said:
"Professor Lake has propos
ed that the North Qarolina ir
tangible tax be abolished. Thi
would result essentially in llf
ing a burden from holders c
corporate stocks and bond
and placing it on owners c
farms, homes, autos, and othe

"The intangible tax noi
goes to our city and count
governments and amounts t
over eight million dollars
year, the state retaining onl
the expense of collection. Th
removal of this tax not onl
will constitute an unfair an
unreasonable windfall for th

of the Warienton Grocery
Company through a company
of which he was owner while
serving as attorney for the
receiver.
The Bar Council contended
that by virtue of these transactions
Gilliland had committed
fraud and perjury and that
he had violated the law and
