Every road west of the Blue
Ridge" was the way the State
Highway department listed the

however, to have main highways in
the vicinity of Asheville opened by
Thursday, but said another day
would be required to open those in
the Boone section.
While the West dug out from

tween 800 and 400 school children,
stranded motorists on the roads and
damaged communication and power
lines, a flood menace arose in the
East.
Advisory warning that the Roa-

rivers would leave their banks
were issued by the U. S. weather
bureau at Raleigh.
Extra equipment was sent to the
mountain counties by the State
Highway department to help in
clearing roads. The highway work
ers were handicapped by having
no machinery designed to handle,
deep SHOWS and in some places the
snow had drifted to a depth of 10!
feet or more on the roads.
With all highway traffic para

Scores of automobiles were aban-

were reported stuck in the snow

Banner Elk and Elk Park, alone.
Despite the conditions, no ex-

Reports of children snowbound
included 4S brought to the court
house at Asheville after their bus
became stalled, 20 in the Valley

80 in the Avery county school near

Mr.. Hoey came to Washington
to remain two days urging a Recon-
struction Finance loan for a group
OF cotton mills in CASTOR county
now in the hands of a receiver, but
which are slowly getting on their
financial feet.
Il feel very we'll satisfied as to
my campaign, and believe that
will be nominated" said Mr.. Hoey
who is opposed for the honor by
John McRae, of Charlotte, R. W.
Mcdonald and A. H. Graham.
Should the Legislature of the
State be called to act so that the
State may avail itself of the bene-
fits of the social security act, and
to aid tobacco growers?" MIR. Hoey
was asked.
II have made myself plain in re-
gard to a session of the Legisla-
ture," responded Mr.. Hoey in his
careful may of stating a PROPOSE
ton. "On every occasion, I have
said that if the persons who are re-
sponsible and have the matter in
hand feel that it would be to the
advantage of the State for a special
session of the Legislature to be
held, it should convene. I have a
deep interest in the agricultural in
dustry of our State, and hope that
producers of tobacco, cotton and
other products will be given every
advantage that is possible under
the law. If a special session of the
would help the situa-
ton, it should be held. The in
of all industries should be
into account and the greatest
good to the largest number should
be the controlling element in the
situation.
II am deeply interested in the
application of the social security
I want the aged of our State
and Others who would be benefited
to receive their quota under this
great and beneficent law, and l
hope that should those in authority
in our State feel some steps
should be taken that they will act
as soon as they deem it advisable"
Asked as to repeal of the sales
tax in the State, Mr.. Hoey %reiter-
ated his previously announced
view that the tax should be elimi-
mated as to food and clothing, and
on all other items as soo as the fin
ancial condition of the State will
permit.
In regard to the prohibition is
sue, Mr.. Hoey said little was be-
ing said thus far in the campaign
in regard to the liquor question.
One of the questions to be voted
on in the next election in North
Carolina is an amendment to the
constitution permitting the Legisla-
ture, if it deems such advisable, to
increase the corporation tax. The
legal limit is now six per cent. Mr..
Hoey said that he was favorable to
the amendment, and would make a
public announcement In regard to
it later, but at present he preferred
to reserve comment. As to oun
ties he would carry in the western
section of the State, Mr.. Hoey said
he was confident that he would
carry 4S out of the SO in that sec
ton in the primary, and that he
would more than break even in the
eastern part.

Washington-Lhe outlook fo1
adjournment of Congress before
June l gets simmer and simmer;
The main thing that is going tc
eat up time is working out a new
tax bill. That a very large amount
of additional tax revenues must be
found somewhere, and that quickly,
is now regretfully admitted by
members Of Congress. At any
time the problem of taxation is a
delicate one. Important new tax
systems have to be discussed and
considered from many angles be-
sides the question of whether they
will raise the money needed.
That sort of discussion has al
ready begun in regard to President
Roosevelt's proposal to levy a tax
upon the undisturbed surplus Of
corporations. That would mean
that liquid funds in corporate
treasures, which are being held as
reserves, either against a falling off
in business or to finance improve
ments and extensions as business
picks up, would be drawn upon as
a new source of revenue.
The Presidents proposal is to
abolish the existing taxes on cor
porate incomes, excess profits and
capital stock, which now produce
a revenue of about 100000 a
year, and instead, levy a tax which
is estimated at about one-third IF
their total on the corporate reserves.
This, the Treasury figures, would
amount to about $1,600,O0O, thus
increasing the Governments income
by $500, 000, 900.
VIEWING NEW TAX PLAN
The question of how the Presi-
dents plan would work out is what
is puzzling members Of Congress.
First, would it cropple corporations
which have accumulated large sur
pluses? Second, would it result in
an immediate distribution of large
proportions of those surpluses in the
form of dividends to stockholders,
and so reduce the total to a point
where the expected tax revenue
would not be forthcoming?
1t is pointed out on one hand
that these SURPRISES are the property
of the stockholders and ought to be
distributed to them in the form of
If they were done, they
would be taxable as individual in-
On the other hand, the argument
is set up that only the existence Of
large undistributed surpluses has
enabled many industries to carry I
