THE TAX.
Senator Charles French Toms, of Hen
dersonville, Has Introduced a Bill
Asking for the Repeal of This Bur-
den.

This unjust and Ubiquitous taxation
placed on the ~merchantile interests in
North Carolina has brought forth the
unanimous disapproval of the trade and
the press of the state. No Just reason
can be shown for this additional levy
n no circumstances can warrant the
imposition of ajax h is not imposed
equally upo all industries. No one has
ever contended that this tax was equal.
therefore, the principle is not in accord
with American ideas of fairness and
justice. The mercantile interests Of
North Carolina should be treated with
fairness. and this system of levying an
additional tribute for conducting a le-
climate business conveys to the mind
of those who wished to build stores and
invest capital in building up the cities,
towns and rural districts of the state,
that their business is the prey for the
Legislature to relieve any financial en-
barrassment that may be visited upon
the state.
The state auditor has shown by his
A(pOlL ludL IHe lax VALUATIONS nave
been increased about $120, 900, 900 more
than recent valuations and that the
state will receive about $500, 900 from
this source. No one can deny that the
mercantile interests of North Carolina
are among its most valuable possessions
or that the merchants stores, goods,
wares, merchandise and other property
does not contribute to their proportion
ate part of the taxation. The merchants
OF North Carolina are among the states
best and most influential citizens. Their
every day life is business. They recog-
niZe that taxes must be levied far the
support of the aged and infirm, the deaf,
dumb, blind and the afflicted, hat edu-
cation and good roads are necessary.
1t is admitted without argument that
they favor all progressive movements,
and are the liberal promoters of all local
public enterprises, and their trained
business minds canno conceive why
their business should be taxed out of
other legitimate interests. To relieve
this embarrassment and to wipe out of
existence this unjust burden Hon.
Charles French Toms, a membe of the
senate of North Carolina, has introduced
a bill to repeal this tax. Senator Toms
is a lawyer of experience and ability.
He has served his state in other capac- |
tiles, having been the solicitor in the
Western Criminal courts, and is now
the counsel for the county of Hender-
sonville, where he is connected with
many other large business enterprises. |
Senator Toms, though a lawyer, has
had d fine business training and recog- |
nizes the unjust burden imposed by this
merchants tax. He is a grandson Of
the late Geo. r. French, the founder of
the well known shoe house of Geo. r. |
French & Sons, of Wilmington. and is
q son of captain NJ. c.. Toms, who for |
more than thirty years conducted the
largest retail business in Henderson
county. The bill introduced has been
referred to the Finance committee, to
whom the petitions of the merchants of
North Carolina will be presented.-The
