About the xmost permanent thing
in the world is a "temporary" tax.
Nothing is quite so limitless as
the average voter's capacity for be
ing fooled.
Gals who are easiest on the eyefc.
art; sometime hardest on the pocket
book.
It was a clever hotel keeper who
thought up the , idea of calling Kis
viot'ms 'guests".
Critics of nudism should remeim
ber that Adam and Eve started tifoe
first nudift colony.
Perhaps one reason why fat folk't
ere good natured is that they ca
neither fight nor run.
Wonder how many telegrams are
being sent to Congressmen urging
them to stay in session.
One sure thing is that the new
tax rates will be too high to suit the
payers and too low to suit the spend
ers.
An Alabama legislator wants a new
registration of all voters, declaring
the dead have been voting long

When asked by the judge whether
he had had words with his wife, the
man admitted he had Bome, but did
not get a chance to use tlhtem.
SHOULD WE WEAKEN THE
CONSTITUTION?
Suggestions to change the Consti
tution, in order to give the Federal
Government powers dire Supreme
Court has decided it does not now
possess, should be critically weighed
by the American people.
Whether we realize it or not, it is
the Constitution which protects the
ownership and the sanctity of~ the
home. It is the Constitution which
safeguards the independence and
rights of the worker. It is the Con
stitution which maintains the sancti
ty of contract. And, finally, it is the
Constitution whfch guarantees and
supports the rights, the liberties and
the privileges for which the forefath
ers of the nation fought when they
dhtenged America from a foreign
dominated colony to a free natior
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal.
Those who would change the Con
stitution would do so on the supposit
ion that it is out of date ? that it is
no longer' capable of meeting the pro
blems, the conditions, the issues of
the times. If that is true, human lib
erty is out of date. Individual free
dom is out of date. Democratic gov
ernment ? which has as its gliding
principle tifrat the people are the mas
ters, not the servants of government
?is out of date. Private initiative
and individual ambition are out of
date.
Every time we tamper with the
Constitution we weaken itL Under
the existing Constitution, a delicate
balance of power is maintained be
tween the central government an<l
the 48 stiti governments. The I V '
eral Government is <mahled to do
that which individual state i could
not efficiently do ? while tho states
are left free to make lawn, rulings,
regulations and policies that are in
accord with the beliefs and needs of
their people.
If we broaden the powers of the
Federal Government we fOvhII simply
be giving bureaucracy a greater free
and unchecked field for aotlon ? at
the expense of the states, of industry,
of workers, of every citizen.
iHE j^uliUC FOKGOT
l! For business men who appear to
.aink tftc public aoes not need to be
.^iibiant'/ remiiiuea of wno tney are,
.?liere they are, and what they Ifrave
.o sell, the well-known story of what
Happened to a product caneci ryte'a!
A earlnie will bear repeating.
| In the early years of this century,
li'earlinc, a cleaning material, was
used by most of tne housewives 01
the country. In 1904 the company
jpent $1)00,000 in advertising. Then
f^he adveitising was greatly curtail- 1
.-d and about li>07 it was discontin
ued altogether, as the company
.iioug^ the product was so well
Known that no further advertising
was necessary.
Sales fell off rapidly, tout the
company s owners persisted in their
on-udvertising policy until 191o
hen the whole concern was sold fo*
,>12,000. Pearline was dead.
Many other products whose names,
.vere household words a few years
ago are no longer sold, because the
manufacturers failed to keep up their
advertising, and consequenly the pub
lic forgot them.
Business men should remember that
new generations of potential custo
mers are coming along all tihe time,
and that these new buyers must be
dold on a product or a store, as their
x'athers and mothers were before
them.
The only time it is safe to stop
advertising is when one is ready to
go cut of business.
AN ANTI-CRIME SCHOOL
Under the supervision of the De
partment of Justice a new kind oi
school was opened in Washington on
July 29, in which a class selected
from 22 cities entered upon a three
mtonth course of training in methods!
for suppressing criminals.
The objectives of the school are
to obtain closer cooperation between
federal and state officers in checking
crime; to train men in scientific de
tection; and to give instruction in the
methods which (have proved so suc
cessful by federal officers in ridding
the country of its most notorious ban
dits in recent months.
There will be lectures by promi
nent police officials, crimfinologists
and others whose study of the crime
situation make them aothurities or i
jthe various subjects to be discussed, j
In addition to the theoretical side,
there will be (practical instruction in
the use of all types of weapons used
by officers of the law.
Practice will be 'had on outdoor and
indoor target ranges. Sharpshooting
from moving vehicles, firing at mov
ing targets, use of illumination
flares, and night shooting will b
among the phases of the training
to bo stressed.
The men co|n|pletip\g the course
will be Rent to become instructors in
their own police departments. It is
planned to put about 100 selected
ion through the school each year
for a period of five years.
There can be no doubt that Ufoe
system of instruction outlined will
be productive of cmi*ch good, and
be productive of mrxuch good,; and
deal harder than it has beon hereto- (
fore.

