L. Raper, head of the department of
economics at the" University of North
Carolina, and dhthor of* several
hooks In the field of finance, in dlscusalng
the present method of taxation
and the deficit In the treasury of
North Carolina, says the renermi
property tax, which is the big source (
of revenue in this State, muet either 1
-fee-abandoned or?be?administered
with the utmeat ability and justice. Looking
to this end of equitable assessment
of taxes in this State, Dr.
Haper advocates the creation of the
office of a state tax commissioner, citing
the example of West' Virginia,
one of the most succeafdl eastern
8tates in the matter of taxation,
where such an office is a factor in the
taxation machinery. Further, the
economics professor urges the mak- ^
ing of the county as the iinlt. instead
of the present unit, the township.
