TALK ABOUT TAXES.

In North Carolina the State levies
- cents on each 800 worth of
property-all told-for general eX-
penscs Of the State Government,
pensions and schools, interest on the
/ per cent bonds. etc, etc. The
counties rarely levy more than a like
amount, many not more than hall so
much In addition to this the larger
towns and cities levy from S1.O0 to
$40 on the same valuation, thus
making the entire tax on the 800 Of
value from $3.50 to 1926.
The city of jersey City, New Jer-
sew, alone. levies this year $3.50 on
the 800 of value, and the authorities
thereof congratulate the Taxpayers
on the prospects Of reducing this to
$3.50 next year.
And when we remember that the
property in this State generally is
| value, the low rate of taxation in
| conservative old North Caroiua be-
comes apparent. Let us stop our
calamity bowling and trying to OPP
press somebody. -Raleigh Post.
II the Post had said property in the
| State generally is not assessed at one
| third its cash value it would have
come nearer to the truth than in say
ing two-thirds. Whatever is left to
be valued by the tax payer himself
'.ain't worth much" when giving in
time comes. There is no other thing
under the sun about which people
violate their consciences so much as
when giving in their property for
! taxation.
The tax rate in North Carolina is
low when compared with some others.
but we believe that if property was
listed at its true value one-third the
present rate would raise all the
revenue needed by the State. In this
way people would pay no more taxes,
possibly less. than under the present
method, and this odium of false
swearing when listing would be
largely removed.
Take Greenyille for an example, as
the question of taxation is now on
the minds of the people here. The
tan list returns for this year Of al
property, real and personal, every,
thing that is taxable. does not quite
foot up 500, 900. In making q calcu
lation as to the needed revenue of the
town for the year the Board of Alder
men found it necessary to raise about
$1,000 in taxes. therefore thew made
4 levy Of 60 cents on the 500. If the
property of Greenville had keen
listed at its true value the levy need
not have been more than one third
the present rate.
Does anybody suppose for mo-
mcnt that Greenville is worth onl,
500, 200? If they do, and VIII Jus,
start around to see what the town
can be bought fer they will find thai
counting every foot of land and every
dollars worth of property it coult
not be moved for $4,000. 900. Sec
the difference If the aggregate o
the listed property of the town wa.
S2,OOO,O0O instead of only 500. 900 :
tax levy of 20 cents would be sufficient
to raise the needed 81 900.
What is true of Greenville in thi:
respect is true of every town in Nortl
Carolina. We only use this town a:
an illustration because of knowledge
of the home figures, but the con
dition applies to the entire State a:

TRIBUTE TO THE PRESS.

DR.. T. n. Ivey, the talented editor
Of the Raleigh Christian Adrocdtc.
speaks this of the North Carolina
Press Associations:
The late President Of the North
Carolina Press Association spoke
truly when he said: We teach more
people than all our colleges. uni
versities, and free schools combined.
If opportunity brings esponsibIlltv,
surely ours is a responsible position.
Then. brethren, let us 30 about our
work in the fear Of God and filled
with love for our fellow man" HAY
ing felt the force Of these truths be-
fore they were framed in words, we
have ever had a high respect for an
association OF editors. We joined the
North Carolina Press Association As
soon as we mounted the tripod. We
felt that we could be professionally
benefited and that we could morally
and in other ways help to benefit
others.
Not until last week was it our
privilege to attend an annual meet
Ing Of the Association. We went,
looked. considered, studied, and
came to the conclusion that we had
in nowise magniiied the importance
of the body. The Association is made
up, in the main. of an able body OF
men. They. know how to graphic
with the great questions of the day
and to publicly express their views
with the force of one who is more
used to the platform, We heard
several debates that were not only
entertaining but highly instructive.
The general desire to avoid wound
ing the feelings OF those Of other
views was very apparent. Several
measures OF Importance were CON
sidercd and materialized.
