Mu. Editor: The timo 1ms oomo
when tho Doinocr icy of Polk should
make urangeinonts for members to
the Legislature, nud to Bond delegates
to tho OoDgromional Convention. The
county dumocutic Executive Commit-
too havo called no mooting as yet.
They should do bo at onco. Lot us
havo a good, old fashioned Democrat
ic nomination by the pooplo; no ring,
no clique, no trado or trick; and above
all !)• independent candidates. I
learn that seme have already said
tboy had boon solicited to declare
thoiuBolves independent candidates,
and another said ho was a candidato,
but had finally declined tho race—wub
too poor to run, notwithstanding tho
many pressing solicitations of the dear
people. Tho old Democratic \ motto
was, “lot tho office hunt tho man.’’
Gentlemen, clonr tho track; lot tho
people coino forward and sponk. If
you aro worthy, true and tried in tho
past thoy will not forgot you now. It
is essentially necessary in this election,
to havo good and truo men in Con
gress and in tho Legislature; men who
fool that this is a Democratic Govern
ment, a Government of tho pooplo,
und not of individuals, cliques, or
rings; men who understand that tho
liberties of tho pooplo must bo preser
ved, and that itjean only bo dono by
a truo Democratic Government. Wo
want uion who understand the groat
principles which constitute tho foun
dation of truo Democracy, and ‘which
underlie tho groat fabric of froo Gov
ernment,
My advice to tho convention, wlion
it moots is, first, to enquire if any ring
lmd boon formod, any trick up or any
trade made; and if truo, investigate
it, uud adjourn your mooting to an-
othor day, und invito tho good pooplo
to oomo up and give u freo’exprossiou
as to thoir ohoico. This plan, I think,
would insuro success; olhorwiso you
may have tho sumo disagrooilblo set
of office beggars to contoud with you
had last your. At tho same timo,
should any Domoerat havo inoro con
fidence in his own personal popularity
thnn he bus in tho Democratic parly,
and doolure himself an independent
candidate, yon may know that ho iu
not ono of us—ho is outside of tho
fold, and should ho so treated. Hu
thinks himself abovo affiliating with
tho Democratic }mrty, and you may
know that he is iu secret collision
with tho radicals, and up him. Dring
all your forces against him; touch him
that the pooplo aro sovorigu and must
reign. A Democrat.

