Uriah Farthing, Bap tise minister here, paid $30 each for two lots In Oklahoma City a few bears ago. He got tired of paying taxes on them Three months ago he offered to, five them to a brother If the latter! would pay taxes on them and two’ »ther lots, but the brother declined. Now Mr. Farthing is on his way to Oklahoma, the lots having been found to cover oil which is now pay ing him »r> income of tKM per day. Nixon Think* Over Tax Penalty Idea To the Editor. In 1893 Uie ,-iix per cent law for money was enacted. Democrats and Republican advocated this measure. But now th estate of North Carolina tuts disregarded tins law. and is charging at the rate of 12, 24, and 36 per cent for taxes due It. This in addition to other penalties amounts to more than double tax. Is our pres ont general assembly going to rem edy this? If money Is owed the coun ty.'or, state ■'■■by the poor or rich no more than six per cent should be charged. Let (lie tax be patd ’wu-ii ciue as any other high CU133 debt, Qi- parts of It, and interest charged on the balance. The United States government charges only six per cent, and allows partial pay ments, and does not compound In interest. Local democracy must be a.-: fair a.s national republicanism. When one borrows money now to ; pay tax, he must pay six per cent on [the loan, three per cent commis sions, and 12 per cent tills month on his tax, which makes it cost him 22 per cent to pay his tax, not count ing In attorney’s fees and other registration costs, which the borrow er must pay Everything is down from 50 to 75 or even 100 per cent, except money; but now it costa the poor man more to borrow than at j any time in our history. As local! property values have gone down lo- > cal money has risen in price. A piece of land, located in this county, once had a loan value of $4,000. Now It is not security for any amount. A piece of property, which cost $40,000 ns a good buy three years ago is! now security for only $7,500. This Is a true statement of values as viewed by many all over Mecklenburg, in city and county. Yet we see call money in New York at l‘t per cent. Charlotte. Feb. 20. Brevard Nixon Hoover has got his back up, but it is not the back-up that the sen ate demanded of him —Atlanta Con stitution.
