Greensboro Discussing Sales Tax to Pay for Longer School Year, April 16, 1926

Talk of a Sales Tax to Finance Schools

Greensboro, April 15—Interested persons and state officials have been discussing the sales tax as a means for financing the proposed extra two months it is proposed to tack on to the constitutional six months minimum school term throughout North Carolina, it was learned today.

The two months will have to be financed, and it will take some heavy financing, and the old idea of a luxury sales tax has bobbed up. It is a proposal full of dynamite and is being handled very gingerly. In fact, it is stated that it wouldn’t do to publish anything about it now.
