THE WILLARD BILL.
SOME WILMINGTON TAXPAYERS WILL
PROBABLY CONTEST 1T.
1t is Regarded as severe. Inequitable
and UnJust-Taxpayers Called Upon
to Cooperate In Steps to Protect
themselves Against 1t.

Now that the taxlisters are at work.
taxpayers all over the state will begin
in earnest 10 cuss n discuss the bill
passed by the last legislature, well
known as the Willard BILL" which is,
in fact, an act authorizing or directing
the tax taker to inquire into and spread
before the public the private affairs Of
all who appear before him. We learn
that some taxpayers have already
sought residence in other states and
others would do so but are unfortunate
in having property which cannot be
carried away.
We understand that persons here who
regard this measure as Ubiquitous
will contest it in the courts. Along
this line the following circular letter
that is being sen out, is interesting:
"Huch MacRae & Co., Bankers,
Wilmington, n. c., May %.
Dear Sir:-Upon careful investiga-
ton of the Machinery n Revenue

in corporations outside of the state and
in railroad stocks, so severe, inequita-
BILE and unjust, that we think it would
be to the interest of all such parties to
agree upon a plan of cooperation which
would protect them against the severi-
ty of this law. If this is of interest to
you we would be glad to lave you COM
municate with us at once.
"A number of persons, whom We have
seen in regard to this matter, thorough
ly approve of making a contest.
