OM.VCAC iVh So TUUP THURSDAY, APRIL 8TH. 1926. Be Sdre to Attend. ^rnrnmmmmm In an open letter to the people of Barnwell County, published on page one of this issue. Auditor W. H. Man- ning urges a full attendance at a meeting to be held with representa tives of the State Tax Commission in his office next Monday afternoon at one o’clock, as he fears an effort on the part of the Commission to en force a 12 per cent, valuation on the taxable property in Barnwell County, ' which, as he points out, would be • \ confiscatory under the present levies. Whether this be the object of the visit or not, remains to be seen, but we understand that such an attempt has been made in other counties and when it failed, an effort to effect a. ‘'compromise” on the basis of doubl- « v ing the assessment as compared with last year has been made. This, we are reliably informed, was the case in Aiken County. The People-Sentinel “views with alarm” any effort at this time to in crease the tax burden. The late la mented General Assembly made a great gesture of reducing the State levy from to 5 mills and any in crease in the assessed valuation of property, be it ever so small; woufd make that slight reduction look like the proverbial .‘10 cents with a hole in it. Property owners as a whoie, many of whom have seen their lands go under the autioneer’s hammer for unpaid taxes, are not in the mood to * V submit to any increase if they can help it, and surely the sovereign peo ple of South Carolina should be ab'.o \1 —am?

We hope that the members of the Board of Assessors will fight the effort to the last ditch and refuse to agree to any increase. Our im pression is that the members of the Commission some time ago acknowl edged that they have no legal ?ight to enforce an increase in valuation but intended using “moral suasion” on the county officials. It might also be well for represen tative farmers and business men of the county to. attend the meeeting Monday afternoon. ' tei noorr. by a score of 12 to 2. It is under-1 Iia!,e >'.
