V: - QUESTION TAXATION Revaluation Act Non-Partisan and Non-Political Guaranteed Against Excessive Increase in Taxes The Organization for Revaluation. - (By A. J. Maxwell.) None of the features of the revalu ation act is more remarkable than the manner of its passage by the General Assembly. : An. ordinary revision of the machinery act for the quadren nial assessment of real property usu ally occupies several days of discus sion in each House, and generally sharp division over some of its pro visions. The revaluation act well understood to anticipate a radical de parture from past, practice, and an appraisal of ; property at its actual value was, passed without . an oppo sition vote in either House, practi cally without discussion, and without an amendment being offered except incidental ones offered by.the commit tees which prepared the bill. This showed unanimous recognition for the necessity of the undertaking, as well as complete confidence in the work of the committees which had , carefully formulated-the plans for carrying it out.' '- . '-.' V '- Non-Partisan and Non-Political The , manner rof . its passage. -with eaipport; of ? r?ember? of both partjesj as 4 well as - tne provisions f the act. declare ltr non-partisan and non-political purpose. It is a helpful indi cation that a fundamental ; economic reform of this great importance can be undertaken without partisan disa greement upon the main question or upon the details of, the measure for carrying it out. The act gives repre sentation to the minority, party in e.ach county by " providing . that one member of the County Board of Ap praisers and Review shall' be ap pointed from the minority party, and it also provides that any undue politi cal activity by any appointee under the act shall be cause for summary dismissal. ' :'" : Guarantee Against Excessive Increase in Taxe( The act carries its own specific guarantee that its purpose is to pro vide more equitable means of raising revenue, and not to unduly increase the tax burden. When real estate was revalued in 1915 the1 total in crease in valuation was 25.72 per cent. In 1911 the increase was 32.54 per cent, and in 1907 30.38 per cent. These increased valuations did not re sult in any reduction in tax rates. On the contrary the tendency of tax rates have upon an average during thtese vears been hierher. The' revalu ation act provides specifically that not more than ten per cent increase in revenue ' shall be raised upon the re valuation at actual value in 1920 than will -be raised under the old assess ment this year, by the tate or by any county, city, town or special tax district. So the net increase in taxes under this ressessment will be less than the. increase made in any re assessment year in twelve vars. Special -Session to rix lax Kates As a further safeguard and assur ance it is provided that the reassess ment, when maae, snau noue ucu until approved by the General Assem bly, nor until the tax rates have been adjusted to the new Dasis oi vwuauuu as above indicated, and that the rates when so- adjused shall in all cases become the maximum rates until the General Assembly authorizes an in crease. -.U This provision anticipates that there will be a special session of the General , Assembly, upon' call of the Governor, about the first of July; 1920. e-;:r - District Supervisors . - The State. Tax Commission is to divide the State into ten districts and appoint a supervisor for each district. The district supervisors will be. given employment" for 'at least a year at a salary of $250 per month and actual traveling expenses, to be paid by the Stete T&wil! be expected to give their' whole time to the work. They will divide their time between the sev eral counties in their districts, co operating with the county assessing of contact between the.StotoCommuj sion and the assessing officers, ana will be their duty to see that the work is being done according to . law, and according to the same -totrpwtetaQn .nn Aimtv'. ana win oe OI ine law, i u enprific exnected to determine this by specinc expecxea w . . . assess- and aeianea iuCBiib-- i ana :!l " ;n.made in the several mems are.ucmb - . counties.

The compensation of c'ounty supervisor is graduated with reference to the total value of 5 real' and-personal property listed in his county, from; $100 to $250 per month, according to the fol lowing schedule : ::- ? - - '-' lit counties of less than $3,000,000, $100 per-month.

