FINANCE QUESTION WILL
NOW COME UP.
Joint Committee Has Completed
Its Draft of New Revenue
Act.
Raleicch, Feb. 22. The Joint
Finance Committee on Finance,
Senator J. P. Cook and Repres
tative R. R. Williams chairmen,
has completed its draff of the new
revenue and. machinery bills that
are to be introduced in both
branches of the Legialature early
next week, having 'placed the
bills in the hands of the State
printers for introduction in print
ed form. In the meantime,
members of the committee will
make-no statement of definite
provisions of the bills.
An increase of at least $350,-
000 in the State's revenue .is
aimed at in; the bills without, rais
ing tax levies on property. This
means something like $4;p00,000
taxes ,inste.a4 of $3,250,000
State taxes as at present. Read
justment of the machinery act is
the principal means counted on
to be especially effective in col
lecting revenue on income, inher
itances, franchises and kindred
sources. The committee expect
$100,000, instead of $40,000
from incomes; $100,000 iron!
inheritances, instead of $500Q0;

It is conceded that there will
be a special session next Fall and
indications are that it will be de

mission, have a complete new
property assessment; in the
meantime with the pledge that
no more taxes shall be raised un
der the new assessment this year
than last except as required to
provide the six-month school

Ii is learned that the new re
venue bill provides for a franchise
tax on corpbratipns of one-tenth
o? one per cent pf the capitol stock
a very decided increase over the
present ' rate, meaning that a
number otrtheJarger cotton mills
in the State, for instance, will pay
as much as $1,500 additional
franchise taxes! Also, the bill
