KERP ON FIGHTING
Thoughtful people, viewing question*
oftep feel somewhat discouraged.
The political, aoctal, moral und
religious, o<lda sometimes seem to be
with the evil forces. Those who have
honestly striven for clean politics, ,\
clean social life, good morals and
sincere religious observances often
grow weary with the fight. They
see the triumph of the political trickster,
the social renegade often appears
to be quite successful, the moral
reprobate, willing to pay any price
for success, seems often to be winning.
Hut it is not as bad a-5 'I
Hccraa. EviJ has a. way of maki.ig
quite a considerable noise. It hides'
its shame under the guise of blatant
profession, and sets up false issues
with the fervor of a crusader. Many
discouraged souls, men and women
who are striving for butter conditions,
somotmjes say "What is the
use? Why be forever waging war?"
Hut there is every use in the world.
First of all, to surrender is to lose
the fruits .of past victories und the reward
i of victories yet to come. It is
not the most terrible thing to have
evil triumph. A far worse thing is
r _ for the mora! forces to give up, sur
render. The owb thing worthwhile is
to keop on fighting. If this be done,
evil v ill not ultimately t- iumpb. The
forces of evil are not nearly so invinci!
. as they seem to be. - t'nioii

Miles upon miles of good roads allow
the farmer of to-day to travel
easily and cheaply.

sermons, the latest iti news and

the old-fashioned farm home ha*'
gone and in its place i* a brand new
farm home.
These things have come to the farmer's
family through the effects of
the new industrial revolution which
is rapidly changing American rural
life. Hut your county agent is going
to allow the Southern Agriculturist
to finish this picture of what
the future holds for the development
of the farm home:
But farmers are in a new world
today. Old conditions are rapidly
passing out and a hew order is -coming.
We are in the midst of this
new industrial revolution now, and no
one can know iust where i't i.- going
to lead.
Electricity h.--been known foiling
time. Hut acting alone it \va
never"""regarded aT a vev'olut tonai \
force. Hut when it joined handwith
gasoline a lew yours ago
started the first industrial revolution
to completely change the life conditions
of the farmer.
Fifteen years ago millions of American
farmers were living in what
seemed to be hopeless isolation, The\
were, living in the sticks-" with no
efficient nu-an> of transportation.
They were eut off from any vital
part in the life of the world, and
shares! hul very siightlv in the
achievements of modern civilization.
The luxuries and conveniences of civilization
were not for them. These
were the exclusive privileges of those
who lived under the bright lights of
the city.
Millions of tlu-.-o people never
heard any good music. The> didn't
- know what it was all .bout. They
knew but little .?f the great out-Hie
world. They could not inter .nto it<
ex{K?riences. Their lives were of necessity

Laborer* Arc Few
The county agent found ;hi- very
short and very much to the point
article on the solution of the crop
surplus problem in the Southern Agriculturist
:
It is not so much new sales organizations
and new types of salesmanship
for farm commodities that
are needed, as it is a bigger aud
better demand for these commodities.
A bigger demand may created
either by educating consumers to use
more or by reducing the supply. This
is the field of promise for cooperatives.
This field is white unto harvest,
but the laborers are few.

Thia i? approximately the Heme to- <
tal en the appropriations bill written j
by the house and more than $000,000 !
leas than the senate measure. 1
The bill provides revenues in ex- (
cea* of the appropriations, Chairman
Ward of the committee said. . <
The property tax levy is made <
flexible not to exceed five mills and
not to be less than four mills.
New taxes are placed on hydroelectric
power, insurance premiums
and motor oils. .
Hydro-electric companies are taxed
thirty-five one hundredths of u mill
on each kilowatt hour geneiuted. This
will raise $1160,000 revenues, the committee
estimated.
1 Insurance companies are to pay an
additional license fee ot one-half of
one per cent on premiums collected
in the state. The estimated revenje
from this is $1110,000.
A tax of five cents on each gallon
of oil sold ,is to be levied, the estimated
revenue being $190,000.
The total estimated revenues under
the bill as brought out by* the conference
committee are expected to be
$10,627,000.
This includes $0,526,000 from the
tax commission. $3,lf>2,000 from other
sources, $240,000 from the compromise
m the Southern Railway suit,
plus tin? new taxes to be levied.
An investigation o:' power companies,
if authorized by the two
houses, will cost $50,000, and will
deducted from total- revenues, ( hairman
Ward said.
Cut. gene-al throughout 'he
bill, the chairman said.
Salaries of the legislators were left
at $400, but no expense money was
authorized.
Salaries of state employe- was cut
according to the following scale:
From $1,901 to $1,800, six per cent;
from $1,801 to $2,100, seven per cent;
from $2,102 to $2,400. eight per cent;
from $2,401 to $9,000, nine |>er cen.;
from $9,001 to $4,000, ten -pcf een:;^
and above $4,000, twelve per cent.
One of the largest cut* in thappropriations
is $107,000 which the
senate had authorized as school building
aid. The sui>erintendint is authorized
to borrow this amount, however.
in anticipation of excess inheritance
taxes.
The highway department is compelled
under terms of the 'bill to pay
one-half of the appropriation fur the
attorney general's office, which I$21,097.
