THURSDAY, OCT. 20, 1921.
Out* iliing that is noticeable in
llie editorial comment of the
daily press on the nationwide
strike of railroad workers which
has been set for October 30 is
that while there is inuch criticism
id' the men proposing to take part
in* the strike, all are as silent as
death with reference to the injustice
the companies have been
subjecting the country to for the
last year and more by the exorbitant
freight and passenger rates
they have been charging. We
have iu mind one daily which has
had much to say about the hardships
thai would follow such a
strike, but not one word has it
ever printed, so far as we have
In en able to see, in condemnation
. of the greed of the men who are
operating the railroads. As The
'1 lines sees the situation, the
chances are more than even that
the strike will not materialize?
no n the Republican administration
can prevent it, and if it cuu
not. we have another good reason
lor sighing for the days of Woodrow
\\ ilsoii. who was always able
to j?.itrli up the differnces betwri
n tin- rail compuuics and
their employees when a big stride
was ihreateiied. Harding and his
'adxisers know that if the strike
comes it will mean certain defeat
next Near for the Republican part\
in the congressional elections.
And that would be awful, from
the standpoint of both the administration
and the railroad companies.
liefore the (jeneral Assembly
ol 1!)'_!'J meets the people of South
Carolina are apt to see .printed
in the newspapers a good ileal
about tax reform. It is an old
story and the repetition of it
fails to enthuse the average citizen,
who has an idea that he will
have to continue to pay as high
taxes as the lawmakers dare impose
upon him, tax reform or no
tax reform, lint however that
may be. two reforms are neces&*u\\
in the tax laws?uniform assessment
and the placing of all
property on the tax books. It is
the duty of the tax commission
to see that there is uniformity of
assessment on property of equal
value in the various counties of
the State, and additional legislation
to that end would therefore
serin unnecessary. Hut tlie Gen-1
fal Assembly eoiild render the
people a distinct service by providing
for a survey of all property
in the St?ile. Thousands of
aeres of bind and other valuable
holdings in South Carolina have
been escaping taxation for years.
All this property should be put
upon the tax books, aiut it can be
pill'there by the right sort of legislation.
New sources of revenue
for the Stale government are not
uocrssar\ and would have no bet'trr
effect than to furnish the
General Assembly with more
money to appropriate. The State
fieient money to operate the I
treasury already is receiving suf- :
State government efficiently, but 1
the trouble is that it is not always
w isely spent.
And the mountain labored and
brought forth a mouse. Monday
the rules committee of the national
house of representatives
called off the investigation of the
ku Mux Klan which was begun
last week with the promise of
shocking revelations of lawlessness
on the part of the member^
of the order acting as such. The
investigation has proved a flash
in the pan?it has petered out. (
William .1. Simmons of Atlanta,
head officer of the klan. testified
before the committee a few days
"ago and his statement convinced
the country that the purposes of
the klan had been misrepresent*
ed by sensation mongering newspapers
and bribed individuals?
that instead of the purpoes of the
order being the assassination of
the law, it stood ready to assist
in law enforcement.
