Phoni 137 International Riding Two Horse Cultivator Dealers in Tradoiti and all : Modern Farm Machinery Wagons and Binder Twine Liberty Machinery Company L. H. SMITH, Proprietor Liberty, N. C. (By A. J. MaxwelL) The press of the State has a large share of responsibility for the unani mity with which the recent General Assembly passed one of the most thoroughgoing revaluation acts ever adopted in any State. Its continuing cooperation is essential to the suc cess of the work undertaken. It is my purpose to ask publication of a short article once a week for several weeks on some phase of the tax prob lem, in as many papers as will give space to it. as well as to ask the con tinued generous cooperation . of the press ,on its own initiative ;n keeping the matter before the public and in fairly presenting the plans and pur poses of this great undertaking. Prop erly understood it should have the co operation of every man who wants to pay his equal share of taxes and no more, its success depends upon the cooperation of the public, and upon its success depends in large measure the future progress of the State. North Carolina is more distinctly a State, and less a combination of one hundred counties, since the recent sea sion of the General Assembly. It broke new ground in many lines, but all of its furrows lead to the realization of a more compact State. In this respect tne recent session of the General As sembly was epochal. In public schools, public health, public roads and in tax ation its enactments show more than a tendency in this direction they practically establish State systems. Ine Legislature came to Raleigh with a full realization that a comnlete revision of the tax Bystem of the State was the fundamental reform that not alone the State agencies of helpfulness in all lines were dependent upon it, but that the counties, cities and towns had reached the limit of endurance and progress under the old system and old methods. A complete new order of things was demanded not 'Only to relieve tne un reasonable and steadily increasing tax. rates, which will reach a point of $3.75 this year in one of the greati cities of the State, and to give a more; equitable result as between individual taxpayers by a more accurate valua tion of property, but it became a necessary prerequisite to the new policy of State-wide dealing with othei public questions. If equal school fa cilities are to be provided by the State in all the counties of the State, and if other great undertakings are to be handled in the same way, the State must of necessity see to it that there is a uniform system of taxation uni formly administered in all the counties of the State. If money is to be drawn by the State from one county to main tain public schools and build roads in another, as will be done under legisla tion enacted at this session the State cannot escape responsibility for re quiring that the property in eacu county shall be valued in the same way and up to the same standard. The Legislature also came to Ra leigh with a full realization that an accurate valuation of all the property of the State was a large undertaking, requiring not only adequate organiza tion and means, but time in which to make adequate tnvestigations. Ays will to do equity, without the meahs, is impotent. So its first definite cbn clusion was that this work should not be hurriedly done that it would not undertake to have real estate re valued at all for use in the year 1919, but that it would give all the time possible for the prosecution of this work by giving a whole year more of time than has ever before been given n this State to a revaluation u; piuy- ertv. The mactunery 01 w valuation was enacted in a sepinu hill. Subsequent articles will treat of Afferent sections and provisions 01 this act. Tax Listing for 1919 The usual form of Machinery act J '. i-V- mamma nrt !- "ft QTlf was reenaciea wiui wnue amendments, for the regular listing of personal property this year. The Rnorri nf County Commissioners in the several counties win appoint, m their regular meeting in April, town ship list-takers for taking the lists of personal property the usual way in ft, ntnntha nf Miiv and June, and will hrinc- forward the old valuation of real property.

These are the only material changes respecting your tax list for this year. The next article -will deal with some features of the revaluation act. LIFT CORNS OR CALLUSES OFF Doesn't hurt!
