Tho passage of this bill would save
the taxpayers of the statfc $07,800.

reduce all salaries 20 per cent, as now

A OARD FROM DR. J AS. HARMAN
To the Editor:
Please allow me spaco in your columns
to make reply to J, E. Swearingen
calling for more money. Some
time ago he called for over two million
dollars and in connection he
spoke of two moro mills lovy on the
property of the taxpayers. A year or
niuiu agu I1U apui\u ui lUUKing OUl IOr
the taxpayers. The only way I can
see he is lookng out for the taxpayers
is that he means to tax all the
property from them. My taxes now
are from 10 to 151 per cent, from
what I get. Who is tho principal one
that pays the taxes?. Is it not tho
farmer?
He spoke about looking out for the
teachers. Is he looking out for the
teachers in the siuno way as tho taxpayers?
If he is I do not see it that
way in ills writing. Last winter he
called a meeting of tho State Teachers'
Association to advocate tho minimum
salaries of tho teachers^ Prior
to that I never heard any complaint
from tho teachers about their salaries.
In the meantime. Swparlngen
directed tho trustees to pay the
teachers for the attendance of the association
and when tho schools were
closed for the epidemic. He also said
ho would give state aid to tho schools
if they would voto on nioro mills
when an election was held. They
claim the election was to be carried
on as tho genoral election and
only gave two weeks notice for tho
election. ' I would like for somo one
to tell me if that is according" to tho
constitution Of the United States and
not allowing: half of the patrons to
vote in some cases.
If Swearlngen is wanting to treat
them all alike why don't ho order the
farmers to be paid when a shortage
of the crorp and a fall in the price is
felt? Are not the farmers got as
good right for a minimum salary as
the school teachers? Do Swearlngen
think the farmer will get a hundred
dollars a month to the person?
They read to me where ho is complaining
abou. tr.Ucracy. He asks
the preachers, lawyers and teachers
to raise war against illiteracy. Has
not all of them got their names to the
church? Is not the cliarch based on
the gospel? Is that according to the
gospel to force mo to pay taxes to
help pay up expenses of young vagrant
people. Do not the gospel say
wo are to forfeit for what we get?
Does not such as that encourago vagrancy?
Does not the gospel toach
just and righteousness from the beginning
to the ending? Isn't it more
right to follow tho teaching of the
gospel than J. E. Swearlngen- Some
people 1 talk to. when I got the
subject of taxes, say that tho gdspel is
laid aside. I say they have ho rlghi
: to lay the gospel aside.
According to my understanding J.
E. Swearlngen is asking for a Stat<
