Tzgt Two THE ASHEBORO COURIER, ASHEBORO, N. C THyESDAr.rtTrr. Our State Taxing System (Address of Commissioner of Revenue A. D. Watts before the Association of Superior Court Clerks at Way nes villa July 6.) Mr. Chairman and Members of the Association, Ladies and Gentlerren: When 1 accepted your invitation to be with you today, 1 wrote that I would be present and submit a few remarks, but if a speech was wanted you should have some one else pres ent to make itr I hope, Mr. Chair man, this matter has been duly at tended to. I was asked to discuss the state inheritance tax. I have , decided to briefly discuss the system of taxa tion for state purposes, of which the inheritance tax is a part. I mean state taxes and not county and school taxes levied, collected and spent by the counties. The New System. At the last regular session of the Kenerai assembly our state inaug urated a new policy under which no nu valorem taxes are levied on pi-op- erty for state purposes, leaving all property, whether owned by indi viduals or corporations, to be taxed by the counties and municipalities ior meir own purposes, including schools, and raising the state's reve nues from taxes on inheritances, in comes, franchises, insurance policies, gasoline, licenses, fes and rentals of state property.
