THE SIX PER CENT.
TAX EXEMPTION

The Business League Of the State
should favor the Senate bill 10 ex-
enpt all monies loaned at six per
cent, and in strong petition pre-
sent it to the legislature The tel
egram to the president Of the State
League shows Greenville's sentiments
in this matter
Every fair thinking man is bound
To admit that the borrower pays all
the taxes and expenses on money,
for, like Jones, who advertised he
paid the freight, the farmer or pur-
chaser of his scales paid it, as it was
added to the cost.
The high rate of taxation in certain
sections OF the State and the active
campaign OF the revenue agent is
driving money into bonded invest
ments or into other States to the
hurt of our own.
If the State would exempt six pei
cent money from taxation. more new
land would be cleared up, enterprises
started, and business houses opened,
whose taxation in a few years would
prove many thousand dollars more
than the tax she now receives on her
loans.
