Second, no matter how suc cessful cmigress may be in reducing unnecessary expenses, the new taxes that will have to be imposed will be staggering in their immensity. DcM Unit Raised No doubt remains here that an in crease in the borrowing authority of the treasury will have to be voted. A* national debt of 50 billions or even more by the time the next congress meets in January and the president to be elected in November is sworn in, seems to be on die cards. However the new taxes are dis guised, they will fall ultipiately upon the cmisuming public. That is axio matic. Every effort will be made in congress to tell the people otherwise, but ixivately every senator and rep- res^itative admits that when the war spending really begins every citizen arill feel tlM pinch of higher prices for everything he buys. Pdpapdim ejpon how hUMrinent the threat of involvement in the Euro pean war appears, Washington looks for long-winded and partisan speech es when the tax measures come to the floor for debate, in the effort to convince the voters that it all isn’t going to cost them anything and, any how, the other fsUows are to blame. Oreateat limargency The wisest observers here appre hend that the mixture of presidential politics with what moat regard as the greatest national emergency the nation has faced in a quarter of bill, if the latter were passed. From Senator Barkley, of Kenr tucky, the Democratic leader, came a 8tat«nent that the guard bill would probably be introduced by, Chairman Sheppard, Democrat, of Texas, of the senate military committee, and that action would be expedited in view of Mr. Roosevelt’s request for speedy enactment. It was suggested by some legisla tors, in fact, that the guard bill might be brou^t before the senate ahead of the conscription measure. Thej leadership was obviously in no hurry; to proceed with the latter. An intense [ controversy has surrounded it, and it was the apparent^hope of some that a compromise might be worked out, if the issue is not pressed for a time. of our own national welfare is also greatly involved, lend our assistance uid cooperatkm to th^ countries which play the game squarely wli£ us." Rovensky did not further amplify his remark about barter prospects nor mention ivhat countries might be involved.

Unless such a situation arises, how ever, the seasoned observers of the political scene give Mr. Willkie and the Republican party at least an even break with Mr. Roosevelt and the Democrats. On the war question, as stated in the platforms of the two parties and expressed by their re spective candidates, there is so little difference that they may be regard ed as unanimous, That leaves the presidential campaign to be fought ou$ mi domestic issues and the per sonalities of the candidates. So far, there has been no revolt in the Republican ranks. Mr. Willkie comes nearer to having a united par ity behind Him than ai^ candidate of jhis party has had since 1928. That there is a deep division in the Demo- 'cratic party is held to have been in dicated Ify Senator Carter Glass’s convention speech opposing a third term; by Natiimal Chairman Farley’s refusal to take part in the movement to reelect Mr. Roosevelt; by Senator Burke’s withdrawal from the party and his pledge of support to Mr. Willkie, and other straws whicA, to the eyes of those whose business it is to interpret such signs, point to serious disi^ection among Democrat- county; Watts mills, Laurens, $542,- 300. —Cwenwaed Ce—ty Mtlls Greenwood, July 23. — Assessment and equalization of cotton mills and other textile industries in Greenwood county by the South Carolina tax commission for the year 1939 totals $4,146,193. • The individual ments are as follows: Greenwood Cotton mill, $603,000 inside town, $526,300 and $76,700 out side town; Grendel mill, $259,460; Matthews Cotton mills, $1,033,500; Ninety Six Cotton mill, $600,000; Panola Cotton mill, $142,500; Ware Shoals Manufacturing Co., $1,507,735 in Greenwood county, $46355 in l^u- rens county, and $3,100 in Abbeville county. days from being unduly hot aiuLtbe ni^ts from being cool. ‘“The main reason we have such hot nights is because it takes the Vote For H.
