Raleigh, Aug. 29.-(AP)-A Sup
RENE Court test of the validity of
North Carolina's three percent sales
tax appeared assured today when
Revenue Commissioner A. j. Max
well ruled that the Community Vari-
ETY. Store of Winston Salem must pay

up the shop to test the validity OF the
tax, which nets the State about Sill
100000 annually.
Leonard, secretary of the North
Carolina Fair Tax Association, said
he would pay the tax under protest
and take his case Immediately to
court.

Harris Rules
This Week On
Congress Row

Raleigh, Aug. 29.-(AP)-Judge W..
c. Harris, of Raleigh, said today he
would rule probably Wednesday or
Thursday on an election dispute aris-
ing from alleged irregularities in the
eighth congressional district run-off
primary Regardless of Harris de-
cision, however, the case is expected
to be appealed to the State Supreme
Court in the next fortnight.
The suit was brought in Wake Su-
perior Court by w. o. Burgin, of Lex
ington, who alleged that he should
be declared the Democratic nominee
in the eighth district. Returns OIL
ginally certified by county election
boards gave Burgin a majority OF
more than 100 votes over G. B. Ceane,
of Rockingham. The State Board of
Elections investigated fraud charges,
however, and new certification of
votes gave Dean a majority of %.
Wednesday, Harris will hear suit
brought against the State Board of
Elections by ]. Robert Young, OF
I'unn, who alleged that he should be
declared the nominee in The fourth
solicitorial district. Returns certified
by county boards gave Solicitor
Claude C. Canaday a majority Of the

State Sales Tax Test
Started Toward Courts


as dictatorial and unconstitutional.
Fred Parrish, of Winston-Salem, at
torney for the Fair Tax Association,
asserted that "even Hitler couldn't
do much worse" than some of the
arbitrary provisions" in the sales tax
law.
The association, in a brief filed
with Maxwell, also alleged that the
tax was unconstitutional because it
was passed by an illegally constitute
ed legislature. Since 1880, Leonard
pointed out, the legislature has re-
fused to reapportion its membership
on a population basis, as prescribed
by the State Constitution
Maxwell pointed out tnat this argu-
ment, if upheld by the Supreme
Court, automatically would void al
laws passed by the General Assembly
since 1929.

Foes Of FDR
Are Orphans
If They Lose
By CHARLES P.U STEWART
Central Press COIumnisf

Washington, Aug. 29.-It is fascinat-
ing to wonder what will become of
the anti-New Deal Democrats if it be-
comes finally apparent that the New
Dealers are irrevocably in control OF
the Democratic party.
This year is not likely to settle the
question; "pro" and "anti" congress
sional victories probably will more or
less balance one another.
But 1910 should be pretty decisive.
Should the ants, led by some such
conservative as John NJ Garner. sue
coed to debating the next Democratic
presidential nomination, their pro-
blem will be solved for them. Even
if their candidate were to lose at the
polls, the party still would be their
party. However, if Roosevelt is re-
nominated or if he picks the NOM
inee, the ants can fairly well make
up their minds that the party has
ceased permanently to be the party
they always belonged to- Then what
will they do?
Few Could Stand 1t.
The Republicans would like to as
simulate them. The G. o. P. would
welcome them, in fact, but not as
Democratic; it would want them to
become Republicans. Now for an old
time Democrat to switch to Repub-
lican label would be worse than
death almost Indeed, it's unimagin-
able that any number of them could
stand it.
Moreover, there is a good deal OF
difference between a Democratic OLD
timer and any kind of Republican.
An original Democrat is States
Fighter" and Republicanism is ns-
tionalistic. Republicanism tradition
ally is welded to high tariff protec-
ton and a good Democrat always ha,
been a low-tariffite or even a fres
trader "Laisserfaire" still is the trr
Democrats motto, and Republicanisl
is very governmental.
They'll Be Orphans.
In short, an old-model Democrs {
who should flop to Republicans.
would be doing more than changir
his label; he would be surrenderin
a lot of his old principles.
Hate the New Deal as he may, Re-
publicanism must be equally repulsiy ,
to him.
