MILL ASSESSMENTS REDUCED.
State Board Fixed SO Per Cent Basis
Instead of co..

Columbia, July 20.-The State
board of equalization decided this af-
ternoon, by a vote of 33 to 8, to as
sess cotton mills, cotton oil mills and
fertilizer plants on a SO per cent basis,
instead of 60 per cent as formerly.
This action was taken upon motion OF
Mr.. John Shuler, of Orangeburg, fol-
lowing the argument earlier in the
day of Mr.. F. Barron Grier. and sew
eral speeches this Afternoon on the
matter. There was a proposition to
make the assessment on a 40 per cent
basis, but this was withdrawn as was
the proposition to assess the corpora
tions on the same basis as heretofore
with the understanding that on i'm
provements the basis should be so per
cent
Mr.. Grier represented the cotton
mills of the State, through the Asso-
citation, while the mills are not fully
satisfied with the so per cent basis. II
is realized that this was the hest tha,
could be had.
Tho most vigorous argument
againg' the action talcp by .he board
was that of Mr.. jeremiah Smith, Of
Horny, who said that the coastal
lands are assessed enough now: that
there Is much real estate that Is val
ueless to the farmer on account of
swamp lands and other property that
does not produce anything, and that
the farmer Is now bearing sufficient
taxes. Mr.. Smith. who made a prop
osition at former meeting that 100
per cent be the basis and over whose
protest the 60 per cent basis was
adopted. declaring that although the
land values have been increased the
same has not been true of the prop
erty under discussion. He made an
impassioned plea that the motion of
90 per cent basis be killed. The vote
on the Shuler motion resulted.
