Ux\'T!MF.LY CRITICISM
North Carolinians aVe jjtnerally
considered falrminded and equal and
cxact jiistice to all and special priv-
ilejjcs to none is the basic principle
of llu volivical }arty which has con
trolled the machinery of the State
fcovcrnrr.ent since it was wrested from
the fus:on'sts under the leadership of
C. B. Aycock and F. M. Simmons in
the iuc’iiorable canipaig:n of 1900.
This con:moiulable priiiciple actutates
every i-urpose of the party of good
fTCvernment in North Carolina and is
the chief source of its strength. It
seokr to do justice to each and every
citiion, r.nd would have all classes
and conditions share a fair and just
proportion of the State’s operating
expenses.
An c'qitable distribution of the
ta:;cK collected from the people has
lot;:: been a vexing problem, with
th<‘ result that jitizens of the moder
ate cl:is3 and those a trifle removed
tov.ards the big business circle have
beer paying- taxes out of proportion
to the assessments placed upon the
holdings^, of their wealthy neighbors.
The Equalization Act passed by the
rcccnt General Assembly seeks to cor
rect this evil by placing all property
on the tax bol;?s at actual value.
By all property we mean that no class
of citizens will escape this year. It
means, also, that no discrimination
in the value of property is to be al
lowed. It means state rather than
county regulation, so that imaginary
county lines cannot figure in proper
adjustments of equalization plans.
It means that the new tax law was
conceived in a spirit of justice to the
man in the cottage as well as the
lord of the mansion.
Despite the effort to adjust th^
burden of taxation in the interest
of the average citizen, who feels that
ho has been taxed to the limit, objec
tion is offered to the plans recently
worked out by the State and some
folks, w'hose property has been listed
far below its actual value, are com
plaining that assessments under these
regulations are too high. They for
get that the main purpose of the new
lav,' re;;nl?vting the question of taxa-
j tion is to correct inequalities and that
i a uniform rule must be rigidly applied
I to attain a proper solution of the is-
: sue in question. .Higher values mean
' a lower tax rate and no citizen who
j has been contributing a just propor-
j tion of governmental expenses need j
j hr.ve any cause for alarm. Criticism i
i at this time is unwarranted and it!
I I
i comes mainly fro;n th030 w^o have i
I been shirking a plain duty for f.ll i
j these years. Too much of the State’s ^
j wealth has been in hiding and the I
' I
time has come for a show down. |
1 There is not a law uoon cur statute 1
' ‘ I
, books that Vv'as conceived in a sifirit'
\
. of injustice to anyone. The party in '
^ power in this commonweaith is the :
parly of the Constitution and of the
i people; it upholds the Constitution
^ and protec'^s all the rights of all the
i)cc2')le. It K.oos not believe that any
man or set of men are entitled to
j cxciusivc or seperate emoluments or '
privilege?., and all men, ail interests
I and all corporations in this State are j
' entitled to justice and equulity before |
j the law. Hitherto it has been impos- |
sible to accurately estimate the wealth |
i of our great State. This year is a I
i !
I true story touchmg its values in prop- j
crty is to be related by the people !
themselves and North Carolina will'
hereafter take her place amongst the
rich states'with a low rate.
The ^air-minded man will withhQld
criticism until the work of the re-valn
ation has been completed,'or just and
equal taxation cannot meet with hon
est opposition. No class, saving and
excepting the tax dodger, is going
to have any reason, or excuse for
complaint.
