Discrimination Agoiml Forgone.: Property Ha* Bean Remove

quired—To br Listed r.s of January First and Why—$30
Exemption Allowed—Form Products Listed at Nat Vale
Above Indebtedness.
The Revaluation Act comprr he,«
aa complete and valuing of pc,
■onal property aa of real proper!]
This could only he awempliahcil j
removing the discrimination againi
undervaluation of real property.
Thia discrimination hod reached th
extreme point that a truitee list*,
ln a North Carolina city persons
property yielding an income oi fbo
and paid mure than <800 of il i
State, county end city taxes.
An array with banner* could tic
produce a complete listing of per
tonal property under such ur. igol
eon* tax method*.
Thia discrimination liar been re
moved
Real estate it lilted and value,
at conservative May 1st curb markc
value.
The tax rate* that will apply ol
personal property listed January U
will be but.a small fraction of th,
1919 ratea.
The Revaluation Act bring, tbi
measure of justice and equity to th,
owner of personal pruporty and de
«aande a full and compute disc lev
urc in return.
The same guarantee of proportion
ately induced tax rat*. that applkt
to real property applies to persona
property. Tat is to say that Iru tou
revenue collected from all property
In 1920 cannot exceed by more lhai
ten per ceat the total ie\u.iuc col
levied in 1919.
Pardon the reiteration, for 1
seems not yet to be fully understoot
f1#dgc, involving the goot
faith and honor of th* State, appliei
to the Ux rates to be levied by th<
coantics, the ritioa. towns and spec
•ol-tax districts, aa well as the Stave
tax.
Every tax rate levied in No rib
Carolina, without exception, is em
braced in He terra*, and trust be re
adjusted to the total value o* both
real and personal property listed.
Personal property will be listed ai
ef January first.
Real property that has changed

uary first!
two good reason*:
Pirvt—To give plenty of time foi
the Job. Plenty of time to have th.
work done carefully, and accurately,
and plenty of time to make inquiry
and investigation if the taxpayer ..
meeting a State that t> toting equate
—has toted equare. Most pcopiv loU
aquar* when given a vhancr. They
have toted square on their real prop
Wtf and a* a general rule have placed
• “dr value on their real property
The State doesn't tote square w li
those who do tote square unless it
give* tom* attention to the lontamu.
, minority who try to dodge even when
!.-(h< State duo tote square and thti
'-Jitmtsllbore era toting square.
.1 The Stale intends to tote M|uar
tjall the way through, and some tiro
Hand thought will b« given in eael
Iconily to locating the Us dodger;
;;jar.«i lo see Ihst they bear their pari
1; May first listing permits no tiro
I,for ih* sort uf inquiry before th
i[iiX books must be made up.
»; Second reason—Th* straight cal
.in.-lxr year is hie logical year. Jan
ilnai-y ftr.t is the time for every bod;
-jin take an annual reckoning am
■juriko n balance. Business enter
l-riarx now conduct their basincss oi
- lit.- valeiuUr year basis. They kcc]
lihiir Hooks on th* calendar year basil
ll»<lb refeniiro to all reports to thi
.iPederal Guvrrnmctit. It is unreason
able nnd illogical for the State ti
i require an aeruuntlng on a difforen
. date.
No injustice Idas done by thii
thiingc in date.
i This was carefully considered bj
i the l.rjrii'lativo Committees. It sx
t fns'tlcreii that there were two par
Ciiulum in which the change mighi
res ah m increased tax upon farmers
i 1 *1 both of these provided against
The farmer needs no apoclal attor
ney ill the scat of government ir
this State. It hr » been and will lx
the policy to give hto farmer noi
cr.lv a square, but a generous, deal
Farmers make their own uri.vie
ons, nnd hare more on hand Jan
. fury first than May first. Tla ws<
met by going the full limit of ex
vfiiption pcrmitteil by the Curatitu
lion on certain kinds of personal prop
irl>. which includes provisions—
three hundred dollars in value. Ex
emption formerly nllow-id twenty
f»c dollar*. There can be applied
against this 1300 exemption provis
,ons, household and kitchet. furniture
wearing apparel, fire-arms, agricuh
turnl implements, tools of mechanics
and libraries and ac.entlftk matra
! u-.-uiW.
The moat import int difficulty was
the fact that farmer* woold have on
hand January first farm products
raised fir market that would ordi
narily be marketed by May first. If
ill debt the proceeds of the sal* would
lie applied to their d-*bts and they
. otiTd therefore have less taxable
. *f 1-ri'ty Kuy first than January first
If net in debt their tamable waallb
would be the same la either case as,
if property wote sold before May
firwt, they would have either the
money or sc,me equivalent in taxable
piopcrty.
This difficulty was met by permit
lir.g.indebti-dri<sj to be set off against
Ih'" Mtluc of ‘‘cotton, tobacco, and
■qher farm products on storage In
warehouse*, in the hands of com
mission merchants or agents in oi
oat of the State, or in the hands oj
original producers. and held tem
l»orarity for market.”
