Ability To Pay Should Be The
Basis Of All Taxation
e
Farm laiKi* and homes, now bearing a disproportionate share of th« tax burden, and more than
these classes of property are able to pay considering the unprofitable condition of agriculture, must be
afforded relief.
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

The revenue derived from the foregoirg suggested reform, coupled with the revenue that would
arise from increased taxable values brought about by favorable tax laws and the exercise of wholesome
economy, would abundantly provide for every necessity without crippling any institution or imnarm^
the educational system of the State. ' '
Whatever ia necessary to be done to brirfg about the placing of escaping property values noon th*
assessment book » something which by all means should be done. P ^ y e Upon the
