EXEMPTING FOREIGN CORPOR
,J ,w- A!!^S|The
law exemping stock of foreign
corporations owned by resident
North Carolinians from direct taxa~
. lion is being roundly abased by
many, snd highly praised by. others.
It is, trnly, tlte finest opportunity
' for the demagogue imaginable, for
it,is so easy to incite tp wrath the
masses by telling them that all legislation
today is in the interest of
the "rich against ttb poor?and, un,
1 . ?? ;?J' fortunately,
most cf them will faVT
for it. We know, at first blush, the
average man is likely to oppose the
law exempting stocks for the simple
reason that tlte average man- owns
no stock, but when the matter Is
thoroughly investigated we belidVo
many will conclude it is a good law.
... - mtv i-arxer, wno piloted it through
tils House; says in a recent eommuni-'
nation:
* Another reason for this law is thnt
the exempting of these stocks from
direct tax offers the only hopefor a
decrease in taxes on" small homes and
farmed Tile provision fqr a six months'
school term is written ip -oar constitution
agd is, of course, statewide.
It was adopted by the vote^of all the
people of all the counties. It is what
the people have, said is necessary for
.<*' tlte children of the state, therefore
this six months' school term should
-- ?< be provided by the-state and the deplorable"
and ^detestable system' of
forcing msny . counties ?to Come as
mendicants .and-called pauper coun-.
ties to' enable them to have t!JT six
moths' school , term should be done
-.air nway with."In almost every instance
the largest sjngtr if<fm of tax levied
by UV county is for the six month.?! .:
school term. If the state could run J
the schools fpr six months,wthe coun
fc? pkri.-not ^evy.-tMS trtivect pyoSesty
" we*rftuat provide fnfc'nn _
state income and simply* to change
from a, county direct to a state di?
rect tax w^d offev no relief. If, by
preventing merTowning foreign stock
froiji leaving the state and if by encouraging
such '
the state, we can increase the -amduirt
the state receives from income and ,
inheritance-taxes, tb?n the state can
take gharge of and run these schools
nntf the counties can relieve their
burdened home owners . and farm
^owners from a part of the direct tax
noiw-levied. #:s law is the only hope
held out to bring about this most desirable
condition."
Very few of our readers knpw Mr.
Parker, hut the majority d6 know
Mr. Clarence Poe, editor -of the Progressive
Parmer, who in discussing
"Whst Ihp North Ornlina l.rgiala. .
tore Did?and .Left Undone," says:
About ?otne ntlJjr mattets that have
aroused much discussion we refuse
to become excited one way or the
other. It ie our belief, for example,
that the liberal and progressive forces
of the State are 3hking a mistake
in laying?so mupH emphasis -on the
fact that persons holding stock "IrT
corporation! operating outeioe .North "
Carolina wiu not nereaiter list these
aharea f!>r ad valorem taxation. TWe
writer doesn't own or expect to own
any each shares.: and nobody be
lieres mure strongly then we in put-?
ting more of the tax burden on {Re
" wealthy and less on the poor; in 1920
f~~wt wwkwf ' day ?for thai
-?-?income tax amendment,?which fth jgfc
least made it possible for North
Carolina to tax incomes from property.
This year we favored Senator
cofrld taxes <iu lu d innr ciift on TScomcs
exceeding $25,0Q0. . .
50 ' Hut wihle insisting on puttine
El'-- ' V'...
r
more of" the fax burden on wealth
- - -r
and less on the poor, let- ua be (air. n
EapiJ corporation is required to pay- 4
tax git; its property, jOst as each '
landowner is requited to pay oji his
lpnd. /V share of stock in' a company i
is like trtdeei tn a piece of land. No <
one weuld say, "Tax the land and al- '
to tax the deed lo the land." There
seems to us qs little justice in tax- c
ins a company on its- property and i
then taxing tfii stockholder on. Jtls
shares in the taxed company. And if J
this is recognised as just in the case
if North nflrrtllHB MmnoniM in it
not also just in the case of companies
operating outside North Carolina
t"
Sp, after reading much pro ah J
con""wo believe you have no cause to
get-excited over this law, for, in the
end, it will be the means of reducing
the taxes of the "poor_ farmer,1'
?the man who tHs demagogue pre,,
tends to have such love for, and is the
only way whereby the State will ever
be able to pay the entire cost of
running our public sctiools for six
months in-the year. We all know our
school tax is the major part of our
taxes, and with this' off we would
have Httle" cause to worry over the
tax situation. r

deficit in the State's finances wWen
Mr. Maxwell threw the . mqnkey
wrench in the machinery, but if there
are Inany" more suits to be defended
by the State tiJsre will be one all
right. We see it "stated that the fees
