MBKT ?
The following la a copy ot tie brief
read before the Court by Sen. W. M.
Person In Ma famous stocks and bonds
tax suit, which will no doubt, be ot
Interest to many of our readw i ? ?
This Is an action brought by plain
tiff against the State Tax Commission
and A. D. Watt*. Revenue Commis
sioner, asking the Court to pass upon
the constitutionality of certain ex
empting statutes peaaol by the va
lious assemblies of North Carolina,
exempting certain properties from any
ad valorem taxation whatever, and to
provide a different means and me
tho?of listing said propertied for so
la rge bulk of the property In the State
of North Carolina escapes taxation of
any kind.
Theee properties consist of stocks
capital, common and preferred, la tit*
corporations ot North Carolina amount
? ing to about one thousand millions of
dollars, which do not bttr any of the
xburiens of the Govecnment, but wtilch
are practically t&ryree, and the pre
ferfs^abeoljtely tax free.
And~~to? tSet the constitutionality of
Chapter 167, Public Laws of 1921 mak
ing certain deductions in favor ot the'
Banks of North Carolina, whereby a
induction of five per cent from (he
items of surplus and undivided pro
lits and deducting certain investments
as set out in Raid statutes. . <
Every taxpayer Is interested in the
fact whether all the property in the
State is listed for the purpose ot tax
ation aRd that all the property bear^.
: > equal burden ot Government. "Tax
are defined as being the enforced
1-i " -rtional contributions of persons
r._ property levied by authority of
the Cvle for the support of the Cov
er nu. and for all public needs. 4i
In :.?;urn for such contribution the
State oilers protection to life, liberty
and property and this Is essential to
civilization and the very existence of
the State.
The citizen pays from his property
the portion demanded, in order that
by means thereof he may be secure in
the enjoyment of the benefits of or
ganized society. The power is un
limited In ita reach as to subjects.
In its very nature It acknowledges
no limit. It is not an arbitrary pow
er, qpr can it be exercised capricious
ly. It is hedged about and restricted
by constitutional limitations and fixed
general rules.
Words and phrases 6868.
Article V. Section S. ' Laws shall
be oassed taxing by a uniform rule all
money, credits, investment in bonds,
stocks, joint-stock companies, or oth
erwise; and, also, all real and person
^al property according to Its true value
in money .
Article V, Section 5. Property be
longing to the State or to municipal
corporations shall be exempt from
taxation. The General Assembly may
exempt cemeteries, and property held
lor educational, scientific, literary,
charitable or religious purposes; also
wearing apparel, arms for muster,
household and kitchen furniture; the
mechanical and agricultural imple
ments of mechanics and f&imers, li
braries, scientific instruments, or any
other personal property to a value not
exceeding three hundred dollars.
The great question in this cause is
the constitutionality of the exempting
statutes passed by the General As
sembly and the Interpretations given
them by which a large percentage of
the wealth of North Carolina escapes
ta xation .
Nome of the stock, capital, common
or preferred of the 4,600 corporations
of North Carolina are listed in the
names of the individual stock or share
holders.

and professional artists will have an
opportunity to exhibit their works at
the North Carolina State Fair In Oct
tober, for arrangements have not only
been made tor such exhibits, but sub
stantial premiums are offered for the
work of Individual artists and for ex
hibits by schools and colleges which
will make It worth while to put on
these exhibits.
A premium of $150 Is being offered ;
for the best painting by some artist .
who Is a resident of North Carolina.
A second premium of $75 Is being of- I
tered tn this class. In addition to j
these premiums first and second money
of $25 and $10 are being offered for
the best paintings ot a portrait in oil,
a landscape in oil and a landscape In
water color. But the thing that will
appeal to the private Institutions which
teach art and to the high schools giv
ing courses tn art Is the premium ot
one hundred dollars offered to such
Institutions for the best collection ot j
as many as fifteen objects of art. In
cluding work In oil, water color, char
coal, pen and Ink, clay, also desilgn or

As a further stimulation of the ar
tlaUc In the state, the (Mr has made
arrangements (or the loan of a very
OtV* art exhibit which will be open to
ill e general public during fair week,
h'ht ic loan exhibits are rather difficult
to so cure unless there la a Ore proof
building in which they can be shown,
for they are too valuable (or Insur
ance to fully compensate a loss. It Is
haltered, however, that despite this i
handicap, the fair will have one of the
best art loan t-xhlhlts that has ever
been brought to North Carolina.
