
be any exemptions. 1t is reported
that some in the western and
Piedmont sections maintain that
all the exemptions do is to ex-
empt the large. negro population
in the east from paying the tax,
and that they are as able to pay
their share of it as well as the
mill workers in the Piedmont. On
the other hand, there is due to
be strong and determined opposi-
ton from the rural counties to
any attempt to make the sales tax
apply to the purchases of -four,
meal, sugar, coffee, lard, meat,
molasses and salt which the farm
ers must buy either for their own
use or the use of their tenants.
This attempt will also be strongly
resisted by organized labor, rep
resenting the mill operatives and
the industrial working classes.

Any effort to make the sales tax
apply to restaurants and cafes
will also be vigorously resisted, 1t
is generally agreed.
As a result, present indications
are that when the 1885 general
assembly finally adiourn5, it wills
have left the sales tax law in
about its present form, with the
rate still at 3 per cent and hav-
ing made only some rl.nor adjust
ments in the enforcement machin-
cry, most observers here think.
Among some of these minor adj
justments, it is expected it will
change the law to require mer-
chants to make returns every
month, regardless of the amount
of the return and that it will give
the department of revenue more
authority to compel collections.

RALEIGH, July IA. - While
most observers agree that there
is little or no chance that the
1885 general assembly will repeal
the sales tax law, there is already
an increasing amount of discus
sion concerning changes in the
law and indications are that many
changes will be proposed and sew
eral of them adopted. No pro-
posal has been heard here, how
ever, looking toward increasing
the rate of the tax, in spite of the
claim recently made by Willard
L. Dowell, secretary of the North
Carolina Merchants association to
the effect that plans were already
underway to increase the tax
from the present 8 per cent on
gross sales to either 4 or even 5
per cent.
In fact, most of the plans be-
ing seriously proposed or cOnsid-
cred have as their objective the
decreasing of the tax rate rather

Hospitals

Declaring that many Gold Star
mothers are unable to provide
themselves with more than a bare
existence, the second annual con
vention of Gold Star Mothers,
Inc, meeting at the Hamilton
Hotel, today adopted resolutions
asking that such women be
granted hospital care.
The resolution, submitted by

read:
american Gold Star mothers
Of today range in age from so
to 20 years. In many cases
they are alone and have no
source of income save their
meagre pension, which is in
sufficient for more than mere
existence. In many cases they
need medical attention and
hospital care but are unable to
pay for professional service and
must rely on home remedies,
county hospitals, county farms
and such charitable Organiza-
tiOnS."
President Roosevelt received the
Gold Star Mothers shortly before
noon.
The convention opened yester.
day and will close tomorrow with
a visit to Arlington National

SEWER JOB PAY

D. C.. Heads and Contractors
May Carry Battle to
Secretary lCkeS

A dispute between the commits.
sioners and three contractors on
three large sewer construction
projects under PWA plans may
involve Secretary Ickes before the
matter is settled, it was learned
at the District Building today.
Contractors on the new outfall
sewer work at Blue Plains and on
a project north of Benning are
paying $1.10 an hour for brick
work, and the contractor building
the Northeast Boundary Sewer
near Gallinger Hospital is pay
ing $1.10 an hour for stationary
engineer.
J. B. Gordon, District Sanitary
Engineer, in a memorandum to
Commissioner GotwalS today ex-
pressed the fear that under rul-
ing by Secretary Ickes, PWA ad-
miniStrator, the brick work should
be paid for at $1.75 an hour and
that the engineer should be paid
$1.37 an hour.
The Commissioners have decid-
ed to notify the contractors that
the District government will with
hold enough money to insure the
eventual payment of the higher
rate if the officials of the PWA so
decide.

