to pass the law? It would not mean
insurrection as The Enquirer seems
to think, but it would mean the tenn
porary political retirement Of many
members who supported it. 1t would
hurt some men Of influence-hurt
them 80 much that they would go
out of their way to defeat the man
who voted for it-but it would help
the men of little or no influence
men who could elect if they only knew
how much power they had in their
ballot.
"The cost to each county would not
exceed s75 to s100, while the law
would put thousands of dollars into
the treasury. Lots of property which
now escapes taxation altogether
would be put on the tax books, while
scores of taxpayers in each county
who are not paying their just proper
ton of taxes would be forced to carry
their share of the burden. 1t would
bring about equalization, and equall-
zation means a lowering of general
average.
"But the best feature of such law
would be the arousing of the strong,
healthy public sentiment for tax re-
form. The inequalities Of the present
tax system would be brought to the
attention Of the masses so convincing
" that they would rise up and de-
mand the adoption of new and more
progressive tax laws.
1--WE would like to see it given a
trial. The plan looks practical, but
that may be the trouble-it looks too
practical. 1t goes down too deep into
the heart of the tax problem-and
that is the very thing some folks
don't want"
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1921-10-20
'Pitiless Publicity" the Remedy.

The tax problem will not down.
The people are determined to reform
our tax laws and the indications are
that it will be a burning" issue in
the next primary. Various remedies
are being suggested. Some of them
are good while others are bad. The
Yorkville Enquirer, which has a way
of going right to the bottom of things,
rsuggests publicity-and plenty of it
as the surest and quickest way Of
bringing about tax reform. The En-
quirer says:
There has been more or less prl-
vate talk among the members of the
general assembly as to the effect OF
publicity in securing fair equaliza-
ton of the burdens of taxation in ac-
cordance with ability to pay. 1t Is a
we'll known fact that the books OF
every county auditor in the state show
fearful inequalities in the matter OF
bearing tex burdens. In some cases,
poor men struggle along under bur-
dens that mean much to them, while IN
other cases men worth ten times as
much as those referred to pay less
taxes. This situation comes about
largely through the states miserable
system of assessing valuation. Each
: taxpayer is supposed to fix his own
assessments; but the law as to the
matter is so fixed as to mean nothing
in that it tells the payer to return
his property according to actual val
ue, and then goes on to give him to
understand that he is expected to pay,
only in proportion to what other peo-
pie in like circumstances with him
pay. Some taxpayers give in their
assessments as nearly as possible on
a basis of actual values and others,
taking the other suggestion make re-
turns as small as they can get by with.
The inequality of assessed valuations
is due partly to ignorance and partly
to design. Some of the legislators
have an idea that if they should pass
law requiring all assessments to be
published in a newspaper, the result
would be to secure more equitable re-
turns; but they have not been willing
to 20 that far yet, because among
other things, they fear disturbance
almost in the nature of insurrection.
Along about 1889 the general assem-
bly, passed an act providing for the
publication of the poll list of each
county in a county paper. The act
provided for publication once = week
for three weeks, where one week
would do, and made it quite expen-
sive; but in York county alone some
thing like 700 names were added to
the poll list.
Publicity will turn the trick, but
has the general assembly the courage
