"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.
