that the comptroller general will to
morrow announce th- date for the
meeting of the State board of equali
zation. The meeting is held during
the summer, generally in the month
of June or July. and the work of the
board is to act upon te work of the
county boards and to take any action
on tax questions that is deemed nec
essary.
The most important resolution that
came before the board last year was
that affecting the assessing of prop
erty at full value. This resolution,
introduced by Mr. .Jeremiah Smith, of
Horry, was defeated by a vote of 28
to S.
As this is the year for reasssess
ment, and as the county boards have
been busy with the tax question in
the severai counties of the State. the
meeting of the bocrd this year is of
especial interest. It is thought that
the tax question will receive more
that ordinary consideration. The tax
question has been brought into the
campaign very forcibly this year.

Last Year's Resolution.
"Whereas, the pr6sent system of
listing property for taxation at 60
per cent of its true value is in viola
tion of the constitution of the Stata
of South Carolina; and
"'Whereas, the said system deprives
the counties and towns of this State
-of 40 per cent public credit, which is
Sauthorized and provided for by the
constitution; and
"Whereas, the public schools a
thereby deprived of 40 per cent anti
cipated and provided by the consti
tution; and
"Whereas, the said system repre
sents our citizenship as being non
progressive and thriftless, and at the
same time increases the rate of tax
levied for the support of the govern
ment; and
"Whereas, our oath of office re
quires our respect for and obedience
to the constitution: Therefore, be it
"Resolved, first, That it is the
sense of this State board of equali
zation that the interests of the State,
- her institutions and her citizenship,
requires that all classes of property
be hereafter listed for taxation at its
actual value, as required by the 'con
stitution.
"Second. That we will use our ut
most influence with our r.espective
county boards of assessors to have
all property in our counties listed at
its actual value, as required by the
constitution.
"Third. That the comptroller gen
eral is hereby requested to collect all
data possible, showing the probable
increase in values in the State, and
to present same to the general as
sembly at its next meeting."
