the theory that the "exemption” will
; be Important in holding present in
vesting citizens rather than “in bring
ing back those who have left the
state.”
Senator Long stated that he was In
favor of the exempting provision of the
bill because he thought it just and, as
a policy, in keeping with the new po
sition of industrial importance to state
| has won. At the present time $750,
I 000,000 of the wealth of foreign corpor
ations is invested in this state, he
added, and wealthy operators of North
Carolina industries can not afford to
make their residence here, but must
employ others to look after their prop
erty because of the taxation of "for

i Senator Varser, in his concluding ad
dress, said tha't the constitution of the

Only five states have the exemption
that the bill provides, Senator Varser
stated, and he added that four of these
are New York, and her neighboring
states ' where commercial and indus
trial relations are so entwined, he
stated, ehat the policy is justified to an.
extent. The fifth state, he said, is
Kentucky, which "tried to entice ylch
Ohio residents across the rijbeR” Hg
stated that Ohio does not make the ex

Kentucky has remained comparatively
backward.
Senator Varser predicted that the
Democratic party will indorse the ex
