For Grain Harvest Get Machines Ready Biudera and combines should be checked $ver carefully to make sure that they aref In good working condition before the harvesting season starts, says County Agent W. C. McCarley, calling attention to Extension Farm Machinery Leaflet No. 2 on "Binders and Cotnbines." Binder and combine owners and operators should And this leaflet of great value in getting better service from | their harvesting machinery as it contains numerous illustrated suggestions on repairs, lubrication, care and operation. i According to C. V. Phagan, extension agricultural engineer, who prepared the leaflet, one of the most helpful features of the publication is a "trouble chart" on combines. With the aid of this chart it is possible to systematically locate cause for any trouble or difficulties that may be experienced in harvesting small grain.

Senators Henderson and Johnson |?av? introduced a concurrent resolu : Hon ' to provide for the creation of a j commission to study tlio tax system | of South Carolina as compared with i the tax system* of other stales, and to provide for the filing of a report of its findings, with its recommendations in relation thereto, with the general assembly at its next session." The commission would he made up of the governor, as chairman, the comptroller general, the chairman of the tax commission, two4nembers of the senate and two of the house to be appointed by the presiding officers, and three business mety, to be appointed by th6 governor. This iq a matter of real importance. The general assembly does not know enough about the tax system, or lack of system In South Caroliua, and about the tax systems in other stales to formulate a long runge, Intelligently planned policy with reference to taxation. No group now knows enough to do that, But the essential information can be had. A diligent study carried ou from the end of the present session until Jauuury might disclose enough facts to enable the general assembly at its next session to tackle the tough job of revising the tax system. In the absence of such a study, the job probably cannot be done satisfactorily. \ The present general assembly Is not responsible for the hodge-podge, unstudied tax system of this state. No general assembly is responsible for it. The thing has grown unplanned. Naturally, therefore, It is strong in places, weak in others; fair in spots, and unfair in other spots. So long as there is no thorough study of taxation, so long as unplanned taxation policies continue, the situation is not likely to be relieved or even alleviated. But South Carolina should, in Its own selfish interest, and also In the interest of Justice, do something to improve its taxing policies. Economic development requires this. Years ago, when taxes were low, and when there was no keen economic competition between states, a tax-as-tax-can policy was endurable. Many states then were careless, sloppy in their tax laws. Now, however, most states are keenly aware that tax laws must he intelligently planned if industry is to be attracted and aided in providing more jobs; and if trade and agriculture are to be made as profitable as possible. South Carolina, badly in need of more wealth, may be choking itself economically by some of its tax laws, and yet not realize why It is happening. Taxation is a complicated subject. It canot be understood except after careful study. Repercussions of tax laws cannot be foreseen except by deep students of taxation, and not always by them. In all likelihood, South Carolina's government, in its efforts to serve the state, has in many instances done the state serious injury because that government had failed to study and plan before acting. If the Henderson-Johnson resolu tion is passed, or If one similar to It Is passed, or if the committee of nine is continued and instructed to make a thorough tax study, the consequences might be of immense value to South Carolina for a stretch of years to come. The cost of making the study would not be great?a few thousand dollars would suffice, The benefits might range high into the millions of dollars. That looks like a good bet.?Monday's Columbia State.
