Electric Tax
Is Proposed
For Schools
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Try LYNN NESBET)

Raleigh, March 13.-Since the
State of North Carolina has extend
ed application of the sales tax to
gasoline burned in automobile motors
even to the point of taxing the tax
on it-Senator Cogburn doesn't see
why it isn't consistent to levy the
three per cent sales tax on gas which
burns in a stove, and on electric cur
rent as we'll as telegraph and tele-
phone toll charges. All OF these items
are already the victims of special
taxes, it is true, but so is gasoline.
Senator Cogburn introduced last
week bill, now pending in the COM
mittee on education, to provide for a
ninth month of school and twelfth
grade. The States part of the cost @.
such additional schooling would be
obtained by three per cent tax on
the items mentioned.
Under the proposed plan the State
would pay as much as $2.4O per day
per pupil for either the ninth month
or the twelfth grade, the local adj
ministrative unit to choose either but
in no case should one unit receive
both. Balance of the cost would be
supplied by the local unit.
Cogburn estimated that his meas
ure would yield from million and
a quarter to a million and a half
dollars a year 1t would apply the
three per cent tax to all electricity,
gas, telephone and telegraph, even
though distributed by municipal cor
porations but permits the utilities to
add the tax to the customers receipts
and thus make the consumer pay,
lust as in the case of the regular
sales tax.
The hopelessness of the bill is in
dicated by the indifference of well
known lobbyists to it.

FAIRS GROWING
TO POPULARITY
OF OLDSMOBILE

Two great worlds fairs, one in New
York. the other in San Francisco, are
contributing much to the growing
popularity of Oldsmobile's convenient
customer-driveaway service, accord
ing to D. E. Ralston, general sales
manager.
while this method of taking the
delivery of new Oldsmobile has al
ways been popular with motorists in
all parts of the country, these two
world-famous attractions have greatly
stimulated this convenient method"
said Ralston. "By accepting their
new car at the Oldsmobile factory in
Lansing, Michigan, buyers not only
effect freight savings but they also
have the opportunity of many sight
seeing trips enroute to their desti-
nations" he added. "In very many
cases, our owners explain, they plan
to visit one or the other or both of
the big worlds fairs.
"Oldsmobile's method Of arranging
factory delivery is very easy and con-
venient. Customers need only tell
the dealer, when ordering, that they
wish to call at the factory for their
new car. Upon arrival in Lansing
they call at our customer-driveaway
building at the designated time and
their new car is delivered, completely
serviced, and ready for the road.
"While this department is particu-
larly busy at this time of the year
due to prospects of an active touring
season, records show that many buy
ers choose this method of delivery
each year," Ralston stated.

SPENCER GETS
 BITTER DOSE, HOUSE FLOOR
WifhdraWs One Measure as Hopeless and
 Loses Another

Representative Chester Spencer had tough sledding in the House today.
 First, Spencer graciously withdrew his measures which would give the Territorial Road Commission funds to discretionary division rather than to the 25 per cent Divisional arrange ment now in effect.
 Spencer said he had canvassed the House thoroughly. and saw no hope for the measure, so "see no sense in taking more time
 In addition, Spencer said he saves five dollars on a bet" by not seeing the bill go through to an inevitable death.
 Second blow of the day came for Spencer when House Bill No. 9, which he sponsored, asking quart erly business reports in tighten ing of assessment and collection of license taxes, was killed by an over whelming l2 to vote.
 Territorial Treasurer Olson was called to testify on the measure, and shortly after his testimony, the mea- sure was put to vote and killed han ally.
