The record of the tifty-Sixth con-

viable one. For extravaganza it has
never been equaled, and no previous
congress has ever shown anything like
the contempt for American principles
and traditions. The republican party
in 1896 promised international bimet-
alism and this congress redeemed the
promise by retiring the greenbackS
and giving the country as large a dose
of the gold standard as it thought the
patient was able to bear.

A REMARKABLE SHOWING
Practically All the Counties in the
State Show Increase.
SEVERAL PASS THE MILLION MARK
Members Of the Corporation Commission Have
Visited the Counties and They Report Big
Gains. Increase Comes From Stock
ard Solvent Credits.

State officials estimate that there will
be an increase of some thirty million
dollars this year in the assessment OF
real and personal property.
The members of the Corporation Com
mission have visited nearly all the
counties in the State for the purpose OF
consulting the county tax books, and
they have found that there have been
remarkable increases in tax valuations
in nearly all the counties.
Wake county shows an increase OF
million and half in property valua-
ton. Rockingham has an increase of
million an dthere are other counties that
will show equally as large gains. When
the total amount of property valuations
in the State has been ascertained the in
crease for the present year will be found
to be greater than ever before in the his
tory of the State.
There has been no new assessment OF
real estate, and the increase is due al
most entirely to the new revenue act,
which reached stocks bonds. solvent
credits, and the like that the tax as
SCISSORS have been unable to get on the
tax books in the past.
Mr. Franklin McNeill, chairman of the
Corporation Commission, has returned
from visit to Richmond, Scotland and
Robson, Columbus and other counties
in that section and all of them show an
increase of not less than $4,000 in tax
valuations. Chairman Mcneil is of the
opinion that the increase for the State
will be very large.
DR.. d. Fl. Abbott, of the Corporation
Commission, has visited many counties
in the State and he thinks the increa le
in valuation will be fully thirty mill
lions. "Save in those counties where
last spring. DR.. Abbott said: There
will be a remarkable showing of in
creased valuations. In very nearly all
the counties that / have visited there
have been increases. some as high as a
million dollars Next year when the
tax officers and the people become bet
ter familiarized with the new tax laws
believe the increase in property valua-
tons will be even greater"
The tax returns in the counties have
been made out, but it will not be pos
sible to secure the official figures for
some time yet. The officials who have
looked into the tax returns in the coun-
ties are satisfied that the increase in tax
valuations this year will be by far the
largest in the history of the State.