SPEEDY ACTION
To Be URGED
IN SENATE
Milk Inquiry, Also Up in Com
mittee on MCCarran Plea,
Meets DiSfaVor
BY LOUIS E. WHYTE

Reducing the amount requested
from $25, 900 to $4,000, the Sen
ate Committee on Audit and Con-
troll today approved the Davis
Walsh resolution for a Senate in
vestigation of alleged wage "kick-
back" practices of contractors on
Federal projects.
The committee also amended
the resolution SO as to give the
group making the investigation
power to inquire into charges
that labor organization heads
have exacted fees from workmen
for obtaining jobs for them.
This amendment was inserted
at the inSistence of Senator Mil
lard E. Tydings CD of Mary
land, who asserted he has re-
ceived complaints of this nature.
Sentae Action Near
Senator David I. Walsh CD Of
Massachusetts,, co-author of the
resolution, who appeared before
the committee today to urge
favorable action, said Senator
James F. Byrnes CD of South
Carolina. chairman of the com.
mittee. has assured him he will
seek Senate Endorsement of the
proposal probably today or to.
morrow.
The Massachusetts, Senator ex-
planned that as soon as the Sem
ate acts he will call the Edu.
cation and Labor Committee, Of
which he is chairman, together
to lay the groundwork for the
probe.
This meeting, he expects, will
be held before the end of this
week, with a view to getting the
inquiry under way some time
next week.
Milk Probe Opposed
Senator Byrnes' committee
also ave further consideration
to the resolution of Senator Pat
McCarran CD of Nevada for
an investigation into the ma
tional milk industry, but it was
understood the committee ap.
peared hostile to this proposal.
Senator McCarran introduced
the milk probe measure on the
basis of testimony present last
summer when the Senate District
Committee conducted an inquiry
into the local milk industry.
1t is the Nevada Senator's con.
tention that, from the evidence
adduced at the local inquiry, it
is apparent that a national milk
trust" is attempting to monopo.
lize the market.
His resolution has been favorably
reported by the Senate Agriculture
Committee and was approved ny
the Secretary of Agriculture, al
though the latter suggested that
the Federal Trade Commission
handle the investigation.
Since the resolution calls for an
expenditure of $4,000 from the
contingent fund of the Senate, the

CONF FEREES D. K.
LUMP SUM Of
S5,700,000 1
Most of Senate Additions to
D. c. Bill Win; School
Funds Approved

Senate and House conferees to
day virtually reached an agree
ment on the District appropria'
tions bill, it was learned at the
Capitol.
The Senate, it was reported,
was victorious on most of the con.
troversial items of the bill, win.
ming approval of more than half
the Senate amendments which
would have added a total of S..
600, 900 to House figures.
Lump Sum Restored
The lump sum contribution of
the Federal Government to the
District, placed by the House at
1885, 900, was restored by the
conferees to the original figure of
SIS, 700, 900, it was reported.
The appropriation for relief
work in the District during the
coming fiscal year was set at
81, 100000, it was learned. The
original estimate and a supple
mental item offered by the Com
misioners totaled $3,000,OOO.
School Funds Approved
On restoration of items for
school construction, the Senate
conferees were largely victorious,
according to reports.
These items include 5000 900
for the woodrow Wilson High
School; $500 for work at the
Logan School; $4,000 for the
Anacostia Junior High School;
SOS, 900 for an addition to the
Phelps Vocational School, and
$166,000 for an addition at the
Deal Junior High School.
School items which are said to
have been stricken from the bill
in conference include $4,000 for
an automobile repair shop and
gymnasium at the Armstrong
High School, and $4,000 for an
addition to the Bunker Hill School.
Viaduct Fund Out
The Senate amendment to the
appropriations bill to provide
$450, 900 for the Michigan Avenue
grade crossing viaduct is believed
to have been lost in the con-
ference, while the $37, 1000 increase
in salary appropriations for the
Public Utilities Commission re-
manned unsettled. This latter
item was a restoration of part Of
the $50,OO0 cut in P. U. C. Salar-
les made by the House.
The conferees will meet again
tomorrow to complete details of
the report and it is expected
that the finished report will go
to the two Houses tomorrow.
