No Monopoly of Credit. j
The Fort Mill Times does not i
wish to withhold from Governor
Cooper any of the credit to j
which he is entitled for the cut i
of nearly three-quarters of a i
million dollars in the appropria- i
tion bill for the conduct of the i
State government as it passed I
the senate, but it is not going I
outside the facts to state that I
the governor alone could not j
huve saved the taxpayers of the
Slate this sum. After it beoame i
known that the senate had made
lhrge increases in the appropria- I
tion bill proposed by the house, j
Speaker Cothran stated in a
speech to the house that unless i
material reductions were made
in the bill he would refuse to <
sign it. The governor then i
made the statement that the
senate bill carried appropriations
that should be cut and pointed i
out a number of items.in the bill <
which he said he would veto
unless reductions were made.
The senate took offense at the
statement of the governor, toward
whom its conferees on the
bill went into session with the
house conferees in anything but
a pleasant frame of mind, thereby
placing the house conferees <
at a great disadvantage in putting
forward their proposals for
reductions or the entire elimination
from the bill of items they
considered least meritorious. The
speech bv Speaker Cothran,
which met with the unanimous
approval of the houBe, along
with the sincere desire of the
house conferees to reduce the
tax burdens proposed by the

York Commissioners Not at Fault.
As the Yorkville Enquirer
points out, just criticism cannot
. ..be aimed at the York county
"Commissioners for the failure of
the proposed York-Mecklenburg
bridge across the Catawba river.
Thaoriginal proposition to build
the tyridge came from the Mecklenburg
eoUnty authorities with
the statement that they would
pay two-thirds the ccst of
the structure, estimated to involve
an expenditure of $60,000.
The proposition met with the
approval of the York legislative
delegation and last year the
county supply bill carried an
appropriation of $20,000 for the
enterprise. But when the time
came last summer to select the
site for the bridge it was found
that the cost of structural steel
and other building material had
risen in price to such an extent
that the original estimate of
$60,000 would prove inadequate
to build the bridge and at the
recent session of the Legislature
York county's part of the cost oi
the structure was increased to
$37;000?this with the distinct
understanding that Mecklenburg
county was to pay two-thirds the
cost of the bridge and York
county the remaining third. Now
the Mecklenburg authorities put
forward the specious plea that
because the site mutually agreed ;
upon for the bridge would ne- ;
lessitate the building of a considerable
approach on the York
ounty side of the river their
proposition was to pay two-thirds
he cost of that part of the
structure spanning the stream
ind that they did not contemplate
paying any part of the cost
>f the approach necessary in this
tounty. York county has carried
>ut in good faith her part of the
igreement and the only thing
he county commissioners could
io was to reject the supplemental
proposition of the Mecklenburg
authorities.
Let Jastice Be Done.
The allied nations, with the
exception of France, are preparing
to make conditions easy
for Germany, while France
stoutly opposes any revision of
the treaty of Versailles that will
in any manner modify her claims
against Germany.
The tendency in England and
in America to rehabilitate Germany
and put her economic
resources upon a sound basis, so
she may enter into commercial
and industrial competition with
the nations she'has despoiled, is
looked upon with gra ve concern
by the French, whose industries
Eire crippled to the extent that
France is in no condition or mood
to make concessions to Germany.
The Huns started the war for
territorial and industrial aggrandisement
and for the purpose
of extending their system
and their "kultur" over the entire
world. In fact, Germany's
object was a war of conquest,
a merciless war for the extermination
of every element of
humanity that opposed her
sovereignty and it is the opinion
of the great majority of the people
of both Europe and America
that justice demands of Germany
as near a complete restoration
as it is possible to make,
and indemnity for the human
wreckage for which she has been
responsible.
From the standpoint of American
and British profiteers this is

not good logic. These leeches
upon the public have no conscientious
scruples. Their god
is the "golden calf" and they
are ready at any moment to
sacrifice the flesh and blood of
the young manhood of Europe
and America to accomplish their
shameless desires. *
Fleer ShoaU be Cheaper.
In the natural course of commercial
economics flour should
be selling at a lower price, regardless
of government regulations.
The United States milled
15.219.000 more barrels of flour
from July i, 1919, to February
20 of this year than in the same
period in 1919, and exported
87,873.000 barrels less.
If there is any dependence to
be put upon the rule of supply
and demand, as a regulator of
prices, flour should be considerably
lower, for there must have
been an accumulation of 85,092,000
barrels in the stated period
and, allowing home consumption
to be considerably greater than
last year, owing to the removal
of regulations requiring the use
of substitutes, the supply must
uc Kre?i in uuiiipariuuii w a year
ago, for there seems to have
been both a production and a
saving that amounts to about
three-fourths of a barrel per
capita for the whole United
States. If this be a fact, as the
evidence seems to prove, it cannot
be long to the time when
flour will be selling at a considerable
less price than it is
today.
Cooper at Rock HilL
The Rock Hill Herald is authority
for the statement that Governor Cooper
will be the commencement orator
for the high school of that city at the
annual commencement exercises on
June 11. An invitation was extended
Governor Cooper last week and a letter
has just been received from him accepting
the invitation.
The city council of Youngs town, O.,
has acted favorably on an ordinance
taxing all unmarried men in the municipality
20 cents a month. It is estimated
this would yield the city 9192,000
| a year in revenue.
