CLINTON,'S. C., THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1W5
BUSINESS IS GOOD
We are toldjhat the hotel business
in Washington is extra good. Literally
hundreds of representatives of-states,
cities and towns are sitting around
the holels day after day waiting, to
get their slice of pie from the huge
five billion dollar relief fund^ for
which distribution machinery is now
being set up.
PROFIT ESSENTIAL
There must be a desire and opportu
nity for profit if there is to be busi
ness progress'. Although many today
attempt to attach cnliums to this mo
tive, the fact remains that therern lies
"the secret of America’.^ great wealth,
which, more than incidentally, pro
vides more, wealth for the workers of
this country than for tho.se of any
other nation. When this desire for le
gitimate gain ceases to exist, America
will cease to progress.
Every bu.siness enterprise is entitled
to, and must have a legitimate profit
in order to stay in existence. Men of
the Covered Wagon hoped to find gold
or richer soil.
. THE ANSWER IS "EASY .
" The approval in this state of anoth
er huge public power project at a coat
of 537,000,000, is just another case of
the government going into competing
boainesa with its private citizens.
Thia policy being put into effect
throughout the oountiy in all lines of
industry, naturally raises the question,
"Wlio is gmng to pay the taxes when
private industry is put out of business
■with duplicate, tax-exempt govern
ment competition?” ■
There is only one answer. Those
tAxea, plus the additional taxes re
quired to finance tax-empty business,
must be added to any remaining tax
able property. ~
CONGRESS WORN OUT
Long legislative sessions are the or
der of the day. Qur own state law
makers hung up a length record at
the recent session as well as an unpre
cedented expense amounting to $343,-
075 for seventy-seven actual work
days. ^
Congress has now been running long
overtime. In spite of the repeated ef
fort rhade to “go home,” tf piling up
of unfinishe<l legi.slation keeps the
members on the job in the hot capital
with no immediate likelihood of ad
journment. \ ,
We have \ an idea that congress
could best help the nation by closing
the “bilj hopper” and coming home to
explain reform bills already enacted
to a troubled constituency. — .
HARD TIMES
Times are hard. Conditions are dis
tressing, we are told each dky, with
no money in circulation, no business,
with the whole iiicture ahead a
gloomy, discouraging one.
But in- spite of these “hard times,”
people are able to bu^ liquor. State
revenue from liquor'stores since the
present law became effective in May
has amounted to $306,683. This rep
resents license fees and the tax im
posed upon liquor offe^x?d for sale.
f
Mathematically, what does' this
show. It mean.s that on the basis al
ready set of about $100,000 per month
for liquor, state revenue from t-hii
source will likely be more than a mil
lion dollars a year. While it is imfK)s-
sible now to accurately estimate what
the total consumption will be, indica-
tions point to an enormous sum. If the
annual revenue should reach a million
dollars it will represent in “depres
sion times” the sale of ten million
pints. What would it he in prosperous
times?
I It would he both interesting and en
lightening to know what percentage
of th^ $306,683 liquor revenue report
ed since the law l^came effective has
been made possible by money fur
nished through government relief and
employment channels. __
FIFTY YEARS OF SERVICE
Our friend, neighbor and contem
porary, The Laurens Advertiser, has
reached its fiftieth birthday after
rounding out a half century of con
structive and helpful service to the
county. The interesting story of its
founding and management during this
long piriod appears in the news col
umns of today’s paper.
The Chronicle extends congratula
tions to The Advertiser that it has
weathered the storms and stands well-
established today as one of the best
weekly papers in the state. Those who
started the i)aper in face of difficul
ties, and those who have stepped into
the gaps from time to time as changes
bave come in the management, have
shown a loyalty to their work ^nd
Have carried on faithfully and well.
WHAT WOODROW WILSON SAID
People who wonder what other great
leaders of the day and generation
would have thought of "biireAucratic
government such as^ is growing up
over the world, can study with inter-
e.st the views along the.se lines ex-
.pre.ssed by the late President Wood-
row Wilson. He once said:
“I do not want to live under a phil
anthropy. 1 do not want to be takeh
care of by the government either di
rectly or by an instrument through
which the government is acting. I
want only to have right and justice
prevail so far a,s I anv Concerned. Give
me right and justice and I w-ill under
take to takCvCare of myself. I will not
jive under trustees if I can help it. I
do not care _how wise, how patriotic,
the trustees may be. I have never
beard of any group of men in whose
l^uids I am willing to lodge the liber
ties of America in trust.”
f ^^
The^ paper today, "under the editor
ship of Mr. Lee, is a force in the life
of tjie county. It is conducted on a
high plane, with an earnestness of
purpose and breadth of view, uphold-
in^-and fighting always for the things
that arc of value to the county.
The Chrohicle wishes for The Ad
vertiser many more-years of useful
ness and Success. The county, and the
city of Laurens, are far more indebted
to the paper than it is likely they have
ever realized.

OUR CHANGING AGE
We live in a fast world of change.
We have seen the wagon train give
way to the railroad and the railroad
all but give way to the truck and au
tomobile. The shop which
use<L-to be one of the busy places in
the country town has been forced to
get into sidelines and novelty business.
The blacksmith shop has been turned
into a garage. No business seems se
cure. Just now it appears as though
the airplane would one day do away
to a large extent with the railroad
and the.automobile. But some morning
we will wake up and find a railroad
on which the cars travel 100 to ISC’
miles an hour and the bus lines will
be abandoned. The .movies ruinM the
legitimate theatre but television which
might appear any day now would
atiike a tremendous blow to the mov
ies. It isn’t safe for anyone to settle
back nnd say that he is secure. Any
azoni^ k apt to bring forth a new
peeovgry tbnt will ehknge business
gnd make certain business
•ad miprefitable.
WORK RELIEF STARTS
As the huge PWA prograju gets
under way throughout the country, of
ficials to*head it are urging that the
work be expedited in every possible
way. President Roosevelt, in speaking
to the state directors in the capital
recently, said to that group, “Remem-
l>er that speed is of the essence. We
want the work done, but we want it
done now.” With this policy the pub
lic will bejji hearty accord,, and is
hoping that the money Will not be
wasted and spent on useless projects
as has been the case in many instances
in the past set-up. If we are to spend
the money, it shoiuld be applied to
worth-while, needed, permanent and
helpful purposes.
Inforination comes from Washing
ton that the relief program ha? been
delayed because there' wasn’t enough
money to go around. The original ap
propriation , was for $4^880,000,000,
from which it was designated' that
3,500,000 unemployed people were to
be provided, with jobs. It became ap
parent at Washington recently that
only about $3,450,000,000 could be used
for that purpose; the original $4,880,-
000,000 had been reduced by $900,000,-
000 already spent for direct relief and
rural rehabilitation. It is now estimat
ed that about $500,000,000 more will
be n<)bded fqr direct relief in the^fi^l
year 1936. .
The president’s original pla
cording to the Works F
istration, was to spend
in the reemployment d
projects already appjrdved ^or which
funds have been s^R^tod, and thous
ands assigned
mains in thb fund, it is stated.
$821 per man to be hire^, and that
leaves a small amount for the worker
once materials are bought. The short
age indicated from Washington comes
from the fact that the projects already^
