( D;ar Sir: As the General Assembly meets next week, and th- writer is one ot ChestJrfleld's Representatives, 1 am < tanlie liberty of outlining some oi | the work to be done at the approach- < .^0 session. i A great hue and ery is raised t over the state for the reduction of tax-1 es, and of course a representative body, responsive as it should be to I t w.ll iit the people, will immediately heed such a public-sentiment. In .studying this great question of taxation o::e Lads some very interesting matters. The expenditure- per capita in Soath Carolina for state pur i poses is among the lowest of all the states in the Union. As comparer with the other states in America, 3oi.th Carolina in her educational ef- | forts is spending a small amount 01 money. In the matter of road build- f ing and maintenance the people o o r 3tate are really just getting fairl ?. ..1 started in doing what neighbor- . ing and other states have already ac j com ilished. In the matter of carini j for our poor, feebleminded and men- , tally/deficient citizens. South Carolim , has not yet solved the problem. In ; the matter of Court expenses, Judges ? salaries, and in general, the conduct ( of the government, our state has low sum total as compared with al j the other states. ; Even considering the above ma t ,Lere remains the opportunity for the ( closest scrutiny in the expenditure c < every dollar for governmental purposes in this state; and in determining what is absolutely necessary for 1922, I have the highest hope thn each member of the House and Pen- | ate will* bear in mind the economicdepression now prevailing, and ibe inequitable tax system row existing, to * "* - V fnr 1Q99 tne ena -mat our ia.\ uuiu may be considerably lightened. It cannot well be disputed that whether cotton sells for 15c or 50c per pound, it is an unjust tax system which has around ninety per cent ot tax revenue derived from a direct levy which, in it's practical application, applies only to visible, tangible property such as real estate, merchandise, mules, household furniture, etc. I There is estimated to be approximately three hundred million dollars worth of invisible, intangible property, such as notes, securities, etc., which are not on the tax books of South Carolina. The property that <\an be seen cannot easily escape the books, and that property which cannot be seen would more quickly he withdrawn from the sfatft or h:d away from the prying eyes of thq government, than it would get on the tax books at the present confiscatory tax levies. To remedy the above state of affairs a constitutional amendment is pro, posed to be submitted to the peoplo at the next cenornl election, (see the tie lay), wherein the Legislature would be given the power to classify property and have different levies for different classes of property. For immediate relief and especially in order that the present levies may be reduced pt once, it is proposed in addition to cutting down expenditure to a minimum: For the placing of (a) A gasoline tax; (b) An occupation tax; (c) An inheritance tax; fd) An increase in the corporation license tax; (e) An income tax not to exceed ten per cent of the Federal Income Tax; and (f) A luxury tax. You are referred to the writer's prediction made through your paper ahoi\,t one year ago "That within ton years there will be no levy on rea' property for State purposes." I hope it will come to pass within one or two years. Yours truly, L. C. Wannamakcr. Arkansas Lln"s Vp for Cooperative 3Iarketintr.
