Is unemploynii^t compeiLsation to
be worth something; or is it to be
such a demoralixing influence as to
smount to a fraud on the public? 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. But I offer here
certain transcripts of official rt*cord«
as sent by a patient employer who
has stcKKl so much that he is now
jUiiling over. Here are the case.s;
I 1, X-Y. Voluntarily quit. In jail for
I drunken driving. Failed to rt jKirt for
jwork. Last day workeil April 2H, 1939.
j Accxirding to <»r<l<*r, this claimant is
ienthleil to bentdit f7ir 14.35 weeks at
$8.20 per week, or a total of $88.97.
He has apparmtly been [N-nalized for
<nily a few weeks on account of what
I has taken place. Have we reached the
point when an employee of this type
can draw comperuiatioin ?
2. M-M. Voluntarily quit. Moving to
Sianfewd, N. C. lautt day worked Feb
ruary 17, 1939. Claimant entitled to
benefit for 15 weeks at $5.40 per
week, or a t<ital of $8I.(K). Bmefh

stated that this w<>man went to hiv

and because of it the thiity-aix
“small" counties allowed the one-cent
diatribution of the gasoline tax to
continue according to Tcgiatimtkwi of
vehicles instead of mileage in the
counties. 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.

Don't let^ deceive ourselves, tbe
Kate appropriation 'lUl could be cut
very substantially. Not only are we
thfxrwing away grrmt sums on wel
fare, but we cHooae to re-impose 3
mills on all taxpayert and 1^811x101 the
bmlding of country roads in order to
bokrter many senrices of much less
general utility.
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. And. so that taxpayars*
mortPjTmay be hapded out to paraly*®
[labor in the rural districts.
