REVALUATIONS — Nothing was
said albout it in the press, but
Long John Skinner of Littleton,
big wheel of the North Carolina
County Commissioners Associa
tion, and Kerr Scott tossed some
rather sharp darts at each other
in the privacy of the governor’s
office here last week. What they
had to say in tfiat little meeting
should be of interest to every
landowner in the State.
Said Governor Scott to Long
John Skinner: “Your commis
sioners ape” too conservative. When
are you fellows going to gpt on
the ball? It is time for an up
ward revaluation of property in
North Carolina — all over the
State.”
With that, Skinner virtually
hit the ceiling. What? Revalue
property in these inflationary
times? He told of the 'revaluation
experiences of the 20’s and of
the foreclosures, etc., during the
depression. He’s agin it—dead a-
gin it. However, Governor Scott
has said privately during recent
weeks that the value of property
on the taxibooks is tremendously
out of line with its actual mone
tary value.
It is his opinion that counties
would not find it necessary to
come^crying for State aid for
schoolhouses, for instance, if they
had the proper tax programs at
home. Of course, with an upward
revaluation, the tax rate could
be lower. Is property in your
county on the tax books at a
figure far below its actual value?
Is this proper time to revalue
property? The little Scott-Skin-
ner controversy is exceedingly
important at this time.

FLOUNDEBINO — The Legisla
ture is still floundering. In fact,
the old heads here,.- including
some of the solons themselves,
agree that it is the “most disor
ganized” General Assembly they
have ever known. That seems to
be putting it a little strong, but
there is undoubtedly some truth
in the statement.
While Scott complains that
there doesn’t seem to be any
leadership ip the Legislature, the
men who compose it say they
are looking to Scott for leader
ship. Thus you have the stale-
mal;e. On roads, the governor has
pbinted the way: a one-cent in
crease in the gasoline tax and a
$200,000,000 bond issue. He asks
that the gasoline tax be raised by
the Legislature, but the Legisla
ture seems to want the increase
tied to the bond issue. That is,
to let the people vote on both
items. The executive and the leg
islative branches of the State are
at odds on this issue.
an estimated $800,000, .and the
.possible ^d to logal alcdiol in
North Ckurolii^ which will cost
the State, ii^taxes, about $7,000,-
000. These are fine suggestions
and the people, if they could
vote on them, would no doubt
stand finnly with Kerr Scott. But
where is the $22,800,000 — only
a portion of his “go„ forward”
program — going to be raised?
Further portions of his pro
gram can for $7,000,000 for ports
improvement and $50,000,000 for
loans to covmties for schoolhouses.

money coming from? ,

State institutions — mental asy

NOT SO WELL — The N. C. Em
ployment Security Commission
has approximately 800 employees^
most of whom, it seems, have
been in. a lather for the past few
weeks concerning the future of
their head man, Henry E. Ken
dall, chairman .of the Employ
ment Security Commission. A
native of Shelby and a brother of
Editor H W Kendall, of the
Greensboro Daily News, Henry
was appointed by Governor Cher
ry to this position. He’s made a
good man, but was supposedly a
Johnsonian Democrat, hence the
jitters. ■

OTHER ISSUES — On other is
sues, Governor Scott is pretty
vague. On the one hand, he wants
$2(2,000,000 more for the opera
tion of schools than the Advisory
Budget Commission recommend
ed. He wants $800,000, also from
the General Fund, for the State
Agriculture Department. But —
and this is the important point —
he makes pot one recommendation
as to where this extra tax money
is to come from. He said in his
press conference last Friday af
ternoon that' “it takes guts to go
forward”, intimating, evidently,
that the Legislature does not have
the “guts” to raise taxes. But he
makes no suggestions as to where
the Legislature can look to get
these taxes. On the contrary, he
recommends taking the sales tax
off meals, which will cost the
State around $2,500,000, reduc
ing the sales tax on farm mach-
If he does not, he has only three
brackets from which he can hope
to raise anywhere near the re
venue he will need for his “go
forward” plan.
F. H. A. Insured Home Loans For 20
SOURCES — He can raise the in
come tay, which paid the State
$58,000,000 last year. He can go
up on the sales tax, that penny
grabbing aggravation which was
put on as an “emergency mea
sure” 16 years ago and is still
hanging aroimd, bringing in $39,-
000,000 during the past fiscal
year. He can go back to a State
tax on land. Gince he was one of
the leaders in the fight to get .it
removed, he would likely fight
any attempt to resurrect it. He
has recommended decreases, in
the sales tax. As a candidate.

a very good chance that Miss

will have the honor of being the

tunity to do so and at the same
time pull into his scope of influ
ence an unusually fine legal
brain. Since it is bad to discuss
women’s ages, particularly if they

ant to remember that Misii Sharpe
