free press is a privilege. It has as
the “leadership"? On what was
grounded assumption that South
Carolina’s taxpayers were so over
whelmingly commited to the levy
ing of sales taxes for schools that
they were given not a chance to ex
press themselves by voting upon it.
“It was the association (teachers)
which first advocated the sales tax
as a relief to the state’s current
need for additional revenues,”
South Carolina Education News de
clares in its editorial.
Were the candidates in 1950, not
one of whom was elected on a sales
tax platform, the candidates of a
band of teachers or of the people
of South Carolina?
V
Again South Carolina Education
News is saying: “Already, there are
reports that direct, energetic at
tacks are going to be made upon
the tax at the 1952 session of the
legislature.” It does not occur to
the journal of “education” that if
the people of South Carolina had
been given an opportunity to vote
upon this tax, which presumably
would have “developed widespread
Support” and had declared in its fa
vor, candidates for the legislature
to be elected in 1952 would treat
that question as settled. It would
be no fit subject for debate.
If the sales tax shall be an is
sue in the contests for legislative
membership in 1952 and in the leg
islature when it meets in 1953, the
arguments of its opponents will be
that it was secretly imposed upon
the South Carolinians, that without
ther consent, without offering
them an opportunity to support or
reject it, into the statute books it
was sneaked upon the recommen
dation of Gov. Byrnes and the
votes of a legislative majority.
Those are the facts about the sales
tax.
“If” educators in South Carolina
can refute the facts they have made
more progress in education than
most people suspect. If the sales
tax shall be repealed, for its repeal
hoodwinking ways and means by
which it was enacted will be re-
sponsible.—The News & Courier.

Focing Confiscotion
Hardly a day comes that Presi
dent Truman does not ask for more
appropriations, which if granted,
means more taxes piled upon tax
payers, more spending, more elect
ing.
Senator George of Georgia, one
of the safest and most coiservative
members of the U. S. Senate, says
thaU the tax-hiking bill now in
Congress “is the last tax increase
bill I will support short of all-out
■war or a national crisis.” He is
chairman of the finance committee
which handles all revenue legisla
tion in the Senate.
The pending bill to which Sena
tor George refers would increase
revenues to $67,000,000,000, or $68,-
OOO.OCO.OOO a year in a full year’s
operation, an all-time high. That
Js enough to- spend in a year, ho
said. R is about $1,5000,000,000
more than we could spend even
with a stepped-up defense program.
