Phone 119, h WEDNESDAY, NOV. 30, 1921 ? ^ i ABOUT TAXES * As the session of the general as?pmbiv is close at hand, and as we are now in the midst of taxpaying time the minds of many throughout the state are turned toward the subject of taxation. To a great number of people taxes this year are high because they are without the means to . pay them, and they are turning anxious eyes to the next general assembly in the hope that conditions can be improved* When it comes to tax re'.form in South Carolina there are twc } schools of thought?one which be^ lieves that the way to reduce taxes i? to abolish what they are pleased to call useless offices, boards and com\ missions, carrying with them a horde of clerical help who are more or less parasites on the body politic; the other side taking the * view that in the mpin the state's business is economically and well managed by a corps of * people who are far from overpaid for the services rendered. .< These latter admit glaring inequalities in the tax burdens, but believe that the trouble arises mainly from an archaic system of levying taxes, which while bearing hardly upon those least able to pay, still fails to reftre revenue sufficient to allow South Carolina to take its deserved place in the family of states. The first school of thought points / to the ever increasing appropriations .by the legislature, losing all sight of the purpose for which these appropriations are used, and accounting the state's tax bill as the entire burden of taxation. Let us see wherein they are right, or wrong. The state levy this year is 12 mills. There are two school districts in Lexington county this year which have special levies of 34 and 36 mills, or practically three times the amount paid for state taxes. There are eight others which have special levies as large as the state tax. In every school district in this county there is a special . levy, the average special levy . being slightly more than 7 mills. The entire county and state" levy for this county is 30 mills, exclusive of special levies. So that we find the average levy in the school districts of Lexington county is 37 mills, of which ; the state's portion constitutes 12 mills, or slightly less than one-third. Let it not be forgotten also that last year almost half of what this county paid to the state government was returned to us in the form of aid for the rural schools. The entire abolition of the state taxes would leave some people with a tax burden. Let it not be forgotten too that the special levies were voted on by the people themselves. ' And we are proud that they are willing to vote money for the education of their children. We are suffering today from ignorance because those who preceded us did not have the courage to dig deep in their pockets for education. But there is a new spirit abroad in^the land, and the people, no matter how hardly they complain of taxes, are going to be unwilling to turn back in the program of education which within the past few yearshas taken a firm hold. /\jjf But we started out to say some. thing about state taxes primarily and to call attention to a summary of the state's expenditures for the current year, as^shown.by a statement compiled by the State Tax Commission, and published elsewhere. The first v ' .... j, item in this statement shows a little less-than 5 per cent, of the total appropriated at the last session was for 'salaries "of all state officers, boards and commissions, not including the 'm ' / judiciary. In other words a levy of about three-fourths of a mill would be adequate for this charge. So far as lowering taxes Is concerned if the state government were stripped to the outline provided by the constitution the reduction in taxes would be immaterial should the expenditures for education, pensions, penal and charitable 4 J institutions be kept at the present rate. . . A little further analysis of the tax commission's statement shows that the largest single item was for the i public schpftls anil that this, added I to the appropriations for higher learning, makes a total of practically 4 7 i>er cent, of the whole appropria, tion bill. Another 30 per cent, in j round numbers went for the support of penal and charitable institutions, I public health and Confederate pen| sions, leaving IS per cent, to take care of all other activities, including the salaries of court officials, auditors and treasurers, interest on the public debt and other items This is a program in which the whole people share. As a matter of fact, aside from the protection cf property, the poor are the greatest beneficiaries of the present system. It is not hard for anyone to call to mind some man who has several children in schoo' who is paying for all purposes of government only a very few dollars. Compare this with a case which came under the writer's observation some 30 odd years ago, when a woman who i earned her money with a needle paid each year $225.00 for the tuition ol her children. Thirty years ago taxes were low in South Carolina. Do we want to go back 30 or more years? But with something like a million and a half dollars in tax executions in the hands of the sheriffs of this state for 1920 taxes still uncollected and the 1921 dues being withheld by many people because of inability to pay, it would seem that the legislature must find a way to lower the taxes. The Tax Commission proposes a method by which the state could be adequately supported by revI vniouri v?\- fho "nninlpss extrac CUUC i a&o^u Kfj tion" method, and the levy for state purposes abolished. Undoubtedly some of the measures proposed by the .tax commission are in line with the best modern practice, and all of them will bear close investigation by out "best minds." On*? thing is certain, Ve shall arrive at improvement only by calm discussion and not by grumbJing, mud-slinging and blind destruction of governmental agencies. If we continue to progress as a state by providing better school facilities, better roads and humane treatment of society's unfortunate?the poor and helpless?it will require money, which must be raised in somi manner. We must find the way to raise money in the least troublesomeway or lapse into a still more deplorable condition of ignorance. Next year is campaign year. The kind of men we send to the legislature will determine the kind of tax reform we will secure. For, under our constitution, it is the legislature that regulates tax matters. The present general assembly will have a good opportunity to perform a real service by starting the ball rolling for * ~ X11+ tVin mncHtutirtn must L(IA X C1U1 HI, UUV VliV - of necessity be changed before real progress can be had. It will require a good deal of educational campaigning to secure the change, but the results will be worth while. The levy for state purposes can be cut by a considerable sum if proper economy be used, but even should three or four mills be taken from the state's bill, and it is not too much to hope that such may be the case, there will still remain for this county?and it is one of the most fortunate in the state?an average levy of some 33 or 34 mills for all purposes. BOX SUPPER" AT~PIXE~RIDGK. There will be a box supper at Pine Ridge school Friday evening December 2, at 7 o'clock. All come, as there will be plenty to eat. Color Scheme. When the wife of Joe Betts, an Alabama darky, died he mourned her sincerely. "I'se going to put a black border to my house^" he said. And he did. A week later a broad band of black outlined the front of his little dwelling. A couple of years passed. Then one of his neighbors, stopping to speak to Joe, found him gazing up at his little black-edged house with an air of perplexity, j "It lasts well, Joe," said the neighbor, in a tone of sympathy, "but the black grows a little rusty. You will put on another coat?" "Yessuh," said Joe. "Daisy Moore, she says it needs another coat. "Daisy Moore! But has she said black paint, Joe?" "Uh!" grunted Joe, and then his look of perplexity vanished in a slow grin. "1'se going to ask her tonight^" he replied briskly. Two. days later the sympathetic neighbor, passing again, was greeted by Joe from a ladder set against the | au ucu "How (loos yo' like it?" lie asked waving his paint brush toward the band of bright red glowing across the top of the little house. ''Daisy Moore she pitted it out. We git married .. 1! next week. i !
