Oa Griffin Charge "Mr. .1. S. Orifliu has eiilainil that no member of the Tan Cominifinn had any thing to dn with, or knowledge of. the appointment of the committee thnt etainined mid reported on this tobacco, which report is largely relied on by Mr. Watta and his associate!.. The Tirx Conintjasinn had great respect for the gentlemen who nunlo that report. It was nn unpleasant public, duty not to accept it although the Commission was not direelly responsible for their np poietini'ot. Itut the opinions expressed 111 it did nit line up with the known nnd minified facts in the ease. Mr. Watts and liis assneintea finally have not themselves followed thn reeo.n luemlatioin in that report wilh' respect to the American Company, presumably for the reason that the values reeom tnended by the Committee were less than those originally returned by the Company itself. "The Tint Commission was embar rnssed by the opinion! of expert! nnl friends of these companies, but these opinions wouldn't lino up w ith the known facts anil these gentlemen had necessar ily formed their opinmi! from the et pnrto representations of the eompirnies interested, just ns Mr. Wntts nnd his Hoard, of Liiualv-at b. did.

Willi knowledge of tin good faith with which nnd under which tax payers, big and little, all over North 'Carolina listed their property in 1920 at full value, with no effort to scrrle it down to sixty per rent of cost on a previous loner market, this rebate of thil great sum of money to these great and prospermia corporations, npon nn eg parte hewing of themselves and their ohligirtg friends, without a like scaling down for other taxpayers, bi and lit'le. is a great public wrong tht erica aJoud for remedy.
