Compromise Gives State and
Counties $3.50 Shares
in New Revenue
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
I'm the Sir Walter Hotel.
y L. g.. RASK EkVILL

Raleigh, Feb. "a new, comprom-
Use has been agreed to on the pro-
posed new State tax on intanglDles by
the joint finance committees, calling
for $3.50 split of the revenue from
this tax between the State and the
counties. The final session OF the
committees for the discussion of this
tax was held Thursday afternoon, at
which this new compromise plan was
approved. At first it was proposed to
split the revenue on the basis OF oO
Per cent to the counties and 4O per
cent to the State, with the provision
that the State would get all OF the
revenue from the tax on bank depoS-
its. But under this new compromise,
it was agreed to divide the total reve-
nue. from the tax on everything, In
Guiding bank deposits, on $3.50 basis
It is still estimated by Commission
er of Revenue A. ]. Maxwell that I'M
der this new plan the State and the
counties will get only about $65O,OOO
each. But Chairman Victor S. Bry-
ant, of the House Finance Committee,
believes that because the State can
collect the State tax on intangibles
been collecting it, that the revenue
from it will amount to at least ST.
100000 a year, possibly as much as
100000 so that the States share of
this revenue, on a $3.50 basis, will be
at least $750Oo0 a year and probably
even more. -s'io'
SO far most of the opposition to the
proposed State tax on intangibles has
come from the North Carolina Asso-
citation of County Commissioners,
