Page 2 Danbury Reporter PEPPER BROS., Editors and Prop's. MARCH 15, 1911. It is only a question of time when the public roads of Stokes will be worked by taxation, and when we will have good roads through every neighborhood of the county. Sentiment is grow-; ing stronger all the time for good roads, and the coming genera- : tions will enjoy them. When we are out sleeping under the pines, and somebody else is enjoying the fruits of our self-denial, good roads will be a blessing to the county. Mr. J. E. Shelton, of Sandy | Ridge, Stokes county's biggest tax payer, is in favor of good roads, and stated the other day in paying his taxes that he would ' be willing to be double-taxed to get good roads. Mr. Shelton pays about $l,lOO taxes, and would not object to paying SI,OOO more. No one will charge Mr. Shelton with being unwise in his ideas of 1 county economy. He is our most I successful citizen. On the piece of road known as the poor house hill, about three miles south of Danbury, there are places which render it dan gerous to human life to cross. We do not know who is the over seer of this road, nor who are the supervisors. We do know that they should be, and doubt less will be sued individually for damage if some person or stock should be hurt in attempting to jump that dangerous hole. Court will convene in a few weeks, and it will be the sworn duty of the grand jury to indict these men for flagrant disregard of the law and the rights of the public. It is all right for a private in dividual to be careful and econo mical in the management of his own affairs, avoiding debt and shunning obligations for the fu ture. But this rule, when applied to great corporations or common wealths or counties, works differ ently. No one would consider seriously a railway company that tried to extend its lines on its net earnings, without borrowed cap ital, obtained at low rates of in terest. Without bond issues, the Southern railway company CDuld never have opened the South to its present enormous developments. Without bond is sues, the Panama canal would be only an interesting dream and never a reality.

S have no capitol at Raleigh, no insane asylums nor penitenitiary, j while without the benefits of borrowed funds Stokes county! would have never built the court j house, jail and bridges. The policy of paying as you go when applied to county improvements, is a false policy. It would mean that we should never "go," but remain a backwoods and pov erty-stricken section, shunned by capital and investment, and pointed at with scorn by the outside world. Mr. Robert Critz was knocked downed by a bicycle yesterday evening outside O'Hanlon's, ridden by Mr. John Shipley. He was quickly attended by Dr.E. A. Lockett, and 'ater taken to his home on Spring street. He was not seriously hurt. —Journal. 7th, Congressman Charles M. Steadman has appointed a young attorney from Alamance county, J.

THE DANBURY REPORTE* MACHINERY ACT PASSED BY LEGISLATURE Time For Listing Property Is Changed From June Ist to May Ist—Other Changes. The machinery act passed by the legislature, which provides the machinery for levying taxes is different from former acts in several particulars. In the first place, the time for which' property on hand shall be listed is changed from June Ist to May i Ist, and the date on which county | commissioners shall meet to | levy taxes is changed from j from June to August, so that all the property for assessments shall be in before the tax levy is made. Heretofore taxes were levied before the assessment was made. The principal changes from the old law are in sections 15 to 25. It is provided that the state tax commission—which is the cor poration commission shall appoint one county tax assessor, a resident freeholder of the county, and the county commissioners shall appoint a tax assessor for each township, to be known as assistant tax assessor, who shall begin their work May Ist and continue until July Ist. Heretofore the commissioners appointed a tax taker for each township and every fourth year, when real estate was to be assessed, two assessors were appointed to each I township to assess the real estate. Under the new arrange- I ment the tax assessor appointed ; for the county will visit each township and with the assistant tax assessor appointed for the township will make the assess- Wa «B' is for \mk Bliao stands for ■ best—beet family fJw. ■ medicine.

The county assessor and the | board of county commissioners constitute a board of equalization for the counties, their work being subject to review by the state tax commission. The county assessor is to be ap pointed by Apr. 1 and he can devote his entire time for three months of the year to his duties at , not more than $4 a day. The assessing of property is to begin May 1 instead of June 1. The county assessor is to visit all the townships and confer with the township assessors and in struct them in their duties and the work of the township assessor to be gone over jointly Iby him and the county commis sioners and the assessment revised. All assessments are to be made as near as may be to the true value in money. The county boards of equalization ' meet on the second Monday 'in July for the performance of their duties. Section 42, with reference to bank taxation, is changed so as to allow banks "also to deduct accrued and unearned interest, unpaid taxes, an amount exceeding five per cent of the bills reciveiable of said institution ito cover any other bonds or 1 installments of debts, also an amount equal to the value of any : shares of stock owned in other North Carolina corporations upon I which the tax is paid by the j corporation issuing same." Mr' i Doughton, chairman of the j finance committee, explained that i undrr ] resent law the banks | weiv paying more than ; their share of taxes, and the added exemption was a rec ! ognition of this fact, and while | the banks had asked for much ; more concession than this gave : them, he thought it was fair [land just to adopt the section. II Section 43, reports from corpora ! tions permits corporations to de duct "the value of the shares of stock legally held by such ' corporation in other corporations ! incorporated in this state and ' paying taxes on its capital stock in this," etc. An un successful effort was made to change this section.
