TAXES IN N. c. AND S. C.
Taxes in South Carolina Much
Higher Than in North
Carolina.

Quite a deal of interest has
been created over the State by
the comparison of the taxes paid
on adjoining lands in North Car
olina and South Carolina. The
Palmetto States taxes are vastly
higher, and the return there
from is not nearly so great as in
our own State.
The following appeared in the
News and Observer, of Raleigh,
on October 21st, as an editorial.
The accompanying letters ex-
plain themselves:
Taxes in North Carolina.
No tax system is perfect and
no doubt the coming General
Assembly viii find some places
whereo ur system can be i'm
proved. There was much dis
cussion and debate which pre-
ceded the chaneg il Governor
Bickett's administration where
by the State levies no tax on
property an dthe counties levy
no tax on incomes and other
sources which are set aside eX-
clusively for State needs.
Compared to the tax system
of other states, that of North
Carolina is shown to be better
than theo peration of the system
in vogue in South Carolina. In
a recent speech in Ellington
Governor Morrison pointed out
the difference, and to make his
illustration concrete presented
two tax receipts on land owned
by Representative W. N. Everett
of Richmond county, some of the
tract being in North Carolina
and somei n South Carolina. The
| statement and comment by the
Governor made a marked i'm
preston upon his hearers, and
in order that our readers might
get the full facts with relation
to their difference, The News
and Observer addressed a letter
! to Nj. Everett at Rockingham
asking for all the facts, and he
writes as follows: m--

DEMOCRATS are in line for the
greatest victory in North Caro-

can but be contrasted with the

when the Republicans were in
control backl in the 'nineties.
The future most certainly should
be judged by the past.

from Mr.. LeGrand in which he

Mr.. Everett's reply will interest

Rockingham post-dispatch., 1922-11-02
Dear Mr.. Daniels:


Dear Mr.. Daniels:
I have your letter of October
the 7th asking for information
about the taxes we are paying in
North Carolina and South Caro-
lima. The farms which the Gov
ernor uses as an Illustration do
not belong to me individually,
but are owned in common by my
brothers and sisters and myself.
In making calculation for a di-
vision where we were unusually
careful to put a correct appraisal
on the property in North Caro-
lima and South Carolina, the to-
tai showed approximately the
same values lying in each state.
Under the revaluation law,
the property, real and personal
in North Carolina, was fixed at
$61, ,040 and the tax thereon for
1921, $392.SO. The values fixed
by the South Carolina authori-
ties, both real and personal, was
$34, 1886 and the tax thereon was
S1,O14.57.
1T is not necessary for me to
go into an analysis of what we
get for this tax money in North
Carolina and in South Carolina,
further than to say that in
North Carolina the value of the
roads to our operations is worth
more than the tax we pay. This
leaves out of consideration all
other objects to which money
raised b. taxation is applied. In
South Carolina, or at least in
that part of South Carolina
where our farms are located, we
have no roads and get very little
benefit, either directly or indi-
rectly, from either the state or
county government.
May l say in passing that al
though we are now in the midst
of the ravages of the boil weevil,
our lands in North Carolina will
well sci for at least as much as
they are valued at under the re-
valuation machinery.
The Governor has the tax re-
ceipts for 1921 covering the
above amounts. Governor Nor
rison used these figures in
speed he made at Ellerbe in
July. Ihave gotten a good many
letters from people in South

Mr.. Everett's reply will interest
all North Carolinians and is as
follows:
Hon. ]. w. LeGrand, Ben
nettsville, S. C.
Dear joint have your let
ter of July the 5th and wish to
say that the Everett farms in
which am interested are locat-
ed, as you know, partly in North
Carolina and partly in South
Carolina; the actual value in
money being approximately the
same. AS you know, we levy no
ad valorem taxes in the State
for state purposes but all of this
class of tax goes to the coun-
ties. Our South Carolina tax for
the year 1921 was $1,014.57; the
North Carolina tax for the same
year was S392.80.
1t costs the tSate to run it's
executive departments, it's COL
leges and its institutions, includ-
ing the Board of Health, about
seven and a half million dollars
per year, which includes 81, AGO.
90 for the public schools. You
understand, also, o fcourse, the
interest on the bonds we are
selling for the development of
our roads and maintenance of
our State road system is paid
out of automobile and gasoline
tax. The Department of Agri-
culture is self-sustaining under
ordinary circumstances; the
penitentiary makes its own way
and sometimes shows a profit.
| am attaching hereto an esti-
mate which, as chairman of the
appropriation committee, l made
up for the years 1921 and 1922.
on will note that there was an
estimate of deficit of some
thing over seven hundred thous-
and dollars, and in the event the
hospital at Raleigh should be
completed in time to take pa
tients during any part of these
two years the deficit would be
increased by approximately $780,
600 more; indicating that the
deficit at the end of the biennial
period would be approximately
one million dollars. I am glad to
say, however, that due to in
creases in insurance, inheritance
and income taxes we will have no
deficit att he end of the period,
but, on the other hand, will be
able to show a small surplus.

Fall Conference to Discuss
Division Of Work by
Association.

The fall conference of the execu-
tive committee and board Of directors
OF the National Association OF Real
Estate Boards will be held at the
Commodore Hotel in New York city
October 10 and IA, according to John
A. Petty, the secretary Of the local
Real Estate Board.
One Of the important questions to
be decided at the meeting of this
committee, which is the governing
body Of the national association. Is
the creation of divisions in the work
Of the association. 1t is expected
that the various vice presidents OF
the organization will be assigned GER
tain groups of States, which territory
will be under the direct supervision
and control of the vice presidents.
With this subdividing Of the national
organization II Is expected that the
work will be administered in much
more effective way than through the
operation of the Chicago headquar'
ters alone.
Each local board elects an eXecu.
tive committeeman as member OF
the natl0nal committee, anu III tHls
way the entire membership Of over
400 boards is represented at these
quarterly gatherings.
The Washington Board will be rep
resented by John l.. Weaver, a pas
president OF the national association.
and William E. Shannon. who is also
a director OF the national association.
Coincident with the sessions Of the
national committee group confer.
ences have been arranged for the

also secretary.treasurer of this asso.
ciation and will attend the sessions
Of both groups. In the course OF the
proceedings the local secretary will
