It'? whu* you think that malwt th?
world ' ; JT. f*
.Seem end or gay to you;
Your mind may color all (things gray
Or make them radiant hue.
Be glad today, he true and wise,
Distinguish gold from dross;
Waste neither time nor thought about
The bridge youH never eross. There'#
useful work for you to do,
For hand and brain and heart;
There's urgent Jiuman service, too,
In which to take your part.
Make every opportunity
A worthwhile gain, not loss;
The best is yours, so do not fear
The bridge you'll never .cross.
If life ?eem# drab and difficult,
Just face it with a will;
You do mot have to work alone
Since God .is with you still.
Press on with courage toward the
goal, .
With Truth your shield emboss;
Be strong, look up and just ignore
The bridge ybu'll never cross. v

In Memoriam
"God's finger touched his and he
Slept?
"He glveth His beloved sleep."
On the afternoon of August 18th, at
sunset, all that Was mortal, of Francis
! Joseph Zemp wfs laid to rest beneath
a coverlet of beautiful flowers in the
Quaker cemetery. In the passing of
( this young man the hearts of 4 large
circle of friends heat in sympathy
with the bereaved family. At all
times the contemplation of death is
sad, but in .the case of youth it is
doubly so.
lb For many years Francis had not
known perfect health and for this he
hold a particularly tender place in the
hearts of his friends and loved ones.
Ais his hold upon life became weaker,
-habbcre his suffering with . much
patience and it Is a sweet thought
that he has entered into a rest, where
there is no sickness; sorrow nor tears.

ability To Pay Should Be The Basis I
Of All Taxation I
Farrr^ lands and homes, now |>earing a disproportionate share of the tax burden, .and more than El
se classes of property are able to pay considering the unprofitable condition of agriculture, must be IB
xrded relief. | . . ? IB
TgHgjaUJg_CAN; CQMJB ONI.Y THROUGH TAXING TUB MILLIONS OF OOLLAB? IN IN- ||
JJGIBLB PROPERTY NOW ESCAPING TAXATION. , II
This intangible property is revenue-'producing and is able to nay, but because of the Constitutional II
vision that all property shall be taxed on an "equal basis according to value, and because intangibles I B
inot pay on the same basis as real- property and survive, it enjoys exemption. , ? IB
This condition must be remedied if -this State shall arrive at that basis of equity and justice that H
try dollar of wealth shall be required to bear, its proper share of- the tax burden and no form of j
alth shall bo exempted from taxation at the expense of another. I |
The relief which is.essential to the well-being of the owhers of farm lands and hoirfea must come, H
it comes at all, through dealing with the fundamentals of our tax. laws and the remedying Of constittt- V I B
nal defects. We must strike at the root of the trouble. It cannot be brought aboUt by. tax expedients, IB
ich are Only superficial and do not get at the root of the trouble. ' _... IB
CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION IS ESSENTIAL TO TAX REFORM. 11
"It is a simple matte if Changes in the State's basic law, which I advocate, will make possible, IB
rough a Constitutional amendment provUUng for.the taxation of intangible property?-mortgages, IB
cks and bonds and other interest-bearK securities?at a rate which this class of property can af- IB
d to pay without injury to itself, the rBffction of the tax on real property to a basis which it can IB
ord to pay without working hardship upon the man who owns a .home, a farm, a piece of business |B
>perty or a stock of merchandise, | j
It will also make possible the equalisation of (axes and enable the State, which Is now 7|I
assessing mercantile stocks at an actual 42 per cent, of real value, while other classes of prop- 4^ -. IB
erty are paying on a much less rate, to deal Yalrert with business and assess it on the same basis
as real estate. j j
It wH? add to the^tate*# revenues a sufficient amount to render unnecessary the obnoxious special ||
res, including the documentary stamp tax?which were put on only as an expedient?these being IB
(criminatory and hurtful$0 and operating, as sales taxes Inevitably must, operate, to injure II
? State-by turning away tne outside capital which ^South Carolina needs for its proper industrial de- I B
lopment. * IB
As a matter of justice and equity, *hy should $10,000 invested in interest-bearing securi- II
ties (which Is wealth) bear no part Of the coat of government when $10,000 invested in a farm '* IB
or home is required to pay taxes? IB
; WHV.gHOULD RBALPBOPBRTY^BE REQUIRED TO CARRY THE WHOLB BURDEN? 11
>re than $400,000,090 of - wealth in' tangible property is now escaping taxation In South Carolina. II*
Classification of property for taxatioh, which la the remedy I offer and the onljrsuggcstion advanc- H
by any candidate for Governor which strikes at the root of the trouble, will place this $400,000,000 of IB
>alth now enjoying exemption, on the Ux books "ttt a fair and just rate which it is able to pay, and IB
'ord relief to other classes of tax-payers in proportion to the millions in .revenue which will thus be IB
ded to the revenues of the state and the several counties of the State. * * IB
The revenue derived from the foregoing suggested reform, coupled with the revnue that Would arise ||
m increased taxable values brought about by favorable tax laws and the exercise, of wholesome IB'
t>nomyf would abundantly provide for every necessity without crippling any institution or impairing I B
b educational system of the State. IB>
Whatever is necessary to be done to bring about the placing of escaping property values upon the
sessmehUbook is something which by all means ^ should be done. II
In conclusion. I wish to emphasize that I would under no circumstances sanction a measure in- 11
easing the tax upon farm lands and homes. IB
