COMMENTS ON MEN AND THING*1 ( By Spectator) Something may be Bald in favor of jiiHt doing nothing, sometimes. It may not seem an admirable philosophy, yet not every busy man really advances the welfare , of the world. YearB ago 1 wuh attracted by a bit of Scripture: "Be still and know that 1 am God." He still. When I feel ho competent to solve all the problems which confront ub. He Btill. When all the nervous energy within me criee out for a channel of service. Be atlll. When overnight, it seems that by a statute or a decree so many age-old wrongs might be righted und human progress given a new chart. The world would never go forward if everybody stood still; we must work and push and pull and drive; but not all our pushing and striving are helpful. There comes times when we become so absorbed in our plans that wo overlook those whose cooperation we need but whoso enthusiasm at the moment does not equal that which drives our spirit. There Is so much that we might learn from the scriptures. Peter had my Idea when he brandished his sword and cut off the man's ear. Hut a greater than Peter rebuked the impetuous act. Some of the disciples saw a man doing good, but forbade him because he didn't belong to the recognized Inner Circle. Jesus rebuked them for that. It is peculiarly true of us Americans that we must be doing something all the time. "Keep busy," is the watch word. "if you don't know what to do, do something, anyhow," is allot her. In the construction of a train or i an automobile, we think first of speed , and pulling power; but the brakeare important, sometimes more im-: portant than any other part of the J mechanism. We don't boast mucli ! about the brakes, however; speed is j what entrances us. Our congress has j served usefully as good brakes in the Court program of the President. Congress could increase its usefulness, I think, by adjourning at once. The various measures pending before Congress today are, 1 think, the greatest drawback to recovery. A very fine and high-spirited friend resents the action of the Cnited States senate in rejecting the Pr?-sldent s plan to reorganize the Supreme Court, insisiting that it was an act of ingratitude and forgetful of ihe 1'resident's great services to the nation Surely that is not the correct interpretation. We have not so completely degenerated tis to be unable to think lor ourselves on every measure; nor are we so bereft tit brains, J character ami patriotism that there is, only one man among us. Granted that! we looked so small in 1932 and 1933 1 that the President appeared as Go-1 liath^ it still may be said that we are | regaining a bit of our lighting spiiit. | I think it distinctly wholesome 'hat uonuress has emerged from its trance j and is showing enough independe:i? e 1 to perform its duty. j No *.t:.? man knows it all. and no | one brain and experience can comj pass the great nation in all the \.uu[ I 1 -1 its interests I have a w a: in j regard for the President, hut I want j : ! 1 e\p, rim. ntiiig to ( ease until we j ? an "catch up.

Requeen Hives In Late Summer CleinHon, July 31.?Kequeenlng the beehives, which Ned ITevost, extension bee specialist, advises during August and early September, is an essential Job before bees go Into tbs winter. The reason he explains thus: The old queen in the hive is worn out, having laid thus far into the season. If she is left in the hive she will not lay enough eggs before fall to rear a strong colony of young bees to go into winter quarters. It is only by going into the winter with strong young bees that the hive will come out next spring in good condition to gather honey. Prevost points out that the hardest part of requeening is getting the old queen out of the hive, especially if there is no queen excluder in the hive, and advises care in this matter. When the old queen nas been found and killed, the cage containing the new queen is placed in the hive with the candy end where the bees in the hive can get to it easily and eat it out and thus release the queen from the cage. I'revdst suggests that after five days undisturbed the hive may then be opened to remove the cage if the queen has been released. Practical methods of handling bees are given simply and briefly by Mr. Prevost in Extension Circular 153, Pee Culture. farm mortgages. I cannot understand I the President's reasoning. He op-j poses continuing low interest on farm ' mortgages because "the emergency is past" and yet insists on a billion and a half to give away because the emergency is still with us. Then we have all sorts of things being carried on in the name of emergency, but to help the farmer with a bit of interest -no. sir; the emergency is past. So where are we? In order "to balance the budget" we must increase the interest rate on farm mortgages, yet it wasn't thought desirable to reduce the thought that the Intangibles tax was contrary to sound legal thinking. Here it is: If John Doe and eleven friends buy a farm for twelve thousand dollars and take out a charter as a farming corporation, each holding one thousand dollars of stock, they be- ! come a corporation. They will return the land, etc., for taxation at live thousand dollars (Hear with me. I know betterl The place, then, pays taxes; everything they buy has already been, taxed. Now if the farm should yield a profit of six thousand dollars it would pay a lot of corporation taxes.