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

of the treasury department for it

iffy.,mifted to gather such information

\ 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

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

Entreat Falls/Chesys
in a newspaper
! that what South
ftUow~*who r 1mmml
taxlh was extended and he feared
that aneh an act would injure the
^redif of'the State. 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.

Lumber Company Fails.

was appointed receiver of the
Fort Mill lumber company, J. J.

the financial condition of the

The Fort Mill Lumber company
