jJ. CANTEY WI COMMISSi Summerton, S. C., Nov. 25, 1921. iitor of The Manning Times: One of the most important issies ore the people of South Carohna ay, as I see the situation, is the estion of a reduction of the large rnuiber of State Commissions, by a 'ocems of combination, and at the me time a reformation of the State ailroad Commiission. * (o not think it is too much to SIXy that the people of South Caro IWA do not have confidence in the tte Railroad Commission, and this u(le primarily to the fact that the lroad Commission is so constitut and elected that it is impossible the people to discover which Com Ssioier is derelict in' his duty to 1public, and then again, the Rail d Conimission has never appeared Appeal to a very high class of men an intellectual standpoint. It as been suggested that the Railroad Commissioners could be made -more Iresponsive to the people by electing all three of the Commissioners every two years, since it is just as easy for the people to elect three Commission ers at one time as it is to elect one Commissioner every two years. Then main, the point has been made that t e Insurahce Commissioner, with his ai)ointive deputies, has given satis factign, and therefore it is argued that if the State had only one Rail re&gl Commissioner, to be elected every two years, with the right to ap pOint one or more deputies, the peo le would be in a position to know Wom to hold responsible in case of dereliction of duty. Furthermore, the very fact that the Railroad Com mission and the individual members thereof, are placed in the very deli e te position of receiving daily cour tsies from the railroads, when the inlividual citizens are not in a posi tion to extend these same courtesies, has-caused the public and the average citiz n to regard with a g-eat deal of suspicion of decisions of the Rail I Commission. On the other hand, inve in this State, the Public Ser Commission, an institution of limited jurisdiction. with three hers appointed by the Governor, the authority to fix rates and arges in connection with certain public utilities, and this Commission does the work which should be (lone by a properly constituted Railroad C imission. addition, we have in this State, oard or Commission of Concilia , composed of three members, ap ted by the Governor, which has diction to investigate industrial Utes and strikes, with merely he authority to report and offer sug 0tions, but without power to render "Misionls or remledy conditions, and a therefore a useless expense to the ople of the State. T appears to the writer, that the ane and reasonable thing for the peo '19 of South Carolina to (10, is to Iish the Railroad Commission, the ublic Service Commission, and the Board of Conciliation, and to estab lish in lien of all these Commissions f limited authority an Industrial it after the method and manner 56f the State of Kansas, granting to said Industrial Court the iurisdiction )ow exercised by the Railroad Coni mission, the Public Service Commis sion, and the Board of Conciliation, Wih all the add.itional power and jurisdieti: n granted the Industrial Court under the laws of the State of '' sas. A year or more previous to ' establishment of the Industrial At in the State of Kansas by Gov ernor Henry J. Allen, the writer sub.. plittedI the same proposition to the *da ny newspapers of South Carolina, bu the suggestion was at that time .i pressedl. However, the human rate in its process of evolution dloes ndt standl still andl proupositions once repiudiated are later adopted and No matter what cind of battety we will makce it 3ast 'as long 6s ~ eplace -it Wilatew ~GOD WiN & WOODR UFF Summerton, S. C. EA GLE"MIKA"~ For Sato at your Deater ASKC FOR THE~ Yt.LOW EAGLE h R AGLE PENILi CO1u kNTS ONS ABOLISHED CORN MAY BE USED FOR FUEL CHEAPER THAN COAL Secretary Wallace, of the Depart ment of Agriculture, said recently: "Ear corn at 20 cents a bushel is equal in fuel value to a fair grade of western soft coal at -pproximately $10 a ton. In districts where corn is very cheap now the coal is usually of a rather poor grade and is selling at high prices. Under such conditions it will pay both farmers and people in country towns to use corn in stead of coal. "Because of the variation in quality of both corn and coal it is difficult to make scientific experiments the re suits of which are applicable every where, but, speaking generally, the relative heating values of corn and coal are about as follows: Compare Heating Values of Corn and Coal Corn at 10 cents a bushel equals coal at $5 per ton. Corn at 11 cents a bushel equals coal at $6.50 per ton. Corn at 12 cents a bushel equals coal at $6 per ton. Corn at 13 cents a bushel equals coal at $6.50 per ton. Corn at 14 cents a bushel equals coal at $7 per ton. Corn at 15 cents a bushel equals coal at $7.50 per ton. Corn at 16 cents .a bushel equals coal at $8 per ton. Corn at 17 cents a bushel equals coal at $8.50 per ton. Corn at 18 cents a bushel equals coal at $9 per ton. Corn at 19 cents a bushel equals coal at $9.50 per ton. Corn at 20 cents a bushel equals coal at $10 per ton. Corn at 21 cents a bushel equals coal at $10.50 per ton. Corn at 22 cents a bushel equals coal at $11 per ton. Corn at 23 cents a bushel equals coal at $11.50*per ton. Corn at 24 cents a bushel equals coal at $12 per ton. Corn at 25 cents a bushel equals coal at $12.60 per ton. Corn a,t 26 cents a .bushel equals coal at $13 per ton. Corn at 27 cents a hushel equals coal at $13.50 per toi. Corn at 28 cents a bushel equals coal at $14 per ton. Corn at 29 cents a bushel equals coal at $14.50 per ton. Corn at 30 cents a bushel equals coal at $15 per ton. Corn at 31 cents a bushel equals coal at $15.50 per ton. Corn at 32 cents a bushel equals coal at $16 per ton. "The drier the corn the higher its fuel value. It can be burned either on the ear or shelled, but better on the ear. "In times past,, when corn was very cheap, it has been burned as fuel in the United States, but mostly on the farms. In Argentina both corn and small grain are sometimes burn ed as fuel, not alone on the farms but mi power plants. Undoubtedly large quantities of corn will be burned on western farms this winter unless the prices shouln materially arvance. The farmer will find the corn cheap er fuel than coal, and in addition will save the cost of hauling the corn to town andl hauling the coal back. Pco ple in the country towns in the see tions of cheap corn will probably find it will pdy them to buy ear corn for their furnaces andl heating stoves un less coal should decrease consider ably in price or corn should advance." made the law of the hand. The estab lishment of an Industrial Court ini South Carolina, the members thereof to lie applointedl by the Governor, with the power of removal, having the combined .iurisd iction of the pre sent Railroad Commission, the Public Service Commission, and the Board ot Conciliation, wvith the power' to hear l)(titions, mnake investigations, pro vidle remedies and en force decisions, wvill mean a newv era of industrial prosperity in South Carolina, and at the same time, the abolition of a num ber of useless Commissions. Labor, agriculture, capital, and industry, have the moral and legal right to establish unions, hut it is the moral duty and should quickly become the legal duty of all combinations, as in the case of individluals, to dedicate themselves to the common good, anid the people, the pairty (If the third Part, have certain rights which should be respected, and for' these reasons, an Ind Ius trial Court, along the lines suggestedl, should be establishedl in South. Carolina. The cry for a reduc tion in expensive~ Commissions is a reasonable demand on the part of the lpeople, but unless the patriotic citi zens will get together on a platform of conmmon uplift, substitute better methods for present useless and ex. pensive methods, and redutce taxation by a process of political combination, then alas, the demagogue will enter the arena and adlvocate andl be elected by the tearing down process, and the last estate of the people will indeed be a sadl andl hopeless condition.
