RICHARDS FOR GOVERNOR XtTHkaw C/OORty Man To Make An other Try For High Honor Columbia, Feb. 6. ? John G,. Rich u rdtt of Ubertl a member of the *tate railroad commission and afore time an usuries ful candidate for the nomination a* governor; will be in the racf for governor this year, he announced yesterday. ? . "I expert," hi- laid in a written statement, "to offer ior governor of this state in the election this ?um . mer and to make the campaign upon (he ciesreut lapue of ta X reform and htrict economy in the administration of the affair* of the ?t*t* govern rrvent. "There is extravagance everywhere, ami the time ha? come to put a atop to it, and most certainly this can be i ?lone, und should be done, so far as the slato government is concerned. ? "The taxpayers of the state do not ask, and neither do I Ktand for, qh j economy that will destroy or impair, the efficiency of our institutions; but. there should bo adopted ? policy of KM/e and. sane peouomy; a .policy of I i v i ri k within our means'; an economy*, that mean* strengih and thrift. "The trouble lien in the fact .that . we have been spending, fnr the past lf> or 20 years, far beyond our mean* and without rigard for the brut in. forests- of the state and fur those who must bear the burdens of taxa tion. This accounts for the ever in - creasing effort to reach out and find other sources of revenae. Of course all wealth should boar its_ just _ pro ? portion of the burden imposed for the support of the government, but the lighter the burden the smaller ihe tax, ho the desideratum is to ' lighten the burden, and it must be done. "Among other things the state is suffering from tax inequalities. We need equalization and we need it liadly. We have the machinery a! ready set up for the proper equaliza tion of tax values, but the methods adopted in the past have been in effective ami are responsible for pres ent conditions. We have hte machin ery, so let us make it operative and effective. It cun be done and with out any great additional cost to the people of- the state. "A revaluation of the property of the state, as recommended by * h ? ? 'committee of seventeen' and sonic others, is unnecessary and .will entail a tremendous burden upon the people < f the ^tate, if carried out as pro posed. This revaluation scheme is being urged by some, at least, for the express purpose of placing a higher valuation upon farm lands, the homes of the towns and cities of ih?' state and other real property so as to raise revenues sufficient to run the government without taxing in comes, inheritances and luxuries; but the people of this state should never ' submit to this outrage, and I do Qot believe they will. Eighteen million* acre* of farm land in South Carolina are already returned upon an average value of $14 per acre. Our farmers are* the greatest sufferer* from ex cessive and burdensome taxe*,' so the effort should be to relieve them I f , rather than increase ihese burdens. "At a later day I expect to submit toy platform and to have the privilege this summer of meetirg the people in the campaign where the issues may be fully discussed and considered." i , There were 22,766 accidents in Wis i consSn last year, Including that of a man who dislocated his toe by catch ing? it in a bed sheet and that .of 89 who bumped into doors or furniture. | K$ . ? ? ? - . ? ? > | Notice of Application for Charter Notice ifc hereby given that the un dersigned will' on Monday, February 15th, apply to W.
