THIS RELIEF CAN COME ONLY THROUGH TAXING THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN IN TANGIBLE PROPERTY NOW ESCAPING TAXATION. This intangible property is revenue-producirg and is able to pay, but because of tht* Constitutional provmicn that all property shall be taxed on an equal basis according to its value, and because intangi bles cannot pay on the same basis as real property and survice, it enjoys exemption. This condition must be remedied if this State shaM arrive at that basis of equity and justice that every dollar of wealth shall be required to War it* proper share of the tax burden and no form of wealth shaU be exempted from taxation at the expense of another. The relief which is essential to the aven-berng of the owrors’of farm lands and homes must come, if it comes at all. through dealing with the fundamentals of our tax laws arid the remedy of constitu tional defects. We must strike at bhe root of the trouble* It cannot be brought about by tax ex pedients, which are only superficial and do not get at the rot of; the trouble. CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION IS ESSENTIAL TO TAX REFORM It is a simple matter. Changes in the State’s basic law, which I advocate, will make possible, through a Constitutoral amendment providing for the taxation of intangible property—mortgage*! stocks and bonds and other interest-bearing securities—at a rate which this class of property can af ford to pay without injury to itself, the reduction of the tax on real property to a basis which it can afford to pay without working hardship upon the man whe ownes a home, a farm, a piece of business property or a stock of merchandise; « It will also make possible the equalization qf taxes and enable the State, which is now as sessing mercantile storks at an actaal 42 per cfnt of real value, while other clsses of property are paying on a much less rate, to deal fairer with business and assess it on the sine basis as real estate. u~ It will add to the State’s reverues a sufficient amount to render unnecessary the obnoxious special taxes, including the documentary stamp tax—which were put on only as an expedient—these being discriminatory and hurtful to business and o»eratpg, as sales taxes inevitably must operate, to injure the Stats by turair« away the outside capital Which South Carolina needs for its proper industrial development / 1 As a matter of justice and equity.,why .shouty $10,000 invested in interest-bearing securi ties (which is wealth) bear no part ®f the cost t of government when $10,000 nWsted in a farm or home is required to pay taxes? > u « * rm WHY SHOULD REAL PROPERTY BE REQUIRED TO CARRY THE WHOLE BURDEN* More than $400,000,000 of wealth in teAflilRhLqvqperty is now escaping taxation in South Carolina. Classification of property for taxation, wHich is the remedy I offer and the only suggestion ad vanced by any candidate for Governor which strikes at the root of the trouble, wiH place this $400 000 aaa on-tbq‘tax bco^B at a fair and mat rate wWch it is able to'pay -pdters'Mn proyertion to the millions in revenue which wiH thus’ th« several counties of the.
