SUBSCRIPTION - S2.5U Per Yr.
Dillon, S. C., Mny 19. 1921.
President Harding likes his golf, .
just like other presidents before hnu. ,
Cut the scores he makes never see (
print. 1
How to provide good roads and at
tho same time keep down taxes is ^
one of those disconcerting problems
that harass mankind. (
!
There is something pathetic about (
tho story, told in another column, of
city boys and girls 8 and 10 years (
old who have never seen a natural
forjest, a pretty rippling brook or a ]
beautiful meadow, but it should serve
to teach the country boy and girl J
that all the wonderful sights in the
world are not to be found in the big
cities. The city boy and girl arej
prisoners in great walls of stone a"d ,
masonry which have a deadening ef- .
feet on the soul, while every day (
the country boy and girl are in close
comm-uniou with all the beautiful
and inspiring works of nature. And :
in the story is a sermon for grown- i
ups who sometimes pine for the arti- ;
ficial life of the big cities. Great'
walls of cold and solid stone obscure
the beautiful sunsets and the city:
dweller has few opportunities to
pause and admire nature's paintings
in the sky. But it is different in tlie,
country, where a beautiful sunset invariably
causes contemplation and;
admiration?the climax to the eni'
of a perfect day. There is much truth
in the Egyptian fable of the dissatisfied
rmintrv d-.Vidlor uhn .soiidit
wealth in the big cities only to return
to his native heath in rags where lie;
found his neighbors taking diamonds,
from thc earth 011 the former site of:
his modest cabin.
HOW DIVERSIFICATION PAYS, j
There is one section not so far'
from Dillon where money is circulat-j
ing freely and business is booming.
The cry of "hard times," so wo
are told, is not heard in the Fair
Bluff, Chadbourn and Whiteville sections
where the strawberry crop is
being harvested.
Til P ofravrKnrrtf ? * * 1
?? uv.Un m i i j tiu|j was guoa, me
berries brought fancy prices, and netwithstanding
the excessive transportation
charges, the crop turned out a
gcod net profit.
When we hear such encouraging
news from other sections where the
lands are not so highly developed we
wonder what diversification would do'
for Dillon county where the lands!
are so Vighly developed and so well
adapted to the growing of all kinds of
food crops?
Our leading money crop?cotton?;
13 mark'eted in the fall, and from Sep-i
tember till February business is good.|:
There is an interim of four months
before tobacco is ready for the market.
iNuw suppose we naa otner crops? |
Cotton from September till February,j
strawberries in April and May, Irish
potatoes in June -and tobacco in
July and August. What a combination!
Business booming all the year
and plenty of money in circulation
all the time. The world couldn't
break hs.
Every Dillon county farm would be
an oil field and every acre a small
gold mine.
TAXES.
How to reduce taxes is worrying
officials throughout the nation, and.
in South Carolina there is just as
n.uch worry about them as anywhere.
If we combine local, county state
and national taxes, in all their infinito
varieties, the tax payer with right
has the claim that he is overburdened.
Yet in the face of the heavy tax
levy bearing down on every person
in the country there is small talk
of curtailment of expenditures. In
fact, the national administration itself
sets a bad example. It was hoped,
dispatches said the other day, to keep
the year's national tax raising orgy
down to three billion dollars, but various
departments demanded enlarged
appropriations, and in view of this'
fact 500 million dollars had to be
added.
The bonded Indebtedness of nation,
states and counties Is enormous, and|
represents money expended In thoj
past which eventually must be paid, j
And the average citizen Is having a
hard time meeting the payments.
The worst feature of the tax dif-j
ficully is that officials spend more,
time devising ways to spend more'
money than they utilize in an effort
to reduce taxation. The slogan seems
to bo that the public can pay?and
all politicians and statesmen appear
to be alike in this mental attitude, no
matter what they may say on the
THE DFELON HERALD,
public platform or for public con-'
si mption iu Interviews.
This brings up the question of tax
exempt bond issues, which comprise
municipal and state bonds. Originally
this was done to encourage their sale
at the lowest possible rate or interest,
but in the intervening years sucli
enormous amounts have been issued
that the wealthy find in them an
easy and safe way to avoid a Just
share of their taxation burdens. It is
ei-timated that .many billions of dolare
thus free from taxation, when in
Tact these bonds are owned by persons
well able to pay a large share of
the taxation burdens.
The best plan for officials is to
juit spending money so lavishly and
Set it firmly in their minds that the
main idea just now and for many
years should be to keep taxes down
to bed rock.
