MILL ASSESSMENTS REDUCED.
State Hoard Fixed 50 Per Cent Basis
Columbia, July 20.?The State
board of equalization decided this af?
ternoon, by a vote of 33 to 8, to as?
sess cotton mills, cotton oil mills and
fertilizer plants on a 50 per cent basis,
Instead of 60 per cent as formerly.
This action was taken upon motion of
Mr. John Shuler, of Orangeburg, fol?
lowing the argument earlier In the
day of Mr. F. Barron Grier, and sev?
eral speeches this afternon on the
matter. There was a proposition to
make the assessment on a 40 per cent
basis, but this was withdrawn as was
the propostion to assess the corpqra
tlons on the same basis as heretofore
with the understanding that on Im?
provements the basis should be 50 per
cent.
Mr. Grier represented the cotton
mills of the State, through the Asso?
ciation, while the mills are not folly
satisfied with the 60 per cent basis. It
is real!" ! that |h I was th< best tha1 i
COnld bi had. I
The moot vigoro argument ]
11 he notion te1 ?. the ooard
was that of Mr. Jeremiah Smith, of
l b?rry, who said that the coastal
lands are assessed enough now; that
there is much real estate that Is val?
ueless to the farmer on account of
swamp lands and other property that
does not produce anything, and that
the farmer Is now bearing sufficient
taxes. Mr. Smith, who made a prop?
osition at a former meeting that 100
per cent be the basis and over whose
protest the 60 per cent basis was
adopted, declaring that although the
land values have been Increased the
same has not been true of the prop?
erty under discussion. He made an
impassioned plea that the motion of
50 per cent basis bo killed. The vote
01 the Shuler motion resulted.

The board Is this evening wrest?
ling through its three committees
with the assessments of* the textile,
oil mills and guano factories.
The sever; I committees of the State
Board ol Equalisation compl< ted
their work this evening and will re?
port tomorrow to the board. There
were some Idtanges in individual and
l orporattOB assessments, these to be
made public: later.
The county campaign will open in
a little more than two weeks, yet
there ire not enough candidates an
nounoed to fill the lists. The contest
in which the most Interest will een
It r Is that for the Senate. The can?
didates are Mr. A. K. Sanders and
?enator John H, Clifton. The race
will be (lose and it will be unwise
to attempt to pick the winner until
the returns are all in.
If the cotton mills pay taxes on 50
percent <,f their actual market value
they are paying enough as compared
with real estate. But that is the
a nest ton, tire they paying on i full 10
