The number of charters
granted to corporations this
year by the Secretary OF State
is even larger than usual, The
official figures secured by Mr..
Hugh G. Chatham regarding
North Cardinals industries
show that there are already
in operation 5000 manufac-
turing plants, the value of
whose annual output is no
less than 800, 900, 900. These
figures will no doubt startle
North Carolinians, who are
not aware how great is the
progress of their State but
the figures have been very

PUBLICITY FOR
ASSESSMENTS.
.s.-f.s-s.


While the revision of the tax
assessment is a subject of general
interest and discussion, the sug-
gestion of the Free Press is peril
nent and timely. 1t is that the
list of assessed values of property
be published.
The essential Importance of
publicity in such a matter is self
evident. It is the best possible
safeguard against inequality and
injustice. Every owner of prop
erty, large or small, is entitled to
know not only the amount of his
own assessment, but the proper
ton it bears to that of similar and
neighboring properties. The tax
assessment is in all respects pub
lie business, and every aspect and
detail of it should be published for
the information of all concerned.
Theoretically, of course, the re-
cords of the tax Office are open to
public inspection, but it is labo.
rious process to obtain informa-
ton from them and for every
taxpayer to seek this information
for himself would be practically
impossible. The simple method Of
publication is that suggested by |
the Free Press.
If there has been inequality in
the assessments, publicity is clear |
ly the best remedy. The extent TO
which the evil may be corrected in
the new assessment can only be
made apparent by publicity.
