WILLIAM D. COOK
Kershaw, South Carolina ?
CANDIDATE FOR THE
House of Representatives
A public spirited man ol' ability; well qualified to represent our County credita
bly; a man of high character, aggressive and progressive in all matters operating in
the interest of the public welfare. He was reared on a farm, and received his educa
tion in the common schools and at Wake Forest College; has been a farmer, school
teacher, and has for many years been engaged in the mercantile business.
He is making the race on his own merit, and not on the demerits of others; is not
aligned with any clique or faction; is the people's candidate, and not the candidate of
the privileged few. If elected, we can rest assured that he will conduct himself ac
cordingly.
Cook ad vocates the following propositions:
FIRST ? Rigid economy in the administration of the affairfc of Government along
the lines hereinafter given : (a) To abolish needless offices, including Game War
den, Farm and Home Demonstration Agents. The amount of good, accomplished by
these offices is not sufficient to justify the expense incurred by their maintenance.
The duties of the Game Warden could be taken care of by our Sheriff and Magistrates,
while the duties of the Demonstration Agents could be transferred to our schools, the
duties of these offices being largely educational in nature. (b ) To repeal burden
some tax laws, especially the Gasoline tax law. ?
SECOND ? More money to the country schools and less money to the colleges.
The majority of the poor boys and girls can not go beyond the common schools in se
curing their education, the colleges being out of their reach. Then, why appropriate
so heavily to the colleges while the common schools are doing the greatoat work?
THIRD ? To amend the automobile license tax law, so as to remove the neces
sity of buying license plates. The automobile, under the pre/aefit system, is the most
heavily taxed property one can own. We pay tax on them along with our other prop
erty, and in addition to this, have to pay the license levy. This in substance means
that we pay double taxation on automobiles, which is unjust apd unfair. Why the
discrimination? Why penalize a man for owniilg one k ind of property while all his
other property is free from the license levy?
FOURTH ? Election of all county officials, including the County Board of Com
missioners, one Commissioner tp be elected from each township and one at large for
a term of two years. There being four townships in the County, this plan would pro
vide for five Commissioners, the number that now constitutes the Board. This would
in no way affect or impair our present road system, but would operate in the interest
of efficiency for which the plan is intended. No system should be condemned until
it has proven itself a failure, but any plan calculated to improve the efficiency of any
system is in the interest of the public welfare.
FIFTH ? Biennial sessions of the Legislature, which would be an important
measure in the interest of economy. There is no apparent necessity for burdening the
State by annual sessions of the General Assembly. Why .should we continue to make -
laws every year, while many of our old laws are not being enforced? Just -an. much h
can be accomplished by the Legislature to meet once every two 'years as is beifl? afi*
complished Once every year. hlU. < . y, i ^
