We ^ have r*>t endowed all this howl about teachers' pay. If well dome it w a grinding ",wl thank lea* job. If not httti*factory, they can be easily shifted. This frequently luip|>onrt in small achoots, with the good ami bad. Needles# t<? say, that, in keeping with every other governmental agency, a radical knife was "necessary to cut expends. There seems to be a no-j t'ion that wo can get on far l>etter with colleges without schools, than schools without college*. Tliat, of course, is tomfoolery?if not worse. The eating ea-ivoor of tho school situation today is tihe rotten financing of the system. This condition is (Kie ! to several causes. The etabe ia, to start with, a boby financier. It does iTrnqthmg economically. Another great IgOjuHle is the harm done by politicnkaJ to the taxkxdieeting agencies. Their continual tampering has demoralized the Whole business. In most counties people are "fast coming tc the conclusion that they do not havs to cough up taxes any more. In view of the fact that politics is equally guilty with depression in breaking down tho tax eywbem, they should rewort more and more to indirect taxes. A huge element of the population only pays what it is forced to |>ay. Either change tho system, or cut out most of the tax-eating contingent and institutions. "Shorten tho terms of the schools and colleges, and require more work. Out the garment to^uit the cloth, ami pay for both. Some ^ .seho- -Is ore already closed. They areright. lad. them live within their j means. Above all, avoid deficits. They are a great curse. Get out a j tax-collecting propaganda, not a continual wail about spending and appropriating more than is taken in. Above all, devise some plan to keep the politicians from dtfbblkng Intc tax plans of collecting. They have deferred payments 'til June, and it iw now worse than ever before.?-CaAhoun Times. NEW WAY TO COLLECT TAXES A law passed by the Legislature is going to prove embarrassing to tho3e who have not paid thenr taxes. In presenting your ticket to the clerk of court ho will look up the .record. to see if your taxes have been paid. If not, the amount of your witness fee will be applied in payment of your taxes. K works this way: If a witness or any one else has any criminal court costs coming to him, and he owes the county for l>ack Laxes, he will be given a ticket, Which he may present to the tax collector for credit on the taxes due. This will place a groat deal of book keeping on the clerk of the court and the county accountant, but it ought to bring in considerable money to the county in the course of a year or two.?Monroe Enquirer. BETTER BE CAREFUL Once again the people of Union Have been "picked up" by tramps > begging from one house to another ' and imposing upon them. C ,, a man, well dressed, with a smooth story "Sf unemployment, sickness in C family ami the usual hard "hick following such, got a nice little pocket full of money from the unsuspecting ones. He accosted a certain business man, Who directed him to the charity organizations for the dinner He was begging and he flow in a rage and mu<1, "What do you take me for?a common tramp?" The man told him that it w:vs not unusual for people to dine at the ox4>ei*se of our charities and means had been provided to take care of them. The tramp was prohibited from begging on the streets any further and He whipped oul a purse stuffed f j\ ami -aid ?1! of Union could go to a warmer climate as far as He was con. ernes!: that he had enough nnmey t., g.> a n v where.

W, Watkins, extetvI sicn agricultural economist. Widespread Interest is evident in the plans being mapped out by Washington anthorities in this and other features of the Act. The three means by which this re* t.iemont of ivcjvago in cash ci\?i>e nuiy l>e secured under the Act ure stated thus by Mr. Watkins: The allotment plan under which a processing tax will .be collected from licensed manufacturers an<l processors on each unit of product handle<l for human consumption in this country. Fuiuls so collected will be used by <t/he (Secretary of Agriculture in making benefit payments to farmers who contract witlh the government to reduce' production. These benefit payments ore to be made only to those farmers who perform their part of tihe contract, the purpose being to reward them for aiding in reducing the surplus, to the extent of making the purchasing power of their commodities equal to what it was during the pre-war period. The land-leasing plan under which the government would rent 'from the farmer the actual land and prevent it being used for growing any of the major cash crops with which the law deals. in. the ca?e of cotton only, the socalled Smith option plan may be used. This allows the cotton- grower who contr acts to reduce his production 30, per cent under that of 1032 an option on the same amount of governmentowned cotton to-be sold at the grower's order up to January 1, 1934. The grower stands a chance of making something on a rise against loss from a fall in price. "The direct benefit under these three provisions will go only to growers who enter definite agreements to reduce production," Mir. Watkina points out. "Outsiders, or those who do not enter such agreements, will continue on a world market basis. The more they produce the lower the general price, while the greater will be the benefits to insiders. "Regulations governing the exact tor ma for applying the three general