TAX BURDENS IN
NORTH CAROLINA.
Chapel Hill News Letter.
The cost of our State govern
ment in 1912 was $1.46 per inhabi
tant. It was exactly the same in
South Carolina. It was more in
46 Statee- In Georgia, for in
stance, it was 91.92, in Mississippi
♦2.89, in Virginia $3.22, in Wis
consin $5.27, in California $7.98,
in Nevada $10.46. „
The figures for all the States
were published in the University
News Letter, March 24, 1915.
They were taken from a racent
Census Bnrea Bulletin. , ..
Oar Coanty Tax Harden*.
Elsewhere in this issue we give
the per capita cost of Cpnnty gov
ernments in the United States in
1912, as they appear in another
Census Bulletin given to the pub
lic in 1912.
The North Carolina Club has
merely re-arranged the figures so
as to Bhow the rank of the States
in thii! particular.
In an early issue we shall pub
lish a table arranged from the
same source exhiting the per
capita cost of county governments
In North Carolina in 1912.
North Carolina Baaka 37th.
The cost of county government
ranges from 38 cents per inhabi
tant in Vermont to S2O 09 in Cali
fornia. In North Carolina the
average per inhabiant was $2 99.
Thirty-six States were more
heavily taxed for couniy support.
In Arkansas, Alabama, South
Carolina the figures are smaller
In all the other Southern States,
they are larger—in Oklahoma
$3.38, in Georgia $3 61, ip Texas
$3 65, in Keutucky $3 70, in Ten
nessee $4.44, In Louisiana $4.55,
in Florida $7.52., ~
Where Coanty Co»ti Heaviest.
The per capita burden of county
government in Oldham county,
Ky., in 1912 was $7.04; iu Troup
county, Ga., $7 52; in Dillou
county, S. C., $7.80; in Osage
county, Okla., $8.41; in Monroe
county, Mo , $9.93; in Luna coun
ty, N. Mex., $10.08; in Cecil
county, Md., $11.38; in Polk coun
ty, Tenn., $13.53; in DeSoto coun
ty, Miss., sl6 OA; in Vernon county,
La., $16.63.
But now look at Pecos cohnty,
Texas, with $45.60 per person in
vested in public progress and
prosperity! And St. Lucie coun
ty, Fia., with a county tax burden
of $53.75 per inhabitant!
The heaviest per capita county
tax burden in the United States
is $54.82 in Lincoln couuty, Mon
tana. Against such figures as
these, North Carolina's average of
$2.99 looks small indeed.- .
Where Coanty Coat* Lightest. *
In the New England States the
per capita cost uf county govern
ment is small, becauso county
government is here a small detail.
The township, or as they say the
town, is the real unit of taxation
and control. In the South the
township is merely a name on the
map. Only of late years are we
establishing school-tax units
smaller than the county.
In New England the county is
barely more than n name. De
mocracy there calls for smaller
areas of organization and control;
a thing which is worth ourthought
ful study in Southern States.
Three Rig Problems.
. The three biggest problems in
North Carolina are (1) Larger
stores of accumulated wealth, (2)
Larger public revenues, and (3)
Laifter willingness to convert our
wealth Into weal.
Our undeveloped resources call
for capital. Our .farm region*
need more cash for operating ex
penses and marketing purposes.
We need improved public roads
and highway maintenance funds.
We need to Invest liberally in
public health and sanitation; in
whole-time health officers and com
munity nurses; in hospiul facili
ties for our afflicted—the victims
of tuberculosis, pellagra, epilepsy,
Insanity,feeble-mindedneas, blind
ness, deafness, and old age.
We need more money for our
orphans and our old soldiers. We
need better school advantages for
all the people, and immensely In
creased public library facilities.
We need larger support for our
Normal Schools, our Agricultural
and Mechanical College, and onr
University.
