TO FACE VITAL.
.PROBLEMSIN 81.
Sales Tax To Be Threshed
Over Again; Social Sc
curity Question up
b. JOHN A. PARIS, JR.
United Press Staff Correspondent

RALEIGH, Nov. 5. (UP).-Re-
vamping OF To present state sales
tax and determination of the liquor
issue are two vital problems await
ing the North Carolina general as
sembly which convenes shortly
after the first Of January.
The sales tax has been argued
pro and con since the primary
election campaign. 1t was the ma
jor issue of the 1888 session.
The liquor issue ran the sales
tax close second. In a burst Of
unprecedented parliamentary speed
II counties gave up the ghost of
the burlington act during the last
legislature to pass bills permitting
local referendums which in turn
permitted sale Of liquor.
The incoming administration is
committed to modify the sales tax,
and the issue is definitely sched-
uled to take first place on the leg
islative calendar. The anti-sales
tax forces are split now. It's
leader, DR.. Ralph W. Mcdonald of
Forsyth county, who whirled into
the spotlight as the crusader
against the sales tax, will be miss
ing from the floor of the house
this session. But there will be
others to carry on.
At the same time, leaders who
fought for the sales tax in the last
legislature will continue to fight
from the floors Of the two cham
bers for the tax which they believe
"the most equitable ever imposed"
There is little doubt among po-
litical observers that the sales tax
will not be modified.
Also slated to find a prominent
place on the legislative calendar
is the liquor question. For months
special liquor commission, au-
thorized by the 1885 general as
sembly and appointed by Governor
Ehringhaus, has been at work
holding hearings throughout the
state, trying to fathom senti.
ments Of both vets and drys and
come up with suggestions to the
1887 legislature which will give
North Carolina a satisfactory
liquor system.
With II counties going wet UNI
der local referendums following
last-minute legislative adoption in
1885, more counties, it is under
stood, are ready to cross over to
the wet side and share in the re-
ceipts gained from liquor sales.
Social security measures, un-
employment insurance and old
age pensions, will also top the
legislative slate.
The report of the commission
authorized in 1885 to investigate
highway debt claims, which total
well above $50,000,000, is likely
to set the stage for more debate
Much speculation has been
manifest over the states new
mode of execution of it's capital
offenders. Lethal gas was sub
stituted for the electric chair as
"more humane" means of exc
cution by the 1885 general as
sembly. But since the first victim
was lethalized last January there
has been dissent. Thus looms, In
all probability, fight to restore
the electric chair WHICH served the
state for 26 years.

EXPEDITION IN TURKEY
FINDS PRACTICE DATES
BACK 5000 YEARS

BERLIN, Feb. IA German
archaeological expedition in Tur-
key has reported discoveries show
ing sanctions to be 5000 years
old.
Clay tablets were found whose
inscriptions reveal that in 1910
B. C. Hittites and Egyptians in
itialed a treaty ending a long
war. Later the pact was expand.
ed with both ''high contracting
parties" agreeing to order moth
ing from Assyrian states because
the latter had become "inconven-
lent" through economic and polit-
ical pressure.
1t seems, however. that the
agreement did little good. Not
long afterward. according to the
discoveries, the Hittite league
came to sudden end, with Gan
unknown enemys burning down
Bogazkoi.s - tgi
Other tablets found in Thebes,
Egypt, are said TO recount that
Rameses III conquered a foreign
people at that time.

The reason, says DR.. Jirka, is

WHAT KIND OF WALK DID ALMEAN? ]
REAL HIKE-OR A CONSTITUTIONALY

There is listed the "walk of
life" meaning chosen profess
sion or habitual sphere of ac-
tom; but Mr.. Smith has taken
the precaution to declare before
hand he will not become an hab-
itual walker. He says he expects
to die Democrat.
There is the "walk-around,"
noted as ga dance performance
during which the dancer describ-
es large CIRCLE" the "walk-
over" which the Happy Warrior
manifestly does not expect to
have at the national convention;
and walking the chalk" which
he certainly indicates he will have
no part in doing.
There is the act of walking
by faith" and on the other hand
the act of walking awry." Last
ly. there is military term,
"walk-about," which may be in
some degree applicable to the
situation. 1t means 'that the
customary salute is waived"
Break Believed Complete
Certainly the least Mr.. Smith
can mean is that he will not
give the customary salute when,
as forecast by all present expec-
tations,> the national convention
renominates Fir. Roosevelt and
commends his administration in
glowing words.
In that respect, the break would
seem to be complete. Among the
congratulatory messages to the
nominee no one will look for one
from A. E. Smith; nor will that
name be included in any list of
campaigners for the Democratic
ticket.
Smith has made known his dis
pleasure in words which can be
understood without consulting the
dictionary. Even if he now be-
comes entirely silent, the. men,
ory of his declaration will remain
factor in the campaign.
Beyond that, it is anybody's
guess what he will do, what form
of walking he will adopt. The
guess of some of his intimates
is that he himself does not know.
BY a single word, capable of many
interpretations, he has made him.
self center of supreme curiosity.
AL Smith has had many color
full experiences with the English
language. but none more interest
ing than this. Nor has any party
been thrown into a similar other
of argument over the significance
of a word since Mr.. Coolidge
handed the Republicans that ia
nous six-letter verb in his lido
not-choose-to-run" statement in
