AN INTERESTING COMPARISON.
Tax Levies arid Assessments
PrevioiiH to 1890 and Now.
Greenville Nona.
The Columbia correspondent of I
The News and Courier sends that j>
newspaper iin instructive table of
taxation and assessments in this |
state during the last 17> years.
From this we are reminded that
from 1873 to 1890, under the
"old ring, "state tax levies ranged
from mills, the lowest, which
wn in 188(5, to 5}{, the highest,,
which was Id 1889. In the same
period the total assessment of
property in the state ran from
$ 141,000,000, the lowest, in |
1 s8t>, to if 150,009,0^0, the highest
in 1890.
Soma people may remember
that a person known as B. R
Tillman, and railing himself a
Reformer and the "Moien" who am
was to lead the people from the
bondage of high taxes and the
wilderness of debt, frequently described
these taxes aa burdensome
and grievous, and said they di?
were caused by wastoful, extrava- W(
gant and corrupt administrations,
and bamboozled and debauched *o1
legislatures. We agreed with
him that taxes were too high and
heavy, and that there was waste
and extravagance.
He was elected governor in
1MU1. The table shows that in
ciw'ht years since that time the th
lowest stats levy has been 4^ .
mills, three years, ami the highest,
in 1 s;?2, i?A mills. In ths
Niinui period a"*e?ament* have
ranged from $ 150,000,0<>o, the
iwii, i t. ...... K1
lUTTT?*!, Ill 1 ?* " ' I * I I I I
the present figures. In other
words, the figures prove that in
the eight years of "reform" more
money has been collected from . n
the people and spent than in any,
eight years under "the old ring." f I
We go further and say that the
present taxes represent far more
bales or cotton, bushels of corn 1 ^
and pounds of meat than they i
did in the wildest daya of Radical ^
robbery.
Mr. Tillman says nothing now
of extravagance and waste, of
debauchery or oambouzling. We
hsve not changed our opinion.
Wo yet believe that there is ex-i "
%
travaganee and waste, that after
eight years of full power, after ,
the constitutional convention and i
all, the people ace bring burdened
more heavily than they ought to
be I>ur<toned. It makes no practical
difference to the taxpayer whether
the money taken from
him is stolen or squandered. lle|
lose-, it just the same.
The (Jreenville News demanded; en
rcfirm from 1SS3 to 181)0, and ':il
ins
is vat demanding it. Mr. Till-1.j.
man and Ilia friends have trie<l xr|
their hands at it and seemed to i hi:
have failed misorabl*. except that eil
they have landed themselves
numerously in fat jobs obtained ,.
