"I.KT US ECONOMIZE" Recently The News curried a full page advertisement by the Cotton Manufacturers about taxes, mostly local taxes. Comparisons showing how local taxes had grown In the past few years was given in detail. In commenting on the advertisement The Spartanburg Herald has this to say: h The Herald, as also other liasipipapers in the state, carried as a'mil page advertisement yesterday a wellprepared, highly informative and thoroughly sensible appeal to the public officials and the citizenship of this state "to get together" in a serious effort to effect economics in local government operation. We have no doubt that this exhibition of the tax status in our state was rdpd by thousands of Houtb Carolinians and by a large proportion of (j^eYn read fully and carefully. We , have no doubt that it has made an impression that will be felt hereafter. In putting this statement before the whole people the South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers' association had, of course, u self-interest, far their taxes have grown during tho past 15 years at a rate many times greater than the rate of population growth or ^business growth. But ' 'v every other taxpayer ha* the very same intereat in arriving at the insidious danger undoubtedly threatening us ail. ? It i4 shown in the foreahid statement that the average of all special chool district levies In Spartanburg county has risen from 9 to 16.33 mills since IPSO, while the county levy has1 risen from 16 to 36% and the city from 15 to 41. So much for just ten years. The rate of increase is dbyiously running far ahead of the rate of population increase. That way lies bankruptcy. The coat simply must be cut according to the cloth. It is no use to blame the public officials. They j do what public pressure demands that they do. To he sure* there may be leaks and wadteage chargeable to official mismanagement* but the big, costly drains on public funds have been ordered by the public. It is time to tame our wants and trim j our demands to what can be paid for?by public authorities, by institutions and by individuals. Using future income to indulge present wants has its limit. No matter how high the rocket may go for a time, it has to come down.