Comiuunicuf ion from “Kecor-
«ler. ,>
Tho subject of taxation ha* boon
ono of the most difficult aud per
plexing over submitted to government
for practical solution, and it is one
that more thought has bceu expended
on to 1 hh purpose. Tho ohjio* has,
boon to lesson and cqualizo tho burden,
but has most invariably resulted in u
gradual increase from year to year
Much of this legislation bos boon un
wise and unjust, but tho crowning act
was passed hy our legislature during
tho yonr 1872. I refer to tho exemp
tion bill, which < xompls monied mo
nopolies from paying taxes, which, of
course, adds a general increase on tho
poor class to koop up the government
The law exempting woolen and cotton
mills, was afterwards extended to iron
companies. No doubt our legislators
were honest in their views, aud at the
timo tho bill wus passed it looked
rather plausible. The facts have pro
ven, in my jadgmenot, quito to the
contrary. Tho only object of this ex
emption was to encourage and induce
caiatalists to invest mid bring money
into tho State. Tho investments have
been made, us for the money, so little
of that article loaves thoir own pockets
tho heneflts aro not precoptible, ox-
copt in tho purchaso of lauds, which
are most iu variably bought ut much
less tlmn roal value. No soouor than
ono of these companies is organized
and chartered, they set up thoir stores
of every kiud and trade to catch every
dollar thoir employees labor for.
This subject lias boon troubling the
council of our town no little, and of
late boon tho 'hill absorbing thought"
of the body. It has boon a desired
object of every member of tho council
to make your taxes for this year as
light us possiblo, and at one time they
rejoiced in tho thought that it would
not bo necessary to levy an advaiornm
tax. Unfortuatoly for tho citizens our
object was foiled which created a small
expanse. Since that effort tho coun
cil appointed a tax assosor to compile
tho taxable proporty of tho town. In
his report to our surprise, thoro was
over or.e hundred thousand dollars
worth of property within tho incorpo-
ruto limits of (JoUartown that claimed
exemption. Tho council required tho
assosor to inuku a demand on tho
company for an invoice of tho proprty
they owned iu Codartowu limits, winch
lie did, and tho coinpnuy refused to
give in ono dollars worth of property.
I refer to tho Cherokee Iron Com
pany. Tho council was at consider
able loss to know what stops to take
in this matter, nud somowlmt cautious
about law suits, as wo lmd on hand
about as many us wo could wull at
tend to. After much discussion and
study, tho council passed a resolution
ordering thoir recorder to examino
tho law and facts on tho subjoot, which
lie did, and laid them before that
body. It was then ordered that a
committoo wait on the tax ussosuor of
tho county and learn tho truo slate of
those facts, and request him to lay be
fore the Couipotrolor General a true
and impartial statement of the condi
tion of this coinpuny on the 1st day
of April, 1874. Ho, tho assess ir, prom
ised to do so and inform the oomini -
too tho oxtont to which the Coiuptro-
lor Gonoral exempted this company;
to this enquiry the assessor received a
reply that the company should ho as
sessed on all thoir property except the
amount oxpondod iu the funmoo. This
somewhat astonished our body of
couuuilmon, thoy thou instructed the
assessor to tax all the proporty of the
company within tho lines, except that
necessary and actually expended in
erecting tho funmoe. Before this was
dono tho county asscHor received soo-
ond orders from tho Comptrolur Gen
eral to assess no tax on tho Cherokee
Iron Company -Their entire capital
in Folk, and I presume the State, was
exempted by law. This straw broke
tho councils hack, aud put an end for
soiiio weeks to any further action.
But tho groat injustice done tho citi
zens of Polk and Codartowu, still in
duced them to make some further
inquires into tho subject, which re
sulted in another resolution request
ing and instructing thoir recorder to
write this article for your paper;
showing how unjustly this exemption
was obtained and tho unlawful con
struction given to the law. To do this
I will havo to occupy inoro of your
space than 1 wish, but as it is in t.lio
intorost of Polk County, it is no in
trusion on timo or space.
From tho wording of tho act, I lay
down us my first proposition: This
company is subject and should, 1 like
to have said, shall, pay tax on their
entire capital invested for tho year
ending April 1st 187-4. My second
proposition is, this company nud all
other companies like this, bhould he
assesod on all thoir property and
made pay tax on tho same except tho
actual oxpouso in erecting and oper
ating tho furnaco. Now lot us read
what tho law says. In Georgia report
page 298, vol. of 1872, Eutitled an
act to onoourago the manufacture of
cotton aud woolen labrics &c. “Tho
general assembly do enact. That
for tho purpose of inducing the in
vestment and employment of capital
in tho muuufuoturo of cotton and wool
en fabrics and yarns, also extend to
iron in the State aforesaid, any indi
vidual or individuals, or any body cor
porate, that shall hereafter invest
money to bo employed in tho election
and operation of any mill or mills,
within the state afortmid for tho man
ufacture of fabrics out of cotton or
wool or both, whether such invest
ment. bo applied in the establishment
of a now factory, or in tho extension
or enlargement of a now existing fac
tory, shall be exempt from taxation
for st it , county and municipal pur
poses on the capital so iu vested, or
any property purchased or erected
therewith intended for, and necessary
to, such manufactory, for tho term of
ten years from and after the laying of
the foundation of the mill so to be
erected: and it shall bo tho duty ot
any individual or individuals, or body
corporate, claiming the benefits of
suoli exemption, to report to the
Comptroler General of the State the
amount of capital so invested, and tho
time when the foundations of rniils
readied tho sur/otv of the yround,
where situated Ae. The italics are
my own.
This act is so plain that I can hard
ly Bee any use in making auy com
ments. Does it not say in so ruauy
words that the foundation of tho mill
or furnace shall roach the snrfaco of
the ground before application can Ikj
made, and tho timo expressed ? Now,
what is tho object of the law requiring
this date, if it is not to determine tho
date of exemption? If this Company
hud thoir furnace foundation built to
a level with thq surface of tho ground
beforo tho first duy of April, 1874,
thoy had a right to make application,
and tho Comptroller General had
nothing to do hut grant it. If, on tho
other hand, their foundation did not
reach tho point designated until the
2d day of April, the Company could
uot expect to bo relieved of taxes on
property they owned daring 1873, any
more than on property owned hy tho
Company during 1872. And if thoy
did not use*diligence and enorgy to
push tho work forward and avail
thomsolves of this benefit, it was tho
Now, to dofine what is tho tax year.
When wo givo in to the assessor wo
Company's fault
are required to tako an oath giving an
honest statement of all tho proper'y
owned tho year preceding 1st of April
last. Then ull tho property this Com
pany owned during tho twelve in >utha
commencing 1st April, 1873, aud end
ing 1st Annl 1871, is known us their
taxable proporty of 1873, us the tux
year commences and ends on tho 1st
of April each' year. Now, if this bo
true, and the Company* us I said, did
not come to time with their founda
tion, why not subject ? Why dul they
not apply for exemption for 1872 ?
Wo ull know tho law docs not recog
nize a partial compliance whore put
ties have contracted with tho State,
and this is nothing more or loss than
a contract. It is expected of tho
State to adhere strictly to the reading
of tho law, and the State should and
does require of tho parties contracting
to comply with their obligations.
Then tho only question to decide ih,
did tho foundation of the tjompany's
furnaco reach tho surface of the
ground on ur beforo tho 1st of Apri',
1874 ? 1 was not at or about tho Com
pany workf on that day, nor have 1
examined Uumi since that time ; but
I have tho evidence of reliable, hon
est and truthful men of Folk county,
that after tho 1st of April they saw
the furnace foundation, and it was
near two feet below the surface, and
no foundation laid up to that date.
As Into as Juno tho surface was not
reached ; iu fact during tho month of
May and firat of Juno they woro only
gmvliug tho bole thoy had excavated.
Those aro facts, if I am rigidly inform
ed, that can be proven by at least
I wonly of tho cltUensof Cedartown. Then
how .lid i ho Company apply for cxemp-
iion ? Upon whal ground* did (hoy base
their application? 1 ecu no oilier way of
gulling an explanation on this point but a
copy of the application. Now, »■ to my
teoond proposition: The Company should

Comptrolur (Jenernl will so construe tho
law iu the face of tho discussion of the sub

was recently decided by Judge l Tudor wood
and tho niibrvtuo Judges, that this company
had no rigid to build a mill, and that a mill
was no part of an iron works, and will givo

1 propose lo orgnulso a company to be

many applications forwarded at once, which
will require so mauy book keepers, we will
perhaps make some mistakes as to the
amount of stock each county has invested.
And for fear some mistake is made and our
charter delayed some little time. I now, in
the name and behalf of this company, as
their expected, and no ddubt will be pres
ident, present an application for exemption
o all personal, real or other estate-, whether
in sctual or anticipated existence, from all

for tho space ot ten years, subject to no in

demnity from all losses that may originate

of Home applying for admssion in a few