BACKBONE OP TRANSPORT
In spite of all clain s to the con
trary, the railroads remain the hack
bone of the nation'3 transportation
system.
Other carriers may supplement the
rails and perform a valuable service
But is is a limited service.
Trucks can handle but a fraction
of the nation's freight, and almost;
none of its heavy, transcontinental!
freight? wheat, machinery, etc.
Buses can provide inexpensive and
excellent short-fofculed passenger ser-l
?vice ? .but the vast bulk of travelers
still go by rail when embarking on
a lengthy journey.
There are definite limits to the
airplane ? its high cost, its relatively
sparse coverage of the nation, its
Inability to handle freight.
The waterways are limited by ge
ography and by seasons. In addit
ion, they have proven to be constant
money losers, and can only be kept
in operation by vast governmental
subsidies.
Tho railroads touch every portion
af the country. They provide service
to remote areas, tiny hamlets, little
<nown farming and mining districts.
They run on regular schedules.' They
provide maximum service at a mini
mum cost. The railroads did much to
bring civilization to the wilderness
in tlv> beginning of this nation's ex
pansion ? they do much to keep civ
lized places from degenerating back
to wilderness now.
In addition, the railroads are one
~>f our greatest taxpayers, employ
ers, purchasers of supplfes. They of
fer a gigantic market in normal
:/'mes for lujmiber, steel, copper, coal.
They arc a 'bulwark of all industry
? and an essential tpublic servant, i
REDUCE IT FURTHER
I
? j
During the past few years there
'ias been a slow but steady decrease
>.n the nation's fire losp. j
The decrease is extending into 1935,
according to figures issued by the
National Board of Fire Underwriters.
During the first six months of tkis
year, iuss totaled $136,460,000 as
compared with $168,064,000 during
the same period in 1934.
The trend is encouraging ? about a
decade ago the annual fire loss ran
in excess of $500,000,000 a year. How
ever, it is still much too high. At
least eighty per cent of fires are
unnecessary ? at least 60 per cent of
them could be prevented by thought,
care, peiihaps the expenditure of a
little money.
Every citizen should voluntarily en
IWst in the fire-fighting army in an
effort to further reduce this useless
waste. He should periodically in
spect his /property, and correct any
hazards that exist from basement to
attic. Piles of papers, improperly
stored inflammables, old or amateur
electric wiring, "liefective furnaces,
pipes and flues ? these are among the
great causes of fire in dwellings. And
a prolific outside source of fire that
| is especially dangerous during sum
mer imjonths, is dry, uncut grass.
Any local fire marshal or fire de
partment iB glad to give a citizen as
sistance in the matter of discovering
and eliminating fire hazards. Insru
ance corrVpaines are equally cooipera
tivo. Ignorance of hazards, like ig
norance of the law, is no excuse ? tilfe
knowledge that will prevent fire can
be easily obtained.
In the long run, fire loss determines
tho cost of insurance, and if wo low
or losses if will .be reflected in our
premium rate as soon as it is proved
that the waste is going to stay dowrh
Fire loss increases taxes and is a
burden to every member of the com
munity. Fire prevention should be
"egarded as both a privilege and a
duty- ? that saves lives and money and
preserves irreplacnble resources.
FACTS- I
And now the disagreeable fact
creeps oxit that no "tax-the-rich" pro
gram, no matter how confiscatory,
will ever produce enough money to
/rlnko a dent in the federal debts thav
are 'pifing up.
7fh<e deadly fact is beginning to f
into the minds of our lawmakers, an
well as into the minds of our tax
payers, that the only way to collect
the billions of dollars a year needeo
to meet present, expenditures, is b>
?a tax that reaches down into tho to<
of the sock of every individual wh
has an income above the 1>aro sub
sist ence level.
It has .been predicted that within
the next five years wo may claftri
the distinction of being ono of the
most heavily taxed nations of
world.
Farm Credit Administration
Columbia, S. C., July 27th? Indi
cating the interest (being shown by
the directors of production credit
associations in the successful oyper-!
ation of these institutions whidh art'
.established for the purpose of afford
ing tho farmer short term credits at
low rates of interest, group .mleetings
of secretaries and directors held o-!
ver three of the states comprising
the third Farm Credit Administration1
m July were splendidly attended.
Thirteen ' of these conferences
.were held, six in Georgia, tlhree in
| South Carolina, and four- in North
[Carolina. Duo to the fact that the
I annual meetings of the associations
jin Florida were being held in July,
I r.o group conferences were held in
] that state but directors of four asso
jcirtions closest to Georgia were invi
? loH to one of the meetings in that
state.
| Forty of the associations were rep
j resented by 100 per cent of their dir
joctors. The associations which had a
j perfect record for attendance of their
i directors were: Savannah, Sylvania,
' Quitman, Douglas, Dawson, Dublin,
jSwainsboio, Home, Cartersville, Ath
jens, Washington, Madison, Hartwel),
| ar.d Winder associations in Georgia,
Greenville, Clinton, Spartanburg, Co
lumbia, Aiken, Sumter, Florence, Dil
lon, Hartsville and Rock Hill in South
; Carolina, Whiteville, Lumberton, Fay
etteville,. Kinston. New Hern, Louis
(burg, Weldon, Raleigh, Henderson,
j Graham, Smithfield, Goldsboro,
j Statesville, and Cherryville in North
Carolina and Defuniak Springs and
I Monticello associations in Florida.
The average attendance for the
[three states was 83.6 per cent. Many
of those who did not attend were
prevented by providential reasons
some by reason of sickness and other
| by circumstances over which they
have no control.
Every secretary - treasurer in th
three itates was present except
one who was providentially detained
and he was represented by by the
assistant secretary - treasurer.
The r redit for the successful man
ner in which tfltfe production credit
associations in Georgia, Floridp,
North and South Carolina are oper
ating must be given to the directors
and secretaries - treasurers, said Er
nest Grahaw, president of the pro
duction credit corporation of Colum
bia, in discussing the series of con
ferences just closed.
These directors, Mr. Graham con
tinued, have taken their duties ser
iously and are doing everything in
their power to see tlh'at these institu
tions are conducted in such a man
ner that they may become firmily es
tablished and thus become permanent
sources of short tern credit to far
mers.

their arraignment here last week.
Much publicity has been given by
the ipress to tho trial of Mrs. Eva

Y. on a charge of using the mails to

They lofl very suddenly, it is report
ed.
Foryr.;?r senator Cole L. Blease
