In beginning his address, Mr. Var ser stated that the question of taxes was one about which the contention for a division of Robeson hinged. In discussiong the question of taxes Mr. Varser declared that if the revalua tion law lowered the tax rate it would prove a success and if it raised it then it would $rove a failure.
