Twenty-Five divorce suits have been

Perhaps the outstanding case that
is expected to be tried is the suit for

the city to meet it's commitments in

BLAME SLUMP ON
HIGH GAS TAXES
Necessitate Such Events as
National Used Car Ex-
change Week
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, March 11-Necessity for
such events as National Used Car Ex-
change Week is laid almost directly
at the door of high gasoline take ;
according to results of survey
made by the American Petroleum In
dustries Committee and reported in
North Carolina by State Senator S.
Gilmer Sparger, secretary of the
North Carolina committee.
Approximately 100000 cars hav-
ing a value of $50 or less, operated
chiefly by motorists with income of
less than $40 week are now in ope-
ration on the nations highways, Mr..
Sparger cites statistics to show and
lie adds that North Carolina has fully
is proportionate share of these cars.
The rate at which these used cars
are scrapped or exchanged for less
antiquated models determi ines in a
large measure the activity of the
new and used car markets, according
to Mr.. Sparger.
The retarding influence of high au-
tomotive taxes on sales is most ap-
parent in the large group of motor
lists of small income who own fourth
and fifth hand cars, but when these
people fail to scrap or trade in their
old cars, the effect is felt right up
through the entire list. -
Lower automotive taxes, it is be-
lieved, would make it economically
possible for millions of motorists to
exchange their old cars for younger
used cars" said Mr.. Sparger.
He pointed out that survey made
by the American Association of State
Highway Officials shows that gaso-
line in North Carolina is subject to
what amounts to a sales tax of 47.85
per cent, as against the states three
per cent sales tax on most commodi-
ties.
In other words, according to MI.
Sparger, of every dollar spent for
gasoline in North Carolina 3237 cents
goes to pay taves, leaving 67.63 cents
for the actual purchase of motor fuel.
This state, according to the survey,
stands about in the middle, with the
Tennessee motorist taxed 80 cents on
every dollar he spends for gasoline
and the Missourian paying only 1876
cents of his dollar to the tax collect
