What riles this _ iihlw. writer Is that the New York theaters which are catering to Nazi propaganda pictures are operated by Jews, lie says tho lurgesl German film distributing company in the United States is owned uy Joseph Shenan, Max Greenberg and Muni Podhorzer. Variety. the leading theaterlcal trades paper says these Jewish operators admit their consciences bother Lhem, but assert they were in the German film business before Hitler and to give it up now would deprive them of their bread and butter. ^ Kemp says that It would seem that after five years they could have found some other way of making a living in preference to spreading Nazi propaganda. Almost forgot?have any at you folks seen the new bus station at Chester? What's the matter with trying to persuade the Greyhound outfit to put In a modern station here? Have you ever driven along the street, following another oar in the traffic lane and suddenly find your?elf barging Into the roar Of the ear ahead, the driver of which suddenly decided to stop It happens frequently In Camden. Tuesday morning the driver of a passenger car elected to come to a sudden stop In the truffle lane and as a result was Jolted by a big truck that was following. Who Is to blame? The driver of the car ahead, for the law does not permit a car stopping In the lane of traffic to discharge or take on a passenger, or for sone one to trot Into a store lo make a purchase.

' " SCRATCH VES In the Aug. 27 primary, voters of South Carolina in an advisory referendum will pass upon the following question: "Do you favor discontinuing the legal sale of intoxicating liquors, wines, beers, or other intoxicating beverages, and the imposition of new taxes to replace lost revenues as a result of the repeal of the present liquor law?" % The paramount decision here is whether South Carolina shall return to the futile days of prohibition with their bootleg whiskey and other attendant evils ?return to a situation that would be much worse than the old days because all of our border states now permit legal sale. The era of the Roaring Twenties is not too far gone but that it can be sadly remembered. Your Jeci>ion also involves a big question of taxes and public revenues. The alcoholic beverage industry provides approximately SYooo.ooo annually in direct taxes and licenses in this state, has provided S1-1.000,000 since it was legalized bv vour vote in response to the example set bv President Roosevelt. This tax money will have to be obtained in some other form of lew against vour pocketbook if South Carolina should go back to a prohibition that fails to prohibit. Your Legislature, in an effort to be fair, has included this revenue reminder on the ballot you will mark. Do you favor new taxes? Of coarse r:iw taxes will be neceasary, else the schools, which are the biggest beneficiaries of this revenue, will suffer along with other essential functions of government. And certainly you will not permit this. It will be the Legislators' duty to decide the form of the new taxes?a sales tajt5 increased gasoline taxes> increased property taxes on homes and farms? Your "YES" or "NO" will tell them whether this is what you want. Approximately 12,000 persons are gainfully employed in the sdcoholic beverage industry of this state, which also contributes materially to the wellbeing of other industries such as railroads, automotive, building and real estate, printing, lumber, etc. And all of these pay additional taxes based on their earnings and ability. Your decision on Aug. 2 7 is not on uhether there will or will not be alcoholic beverages in South Carolina. It will be a decision on whether we will re-enthrone the bootlegger in preference to a legitimate business taxed and controlled bv state authority; on whether 12,000 persons will be thrown out of employment; on whe'her hundreds of business establishments uill be left vacant. In 1935 you directed that this business be brought out in the open where it could be regulated, controlled and be made to boar its fair share of the tax burden. Experience under this syitem falls to present cause for reversing your judgment. When von mark vour ballot next Tucutav, vote NO against a return to prohibition bootlegging and against an imposition of further tax burdens. vote"no The Alcoholic beverage industry paid taxes r of 11,010,384,378.83 in 1939 (Actv.
