Provides Increased Tax Oh Motot Vehicles, With Heavy Trucks Taxed Heavily. A proopsed new State highway bill providing for the maintenance of a state lighway system, has been pre pared with the approval o fthe State Highway Commission, and copies of it are this week being sent from Gover nor ('ooper'% office to all members of ti- e general assembly, who will be given an opportunity of voting oi it at the 1920 session of the .General Assembly, which convenes in Janu. ary. The main feature of the new bill is that it proposes an increase tax or automobiles. It would provide a taa of fifty cents per horse power on au tomobiles, and also a heavier tax or motor trucks, increasing with the ton nage of the trucks. The bill wouk tax a one-ton truck $12, and an eight ton $750, with the license on trucks of intermediate tonnage ranging be. tween these two figures. The purpost of the bill, state members of the Highway Commission is to discourage .the use of heavier motor trucks whic are destructive on roads. It is statec 'hat the legislature will also probably he asked to provide for a small ta> levy in the counties for the mainten ance of the state highway system. The new bill, it is stated by mem bers of the highway Commission wil: provide an income for the state high way system of nenrly two million dol.

The bill would pro vide that seventy-five per cent of this income revert to the counties for the maintenance of the roads in the var ious counties forming a part of the state system. All the money, in case there is no state highway in a county, or the overplus in case the state high ways in a county do not require the county's proportionate share of the money for maintenance, goes into the construction of state highways in such counties, provided- the county will match the money dollar for dollar. The new highway bill is a crystali zation of the ideas of a number of road authorities. Speaker Cothran, of the House of Representatives a prom inent Greenville attorney, who has studied road legislation considerably, as well as members of the Highway Commission, have aided in developing the new plan. The best ideas as to road maintenance gathered by the highway department from their work in the state have also gone into the construction of the new bill.

The idea of send ing copies of the bill to the members of the General Assembly .is that they ma yhave plenty of time prior to the meeting of the legislature to digest the contents of the new hignway plan. -- o THE HIGH COST OF LOAFING It is the high cost of loafing rather than the high cost of living that troubles America today, mn the opinion expressed in a recent issue of the "Corn Exchange," the monthly maga zine cf the Corn Exchange National Board of Philadelphia. The paper nays that the country is producing less per hour, per man, than before war although the rate of consumption is greater. This being true, prices continue to advance and further ad vances may be expected until an eco nomic balance is effected between pro duction and consumption. The solution of' the problem as in dicated by President Wilson, Governor Harding, of the Federal Reserve Reserve Board, and others, is to in crease production and reduce expen ditures. * Investigation by a large manufac turing plant of Philadelphia, says "Corn Exchange," recently showed that under identical circumstances the production per man per hour was one half before the war although wages have been doubled. Another investigation which covered several states and which was reported in the same paper showed that while the average wage per man increased 240 per cent the production per man, per hour. had decreased 62 per cent. "The man who loafs on the job," says the paper above named, "no mat ter what division of society he be longs to deliberately elects to surren 'der his claim to be an honest man, for he is pretending to ao sonlething that he knows he is noc doing. This lowering of the moral standard of the people of the nation * * * menaces the stability of the stare." The paper concludes; "Let us bei honest with ourselves by recognizing the high duty of working at maximum sneed at whatever task circumstances bring to us. The loafer is father of the liar, and the liar is father of the traitor to al Ithat we hold dear in America. It is the worker who has always won. the shirker who has al ways lost. Let as stop talking about the high cost of living. Let us put a stop to the high cost of loafing."

Mr. Todd's dleclaration was made the course of an address in which tU presentedl figures showing futui needIs of the world for cotton, pa' crops andI the present prospects. "The world's requirements," sa Mr. Todd, "are practically unlimit.e Europe andl Asia are bare of colt goodis. The position today is the san as before the war, only wvorse.

The n average cotton yield in the South, to - say the least, is discreditable; more - cotton is wasted annually in America than it has been possible to raise in Africa outside of Egypt. Would Be Calamity. I "Further restriction of cotton r acreage in America would be nothing e short of a calamity. There nowv is and t always will be a demand for all the t cotton that can be raised anywhere.. e There is no need to restrict the sup "ply, but rather it should be increasedl. t. "Of course, the first necessity is to e assure the planter a reasonably re d munerative price. Despite the great e increase in the cost of cotton today, it is still one of the cheapest prod uicts and has not increasedl proportion n to other conmmodities." e Mr. Wannamaker prefaced his ad e dIress with the dleclaration that cotton ;t has been a curse to the Southern States. "If it had not been for the d raising of cotton in the South this I. section would have been thickly y-et n tIed with whites and there would not ec he the geent percentage of illiterates ec in the rural communities. Cotton is brought slavery, resulting in the War -e Bet ween the States, followe.d by the )f terrible (lays of reconstruction, bank y ruptcy and poverty. Cotton has en d riched every landi where it has been - usedl commercially, it has blessed man kind everywhere the sun shines but in the South it has been a curse. Cotton is why there are white women and 8littlo children working in the fields. a TIodd Appeals. a "There wvon't be increased acreage s. of cotton until a price is paid for the product which will justify its being graised by well-paid man lab~or. It must el he a price wvhich will bring our South ern negroes back to the cotton fields, n The price must enable the "one-horse' farmer to make more than a bare liv C ing.

Simp son, Weatherford, Oklahoma, presi dent o fthe Oklahoma Farmers' Uhion offered a motion to the effect that the statements of Mr. Wannamaker be given t the press as the sentiments of the growers' division. W. B. Thomp son, who presided at the session stated that under the rules governing proced ure at the meeting it would not be possible to take a vote on the motion, as all classes were ret)resentedl at the sessIon. Mr. Simpson said the motion was the unanimous view of the growers and he wvanted action taken on it. The chairman again refused undler the rules to presenft the motion. Mr. Simpson then add~ressedl the confer ence, saying: "I appeal to the entire conference for permission to present the motion- of the growers to whom you all look for a living. Turn it downa if you want to.''
