EXEMPTING PROPERTY FROM
TAXATION.

In MS address at the Bar Association
last week. Mr.. James H. Pou, took the
ground that North Carolina ought to
offer inducements to manufacturing en-
terprises. He said in that connection:
"Virginia's Constitutional Convention
is now considering proposition to grant
an entire exemption for a number OF
years from taxation to manufacturing en-
terprises hereafter established. Missis-
sippi and Alabama have given qualified
exemption from taxation to manufacture
ing concerns and afterwards generous
treatment to all that build in their bord-
ers. Now if our sister States, to the North
and to the South confer these benefits
upon Industrial corporations located there,
and If we impose burdens upon those To-
Gated here, it will not require a prophet
to fOretell our fate in the industrial flu
ture."
In 1771 the Assembly of North Carolina
passed an act to encourage immigration
into the colony. 1t exempted persons
coming Immediately from Europe from all
forms of taxation for four years 1t
was disallowed, however, by the King,
in February, 1872, on the ground that
it related especially to certain Scotch i'm
migrants, since it's provisions applied only
to persons coming Immediately from Eu-
rope, and thus might have an evil eff
feet upon the landed interests and man.
This refusal to permit laws acting as
inducements to secure immigration was
the cause of the reference to 1.-The re-
fusal to assent to laws encouraging i'm
migration" that Jefferson Incorporated
in the Declaration.
If North Carolina was ready to go to
war in 1776 partly because the King would
not permit the colony to exempt from tax
alton immigrants direct from Europe, Mr..
Pou and those who hold with him might
find in that action precedent for exempt
ing manufacturing establishments from
taxation for reasonable time
AS matter of fact, though unable to
give any direct exemption, North Caro-
lima has during all the past years given
indirect exemption by very low assess
ments. While the cotton mills were few
in number and did not pay we'll, the coun-
ty authorities assessed the property low
er than the true value. AS to the rail-
roads, this indirect assistance has been
more marked. Ten years ago the railroads
were assessed at less than one third of
their true value. Latterly, when they have
been paying handsomely, the railroads
have been assessed for taxation nearer
their value, but the litigation of last year
showed that though worth in the finan
cial centers more than one hundred mil
lion dollars, they are assessed for taxa
tion about forty-two million dollars.
With railroads, cotton mills, tobacco
factories paying better dividends than
any other property in the State, whatever
may have been the policy of wisdom in
the days when they were infant indus
tries, the time for extending to them
special privileges has passed, and they
should be taxed at their true dividend
paying value, and if there is any Unequal
ity or, injustice or unnecessary inquisito
rial features IN the new law, it will be
by the next Legislature.

than NJ alert interest. To the infrequent
visitor 10 the White House an
audience with most Presidents has
been disappointing experience.
The visitor felt as il be had done all the
talking. He had been graciously receiv-
ed. but he had brought nothing away
with him. The memory OF an official
shake of the hand and ola dignihed smile
lacked something OF the human touch.
He had talked with the President, not
with the man.
Under this consulship the two are one.