* in addition to the usual property taxes. After paying property taxes tland. buildings, implements, machinery, mules > and corporation taxes eatth partner (stockholder) takes his profit (dividend). He must pay to the state a special (ax on that di\iclond (over $300), notwithstanding his farm corporation has already puid cv??ry imaginable sort of tax. Now. do little thinking: Is that billion and a half for hand-outs. Of all the people of this nation the fanner gets the least; the little seed loan which serves such a useful purpose is not in favor $20o is not thought much of even though with it a man operates a farm, feeds his family, works usefully for society; helps support every local effort?yet J 1.000 pel ....... ,,, ? ( ( ( \ Hmp is esteemed a great social benefit and a transforming influence in our national life. The fight against excessive taxation should be open and above board; it should be a citizen, in the name of his citizenship, demanding consideration; it should not take the form of a failure to pay his taxes, unless he deliberately invites legal action to t?Pt .the \alidity of tin- tax Years 8f>o, when I thought 1 knew something about legal principles. I should have a fair tax? This same tax applies to all money received as interest on notes, mortgages, bonds, etc When conditions were hopelesslybad there was a prejudice agahuU men who held mortgages; they were not all had. but some were harsh and inconsiderate. There was a sentiment in favor of making these mortgages P?y a tax on the interest received True the mortgagor had to pay the taxes on his property, but it was thought proper to compel the mortga-' gee to pay, too. The same property, then, paid twice, but two different men did the paying. In the cane of dividends the same men pay both the property tuxes and the tuxea on their UivldendH from the same property. Kadi one run reuson HiIh out for hlin-l self. t'p to date about the only articled escaping taxation In South Carolina are chewing gum and "nipples" or "baby pacifiers"?tbey serve the same purpose and are entitled to the same consideration?one keeps the babies I quiet and the other "pacifies" the older ones. Some one has suggested that although the Intangibles tax may be double taxation, as it clearly is, it would be less objectionable if the dividends received from South Carolina corporations were exempted, the idea being to encourage Investment in South Carolina, while requiring the tax on dividends from corporations outside the state; since they pay their property and corporation taxes to other Btates. It is an idea and worth conslderaation. There may be constitutional | objections. The national and state governments have cut so deeply into big incomes that nobody can get away with much unless he has enough to retain tax specialists who can lead him into green pastures; the little fellow gets it in the neck. It must be remembered that a man's income pays an income tax over and above the limit allowed. If a inau loses $10,000 in his farming operations and receives $1,000 in dividends, he will not be allowed to show a loss of $10,000 less $1,000. He must pay the Intangibles tax on his dividends (above $300) whatever may be his 1 actual condition If he has a large I income from many sources he must! pay an income tax on the whole (over I the exemption) and the Intangibles 1 us well. Now it is undoubtedly the I right course to collect from those who I have, but there should be some Jus I tice. Now what is the effect of this? I It distinctly discourages investments I and loans. Well, of course we don't I need any loans, but we surely need I Investments. If investments are dls-1 couraged our state will "dry up" I that's all. I A study by the Charleston chamber I of commerce shows that not all own-1 era of automobiles pay property tat- I es on their cars. That should be the I easiest tax to collect, of all our tax- I es. Some escape because their cars I were bought after the first of January I and are not Included In the yearly I return of personal property. Not all I of them were bought after January 1, I however. When It comes to paying I taxes, the man who owns a home is I caught as surely aB a bear in a trap; I but the citizen without a home or -1 without land frequently escapes as I blithely as you please and wonders I why the rest of us "kick" about our I taxes. In many towns and cities men 1 are constantly coming In who never I get on the books at all; never pay I poll tax; never contribute directly to I support the city, county and state gov- I ernments. There Is no check up. no I investigation. If a man doesn't go I to the court house he usually escapes I paying personal property taxes. _____________ I U.S.ROYAIS SAFE MILEAGE Safer from Skids / 1 sure gripping / J Cogwheel Tread. 1 r m ?ii i I Safer from Blow- Wfl outs...e>ery ply m s a safety ply.
