North Carolina Tax Laws Questioned by Observer Editorial
The Enterprise reprints The Observer editorial arguing state taxes compare poorly with Southern peers despite NCs nine month school term and statewide road funding. It calls for full tax picture including municipal and county taxes to guide postwar policy by the Department of Tax Research, Budget Commission, Governor-elect, and 1945 General Assembly. The Enterprise endorses the effort to reveal the true picture and urges careful consideration of facts.