principles are being developed in Washington through hearings with various (interests, and full information Is to be -made available before contracts are offered growers. The Secretary of Agriculture is permitted wide discretionary powers in the administration of the Act, m<?st of its provisions being permissory rather than mandatory." Great Drives For Poppy Days To America, now going forward in a ri(K*at drive against the economic enemies which have invaded the copntry, comes a message from the men who fifteen .years ago were giving their lives in defense of the country against an armed enemy. It comes in the form of .the little red poppy that we -will all be asked to wear on Poppy Day, May 27. It tells us to serve and sacrifice for our country now with the same patriotic spirit that those men served and died among the (poppies in France in 1917 and 1918. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance for the World War dead. Poppies glowi ng on every coat on Poppy Day will show that we still romerriber and honor the supreme sacrifice our war dead mfede for America A country which remembers <i?ssU such as their's cannot be indifferent to p** -*ent calls for patriotic service. A ong as the memory >f our heroes i.> kept bright, America can confident that heroic service will come from its citizens in every hour of need. The women of the American Legion Auxiliary, who will bring us the poppies <>n Poppy I>ay, are carrying out a very valuable work for the country. With their memorial flowers they are helping keep alive a memory more precious than vast material riches?the memory of men who were willing to die that America might live in freedom and happiness. With the poppy contributions, they are helping carry on for the disabled vetorans and fatherless families. With the poppy they are calling to us ail f to carry on for America in the spirit orf those heroic men the flower commemorates. Every American who is a true American should show his response by wearing a poppy on Poppy. Day. Florida went --n the tx-cr wagon on Monday. I 3tate Wins Out In Bailey Case Washington, May 22.?Kay BaUy. who?e legal atatua precipitated a court fight between North and $outh Carol ir>a which aeiwt the caae to the a up re me court, will bo ret-uroed to South Carolina to face triad on charges of murdering polioemah A. U. Hunt, of Greenville, IS. C.?when he U apprehended ami nrneatod. The supreme court today ordered the extradition of Bailey, alias Kay Keith, of Aaheville, N. C., to South Carolina, thus reversing action in the North Carolina courts which had refused the extradition on the conten-1 lion that Bailey has established an alibi. Meanwhile, at the office of Sheriff Robert Presnell in Yainey county. ( N. C., where Bailey lives, it was sai<! Bailey had not -been located today. ) Hunt was shot to death the night of May 1, ID32, during a gun battle | between five, men and officer* who had attempted to question two of the men after a negro taxi driver reported he suspected he was going to be robbed. Later, Bailey was arrested in North Carolina and the North Carolina governor granted the request of the South Carolina governor for extradition which was stayed by a superior court judge when Bailey produced witnesses who said he was in Asheville the day uf the gun battle. In reversing the decision of the North Carolina supreme court, which sustained an order of the triat court releasing Bailey from arrest or extradition, the court sent the case back to the North Carolina supreme court for further proceedings "not inconsistent with ?this opinion." It reviewed the case in detail and declared the record an irreconcilable conflict of evidence from which "it is npt possible to say with certainty where the truth lies.fi The opinion was rendered by Justice McReynolds, with Justices Brandeis J and Butler dissenting. It stated the) court could not properly approve the I discharge of Bailey by the. North: Carolina court* "unless it appears from the record that he succeeded in showing by clear and satisfactory evidence that he was outside the limits of South Carolina at the time of the homicide," adding, "he should not have been released unless it appeared beyond reasonable doubt that he was without the state of South Oa/rolina when the alleged offense was committed and consequently could not be a fugitive from justice." South Carolina authorities insisted that Bailey was identified as the person who fired the shot that killed Hunt and that the alibi question could not be considered.The state contended the question of extradition was the only question. The North Carolina supreme court in October, 1932, however, affirmed the release. Bailey was identified by persons who said they were certain he was the man who shot Hunt down as hp walked from a police car to the negro's taxi. Two officers with Hunt fired on the two men in the other machine, ami these two surrendered. Immediately, however, a third man walked up and began firing and soon after, two others drove up, picked up the throe and escaped. Officers said they believed one man was wounded and on May 4, Bailey was admitted to a hospital in '.Sylva, N. C., suffering from five bullet wounds. , He was arrested and charged with murder but Judge Walter E. Moore released him after extradition ipapers had been signed. The resultant fight came to the supreme court whdch today .ruled Bailey must go to South Carolina for trial.
