CANNOT POSTPONE PAYMENT OF TAXES Governor Cooper Replies to Skottowe Wannamaker on Thi* Question As 'Well as Acreage Reduction?Believes Cot: : r" ton Will Advance Columbia, Nov. 27.?J. "Skottowe Wannamaker, President of the American Cotton Association, today made public the following letter which he has received from Governor Cooper: "It has been impossible for nfe to answer your telegram of the first instant unt'il now. The delay is due: to the fact that I wanted to give very serious consideration to your suggestions .with.reference to postponement of the tiii^ ffir the payment of taxes and the r?(ju??ion of cotton acreage by legis|a$v^-enactment. "I am sure yw know of my; very deep interest in the *work being done by the American Cotton Association. The. situation which confronts the people of the.{South' is a serious one. Thiajs a time;for clear thinking and courageous v.?j?d conservative" action. We. are facing a loss in the 1920 crop based on the. piresent market prices. It is obvious that people now engaged in agriculture must change their method ef farming if they are to expect a profitable return for their labor and money, invested. I believe the 4.1. - r ?? ? . Condition Ul UIV ittiuiei ad a wu^ic is much^better now than it was four or fiv? years ago. The present situation is only temporary. I am con-j vinced that the price of cotton will materially advance before the production of another crop. I am also sure that there must be a reduction of cotton acreage in 1921, and a corresponding increase in the planting of grain and other feed and food crops.'There must be an increase in the production cf cattle, hogs, etc. We must look the situation as it is squarely in the face. We have every natural advantage, I am sure that your organization has sufficient intelligence and courage to lead our people in tfye right way. , "Answering s??cifically your suggestions as to t\p postponement of the time for the payment of taxes ana tne -reaucucfi 01 cotton acreage by legislative enactment: In the mat- < ter of the payment of taxes, you f have doubtlness overlooked the fdct ? that the State, in order to meet cur- j rent appropriations in the year 1920, j had to borrow three million dollars, ? which is payable during the months ^ January and February, 1921, and the j tax levy has been pledged for the ^ payment of these obligations. To c postpone the time for tjie payment of taxes would seriously embarrass ( the State's credit. Under our law a f person^may defer the payment of his taxes uijtil the first of February by paying a penalty of pne per cent, ^ and until the first of March by paying a penalty of two per cent. If the tax is not paid on or before the first of , March, however, a penalty of seven C per cent is added. The legislature will be in regular session in ample time to'consider this question. j, "I would like to submit some views f also on the proposed'legislation look- c ing to the reduction of cotton acre- ^ age. It may be that such an Act < would be sustained as a proper exer- l cise 6f the police power. I am frank to say, however, that I have serious g doubts on this question. But wheth : &r such an Act would be constitution- ^ al or, you will meet with many seri- t dus and practical 'difficulties in its . enforcement. It is your purpose, as j, [ understand,.to reduce the acreage v Dne-third. If; an Act is passed to this . effect, and if such Act is held to be . constitutional, it would necessarily j involve a survey of each farm to de- j termine the number of acres planted during 1920, so as to know the number-each person could plant in 1921^ j There will doubtless be people engag- v ed in-farming in 1921 who were not t so engaged in 1920. A person who c operated ten plows in 1920 might increase to fifteen in 1921. These are only some of the questions to be considered in preparing an Act of the * character under consideration. What- {? ever plan you adopt in carrying out s your purpose, you must, in my opin- ( ion, in the last analysis depend upon 1 the good faith of the individual far- * mer, or else some means of making a survey as already indicated will be necessary. It is necessary also that ( any legislation of a remedial charac- z ter must have as its basis the support i of an intelligent public opinion. Without such support its enforcement t is to all practical purposes impossi- t ble. If you have such support in the c present case it seems to me the legis- g I lation is unnecessary. It seems to me that the banks of the State -will be forced to cooperate in this effort, and can largely control the matter in a ?reat many instances. If we succeed in perfecting the organization of your export and import corporation,L and continue through the State Department of Agriculture, Clemson College the American Cotton Association and \ the South Carolina Development Board, the work which is alerady un aer way, i Deneve we may nope ior immediate and permanent relief. This condition, in my opinion, requires education, Organization,- and agitation. "Permit me to say in conclusion that I try never to close the do^r on iny question, and if I can be convinced of the wisdom of your propos;d legislation, I will not hesitate to jive my unqualified support. "In reference to pertain unfavorable criticisms of the work of the American Cotton Association by lewspaper editorials; this is. always ;o be expected. There are those who vill misunderstand and others who vill misrepresent. I am convinced, lowever, that we need not be 5is;urbed about what this or-that newsjaper editor may think of our plans ind purposes if we consider well the lituatiton with which we are to deal ind the remedy which we propose. "1 think it unfortunate that there s so much calamity talk throughout he South. We are not bankrupt; we ire not helpless; we shall take new :ourage arud make a proper use of >ur natural advantages. The State has >rovided already many facilities vhich have been and will be of mate ial help in the present emergency. 31emson College, through its Exteniion Department, the State Department of Agriculture and the Warelouse Sys?em?of the State and intelligent use of these agencies, in connec;ion with the American Cotton Asso:iation, your plan for an export artd; mport corporation, it seems to me, | >pens the door to success." TROY NEWS A large and appreciative congre- ' jation was at the A. R. P. church j sabbath morning for the farewell sernon given Miss Mary Kennedy here ;he takes leave for her far away lome in the Orient, ip the benighted and of the Hindus. The mothers, the longs, the talks, the -papers read, vere all of a sweet and solemn trend. Miss Mary then told "What Motives Prompted Her to Be a Missionary." >he is full of zeal for her chosen work he words that fell from her lips :aught the heart threads of her hear;rs. Her life is an open book and itfespective of denomination, class or :olor, she is loved and loved dearly. V very distinct loss will her going tway.be to her church where she has 10 conscientiously done "what she :ould," in so many ways. Her pieas-| tnt greeting to all, with whom she :omes in contact, the nch man, and nore especially to the poor and lumble, did she have the kindest word 'or. "The choicest flowers are the >nles plucked first," and this is our vay of thinking, as this very sweet Christian leaves her home, her church ler friends and kindred dear to break he Bread of Life to the millions of piritually starving ones in that darkned world. She has made a great acrlftce, but the greater the cross, he brighter the crown. While we all Violt miaa Viar nnmVlP'rlpKC nets of :indness, we feel glad to know she rill render this same sweet service in ler adopted home. Troy A. R.
