Editor The Herald and News: Some say that ours is the best gov rnm ent that the world ever saw; aut it went to piece?s before it was a iundred years old. The English gov rnment is hoary with age, and one f the most srable on the globe. It; as received maiy a sheek but has uccessfully withstood them all. It s said that a very import:lnt e'nent f its strength is the - foresight and :isdom of her leaders who make con essions when her subjects demand hem. Thr writer has helped to maintain hl gov:ernmient longer than the aver ge man; but he has never protested nainst hi;h taxes Lntil row. IH; is kicker at tbe present lime ai d'a co - cientlous one. He believ?s that the ime has come to call a halt. Taxes .re high. They are oppressive. If .ny one believes that I am the only one to protest he is very much mis aken. There is a large class of mal ontents, but they have not signalized heir grievances through the the news apers. The State treasurer is call ng lustily for money, but 'it is not orthcoming. Do you know why some rho are prepared to pay have not done o? The reason is not far to seek. 'hey believ'e that taxes are too high nd their holding back is in the nature f a kick. High taxes and big appropriations aay cut some figure in this year's ampaign. A political storm is brew ng and I hope that the legislature will .vert it. No one enjoys a storm phy ical or figurative. It is said that the ecent revolution in Mexico was argely the result of high taxes. Of ourse nothing of the sort will occur Lere; still I believe the British are rise when they give patient hearing o the protests of their subjects. The trength of -government is in the affec ions of its subjects, but high taxes lienate their affections. In the nature of things taxes at resent can not be very low, and I hink that tax-payers will, in a meas -re at least, be satisfied if there is a isposition on the part of the legisla ure to cut down expens'es. It goes without saying that five State olleges are too many for the little ;tate of South Carolina. What are -ou going to do about it? Pull down ,part of them? Oh no! They are 11 doing good work. But cut down. .pprepriations so that the tax-payers an keep th~e wolf from their doors. ost of our best public institutions re suppdrted by voluntaryr contribu ions. The churches, orphanages and he denominational colleges are all ept up by voluntary gifts. The ideal ondition is to maintain the State olleges in a similar way; but no ody expects this. We do not live in~ topia. Besides it is no easy matter o uproot century-old customs. At he present rate some of the State col ege plants are destined to be enor ously rich on the money of4 the un illing tax-payers. State colleges are1 n a level with the established church f England, which Americans do not elish. The denominational and undenomi ational colleges are educating mor'e oung m.en and young women than the tate colleges and they make no de and upon the public treasury. When that awful budget, the ap ropriation bill, was brought into the K enate chamber during the last legis iture, a good many senators shied at .Indeed, as I remember, it passed y the narrow margin of one vote.! e Lenator, who was neither as ig oramus, crank nor alarmist, declared Lat big appropriations for State col ages would make them enemies. This only natural, but unfortunate. I should like to see some effort to rotect ouir citizens from rabid dogs, nd the sheep and poultry industries r'om canipes in general. The fifty ents capitation tax looks like sheer erfunctoriness. I think that State scholarships ought , be abolished. But we must.not ex ect too many reforms at once. We hall see what we shall see.
