In reply to Judge Pell, member
of the s'.ate lax couimii-sioii. who
charged him with either -ignorant"
or a 'liar," in declaring that under
the rvalua'.ion tax rate would be low.
ered, Mr. J. J. Parker, Republican
oaaiidat for Governor, had the
following communication in Sunday'
Observer:
T i the Eui'or of The Observer:
I nutici in lais i..or.ii.s's tuition'
o! utu paper an article by 0,ir
iiu':e i-h correspondent giving an in-i-.v.tw
wilh Judge Pell, of the State
..:x eo:rmiisoii. In which Judge I'eii
.Uts ixeeptien to a statement made

one lioioiiig what is supposed to Lie
a Judical Ouice on the slate corpora-
duU couimisiiion. 1 bliail. However.
,'ass over the language used by Judg
11 as beins attributed to his inlirm-
ty and Fliull come to the point of his
coiiiiiaint.
'i in- Htuteinent made ill ill v Lar-
th;".e speech to which he has taken
exctpiiun is the statement that the
rr.ilroads ill pay loss tax because
oi the revaluation act. My full state
ment at, Carthage which was i.eces
saiily abbreviated in the report was as
follows:
the tax rate will be lowered un
der fhe revaluation act. The holder
ol persoiial properly, such as bunds
and solvent credits, will thereupon
pa leis tax. The railroads will pay
le.--s. I have not heard that t hen
valuation has been raised by the tax
comuiisison. The Southern railwaj
lines tire now ar-sossed at approxi-i-ielv
UXtni(l ner mile. I am re-
linhlv liifiiriued tliat a member of the
'ax commission slated that it was pro
posed to Increase tins to tu,uuv per
mile, bin 1 am also iniormeu nun
inereirte tins not been made. If ii
hn heen miiili' I have never heard
of it and if it had been made I think
i nnl. I hn v lieu id of it. liut. even
If the Southern railways lines are
j.sso'sed at I6U.0O0 per mile this I
an increase of only l i per cent,
and if the tax into is reduced to one
third of what it now is. the Southern
railway will pay on Its lines only
about one-hair the tax It Is now pay
litir l.'KM mill i lie holder of solvent
credits paying less,-the owner of real
estate will necessarily pay more.
For the foregoing statement I nave
high democratic authority. In his
iii!iiphlet unon the revaluation act
Vr. J. W. Bi'iley. of Raleiiih, says:
"The southern railway lines In this
-late are now assessed nt a value of

The farmer's land Is 100 acres,

Tiintiillnnv Is now Having 527. no

land.
'The farmer s now paying $12 on
his hundred acres.
Now conies the revaluatlonlst.
He cannot Increase the valuation
of the railway's mile. There is no
market nrice of railroad mileage
no buying and selling.
"But he does Increase tne valua
tion of the fanner's acres. He multi
plies that valuation by five fa 0 per
acre total. $5,000. v

rate. Let us say that he reduces It

half. There are many faru.eis; there
are relatively few mile of railroad.
What the :ate and the coun'ies loe
to the railroads they will gain from
the farmers!
"It will be freely admitted that pos
sibly the railwa.M' mile of road may
be valued higher; but who will say
that it will be valued five times high
er or even two times lusher?"
This statement and avgiiiufiit by
Mc. Bailey has never eeu denied or
answered. Before Judge Pell pro
ceeds with further epithets I i-uffest
that he answer this argument ol Mr.
Dailev which has Iwen circula'ed
broadcast over the state. J
A little over a week as;o I wa In- ;
formed by one whom 1 considered :
a'oolutely good auth'iiity on the sub-:
je.t that the i cueuiii-ion h;.d not i
;;ised the v;-.l'i i'JU at x. hu h the'
.i.ns of the tailway companies were!

they s?.v thai while th ro-.nny as-e.-so-s

cdtai'i hvv's owned b tho raiiroud
!n the counties, they have no: heard
of any raise in the valuation of ih"ir
railway mileage by the tax cowmis
fion. But there is no use having any
doubt about the matter. Judge Pell
has tne record of the tax commission
before him. Let him tell at what
value per mile the lines of the South
ern railroad stood assessed in the
year 1919? At what are they assess
"d now? Let him give the same In
I'onnaiion to the Seaboard Air Liii.
'ho NiirfnU t Southern, and the At
lantic Const line.
If he c,-n show that the tax eom
tnlrsion hrs raised the valuation of
those properties a. i inch as their tax
hy vill he lowered tinder the re
valuation net, now I: tin lime for hint
o do it.
I believe that the foregoing argu
ment of Mr. Pailey is sound and I
will continue lo think so until Judae
l7l or some one else produces the
figures lo refute it. which they have
not been able to do it. And I ask
Judge Pell that he answer this ques
tion: Will not the railroads pay toss
tax on their railway mileage because
of the revaluation act. even if I lie
valuation of their mileage if raised?
If, not, why not?
The t nil Ii is that in my speech at
Carthage 1 bared certain truths which
are very unpleasant for Judge Pell
to lace. Hence his undignified and
unct'lled for assault on tne. I would
not notice his statement m:ide lo your

Let's Talk It Over
The demand for furniture of the better grades Is increasing every
day, and for the past few months we have noticed a greater demand than
ever for the higher grades. ',
Here's the reason: Economy does not necessarily apply lo the first
cost. Many a family have purchased cheap furniture because they wanted
to ecomomlze, but the furniture went to pieces quickly, and it took but a
short time to convince them that cheap furniture was not economy.
To be thrifty and economical buy the better grades of furniture. We
have a large display of high grade furniture selling at reasonable prices.
