County and Phil Sawyer duces Bill to Dam BY W. O. SAUNDERS About 50 years ago some one wrote a joker into' the constitu tion of North Carolina by which most of the rich men of the" state have since heen exempt from paying an Income tax to the state. The joker, provided that no income shall.be taxed when the property from which the income is derived is iaxed. The present General Assembly of North Carolina will scrap that joker if the Doughtoh bill goes thru and the Doughton bill is apt to go thru just because it is the Doughton bill. The author of the bill himself has heretofore been one of the greatest reac tionaries in thev House and a stumbling block in the path of progressive legislation. . Governor Doughton's iax amendment bill would abolish that section of the constitution whieh ,sa.ya "no income shall be taxed when the property from Lwhich the income is derived is taxed," and provide for a uniform income tax law not to exceed six per cent. The exemptions would be $1 000 for unmar ried aad $1,500 for marned persons. The bill would also cbangre the 'Con stitution and provide a uniform poU tax f $2.00 and limit the total State and County tax rate on property to 66 2-3 cents on the one hundred dollars valu ation except for a special put pose and with the approval of the General As semby. Residence in the State, as a pre-reauisite to voting, would be chang ed from two years to one and in the precinct from six months to four. : The payment of poll tax prerequisite would be abolished altogether. .The -assessment of sll property in Korth Carolina , at Its real value for taxation, and a special session of the General" Assembly in the sximmer ol 1920 to reduce the rate of taxation form the basis of a plsn agreed upon unanimously by the joint , finance com mittee of the House and the Senate to put taxation in the State upon an honest basis. Realise of the short time left in which a revaluation could be accom plished, it is not the aim of the commit-, tee to have the reassessment completed by May of this year. But work of re valuation for May, 1920, will be undej way in the immediate future if the plans of the Finance Committee work out. " -There is no purpose in the decision ef the committee to increase the State's income in this way, but merely to es tablish a solid basis for the State's tax ing system, a system which will insure fairness on the part of the State to the people and fairness on the part of the people to the State. . It is proposed that the tax rates in cities and counties- will be lowered in the same ratio as that of the State. While the committee has as -yet fgreed only on the general policy to recommended to tne Urenerai Assem- Dly, no effort having betn made to de cide on the means to carry it out. Many bfOifivfi that the existing machinery should be used as far as possible. This would place the gigantic? task under the direct supervision of the State Tax Commission, which wou.d be entrusted j with the responsibility ; of securing - equitable reassessments of all property in the State. $250,000 Agricultural Building Governor T. W. Bickett has sent a special message to the General Assem bly reiterating his recommendation foi a new $250,000 building for the State : Department of Agriculture and recom- ' mending the establishment of thiE building at the State College. " Stock Law For Washington Dr. B. F. Halsey, representing Wash ington county, is drafting a bill to give his county a stock law. . Dr. Halsey will not Tsut the Question to a vote of his people. He says he will' trust the judgment of 20 of the most progressive farmers of his county against the: opin? f ion of the county's whole electorate. , pVHalsey is thoroly-, progressive, ancj aid to do thethfng he believes Jght.

The bill has the written approv al of the Elizabeth City Board Of Al derman nd the Elizabeth City Cham ber of Commerce. The bill as drafted and forwarded to your representative was rather loose in ;ts - construction and gave no protection whatever to land owners on Knobbs Creek who, are opposed to any dam that would back the water of the creek up on their lands. Your representative has " so drafted the act that the landowners on Knobbs Creek need have no such fears. The landpwneis are. further protected by a provision "which puts the plans and specifications for. the proposed, dam up to the Pasquotank Highway com mission. ..Any one who desire to be heard on thisVbill can get a hearing by wiring me; but I am determined in the interest. of Elizabeth City , water consumers to put this bill thru. The bill follows: A BILL TO BE ENTITLED "AN ACT EMPOWERING THE ELIZABETH CITY WATER & POWER COM PANY TO BUILD A DAM ACROSS KNOBBS CREEK. The General Assembly of North Caro lina do enact: Section 1.

The said dam is to have a' concrete wall and base, together with the necessary automatic tide gates to permit the free outflow of water when the current is outward but closing when the. current is inward, and an expecial sluice or gate to permit the passage of logs.

His recent suggestion that the Geneial Assembly consider ' the idea of taxing church property gets a rise out of John u Berry, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of X O. O. P. of North Caro lina. This newspaper is always glad to get views of its readers and publishes herewith Mr. -Berry's Conimraicauon in full: r : - - - Editor, THE INDEPENDENT:- I notice in "The Independent" under date of' January 17. you call attention to the fact that church - property in North Carolina amounting to twenty five to fifty million dollars worth, pays no taxes. You raise the question, "Wouldn't it be 'a good idea for our legislators in the present General As sembly to consider this fact?" I think the answer to this question be emphatically NO. in the first place, churches have no income except the voluntary contribu tinns of its members, all of whom are already taxpayers. To tax the church property" would be an Injustice to its members, as it wouia mean a uuuuk taxation on those "who. are supporting the churches of "our " land. Church buildings have very little commercial value 'except for the purpose for which they were erected. Very" few church buildings could be sold for one half their cost of erection for any commer cial 'purpose. There is no rental incme from this class of real estate. " In the second place, churches exert a wonderful influence in their respec tive' communities and reduce crime to a minimum.. Search the records of yout criminal courts, and you-wUl find that a. very small per cent of those who are prosecuted .pet ore the bar of Justice not-to'say convicted, are members of anv ofcurchW ever have-been.
