From Vorious Papers. hr "JANUARY” Whatever else you choose to say about January — and you can say 1 plenty, if you please—it does bring days that are lengthening instead of diminishing. The sun will be in the sky today about ten minutes longer than it was last Sunday, and the span will steadily increase until next June. One of these fine winter days, in fact; it may even be possible to eat a reasonably late breakfast with out benefit of artificial light. r War time, of course, which has pushed the hands of the clock ahead and kept them there, has made this winter’s dawns seem particularly dark and often deary. The country man is used to getting up in what city folk consider the dead of night, but even for him it is a bit wearing to do the morning chores, eat break fast and still have to start the day’s work with a lantern in his hand. And the commuters simply can’t reconcile themselves to seeing the sun loaf leisurely over the horizon while they j on eliminating the payment of taxes THE NATIONAL SCENE As Washington Sees It Special to The Chronicle. Washington, Jan. 12.—Although the new congress, stimulated by its add ed Republican strength ( is working on dozens of new projects for im proving the efficiency Of our war program and o'f our wartime civilian economy, it looks as though taxes may be one of the first things to be! given major consideration. Many congressmen already have expressed Jhe fear that, unless the present tax collection plan is revised before March 15, there will be many people who will be unable to meet their payments and will default. In order to avoid this, they are urgng the adoption of some pay-as-you-go plan whereby at least part pf income taxes should be deducted from sala ries and wages by. the employer. Congressmen who favor such a plan point out that the machinery for such a collection plan already is set up and is being used for collec tion of the new Victory tax as well as for social security payments. Some favor the Ruml plan—which is based Heads PC Students Notes From The County Agent's Office By C. B. CANNON, County A«ent ’Imaterial that has been made avaif- : able. Last year 283.7 tons were or- i dered by farmers as a grant of aid. The minimum carload for shipment is 40 tons. However, in some cases it may run as high as 50 tons per car, once.

There’s a gain at the other end of the day, but it’s neither particularly noticeable nor of any perceptible use. If the sun must set in mid afternoon, what does it matter whether it’s at 4 o’clock or 5? It’s a cold and distant sun, any way,, as impersonal as an icicle. And winter evenings always were long. But January brings the turn. It brings more snow, more ice, more cold; but it also* brings more sun light. It got its name, didn’t it, from Janus, who specialized in new begin on 1942 incomes in 1943 and substi tuting a pay-as-you-go tax on 1943 incomes. They say the government would collect just as much money, if not more,, during 1943 by the adop tion of this plan. Others favor a different variation of the pay-as-you-go plan whereby takes on 1943 income would be col lected each month during 1943 but, instead of forgiving taxes on 1942 in comes, they would be collected over a period of years. Just what version the new tax plan will take, if one is adopted, is still a very debatable subject, but it seems iln the above picture is Jack Dent, of St. Matthews, who was recently named president of the Presbyterian college student body.

The education of a child should not be entrusted to the visionary, the im practical, and the irresponsible. The .first lesson that should be taught the child is that when he grows up he must look out for himself. It cannot be taught by a person who has not learned it. The sole argument of substance for retirement pay for teachers in South Carolina is that they are underpaid. So far as the argument has substance, it shoulcj be met by increasing their pay. The life and casualty insuring companies are in business for the ac commodation of teachers no less than for the accommodation of bookkeep ers, plumbers, traveling salesmen. No man or woman is under com pulsion to teach. No man or woman laboring under the impression that he or she is mak ing a sacrifice for the public by ac-| cepting a niggardly wage, asking, at the same time, a penitential offering from the taxpayers for old age, has any business in a schoolhouse.

There is some talk among South ern members of congress of making another attempt to’ introduce a pro hibition measure such as the one in troduced during the last session by Senator Lee to prohibit the sale of liquor in areas near army camps, but the recent report of conditions around army camps made by Elmer Davis is apt to put off any consideration of such legislatidh.
