Tie primary facts with reference to the tax situat-ion in South Carolina are so .big and so outstanding that one can only [be amazed that they continue to be ignored in Columbia. We hear continuously of the necess Ity of "finding now sources of reve nue." We hear very little of what Is inoro vital at the present time, name ly, the necessity of reducing appropri itions and exI)enditures. What the Legislature needs to realize, and what the people of South Darolina must realize, is that for the past two years .public expenditures In this state have been beyond the ibility of the people to pay. This Is the -hard fact, It cannot be blinked in the end; the legislature ought to recognize its existence now. In his annual meIssage to the legis lature Governor Cooper stated that on November 1, 1921, "there was un-col ected, from taxes of 1920, practically $1,250,000." This -morning The News md Courier prints statements from he county treasurers of thirty-four :ounties showing that In those coun Jes only $6,151,323 of the 1921 taxes iave been paid out of a total assess nent of $11,017,774, for the counties lalled. There is thus $4,866,421 of the 1921 taxes still outstanding and un .ollected in these counties. The fol .owing table has -been made II) froi :he statements sent in by the county .reasurers Counties.

'The total assess nent of these counties for State and youInty taxes in 1921 was $6,849,610. Tile treasurer for Laurens sent the Igures for state taxes only. Laurem, sounty's total assessment wvas $438, 1I7.82. On the basis of the averages shown n the reports from the other thirty rour' counties, this would mean that there is still somethIng like0 $2,500,000 :>f .the 1921 taxes to be collected in the counties which have net been heard from. In .addition, therefore to tile $1, 250,000 of 1920 taxes which remain uncollected it is probable that well over $6,000,000 of tile 1921 taxes a're still outstanding, Thiis in itself should be sinfcient warning of the necessity for retrench:~ ment; .but the story Is not yet ended, It Is brought out by several of thc treasur'ers that tihe taxes wleh havc been lpaid have come -in many counties largely (rom the railroads and corpor ations, In Williamsburg county 01ne third of the 1921 taxes have been -paid but the county treasurer' has writteri receipts .for only one-sixth of the en. tr'ies on the books, Out of every sl> property owners In 'the county flv have still to pay their taxes.

ST COME DOWN from, with corporations and those who were able, having paid?" 'Whe1n the legislature fixed the State and county taxes of South Caro lina for 1921 at $18,257,021.25 it was oni the basis of a cotton -crop worth Itwo hundred millions or more. With a cotton crop worth less than 'half this amount the money to pay such a tax 'bill shnly does not cxist-es-pec lally when it is borne in mind that over half the present crop is in eleven counties. No shifting of taxation will make it 'possibel to meet such a budget as was called for in 1920 and 1921 or anything like it. If the land owners and farmers are unable to pay, nwho is?
