PBBTY, Chairman Bradloy. of tho Stato Board of Equalization, in talking of tho offloial action of tho Stato Board, was askod : '.What will bo tho offoct of tho law equalizing the nssossmont of cotton mills, oil mills and fortilizor companies?" Ho said : "Tho immodiato effect is tho addition of $1,403,071 of thc taxable property to tho tax books of cotton mills alono. I think, howovor, that tho most important result of tho law is found in tho fact that it reveals tho great inequal ity of assessment as betweon counties. Tho assessment of cotton mills, cotton oil mills, otc, clearly reboots tho condi tions ns to all other property in tho sovo ral counties, and discloses but too plainly tho fact thal in somo counties proporty is assessed much lower than ill others, and that in all tho counties tho assessment is far bolow markot valuo-tho basis ilxod by law." "Why did tho board lix 00 nor cont of tho markot valuo of stock as tho basis of taxation ?" "It was thought by tho board that this amount was a fair average as compared witli tho nssossmont of ot her proporty, varying from 45 por cont to 80 por cout, as I am informed by individual mem bers." "Will tliis present por cont basis havo a tendency to reduce tho nssossmont on real ostato and personal proporty ?" "I think not. All proporty is reasses sed noxt yoar. and now that wo know and havo proclaimed tho fact that pro porty is assessed ridiculously low, I be liovo an offort will bo mado to placo all property near the markot valuo. This will work no hardship on tho tax-payers, as increasing tho valuo of proporty will roduco tho rato of taxation." "Do you think tho law can bo improvod in any particular ?" "Ves, I think it should include nil manufacturing establishments, banking corporations, and, in fact, all tho perso nal and real property in tho State. I bo liovo as a rulo that money or credits, as tito caso may bo, bear loss of tho burdon of taxation than any other class of pro perty, and this is most applicable to tho privato monoy-londors. I may add that Iioor land is assessed at noaror it? mar cel value than in any other class of pro perty ; lu fact in many instances it is as sessed at 100 cents on tho dollar." "Dow do you think tho mill mon viow tho law ?" "Judging from what they havo said boforo our board, in poi son and by lottor, I boliovo they aro willing to put their property on a parity with otlior proporty of tho Stato and will accept a general ad vanco all along the lino." "Docs tho presont per cont basis, fixed by tho board for this mooting, hold good for subsequent sessions of tho board ?" "No, and it is perhaps hotter that it should not. As pointed out by Col. Orr, it would bo possible for somo corpora tions to so manipulate salcsof stock as to reduce their assossmont very much bo low tho truo markot valuo; this, 1 say, is possible while complying with tho law in making roturas, otc. "in this connection 1 may add that North Carolina proceeds in tho samo manner that wo havo dono to arrive at tho valuo of tho plant, and thoy assoss tho cotton mills at 80 por cent of this amount. This was brought ont at our mooting yesterday, when Mr, C. W. John son, of Charlotte, representing a mill at that placo and ono at Hock Hill, S. C., mado a statement to tho board."
