auEurate the indoor swing season to-
night at Turner's Arena when Irish
Eddie Dunno, New York lightweight,
meets Sailor Born of Georgia in To-
round feature bout.
Installed In popular esteem here
following a decision victory over the
highly regarded joey Straiges last
winter, Dunno Is being maneuvered
along fistiana's oily road by Benny
Leonard, retired undefeated world
lightweight champion. Thus far
Benny has done noble job and Born
doesn't figure to smear his handiwork
tonight.
Born Willing Mixer.
PENNY, together with Ray Arcel,
~ one of ringdom's foremost train
ers, will be in Dunne's corner, while
Manager George Shepherd, water
bucket and prayer will be in Born's
corner. The betting, If any, leans
decidedly toward Dunno.
Born has been injected into the fea-
ture spot by virtue of recording draw
with Irish Johnny Dean here several
weeks ago in six-round scrap. He
lacks the fnesse of Irish Eddie, but is
a willing mixer and crowd pleaser.
Hobo Williams, the courageous Alex

upright eight rounds before collapsing

sales takers are convinced that Lump
kin will not be able to get the list of
exemptions enlarged either I'M Nhe
finance committee or in the House
itself, so that there is virtually no
chance for more than the original ex-
emptions on flour, sugar, coffee, meal,
lard, milk, molasses, and salt, which
are contained in the budget revenue
bill. These are the same "basic food
articles" which were exempted from
the tax until 1885, when all exemp-
tions were restored.
Prefer Uniform Two Percent.
Rather than have the basic exemp-
lions restored, however, most of the
smaller merchants, likewise the De-
partment of Revenue, would much
prefer to have the sales tax rate re-
duced to two per cent. The reason
the merchants do not like the exemp-
tons is because they complicate their
bookkeeping and thus complicate the
making out of returns-'but especial
ly because they offer tremendous
loophole for dishonest merchants t.
evade the tax and thus engage in I'M
fair competition with the honest mer-
chants who pay the tax, it is agreed.

tween the women Democrats of the
State, the mere male politicians here
are lying low and having little to say
one way or the other. They have no
lesire to become involved in a femi-
nine political scrap which has already
become one of the most intense, if not
one of the most bitter, the State has
seen in a good many years It is no
secret that Governor Clyde r. Hoey is
taking no part whatever in the fight,
while other State officials and poll
ical leaders are doing their best to
keep out of it.
In circles where the contest is be-
l4g discussed, however, it is generally
agreed that Miss Parker has some
very strong support especially in the
first and second Congressional dis
tricts, as well as through the east gen
orally and in the Piedmont. It is
generally agreed that Miss Parker
will get heavy vote from committee
members from Guilford and neigh
boring counties, while a good many
western counties are understood to
have lined up for her. Since Chair

the west-McDowel county-members

ing almost unanimous that the vice

evasion under the exemptions than
the small merchants, with the result
that the burden falls more heavily on
the little merchants.
The merchants know this, the De-
partment of Revenue knows it, the
members of the finance committee
know 1t, Governor Clyde r. Hoey,
knows it and most of the members
of the General Assemly know it, and
privately agree that a flat two, per
cent sales tax with no exemptions
would he more fair to every one con-
cerned and would yield more revenue
than three per cent sales tax with
exemptions. There are also indications
that the merchants would give better
cooperation in collecting THE tax if it
should be reduced to two per cent.
Pledges for Exemptions.
The one thing that stands in the
way of this reduction in rate to two
per cent without exemptions is the
pledge made by Governor Hoey dur
ing his campaign that he would urge
the restoration of the exemptions in
the sales tax and the fact that the
Democratic platform favor exemptions
But since the governor has no veto
power and since legislatures frequent
ly disregard both the campaign state
ments of governors as well as the
Democratic platform, there are some
who believe that the finance commit
tees and the assembly may forget
about these things and try to reduce
the rate to two per cent instead of
reSOring the exemptions
There is also some strong sentiment
in various quarters in favor of tie
proposal already made by Represent
tativc w. E. Horner, of Lee county,
to allow the merchants to deduct
three per cent of their sales tax col
lections per month as compensation
for acting as tax collectors for the,
State.
