SINGLE COPY 5 CENTS OASTO MAYORS, LEGISLATORS AND OTHERS INSISTING ! ON AN EXTRA SESSION1 Tax Trouble Sufficient to De- mand It, They Assert Pub lie Fundi to Shrink Some thing Must Be Done to Fill the Hole Left by Reduction in Valuations. W. T. Boat in Greensboro News. Raleigh May 5. Tax troubles Midi- cient to briug au unwilling governor terms on a new session of the general to !IS- sembly are asserted by mayors, farmers. M.(.k ,.,,,,,.,,,;, and legislators, many of whom lire in Raleigh this week. The reductions under (he act wqyhl not of themselves i trouble. There are counties revaluat ion a use all the though, in ! which half the realty has been ttivejit from the revenue books by order of the eounty commissioners. There are few of these, of course. All told it is not like ly that more than ,'Ut counties will dis turb their valuations enrporulely ; but there is hardly any county in which there will not be a vast aggregate reduction of revenues. As an illustration of the way I his will work, a Wake county fanner ami large realty owner has property in another! part of the stale. He bought it low,' nay for lf.'l,.r)lMI. The assessors m -reived , their courage up to the point of assess ! inir II ul (Kill I'n, I,. i- ,-.o r.l,e,l i.o, ill uu I, lit nn I I,.. lfivl.,...Lu .,t t K I II II I II..! does not wish to sell his farm because he believes in lauds hut lie would take i half the price placed on it by the ri val nation. The couiinis.'-nunis have a stand ing invitation to sell it at any time I'm 19,000 net. They will be driven to re lieve that man. When the many thousands have been treated the same Vay the revenues will have melted. There is no way to avoid this shrinkage of values. They will a mount to inanyhuiidi'ed thousands in taxes the state over. That will leave a hole in the state treasury and Hunt-thing must be done to close it . Therjj there must be a big increase in the personalty exemption. The logisda turt of 1911, foreseeing that somebody might attack revaluation, made itself olid with the "pore man'' over whom had been spilled mine scalding brine than hail been caused by nil the wars since Nam son hcancd the Philistine s with the least warlike instrument of a mule. While unsuccessful attack was being made ou revaluation uncommonly eessful appeal was going out to " poor man'' who was getting an eniption of $;ilill. This covered wealth of about in per cent of the era. It was absolute death to the publican campaign. Defeating no mocracy on a revaluation that gave such a block of voters as that .ss J 7 Stic the ex the Vot- iie De to e eniption not hitherto enjoyed, was hope less. And if the tax hook had gone out tinon enough the majority would have been bigger. BUDGET BILL IS READY FOR CONFERENCE WASH l.NftTOX, .May tt.
