is now for use of the local units.
The present yield from intangibles
is approximately 100000 annually,
and Commissioner of Revenue A. J..
Maxwell estimates that this will be
at least doubled by imposition of the
new taxes. His estimate is that a
minimum of $1,25O,OOO per year would
be collected and he has said that this
estimate may well be doubled when
actual returns are in.
Opposition to the taxes comes from
two sources. First there are the coun-
W and city officials who sincerely be-
heVe their units would be deprived
of rightful revenue. Then there is the
group of tax dodgers who have man
aged to conceal their intangible as
sets under previous laws and who are
increasingly aware they will be forced
to dlsgorge under the proposed
statutes.
Support for the plan comes from
those who are convinced that the
State has reached the saturation point
when it comes to operating it's MANY
services for the counties and cities
and who feel that the new levies will
be valuable in stopping tax lodging
A conference of county commission
ers which met here yesterday adopted
resolutions opposing the new taxes
but after the session many county Of
flcial6 expressed the opinion that
their opposition would not he press
ed to the limit
This appears only natural in view
of the fact that not more than three
or four counties would lose substan-
tial sums as result of the diversion
of taxes on intangibles to the State.
Mecklenburg would be the chief suf-
ferer, that county now getting some
$413,000 revenue from intangibles,
solvent credits. Forsyth gets $217. 900
and Guilford $4,000. but there are
no others in the State at present col
lecting as much as $4,000 annually.
So despite the desire of all the coun
ties to keep every possible penny of
revenue for themslvs, there are not
enough whose toes are being stepped
on to make their opposition more
than perfunctory.
Commissioner Maxwell is solidly be-
hind the new levies, feeling that they
are necessary to carry on State func-
tions and believing that they would
do away with many abuses now in
existence.
Some opposition by bankers has
been heard on the grounds that the
tax on bank deposits would cause de-
positors to use out of the State banks
but Mr.. Maxwell scoffed at this con-
tention and pointed out that prac-
tically all other states have such a
levy, with most of them levying more
than North Cardinals proposed 10
cents per $40, Virginia's rate, he said
is 20 cents per $1OO and no State of

EMPLOYERS RESENT
"S|TDOWN" STRIKES
But Capitol Much Prefers
These to Any March ON
Washington
By CHARLES u. STEWART
Central Press Columnist

Washington, Jan 16 = Sitdown
by employers as a particularly mali
gnant development in labor warfare.
Congress, the administration and
however, vastly prefer them to
marches of malcontents upon the ma
tional capital.
The longer discontinued element
will st down at a long distance from
the Potomac and stay there the bet
ter official Washington likes it.
COXEY'S WAS FIRST
So far as I know, the capitalWard
march of General Coxeys army was
me first of these demonstrations.
1t was so far in the past that I
don't remember much of it, 1 think
it was an incident of the depression
of the early 1905. NV recoi ecti>n
is that the Capitol police were for
midable enough to shoe the army
back from their grounds and prevent
i serious disturbance.
Still, such displays are semi-revolu-
tionary in tone; they frightened con-
sentative statesmen.
fHEN-DURING DEPRESSION
There was not another big one I'M
til some time after the industrial
smash-up of 1929 when Father Cox,
Roman Catholic clergyman in Pitts
burgh, led huge delegation from
many parts of the republic to the Cap
itol Plaza to demand proletarian
rights from the lawmakers.
1 remember that all right.
Congress was alarmed a-plenty. The
Capitol building was barricaded as
if for a siege. Only small groups
were allowed to get in, to submit their
grievances, but the rest milled about
on the grounds outside, which is
strictly forbidden. The police, how
'ver. were afraid to scatter them.
THE BONUS BATTLE
Then came the bonus encampment
against which President Hoover call
ed out the United States army.
The army won, indeed, but I miss
my guess if it's victory did not do it's
bit toward beating the Californian for
reelection to the White House.
F. ID. RS LUCK
President Roosevelt had a march
or him too, shortly after his inaugu-
ration.
He stopped it at the line between
Maryland and the District of Column
bia
1t had to camp out on the Mary
land side, the weather was bad, the
campers were nightly encomparable
and they scattered before they had
time to become seriously troublesome.
But it can't always be gambled
that a strike march will be so eff
fectively halted.
