Members of iho Legislature would do well to keep lu mind the probable income of the State and then deduct from that the accumulation deficit. The difference is all that can legally be appropriated, unless more taxes are voted. I doubt if there is a candidate anywhere in the State who will deliberately declare for more taxes. If there is It can safely be predicted that he will have a quiet winter at home, instead of a hectic one in the legislature. If a father with a salary of a tiundred dollars a month should agree to buy everything that three sons and three daughters might ask for how could he finance the family? First, tie buys food, pays rent?and then spreads the remainder, perhaps?thinly among the others. Of course it would require great resolution and sticking power to curb the spenders, but sinpe father's credit carl't stand unlimited strains there will be a limit. Our Legislature should not listen to j all the spending agencies, as each unfolds the supremely unavoidable plan to save the State. I^et it, first, take care of the debts; then the services in order of importance, and in prudent scope even then; the remainder could be distributed among some of the others. We could do without a lot of things 1 ourselves, things wich like barnacles, have fastened upon us, but which contribute very little to real happiness or comfort. Many of our people are miserable all the time because they are so anxious to be happy that they crowd themselves, afflict themselves with obligations which bring embrassnients and mortifications rather than happiness. No man can be happy if dodging creditors all the time. His fine clothes \nd his handsome car mock him. A state can be as foolish as individuals, even more foolish, because a state may issue notes and bonds without considerable swank until the investing public walk out on It. There should be no deficit during this current fiscal year. As I've said once or twice, the law authorizes the State Budget Commission to reduce all appropriations so as to bring the budget into balance. If the Court allows the diversion of Highway funds that will be two million dollars; butt If the Court declares the diversion unconstitutional, the Budget Commission has the power to act at once to pre- i vent a new deficit. There is no unified control of our < State's finances. The Budget Commission prepares a total which is with- i In the expected total revenue; the Ways and Means Committee of the i House does about the same, and then j the House itself adds to the total, as favorite public work finds persistent i champions on th^ floor. The Senate , Finance Committee goes all over it ( igain and then the Senate adds to :he total from the floor. When the , 3ill reaches the Free Conference Com* , nlttee it may be reborn in another ] orm. At no stage of the legislative , proceeding has there been an inves- ( :lgation Into tho real work of the i jervice. A few questions may bo ask- j )d? and that is all. What wo need is 1 ibout the same checking and over- . milling that a big chain business j fives its locdl branches about once . t month. The present arrangement < ncourages each service to ask for jverything imaginable, knowing if it >e reduced thirty per cent it will still je yvell favored. On tho other hand, he Legislative Committees feel that .hey have made substantial reductions X they reduce them ten or fifteen per :enL Tho whole thing is more a Jocky- > ng over totals than a careful survey >f need. One of our Institutions which started out dedicated to plain living and high thinking has become so magnificently housed that the plain living has obviously gone by the board, and one fears that the high thinking is in Jeopardy. When a budget is submitted for one of our institutions it sounds like the conclusion one reaches on hearing about our army. We spend millions and millions every year, but there are always inadequacies. Would it be possiwe to build a Btate on a firm foundation of service, or must we Just play at this? One group is always trying to add a million for the common schools; another rushes in for some college, whereupon all the colleges form a Macedonian phalanx and batter down the opposition; another group would sink the state In debt, giving away money. They cry all over the Legislature until their t^ars drown the tried and true exponents of real Jeffersonian Democracy. ? Why can't, we have a definite policy on common schools and other agencies? Are we trying to teach all the children? Yes, that is our policy. But before we can get schools for the children, or get the children In school, a great crusade starts to increase the pay of the teachers and carry every child to schoo lin a bus. We run along Ln a confused manner most of, the time. We have a country which is a monument to the operation of our free institutions. 1 need not enumerate the vast wealth in our ground?minerals, metals, oil, sulphur and the host of other things; nor need we now talk of the agricultural possibilities, the wondrous scenery and stimulating climate. Whatever the heart of man can conceive can be found within our nation. Nor need I dwell on our great* ost resource: the unfettered spirit of a vigorous people, the will to do and the inspiration of great achievement Some of the things we use will bespeak the special favor, which we Americans enjoy. There are more telephones in New York City than In all Asia with its billion inhabitants. How do wo compare with the German nation which Hitler thinks fit to govern the .world? In 1937 we had an income?^we a free people?of $69,411T,d0(M>00; compared with Germany's $28,534,000,000. We a people working under the impulse and Inspiration of free enterprise, and ln spite of some handicaps, produced more ihan twice as much as a nation which is under the iron hand of specialists and tech? a ^ - - nicians of the greatest efficiency. We, with a lot of lost motion, in our hitor-miss style, have produced under our voluntary plan of individual iniciatiye vastly more than a nation directed solely in the interest of efficiency by its government. Taking the the figures for a per capita study we ! find the income $537 in our. country, as compared with $421 in Germany. Unfortunately wo almost equalled j Germany in our per capita taxes, ours; being $108 against $110 for the Ger-J mans. We paid 23.2 per cent of ourj income in taxes and Germany collected 26.2-per cent from her people. We pay heavily in taxes and in bonded debt, it is true, far too heav-| ily, I think, but we do get something! for our money. We test the standard of living by certain things enjoyed.1 Of course a nation's spiritual life and. its true standard are not infallibly reflected by creature comforts, but they are indicative "of leisure and leisure is supposed to promote culture. We used nearly twice as much electricity per person as the Germans; we consumed nearly twice as much wheat, five times as much wool, ten times as much copper. We had ten times as many books in public libraries, fifteen times as many students in college. Surely the great advantage we have in the number of students must tell of the German youth being in the army. We have three times as many movie theatres, and we have a physician for every 765 persons, compared with one for 1180 in the German Reich. Our American home is becoming as efficient as the American office and factory. Our homes abound in equipment to save time and labor and to contribute in many ways'to the enjoyment of life. Everywhere we see re^ frlgeratorB, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, electric toasters, electric irons and the like; but they are almost unknown in Germany. The great Manchester, England, Jn-' jduatyial area?one of the world's most j densely populated ? Is functioning I normally despite three weeks of spo! radio bombing by German night raiders. On an unimpeded tour of the area. American newspapermen were unable to find a single factory that had been hit. All were working full blast.

Two Sumter Girls Die In Auto Wreck Misses Dorothy Haynes, 18, was instantly killed Friday night seven mllea south of Sumter, on Highway 15, when the automobile in which she was riding turned over, and her sister, Miss Marguerito Haynes, 16, died on Sunday afternoon at the Tounsey hospital from injuries received in tho same accident. "Dallas" D. W. Pool, of Kend: ick street, driver of the car, was ndt seriously injured and was taken to his home after receiving first aid treatment at the hospital. Hall Boyle, young white man, who was also in the car, was badly bruised and lacerated, but was not considered seriously hurt. He was taken to his home in Union, after receiving first aid treatment. The four young people were all riding in a sports model Ford roadster. Just what caused the accident is not known. The Misses Haynee were students at Edmund high school and had made numerous friends in Sumter during the past nine years they have lived here. They were daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Haynes, 14 South Harvin street. Funeral services for both Of them w^re held Monday afternoon at five o'clock at the Shelley-Brunson Funeral Home and the bodies interred in the Sumter cemetery.