Between $10,000,000 and $15,000, O00, $225 per month. - . - Over $15,000,000,"$250 per month. County Board of Appraisers ; The county supervisor; or one of his assistants, is to inspect each, piece of real property - in the county, and to require the owner to give a statement under oath and in. detail as to its quantity quality and value. .Blank forms for this purpose are to be fur nished by the State Tax Commission, and are to cover such inquiries as in the judgment of - the Commission are necessary . to disclose - its real value. These statements, when .complete for a township,, are to be placed before the CountyBoard of Appraisers, and it is this board which fixes the value. The county supervisor is chairman of this . board, and . its two other mem bers are to be appointed by the Board of County. Commissioners, and con firmed by the State Tax Commission.' Appointments to be Made First Mon day in April - '-y Appointment of district and county supervisors is to be made by the State Tax Commission during the months of March and April. The Board of Coun ty Commissioners in each county is to appoint, at their regular meeting the first Monday in April, two members of the 'County Board of Appraisers and , Review, one from each political party. . These appointees receive $5.00 per day when the"Board is ,in session,' and the same mileage as members of the Board of County Commissioners. THE PIANO RECITAL There , was not an empty "seat ' in the braiy- pnv Thursdav; weri little Helen v Pugh, of Asheville, took her place at. the grand piano. The' au dience, expected an infant phenomen, even a prodigy. They heard "a musi cian able to interpret Scarlatti and Greig, and to bring out m a delight ful way the feeling of Beethoven and Schubert.- All felt that this little girl belongs.in a class with Beryl Ruben stein and Josef Hofman, even recall ing to , many Mozart at the .harpsi chord, playing his own compositions at the age of seven, as does this re markable child 'in the most naive way. - From the first t number the child held her delighted audience until their sympathetic hearts forbade them to ask for. more. ' , Some eight or ten children gave close attention to the music, when that was done crowding around the musician, as though despite genius they wished to assert their oneness with themselves. v That stateliness. of the little figure at the piano struck every one. This was no ; pose ; not the result of in struction, dimply the natural majesty of that same strange force which dubs genius without knowing what it is or whence it came. J . - Every one in the audience will be interested in the future of, little Helen, and no one will miss ah op portunity of hearing the delightful pianist of North Carolina. v- DOINGS OF THE COUNTY COM , MISSIONERS Last Monday was a ' busy ' day for the Board of Commissioners of Polk county, and many important events took place. - Under acts of the late legislature many charges were made in existing laws,, and the board had to make appointments , to ; conform with same. One of the most important was the appointing . of two assessors for the county, resulting in the appointment of Messrs, C M. Howes, of Tryon, and J .A. Feagan, of Greens Creek. Next was the appointment of the third-member of the new county board of highway commissioners. Mr: Geo. H: Holmes, of Tryon, re ceived this plum, the appointment holding- good for four years. Tax:Jisters were also appointed for the various townships," resulting as follows: ' '. ." V' J; Ml Butler, Tryon; Taylor White sides, White Oak ; J. C Metcalf, Jr., Saulda;. J. W. Jack, Columbus; C. W. Davis, Grepns .Creek; : A. Wom ack, Cooper Gap. v A genuine surprise- was given the board when it was made known that owing - to a surplus in the, treasury, the salary of our county-, agent J. R. Sams, would be met by the state and federal boards, vthus - relieving the county of this duty for' that per iod of time. . , 1 - " . . Hired Hessians.

April 5.il919. Dear Mr. Copeland : .. . . . Knowing: as I do that ''you people v at Tryon are, in a section'-where the biggest sums of money can be made out of the peach business, I am con strained " to write this letter for, the good of that community, as you know, , I was once -an extensive peach grow er in Georgia, , and know the peach business from selecting suitable groundf or an orchard to the receiv ing the cash from the large , fruit dealers in New York. , . ' I know that when the last peach is in and gone from Georeia. the fam- j qus Elberta js from; one and a half " to two weeks later at Tryon, which would fill in ; that notch of time be tween the Georgia crop and that of eastern shore of Maryland. i.- "c" me vreorgia crop comes in, vii tttcuuut oi me crop uemg- so heavy the price ranges from $1.50 to $1.75, and. as soon as the last Georgia peaches are gone, the" price in New York and other eastern cities jumps up ta $4.50 per erate. Now that is why I know that the Tryon people are in the midst of a gold mine, and "don't: know it. East suinmer one year ago the peach crop of Georgia brought : $3,- ' 750,000. Would the Tryon people like to have an income of $50,000? Of that same sort of peach money and a large portion of that amount clear 'profit? ' v' If you Would, then get busy and interest your Northern friends who like to visit Tryon and form a joint stock company and get ready to plant at least ten to fifteen thousand trees , next winter. It would be a money maker and pay for itself every year . after it comes into bearing, the-middle of the third year, v , The stock : would sell two for. one at least, very 7 soon. ; ' '. i ' '' . If I had time I would -like to ad dress a large audience of ; your Tryon people on this most important sub- 1 ject, and tell you what lands are the best adapted, and now to prepare the .ground and,, dig r the .holes, and select and. prune: the .trees, : and fertilize them and cultivate the ground f when to gather the : fruit, how' to : crate, and where to' ship, and do my, ut-. most, to make your people realize ' what a God-favored section that south side of Tryon mquntain is for peaches.
