In the language of the United States Supreme Court, ;"tne power to tax is power to destroy';; It is a power to destroy either : the bad or the good, accordingly as it is used rightly or wrongly. :,-: . r It is a power to foster a sound pub lic policy or to contravene It. -. Most conspicuously, and emphatical ly i i3 a power whose control and di rection by the masterful few makes for the progressive aggrandizement of the rich and the corresponding impov erishment of the poory.ovp-? Instance the now well defined policy of this State that makes investments in corporate securities practically tax- free, lnis is a iorm ua .investment peculiarly favored hy the wealthy clas ses and which in practice is all but in accessible to the "persons of small means who constitute the great body of the taxpaying public. For ninety odd per cent of the people of North Carolina the laboring and breeding masses upon whose political virtue and economic efficiency the welfare, of the state Drincinally depends for " these undsr-millions, we say, the high mark of investment ambition, is realized in the ownership of the family; roof -tree; and unfortunately this?" modest goal is beyond the reach of the great majori- ty. ' -;;:;r-;:: We are of a race whose craving for home-ownership overmasters the lust of gain that runs to investment in tax-, free corporate securities.' Hence it Is that the savings of the- masses irseek that particular form of investment that "revaluation" taxes at 150 to 200 per cent of its normal value, with the result that the tax-free corporate se curities are left as a sweet morsel 'for the rich. ' -, ; ; ; This ia the economic process that' is rapidly concentrating all . corporate wealth in the hands of the -masterful . few, who are thus constituted as 'a px5d2s&. enjoying slmcst total exemption from taxation. . - And this discrirnination by the laws of the State in favor of the obligations of corporations, as against the obliga tions of natural persons (which latter are subject to all State, county, and municipal taxation) can have no oth er effect than to bring all forms of property except homes into corporate ownership as rapidly as the investment market can absorb the new issues-of corporate securities thus brought into existence. : t1- It will not require many years' op eration of this policy of tax-discrimination in favor of investments in cor porate securities to work a transfer of the great bulk of the productive property of the State both real and personal to corporate ownership. ft""th. the corporations owning the wealth of the State and the wealthy classes owning the corporations with an aristocracy of wealth substantially untaxed and a grunting sweating pro letariat to bear the burdens of govern mentthen shall be brought to pass the Millennium of Privilege conceived oi the cunning manipulators who now pull the wires of State policy in taxa tion. - GREETINGS! ine Federal Suffrage Amendment has been ratified by the necessary thir- ty-six states.
