There is no occasion for surprise - the statement coming Wellington that the treaaf -*nry officials lmve refused to, allow the tS;atc of South Carolina - ac. < ;'xn to the federal income taxree. c.rds to" rid in the enforcement of the istati income tax law. The ' Washington govt rinnent again holds, as U Juid formerly held, . ' that the records are confidential. Snehxa ruling was anticipated by ,;w nt'^ecixl one member of the Legis./flatprc who expressed an adverse " opinion of the proposed State statyje while it wi.s under contrklt&idicn in committee, much to fy V the annoyance of tho chairman of the cnmi !!,: < who at the time displeasure at tho inter* rnyiitoii of Iiie explanation of the v bilt by the "Chicago experts," 'v. one of whom had d( -dared thut he ("&iid t^c word of an under official of the treasury department for it j ' * thnt^outh Carolina would be per. iffy.,mifted to gather such information a* 'dte needed from the federal \ troops to enforce her income tax law. The committee then went ahead and gave its approval to " the bill, regardless of the opinion of its dissenting member that it wus umiu s piay ior me Legislature of South Carolina to put in- I to it a statutes a law the enforcement of which was dependent upon the wilt of one or two men in -Washington, even should the take seriously the unsub.s i word of the " expel C that In had oral assurance of federal booperation to make the law effective. The income inx law / tv^s expected to bring into the State treasury this year a million dollars! Without federal assistancef'the luw cannot be enforced, even should it be held constitutional. The State will be lucky if it gets $250,000 from the Which reminds us ^vill ^^^^hhout this time next ''ayejM^to the fact that a choice bit wot pat over on them I when tlie levy for the year was placed at T.mills against the levy or 1l' mills last year, since the 7 mills levy will fall short a million <doIlars*o# producing enough revenue to tun the State government fe' tli roiigbout^4he year.

The governor's fears do not see in to have been well founded. Ou the contrary, we have hia word for it that South Carolina's credit is as good as that of any State of the onion in the money marts of the North-?which proves^ that the contention of the a^embers of the T a m hV- ?--?*- ? x_ ucgunBiury wno ?rKu lor inc | extension of the time for the payment of taxes was'just a little better thfn that of the governor arguing agflnst it. Tfy* 1 1 S It is a pity that the Legislature of South Carolina is not composed of intellectual supermen. If it Were, We mi got see the State government operated without tax. ation,*nd thus satisfy the correspondent 'of a ttaily newspaper who say* that the failure of the Legislature at it% decent session "to give the farmer relief from bearing the heavier portion of the load of taxation' * has .greatly enhanced the chances of election of Cole L. Blease-as governor. It is not prehaps outstandingly important what the correspondent we have quoted thinks about the race for governor,, but it is important to know that' the Legislature a few days ago out the levy for State purposes from 12 mills to 7 mills, which will be the amount collected for this year lit least. Will the farmer share in the retion? One is one safe ground in assuming that he will. All agree that taxation is high in South Carolina, but it is a fact that no other. State government in .this country is operated as cheaply per capita as that of this State. and no fair minded man will blame the Legislature for things the Legislature is not responsible for. Most of the heavy taxation in South Carolina is for local purposes?for the support and development of the public schools, for the building of good roads, and for other public purposes. Much of this taxation was voted by the people themselves, and those who are dissatisfied with the amount they are paying for the upkeep of the;schools at least might find a way to escape the special taxation by influencing their neighbors to vote off the special levies which in many communities .in the Stme are higher than the amount the samp communities are paying toward the support of Hie State governmeut. Of course there will be few instances of the people going to the polls and withdrawing their support of the public schools, but it may be done by communities which do not place education in the category of need* ful things. In front of the great ehurehes in New York city for weeks past there has been , a bread line every night, 1,500 strong. Many in that bread line, toward the end of the war, were selecting $12 silk Rhirts and asking the man in the shoe store if he didn't have something better than $18 shoes. This newspaper, along with others, -urged workers to remember that high pay would hot last and to keep some of it. Sooner or later good times will come back. Then again this and other newspapers_ will say, "Keep some of it." But always there will be a rapid jump from silk shirts to the bread line. That is why a few people have money and a great majority have none. Money for Soldier Memorial.
