The bill, while it imposes a tax, is
really intended, not SO much to raise
tax as to prevent discrimination
against North Carolina towns in the mat
ter of freight charges. Prominent MEM
bers of the Associated Boards of Trades
say that this discrimination is costing
the State over one million dollars, some
say as much as four million. This mat
ter is difficult TO deal with because of
the Inter- State Commerce laws of the
United States.
The bill of Senator Justice is intended
in some measure to correct such discrim-
nations, and is drawn with a view of
avoiding any conflict with the constitu-
tion and laws of the United States.
The main features of it are:
l. 1t imposes a semi-annual tax of
franchise and business of every railroad
doing business between points within
the State in addition to all other taxes,
and expressly provide that the tax shall
not be imposed on interstate business
or that done for the United States.
q 1t provides that the Corporation
Commission shall report to the State
Treasurer any act of discrimination by
the State and in favor of any point with
in or without the State.
3. That when a railroad is not reported
guilty of any discrimination the Treas
urer shall return or not collect the tax
imposed.
4. If the railroad is reported guilty
of the discrimination and pays the tax,
and contends that it was not guilty of
such discrimination it may sue and re-
cover it back.
5. Every person Disseminated against
may sue any railroad which has, by such
discrimination, violated the Inter State
Commerce law of the United States, and
recover from the road damages he has
sustained and a penalty of two thousand
dollars These cases can be brought in
the State courts by the bill, but can
be removed to the United States courts
under the Federal law.
Senator Glenn interjected some humor
in the morning session by remarking to
the President: 81 would like to hear
Senator Wellborne's voice. 1t has been
so long since he voted on bill that l
would like to hear it." This was just af-
ter a third reading roll call bill. Senator
Wellborne arose and asked to have the
bill read but learned that the firing on
that bill had ceased. Later he announced
hiv vote a. "no" on the question Of per-
hitting Clay county to vote on subscrip-
ton to a railroad, not already chartered,
even though the bill provided that no tax
was TO be collected until certain portions
of the work was done.
Senator Hicks, of Granville. strongly
disapproved of a bill which was on its
passage, providing that all sheriffs could
go back as far as 1898 to collect taxes.
He thought this put a premium on the
practice of holding up in collecting taxes
so that sherirfs might get support in cleo
tions Another wrong thing in the bill
that he saw was that innocent parties
who bought land without knowledge of
taxes due would have to fork over a
second time. Amendments offered were
adopted and the bill passed.
Senator Wellborne, (Rep). objected
strenuously to the passage of the Win
ston- Stuart Turnpike charter. He said
the bill was absolutely deficient and
