SOME SCHOOL REFLECTIONS
Our ivadara know that the Oalhoun
Times is a friend of the echth>U. 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 ^

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

C ,, a man, well dressed, with a smooth

that it w:vs not unusual for people to

'Retirement Of Land
Feature Of Farm Act
OJemson Oellegp, May 20.?Tim
Plans to roe tor? normal buying power
bo farm products through the Kmergomy
j Agricultural Act involve, in
addition to controlled inflation, the
retirement of around 40 million acres
of land in .the United States from
I t'he production of certain major cash
crops?cotton, tobacco, wheat, rice,
corn, hogs, cotton, milk and its proI
duota?-oays 1). 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.

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.
