We are giving considerable space ]
to the findings of the trustees of i
Clemson college in the investigation <
recently held there in the matter of ?
fh? urollr ftnf r\f tVi*? Rt.ii/tentfl. The ^
trustees unanimously uphold the au- i
thorities at the college, There was i
nothing else for. them to do, if the <
college is to live;" As developed up 1
to this time there seems to h&ve been c
no grievance that amounted to any- 1
thing. If dtkcSR, is anything further <
back or anything that has not come i
out whoever knows about it should 1
let it be known. i
If the pupils are to run-the schools t
then we.long have any i
schools to be run. i
I i
We notice that the main point of *
a speech by Gov. Cooper a few days
atrrn wac tr? t.pll the* Pjirpnt-Tearhers t
association that the school should be c
made the community center, and all 1
the community interests should be
closely conected with the school e
community. That is the doctrine we r
preached in Newberry county some *
ten years ago when we were super- 11
intendent of education, and we be- "
lieve that we were instrumental in P
helping a lot of people discover the a
school house. And in awakening an
interest in the schools ofithe county. *
Wo nrp g-lnd tn have the endorsement n
of Gov. Cooper. It is the one great
question before the people today, the
school house and the right sort of
teacher in the school house.

SAYS 'INCOME TAXES C.
CAN NOT BE REDUCED
Says Government Will Lose $105,000,000
by Recent Decision
of Supreme Court.
Washington, March 17.?Income
and excess profit taxes can not be
reduced until after 1922, Secretary
Houston today wrote the house ways
and means committee urging an immediate
simplification of these taxes
snhsb'fntiftti nf ? flat, tax on ex
cess profits instead of the graduated
rates of 20 to 40 per cent.
"Only very moderate reductions
may be in the calendar year of
1922/' the secretary wrote. Under
the plan of a flat tax the latter stated,
"it would be impossible to adopt a
declining rate, say of 25 ner cent,
for the first year in which the change
is in operation, 20 per cent, for the
second year and 15 per cent, thereafter.
With Gravest Apprehension.
"Unless action is taken at the present
session of congress," Mr. Houstion
said: "Existing taxes must continue
to be collected on the basis of
the present law until the close of the
calendar year, 1922. Such a condition,"
he wrote, "is - contemplated
with gravest apprehension."
Immediate losses to the government
under the supreme court's decision
that stock dividends are not
taxable will approximate $15,000,- ,
000, the letter, stated, Secretary
Houston added, however, that the ultimate
loss would be only $25,000,000
as much of the original loss
would be regained through the sale
of stocks and subsequent taxes on
? * ? * X 1 Xl. ^ A.
them. The secretary estimated tnai
$35,000,000 collected in 1918 would
have to be refunded and $70,000,000
would be lost in 1919 taxes.
$12,000,000 Loss.
Aggregate losses for 1918 and
1919 under exemption to personal
service corporations will approximate
$12,000,000 involving 2,500
corporations, the secretary wrote,
adding that the need for immediate
legislation to meet this situation
arose "not so much from the pos
sible loss of revenue as from obvious I
undersirabilitv of permitting 2.T>00 |
corporations and their stockholders
to escape the taxes upon the corporations
and tho'se imposed upon individuals."
|
Chairman Fordr.ev of th?_ ] use!?
. .?
ivays and mea:..- eomrnitt.v r.- j j
nested on Secretary Houston's susr?estion
that a flat tax supplant the
>resent graduated system, said that
he repeal of the $2,000 exemption
rranted under present income laws
ind the creation of a flat tax on all
profits and incomes would result in
lowering: the average tax from 22
jer cent, to approximately 17 per
?ent.
Straight Assessment.
"Present taxes are based on disposition
of profits," he said, '"while
under the proposed fiat tax there
ivould be a straight assessment regardless
of the disposition of taxable
amounts."
Representative Kitchin, Democrat,
Df North Carolina, however* said the
proposed change in the income and
excess profits taxes would switch the
burdens from the war and peace
profiteers to the little fellows, least
capable of bearing'' the burden. Present
< tax laws have the approval ef
President Wilson, former Secretary
Mc,Moo and congress, he stated, adding,
they are working satisfactorily."
