Read Cameron Mosrison's Position About Taxes
' -I '. ' '
Knowing that the people of Robeson County are deeply interested in taxes and as I have asked you to support
me in my campaign for the nomination for Governor of t; North Carolina, 1 believe you are entitled to know my po
sition on the taxationqu estion. My views now and theposition I shall taek if nominated, are, briefly as follows:
1 . The Revaluation Act is a temporary relief measure and should not be made permanent in this State.
2. The State should levy no tax on property, .real or personal for State purposes, but should raise its revenue
from income taxes, inheritance taxes, privilege taxes, licenses, etc. Taxes on property, real and personal, should
only be levied by the counties and towns in which the property is situated. Each county should place the value
onk its own land as it has done in the past, and make only a sufficient levy to raise enough taxes on the property sit
uated in the county to pay the necessary local expenses, such as schools, administration of county affairs, etc. In
this way each county would do its own taxing, and valuing property and fix the rate of taxation on land and person
al property.
In other words, Robeson county would attend to taxing is own property and the tax commission at Raleigh
would have nothing to do with the fixing the value of Robeson County lands. As I stated in my recent speech,
"I do not believe the Democrats of North Carolina favor giving all rights of taxation into the hands of the few men
in Raleigh, for the people do not want the bridle of tax tion put on them by a high-riding set in the capitol, who
will drive them at their own pace. Local taxation is a" local matter and should be handled locany.
I am in favor ol
a 1 .
at lease one generation, ana tnus lessen the burden ot taxa tion to oav
that those who have borne the suffering and burden oJF the war should pay all the cost of it, but that it f should be
spread over a period of thirty or forty years,' and this plan would relieve the high cost of living more than anything
that could be fairly and safely done. . , ........ , ,
f the Democratic party demanding that the unpaid part of the war debt be spread over the life of
ation, and thus lessen the burden of taxa tion to pay the enormous cost of the war. I do not believe
I know the people of Robeson County, having been born and raised in an adjoining county and having often vis
ited among you, I therefore feel that 1 am wejl prepared to! understand your needs. It shall be my pleasure to help
you, if I am elected Governor. . ..
Yours very truly, ;
CAMERON MORRISON
