We recall that a vigorous effort was made to authorize municipalities to require licenses of trucks soliciting and de livering for wholesalers. That act was vetoed, but it does neft seem to affect the ordinances of many towns; they require licenses under one pretext or another. What does suggest itself is the question: If existing ordinances are valid why did the legislature un dertake to legislate on the subject? Either the towns may do virtually pa they please, dr they may act only within limits. The present condition indicates thir towns do as they please. It ia difficult to reconcile cer tain points of state law with certain town ordinances. A municipality is a chartered community, which contin ues subject to all state laws, as a creature of the state, and it may ex average of $1,770413 purchased in South Carolina from July 1, 1041, through January,” Bowers said. “18 can be seen that the treasury tnent expects South Carolina to Langston Club Nomas Officers c .

So, there is a vital and immediate prob-i lem of supply, of production. Most Americans are willing and ready to do whatever may be neces sary. Among the patriotic Americans are millions of our fellow citizens who are members of labor unions.; No one should discriminate against any American because he is a union man; but he is not entitled to any special consideration because he is a union man.
