The whole( session could be over in fonr weeks ao fur ua necessary action la concern- J ed. So why not? The fault la not entirely the Legislature's; we outsid-j era pluy a part. Hero's how it works, | I taking the legislators and the outsld-i era together; The Ways and Means | I Committee of the House is meeting, u week before the regnlar session, ip order to prepare the Appropriation Bill. Remember that all the State services, colleges?and what not? hav^ilready submitted their requests for the next fiscal year, sometimes well-padded, probably, so as to Jockey around and finally Biibmlt to a cut, getting too much any how. The report of the Budget Commission Is at hand, but all this Jockeying goes on again, the services trying to get larger figures, or to hold those already too large. Then, after all sorts of special clatniB are presented for variuos services by members of the General Assembly3 (who are more Interested In those services than a legislator should be) the Committee brings out u bill and presents It to the House. If the Committee has done a good Job, tho friends of all sorts of services rush In to increase the items, or add new Items (or both), one group making a deal with another so us to force something. Right there | begins the delay. In course of time somo one rises to si>oak for the taxpayers and makes a fight on these new things Ordinarily the taxpayers back home sit back and take it 1>itig down", knocked out in the first round Not always. however, and sigus point to greater vigilance and aggressiveness on the part of the taxpayers. As the session* drags along?oftentimes because the committee * won t meet, or the members won't attendsome one comes forward with a bright scheme like a persion for the teachers. That, they think, will command a big following because of the very active lobbying done by and for the teachers, together with the ambition of a few members-to pose as champions of light and liberty. Then, again, the aroused taxpayers take a hand. After a couple of weeks the House sends the bill to the Senate. What happens? Does the Senate discuss it and act on it? No! The Senate sends the bill to its Finance Committee. which proceeds with notable deliberation, after letting the bill soak in its own juice for several weeks. And that deliberation is based on another hearing (the third, mark you) of all the spenders. Again the old game is on: to raise the figures or hold the figures which are already too lngh Again the same maneuvers: friends, more friends, a little wirepulling here, a wee bit o? persuasion .*u..e_anj on.

Following what waa described by several as an explosion in the building, the ilaines spread rapidly. The tiro department responded promptly to the alarm, but was unable to subdue the llames. * I). C. Patterson And J. II. Patterson, brothers, were operators of the theater. The building was owned by Sinclair Stewart of Charlotte. J. H. Patterson stated that the equipment of the theatre, all Pradically new, was valued at about $10,000 and was Insured. Whether there waa insurance on the building The Times could not ascertain. Tuesday adjusters of fire insurance companies with which the insurance on the equipment was carried came to Fort Mill to confer with the Messrs. Patterson relative to their loss. Following the conference. J. K. Patterson said he hoped the construction of a building to replace th? burned one would be under way within a few days. Except for the front and a small section of a side wall, the walls of the burned building appear not to be greatly damaged. Whether these walls will be used in reconstruction thfe. theatre will be determined after tests of their strength have been made.?Fort Mill Times.

The correction of the i>ostage and other subterfuges would amount to a few thousand dollars?not a big sum in this day of splendiferous outpouring of the taxpayers' money, but it would have a wholesome effect, ^yhat we need most urgently is?a calm, thorough-going study of all our public services .including our colleges and schools. Let's do what we can do well, within our means, and cut off the rest. There is no sense in operating a lot of services on a starvation basis, l-et's do a few things and do tlaem well. What should be the scope of our State institutions of learning, including our schools? Are we overlapping? Are we ambitiously carrying on some Ill-conceived- courses? Are we worshipping the fetish of some mode without an appropriate evaluation of those things to us? Vigorous, resourceful, but informed ! and understanding, leadership is pur most votal need. Instead of trying to understand what the Institutions want our leaders should concentrate on the means of the people.
