Men from all comers of the state will tell you that so-called welfare has turned i self-reliant men into pampered re- jcipient^ of tax-money. In other words, 'we are being taxed on the sweat of j honest and pnKluctive toil in order to I spoil and fiamper some others and take them from the ranks of a^eful workers. Now comes unemployment, for which Ixith employers and employees jare taxwl on the paynill. Incidentally, jh Is fiKilish to tax a payroll. If you I tax what a man f»ays in wage-s you 1 virtually compel him to cut his wag- j e«, or the number of workers. I’ve heard for several weeks of some claims for unemploymemt that looked so bail that I could scarcely believe what I h<*anl.

As » often true, tbete are honest differences of opinion aboLit this. Just off-hand it would appear that the county registering the great- e.st number of vehicles would have the largest exp«ise to build and main tain rfuuis. But that is something* open to proof. In this day of travel! and motor freight that may not be true. For example it is said that a| certain h:ghw*ay running through Leei county, among others, ha.*; the heavi-i est and most constant traffic in thej state. '1 can’t prove this, but the illus-1 tration will serve. If thait be true, Lee] county ha# not only its own vehicles U* accommcKiate, but a great, traffic' of other South Carolina vehicles, and ^ still a gnater traffic of through, truck.s and cars from the South to' jthe No^th, and vice versa. j I have heard it said that the opu lent and progre.«sive city of Sumter , has more than a thousand out-«f- ! state cars and trucks every day. I .Mark you, that doesn’t include bll of us farmers who rush to Sumter from all the Tieighiioring counties, carrying all the government loans and benefit fiayments we can lay our hands on and contributing largely to the pros perity of that bailiwick. j AkTiat is most interesting and im-: pressive is the courage of the govesr- nor in vetoing a measure which wmsi sponsored overwhelm mg+y by both' senate and house and which was baa-, ed <»n such a degree of local interest that ordinarily w>uld have assured its apTiroval, at least for poiitioal ex- pe«lieTicy.

It may be that super-highways are not urgent, I agree, but for eight years my farm associates and I have paid to the state Tive cents on every j gallon of gasoline we have used H I several cars without a penny of ser- jvice from the state. TTiose cars oper- jate on dirt roads, in dry weather cor- dusToy affairs, and in wet weather ,mud holes. ^ We are just typical; hundreds of thousands of others are in the same plight. So the idea is to keep us in the mud or bouncing on corduroy io ^.^lat institotkms which have muen ' less claim on tbe taxpayer may thrive jand expand.
