men will be at work at the camp site
within three weeks. At that time the

Broughton's Position On

favor or oppose.
He also told your Raleigh reporter
he does not recollect ever making
any f~lat-footed, unqualified state
ment of his opposition to the cOntin-
gent diversion provision. He points
out hat some who did not back him
IN the primary afterwards explained
their opposition on the grounds that
other candidates definitely commit
ted themselves against contingent
diversion, while he (Broughton) did
not.
He did not tell your reporter what
his stand on the question of contin-
gent diversion now is-so he there
again left plenty of room for specula-
ton.
With the Broughton views thus in
grave doubt, it may be a bit prema-
ture to remark upon the loud
squaWks Of anguish which are going
to echo through the land if by any
chance the next governor does, in
TACT, oppose the exemption Of any APP
preciable number Of home foods or
II he does not advocate repeal of
the contingent diversion section.
That these walls will be heard far
and near if either contingency should
develop is absolutely sure, because
there are many too many people who
in their minds that Nh. Broughton
has actually and irrevocably commit
ted himself on both issues,
There Will be no convincing Jim
Nogler, for instance, that he did not
have MI. Broughton's support in ad-
%Nocating exemption of practically all
articles sold in grocery stores.
There will equally be no convinc-
ing those who remember MI. Brough
tons I2dio speech Of May %, 1910,
that he did not commit himself with
out reservation on the contingent di-
version matter.
Here is what he said on the oc-
casion, according to a stenographic
transcript Of the address:
The primary roads must be main
tanned, improved and safeguarded;
and major emphasis must be given
to u system Of farm and secondary
roads. The importance of this pro-
gram is such that no part of the
highway fund should be diverted for
any purpose.
Experience during the last bien-
MUM has shown that the revenues
from other sources are sufficient for
general purposes, without even the
contingent provisions Of the Revenue
act known az subsection (b), section
400, which permits diversion under
certain circumstances. Accordingly,
this section should be repealed to the
end that the people Of the state may
be assured that there will under no
circumstances be any diversion IF
u highway funds.'
AS already stated, there may be
no cause for excitement. Mr.. Brought
ton may sanction exemption OF prac-
tically all grocery store foods. He
may, likewise, advocate repeal of the
contingent diversion section. But if
he doesn't, as now seems to be a
possibility, there are going to be a
multitude of disappointed and dis
illusioned folks to cuss him for a
t%urnCOat.

Of food. Broughton is pledged to such
q course.
The incoming governor is also
pledged in favor Of a retirement sys-
TEN for all state employees, includ-
ing teachers.
No doubt there will be another
light over a section of the revenue
act which provides for diversion, if
necessary. of highway funds equal to
the three percent sales tax if it was
applied to gasoline sales.
On the matter Of reapportionment
the new governor has expressed the
opinion that the state should be re-
districted to provide for a twelfth
congressman. Under the Constitution
the State must also be redistricted
for state legislative representation.
There has been nc inkling whether
Broughton would recommend a state
wide referendum on liquor. Many
legislators predict that the liquor
question Will become a major issue
late in the legislative session, but
they won't try to forecast whether
the present county option system, un-
der which 26 counties have liquor
stores, will be retained Or not.
1t is a foregone conclusion in
capitol hill circles that the l94l-43
budget will be at a record high, but
how high nobody tries to guess.

BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Jan. Tax trouble is
holding up construction Of one huns
dred miles of rural electric lines to
serve some 300 customers in Clay
aid Cherokee counties and the North
Carolina Rural Electri1ication Au-
thority still doesn't know what to
do about it.
There viii be Il meeting of the
REA board here January 8, at which
1t IS hoped onIr sort OF solution can
be worked out - though it is now
generally admitted that nobody
knows how.
Backbone 0 fthc trouble is the
fact that the electric coop designed
to serve this Clay-CherJkee sector
is Incorporated III the State of Gcor-
gla.
Hence Secretary Of State Thad
Eure has properly ruled that it must
domesticate IN North Carolina to do
business and must pay the six per
cent gross receipts franchise levy
LAID on such corporations.
That doesn't suit the Federal REA
a little bit. In fact the federal az
thorities think so little of it. that
they have fatty refused to turn loose
an ALLEGATION Of 100000 unless and
until the tax situation is worked
out.
The obstacles to working it out
seem big. There is a North Caro-
lima law permitting electrical co-ops
to organize under the so-called
membership act and thereby escape
taxation. Already those coopcra-
tives which originally did not do
so have sWtched over and are
memberships, but the attorney
generals office has ruled that this
membership act is designed only
for the promotion of rural clcctrifj-
cation in North Carolina. No such
membership corporation can serve
customers in other states.
In the Clay-Cherokee section no
electrical coop can be considered
economically feasible unless it in

It IS for that reasOn the Federal REA

the State REA in an effort t. get
something done; but 50 far nothing
short Of an act of the legislature has
been suggested as likely to be an
effective remedy.
Undoubtedly nobody meant to levy
any tax on an interstate cooperative
any nor than on an intrastate cor
pOratlon of the same kind, but as
the law stands. that's what has hap

The coop involved is the Blue
Ridge Electrical Association. Inc,

In addition to the CIay-Chorokcc
muddle, the REA board will have
before it at its January 7 meeting
an application from the Wake Mem

to extend lines INTO Johnston and

But this time there was no talk of

weather apparently was just too bad
for air activity on either side Of the

''decisive events are now to come. All