We need greater wealth, greatei
public revenues in our State
treasury and our oounty treas
uries, and a greater willingness
to convert our wealth into welfare
and well-being. And our wealth
is greater than our willingness.
Maklag Brlrk Without Straw.
In bygone days North Carolina
wrought miracles with meagre tax
revenues; but we are now making
brick without straw. We are not
likely to work arty more miracles
under present circumstances. We
are now at the end of our tether
in North Carolina.
Tw l ltUe Per Public Iteration.
The other day the Wisconsin
Legislature voted $7,080,000 for
Sublic education alone. It
i more than the expenses of our
State government for all purposes
wbatsover.
The burden of Public Educa
tion in North Carolina is $1.76
per inhabitant. It is less in South
Carolina and Mississippi alone. It
Is more in 45 States. It is $3.48
in Texas, $4.15 in Oklahoma,
$7.48 in Nebraska, and $10.54 in
Montana.
s As a result, our public school
money, per child of school age in
1913-14, was only SB.OI. The per
capita fund was less in Mississippi
alone. It wis more that S2O pet
child in 20 States; mom than S3O
apiece in 13 States; more than S4O
apiece in 5 States; and ih N'-vada
it was $52.67 for every child of
school age in the State.
Do You Want a Good Farm in s
Good Location
HERE IT IS!
116 acree 4 miles from Greensboro, 2 miles from
White Oak 'Mills, on a public road, with a good 6
room plastered house, barn, shop and other out
buildings, a voung orchard just coming into bear
ing, one-hair in timber, well watered, adapted to s
dairying, trucking, grain or frait.
Reasonable terms can be had, and immediate pos
session given. If you wish any further information
regarding this farm, write
J. R. Hughes,
GREENSBORO, N. C.
How can North Carolina hope
to sponge out an overplus of il
literacy with a school fund that
averaged only SB.OI per child of
school age in 1913-'l4 ? .
The school fund averages of
Kentucky, Maryland, Louisiana,
New Mexico, Missouri, Texas, and
Oklahoma are more than twice as
large as ours in North Carolina.
Without larger wealth, larger
public revenues, and larger wil
lingness in North Carolina we
must be content to trail the rear
in the forward march «f American
States.
University - Shows
Remarkable Progress.
Cor. of The Oleaner.
Chapel Hill, N. \, Jan. 25.
The report of ilie President of ihe
University, just issued, shows a
year of remarkable progress lor
the institution in all departments.
The total number of students
registered up to the present, ex
cluding duplicates, in the regnlar
courses, is 1,123. The total in
cludlug the Summer school is 1,-
823. This total represents a. rowth
qjrer last year of 300, and a total
growth in the past five years of
one thousand. The patronage of
the University is representative
of the whole State. Ninety-three
and one-half per cent, of the regu
lar students are from North Caro
lina. Practically all of Its Sum
mer students are North Carolina
teachers. Nine-tenths of the coun
ties are represented in the regular
term, and all the counties in some
of its activities. All professions
and all denominations patronize
it in proportion to their num
bers.
The report points out that the
development of the State in edu
cation and in material advance
ment Is such , that this rate of
growth may be easily maintained,
and even increased so that the
number of students throughout
the year, five years from now, may
well be four thousand; but that
to meet the demands now made
upon the Institution, and the in
creased deinauds that will be made
upon it, the quality of its work
must not be sacrificed to the
quantity, but on the contrary the
standard of work offered i.n i the
opportunities offered be steadily
advanced.
The business organization and
efficiency standards employed in
the management were outlined,
showing careful economy in ad
ministration. The spirit and con
duct of the students were highly
commended. The magnitude of
the work of the extension bureau
and the new, progressive steps in
the internal administration of the
college are pointed out. During
the year a considerable number of
gifts wore received. The Summer
school for teachers for tho coming
Summer will begin June fifteenth.
Even with increased facilities that
will be offered, the capacity of
the school will be taxed by those
who will attend.
