It follow*, t?hon, that tht- t xpi'iiHc.-. of the legislature' have brrn incroas t (i. In short, the increase is due to the fact thnt theMeifishiture this year was in session forty-six days over TKo Torly-<Jay ^rlo^l pivscribed ?by the hi ate constitution and paid each of Its multitude of employes over time pay for every day over forty days, Last year this overtime pay to the legislature \s help cost $13,0fl8.75; this year, presumably, it will ' cost aiound $25,000. Assuming that $2&,000 is approxi mately corroct, let thfl people renwm "bfr that this unneeoaaavy expenditure CpUld have been either saved entire I ly or spent, for worthy purposes. Suppose, for instance, that it had been spent for nritfht and advlt schools. It wouki have been suffi* dent to pay the cost, of instructing five thousand, five hundred white people in such schools for a session. Supp<yse that it had been added to ' thv legislature's pitiful appropriation for publle school libraries. It wouH ?have made the state's expenditures for Rood reading for country school children Just six times what it is now. In short, what the legislature paid employes already amply paid for such services as they render would pro vide for*the education of ia hoat of boys and girhs, or would increase the state's aid for ease of the poor, th<? feeble-minded, the insane, the~djeaf, rjumt>, blind or the orphans or for other beneficient purposes Since the leg1 itflators receive no overtime pay, tbore is no reason why their servants ?hould. Despite the fact tfhat the state gov ernment is desperately in need of economy? the legislature of 1925 did not eliminate any position or cut the salary of any position, nor did?it adopt the recommendation of the ?State Tax Commission and require state employes to pay an income tax like other people. Why did the legislature fail to do this ? Was it because, in any matter af fecting themselves, state and legns-. ?ative employes are powerful enough veto any legislation unfavorable 1 to themselves? j How long are the people of South I Carolina going to .stand for this pi 1 j n? up of unnecessary burdens upon their backs, this ^forever increasing I drain upon their pockets?

Mr? West, governor of Oregon from 1943 Ao 1910, spent Friday with iix'.mbers of the commission us a part of the study he is making of state taxation, the immediate occasion of which is th? submission to the voters of Oregon of plans for ithe repeal of state inheritance and Income taxes. ... D V Tennessee, Mississippi, - Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia had al ready been visited and after his stay in Columbia Mr, West left yesterday afternoon for Raleigh, N. C., where ho will continue h.is investigations. "Two and ?two make four in Flor cl&i as anywhere else," the former Oregon chief executive said, "and eventually Florida paaple Will learn that they must pay. Any state that derives all its revenues?state, coun ty, school and municipal?from real property and expects to make any progress can not do it without bur dening the owners of property, v "I am going back and tell the peo ple of Oregon that any starte that ?offers liquor, women and horse rac< ing as bait to non residents can got 'them. And Florida 'has nothing to 'offer except a playground. It has no state school system. Some of its schools are operated two months of >tho year, some three months, in tho cities, of course, longer termh are adopted. "A poor man can't go to Florida. And, if progress be made, it must be paid for." Upon the'basis of his investigation, the former governor said, he intend ed to oppose the repeal of the Oregon inheritance and income taxes, con vinced that real property should not be required to bear the entire burden of government. In Oregon, he said, has recently been enacted a state stamp tax on |-obaccos modeled upon the South Car oline statute, and there was, he be lieved a place for such taxes in any well rounded tax system since they reach citizens, enjoying the benefits vf taxes, but not otherwise taxed. Mr. West was greatly impressed by "South Carolina soils which, cultivated as the Japanese cultivate apparently barren hillsides in the West, would,' he believe, work wonders. He was a great admirer of state rights, he said, and if was his inten tion to return from North Carolina to visit Clemson college. Made A Confession According to a recent issue of the Winston-Salem (N. C.) newspaper, ihe negro, Ernest Key, who was ar rested at the Lancaster Cotton Oil Co., on April 20, by Sheriff Hunter, ?at the request of the North Caro lina authorities, has made a. confes sion. According- to Key's story, he ?and another negro, named Wesley Hawkins, planned to rob a white man in Winston-Salem, named J. PI. Vaughn, on the night of August 2, 1024, at hi,* home. When Hawkins covered Mr. Vaughn with a shotgun, the victim made a move of the right ?hand towards his bosom and Haw kins thinking he was about to draw a pistol fired upon his victim, in flicting a mortal wound in --his breast. Key also carried a pistol, but claims he did no shooting as the negroes ran from the scene at once. The fugitives made their way to West Virginia and stayed a few weeks. Key came back to Lancaster late in August and was given em ployment at the oil mill where he had worked in 11*10 and 1020. -He is a son of an elderly colored woman named Maggie Key who makes her home hero in Lancaster. According to the newspaper accounts in North Carolina, rewards totaling $1,200 will be payable to Deputy Sheriff Guy Scott of Forsyth County, N. C., who worked up the evidence that led to the arrest of Hawkins in Union, S. C.. several days ago and of Key in Lancaster, as stated above.?Lan caster News.
