COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By Spectator
South Carolina needs a Hon Till-j
man The outstanding feature of thia|
toga) muddle over the highway funds j
is the' failure o< our leaders to lead .
Or. It may be that they are leading lit
the wrong direction.
There are few men In public office
,?ud the com passionate few who would
kill not only the goose of the golden
ogK. but would give the golden egg
to some one whose standard of llviiig
may not equal certain standards prescribed
for those who feed and fatten
at the public expense. The strange
part of this standard subsistence idea
Is that half the self-supporting peoplo
of the country haven't all the things
we are called on to give away to
others.
Whore our leadership in this state
Is lacking Is that we have substituted
personal honor, social dualities ami
oratorical gestures for vigorous lead
ershlp along fundamentally sound
lines.
Lookipg over the budget of our
state. Are we getting value In proportion
to expenditure?
The State Is the creature of the people,
the people are not the dependants
of tho State. Perhaps In time of emergency
we use an expendlent, like a
man seizing a floating log, but wo are
Just about In the same condition as
Italy and Germany. Sounds bad.
doesn't it? But what Is the difference
at bottom?
Hitler and Mussolini say that the
people belong to the State. Therefore
the people must serve the State as'
tho State ordains. Here we are claiming
that we are the State; we, the
people, are the State. But we call on
the State for everything. The next
step will be for the State to tell us
what to do, as the National Government
is doing now.
We need leadership here In South
Carolina, firm, purposeful, informed,
resourceful, even aggressive leadership,
to survey, appraise, study estimate
or evaluate what tho State is
spending our money for. We are
spending and spending without knowing
what we are doing.
Well, Congress finds the money for
W. P. A. and P. W. A. and a dozen
other agencies of spending, but It cuts
deeply' the farm benefits.
The National Government is f)nding
millions for many so-called services
which are of no great usefulness. Anything
advocated by the President
commands a large support, just on
political grounds. Congress swallowed
all tho doses prescribed by Mr. Roosevelt.
even to the disruption of the
earning power of the nation; it now
lamely and weakly follows the bellwether
Into whatever pasture he
leads.
Farm income and man's bread and
meat are above any political party. No
party means anything today.. According
to the standards of Woodrow
Wilson, Wade Hampton and Ben Tillman
we have no Democratic Party.
What we have is a lot of shrewd politicians
who have captured the South
and are embracing all sorts of fads
which are destroying the initiative of
tho people.
There was a big hearing here this
week on lite proposals to repeal the
statute which imposes a special tax
ait income derived front interest, dividends.
etc. This is a fine effort,
sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce
of the State and the South
Carolina Federation of Commerce.
I Agriculture and Industry.
The House invited two citizens (not
members of the legislature) to prest
nt arguments for and against tho repeal
of the law intangibles. Hon. R.
Beverley Herbert, widely known and
respected, argued for the tax Mr. .1
K. Breedin argued for the repeal of

I agree fully with tne argument
that no man In public ofTlce has a
lien on the place of delegate to the'
National Democratic Convention We
are becoming less and less democratic
every year. Why should anybody
have a reserve seat at the Convention
?
Well the Senate did not wait out the
pitcher, but swung at the first pltcheu
bell and la now ou flrat base. Well,
that's something. Here's hoping that
the runner, now on first, won't go to
sleep on the bag; we need a run. So,
whoever is poaching the Senate, won't
you please get the runner to try a
little Ty-Cobblng and slide for home?
One hardly knows what's what. Are
the Finns beating the stuffing out of
the Russians? No, boys, beating the
Russians is like punching a bag; you
can punch tla lot without making any
Impression.
The admirals and other men of war
are having a field day. To be able to
submit vast plans for new ships?and
all that?must delight the sould of any
bureaucrat in the military (and naval)
order catalogue. Oh, boy!
The courts have tied up the proposed
use of gasoline revenue. I have
never opposed the diversion particularly
on legal grounds, but on grounds
of sound financing and wise policy.
No matter what you may think of the
highway department the Job before us
is to do certain jobs, and we have hot
tl nished.
To think of this as a matter <y the
highway departmnet is to go wide of
the mark. The department is a group
of public servants and will readily
conform the law. But the problem of
the highways Is one which grows on
me. Each year brings more'cars, mere
buses, more trucks. All that means
more traffic. That may sound foolish,
qr simple, but recently a man having
occasion to travel frequently between
Sumter and Georgetown told me he
usually drives from Sumter to Manning
by Paxville because it is wide and
built for swift traffic, while the more
direct route from Sumter to Manning
(and three or four miles shorter) Is
by Alcolu. The direct road was built
(the Sumter County part of It) years
j ago and is narrow arid full of sharp
I and dangerous curves. My informant
| tells me that he always takes the
i longer route by night for greater ease
in driving and for safety. Here, then,
is a piece of road, possibly eight or
ten miles long, built some years ago,
that was a splendid highway for'the
traffic of 193U. but really is not suited
to the needs of 1940. \
