McCARTHY GIVES REVENUE PLAN Opposes Sale Tax Recommended By Committee; Royster Quoted As Favoring Sales Measure Marion McCarthy, Representative from this county, in a statement to the Journal recently gave his views on raising the revenue needed for state purpose, and said that he was opposed to the three per cent sales levy recommended by the interim committee. He favors instead a strict enforcement of the poll tax law: a tax on income of over $1,000 for single persons and over $2,000 for men with families; and a tax on the income of corporations and partnerships. He believes also that the budget as submitted can and should be reduced approximately two million dollars. With this cut in the budget and with the levies proposed above he says the revised budget will be balanced. If there should, however, still be an apparent deficit, the tax on whiskey can be raised above 5 cents and will not injure the industry, he states. Mr. McCarthy, in a direct appeal the people of the district says, "I now ask the people of my district to express to me your plans for meeting these this deficit.
