Durham, member of the j Slate tax commission, wus quoted | as saying a few days ago that the . tax hurdens about which the pco- j I'll" in rvmtn Carolina so frequently complain are due in the main to the cost of county governiiieiu ami not to appropriations ilie Ueueral Assenihly makes for 1 ltie Jstate government. Let lis see: Llsewhere in '1 lie Times this week there is an advertisement of the treasurer of York county in which it is stated that for State purposes this year the levy is Hi nilis ami for county purposes ti luili.s. To the 12 mills for Stute purposes there must he added the .? null const inn tonal school tax, making a total of In nulls levied Jur I ho State. It would seem iiiereiore that Mr. Derham did not have York county in mind v. lien lie made the statement com. paring the cost of the State and ?.unity governments. There are a lew counties in South Carolina iii which the levy for county pur| hm's is ubout equal to that for ...a. e purposes, hut in most of the i.unities 11 is lower. Levies for sel.ool purposes and for township ru?.d improveiiieins are not connty levies and the men who are responsible for fixing the county levies, in \ ork count* at least, Uu not place such taxes upon the people. The Tunes is in position 10 make the statement that for the last hall dozen years and more the York legislative delegation, iii the lace ol numerous appeals lor an increased levy lor county purposes, has steadlastly refused u> add to the tax burdens of the people. There may be holiest difleieuce of opinion as to whether Ine county should undertake a general policy of road improvement 1?V IlllW I,....I, Ol. t I volviiiilio expenditure of large sinus of money, ami thereby substautially increasing tlu* lax li'vy, lun there can he no iliffi'ivnci' of opinion among informed men as to whether the county legislative cle legal ions of the last few years have kept faith with the people in their promise to hold the conn, t.v levy at as low rate as efficient government would permit. Not every eounty in South Carolina is as iortunute in the selection of its eounty officials as York eounty has been, ami to these men much of the credit for the low rate of taxation for county purposes is dm*. It would indeed be something out of the ordinary for the officials id' York eounty to call upon the legislative delegation for largely increased appropriations for their offices, as frequently happens in connection with the affairs of other counties of the Stale. During the flush war period through which the country passed a few years ago. when the cost of living had soared out of all reason, there was a small increase provided for clerical assistance and in the salaries of each of the county officials, but even j with these increases York county today is enjoying the best of ser vice from the men filling her ofli- i 1 ees at a rate of compensation ' lower than that paid hv most , comities in the State for service that certainly is not superior to t that our people are {letting. On top of this, it is worth noting that there has not been laid at the | door of any oftieial of York conn- i tv since the State was redeemed from the scalawags and carpetbaggers 4"? years ago the charge of dishonesty. York county elects, i good men to fill her offices ami i no one ever devotes a minute to ' 1 speculating over whether thev will prove recreant to the trust of the people. i 1 % \ %. ' ...
