C. Tax Commis sion, covering a period of ten years, show very convincingly the steady rate of decline of general tax assessments of the state as a whole; and the even more steady increase of the assessments of the cotton mills. When you consider that the total assessments of the state, in spite of their steady decrease, actually include the assessments of cotton mills, on which there has been an increase, it is easy to see that cotton mills are each year carrying an increasing tax load, taken off the shoulders of .someone else. The figures upon which the above charts were based are as follows: Total As.scssmcnts of State Assessments Cotton Mills 1921 $4.52,490,600. $54,722,435. 1922 435,999.839. 55,424,2.50. 1923 424,01.5,714. 56,004,345. 1924 428,601,274. 60,768,155. 1925 430,082,366. 63,819,9.50. 1926 424,863,722. 64,861,370. 1927 422,169,895. 65,861,400. 1928 425,543,764. 66,619,885. 1929 426,359,1.33. 69,387,430. 1930 415,000,000. 70,915,815. Sf Decrease Tn 10 Years / In 10 Years In total Assessments of State In Assessments of Cotton Mills Of coqrse a portion of the increase is represented by new cotton mills, new spindles added to the state. The spindle increase, however, has, only been from 5,034,861 to 6,689.642 —an increase of 13 During l^he past nine years the increase in taxes paid by the mills has been , and the increase in taxes paid per spindle has been 40' 90'/ With such an alarming rate of tax increase in the state for cotton mills, it is not likely that the next 10 years will show much increase in spindles. -J r'-rrrrrrr r ■I ri 'f I rrrrrrrm .. . y .'Vo»pvT»—jio I'i,,;
