Becton thinks that the taxable property in Lenoirl County will appear on the xk, K a in 1920 at fifty millfon dollars instead of ten or '.wche as at ptesent. j That means that the reec estate of Lenoir County hag been assessed at only abcu one fifth of its real value, ft means that many peoplelwill have to pay more taxes, Dut K does not mean that the citizen of this county who has been listing his propertjr at a fair valuation will have to pay more. Ho may firvp that his taxes are less and hat he has been carrying more than his share of the tax burden. i Last week when the rjhd bond ' injunction suit wa? heard here, this question was touched upon. Judge Man ning also estimated the taxable property of Lenoir Coun ty virtua of. the new full value requirement to be ose tofjfty mHiipns Attorney Pou for the plaintiffs! sontended that when the Tew plan goes into effect that the 'county authorities albover the State will find it dif- ficult to dispore of the vast sums that will accrue from the taxes. Of course Mr. Pou and every intelligent citizen in the 3tate know. full well that the county authorities whose duty it is to fix the rafo of taxation, will not levy an unnecessary sum. It gftei without saying that neither the taxpayers of Lenoirlnor any other county would tol erate officials long whojwouid unnecessarily burden them with taxes. . ', S When the taxable prjperly of North Carolina is listed at its real value the gfeat rank and file of taxpayers of the State will for the! first time in the State's history pay an equitable tax. 1 Toe burden of taxes will for the 7 first time be justly distributed among all classes of peo- le, each of which enjoys the benefits of the tax expendi tures.
