NATURALIZATION IN robson

The taxpayers of North Carolina are
all interested in having the property
honestly and uniformly assessed for tax
alton. II A gets his property assessed
at sixty per cent of its true value in
money" and BIS property is assessed at
its true value in money" is wronged.
In every county in the State the local
paper should agitate and build up such
a healthy public sentiment that the new
assessment will be freer from inequalities
than heretofore.
In some places, the inequalities are
said to be marked This seems to be
particularly true in the towns that have
grown most rapidly. In some cases the
inequalities in real estate assessments
are not as great as they seem in towns
that are growing, for no assessment mas
been made in four years. According to
the Lumberton Robesonian the inequan-
ties there are glaring. 1t says:
"On the whole, there is unquestionably
need of an increase in the valuation mere,
as much Of the property is assessed at
an absurdly low figure. For instance
the tax books show one lot or tract IN
the town of Lumberton, composed of
four acres, valued at $4,000 Parts or
this lot have recently been sold at such
figure as would make the entire lot
bring $4,000. In another section of the
town. 26 acres OF land, all lying within
the corporate limits, are valued at $1,000;
near it another lot with 3S7 feet front,
with a depth of about PIC feet lying on
Main street, is valued at only $500.
Another lot OF two acres located in the
heart of the town, and which cannot be
purchased at $4,000 is valued at $1,000,
while another residence lot OF one-half
the size is valued at 5000, which amount
could not be realized on it at either
private or public sale. SomG of the
store lots on Main street also, are valued
entirely too low. One we know of being
valued at $1,000 which pays a rent
equivalent to the interest on $4,000.
These are only a few instances which
might be mentioned of the exceedingly
low valuation OF property in this town. p"
The Robesonian is doing a public SER
vice to point out these inequalities. 1t is
making it easy for the tax assessors to
raise or lower the assessment as the
true value OF the property requires. The
people Of influence in every community
should give in their own taxes at the
true value in money" and uphold the
hands of the assessors in securing fair
and uniform valuation. In the past it
has been too often the case that men OF
wealth and influence have been the most
conspicuous tax-dodgers, and have
thwarted or made more difficult the work
of the tax assessors who have been
largely guided by the action of the lead
ing citizens. They have no right to be
so Influenced The law is plain. They
must do their sworn duty without fear
or favor

RAILROADS THAT DISAPPEAR.

Some days before the decision of the
Circuit Court that declared the or
ganization of the Northern Securities
Company violation of, the anti
trust law, the New York Sun had
an elaborate editorial on Railroads that
Disappear" 1t said that ten years ago
there were eighty railroads furnishing
weekly compilation OF earnings. Twenty
five of these railroads have disappeared
so that now there are only fifty-fve.
We quote:
THE extent OF railroad consolidation
In this country in the last few years Is
strikingly illustrated by the recently an
nounced merger of the Rock Island and
ST. Louis and San Francisco interests.
In combination the two roads will con-

and their combined capital stock at the
present figure Will be about 100000, 600.
