Taxes are 400 high, but the failure, of *>ra? taxpayers to P?T. adds 10 lofidj which the others must carry. If a county needs a hundred thousand dollars a year It raises the $100,000 front those who pay. If the other* paid, the amount for each man would be tor should be) leas South Carolina faces a deficit of three and a half million dollars. It is probable that unpaid taxoa due to the State ~ government ; fineludlug unpaid taxes 0/ 1040) amount to $750.00m. the univud taxes due to the schools amount to at least seven million dollars (Including 1940). Surely the nulla bonus don't amount to three million dollars There ?hould be at least four and a half million dollars ! of Slate and School district taxes. Kron three and a half million would wipe out the State deficit. Well, how would you do this as a practicable ! piece of financing? Issue State notes for five years, payable from the school and a tale delinquent taxes, gua-an'teed by the State, of course. The !suuto has assumed a larger I,art of the . h<. hool budget each year, because of the unpaid local taxes Those men who have paid their local taxes have borne a double burden. The right of the Stat- td these taxes is equitably sound, for !l)C school appropriations and Welfare gave us the State deficit. It-Kid.*, the State has made up the slack year by year. If the districts should collect the delinquent taxes they would trot know what to do with the money-though It can be readily imagined, they v.ould find a way to spend it, 1 The property tax seems to be an unsatisfactory means of maintaining our schools. Why not let the State j take over the schools and give one mill-to Welfare? One mill would j yield about $400,000 a year?four hun| fired thousand doiiars a year? Isn't [that quite enough to throw away? Just to show what this pampering and coddling of people leads to. I ; have two illustrations right where I live. The first one was a client (where on earth did they get that name?) who asked for some "ham ; meat". I'pon being asked if she v*as .supplied with meat, butter, eggs?and whatnot?she said "Yes. but I gits tired of that and want ham meat". During this Christinas season another "client" came around with this: "'They aint send me no oranges; nothing but apples; and I want some ' oranges" I don't know what kinds of cake and pie were sent out, but if each client did not receive at least one chocolate cake, one cocoanut cake, and a couple of mince pies.along with a fruit cake and a plum pudding it oueht to be looked into, with suitable amends and ai>ologies. "The State" t-lls of Sumter's traffic re cord. 1 drive to or through Sumter several times a week and. am always impressed by the careful observance of regulations there. It isn't just a matter of lights; when the sign says to stop, the Sumterites stop; if it says o be cautious, they are cautious; and if i: >ays that a street is an express! s'tr-et. the ears on the streets ap-j proa hit.a' one to a c.otnplc'e ttop and wait.

I wonder why any man must be (or become 1 a I'nion man in order to work on a job paid for by his Government Is it p<wsible that only Union men will he drafted to fight in the army. nav\ and marine ? corps? Tho wo should gry together. If only memb.-rs of 'private organizations (in this t-e unions! may have jobs as civilians in-d'-fenco work, why should t-hey not take over the figlhirvg too? Why not either open all contracts for Government work to any and all citizens. js such, or else call on the favored 'groups to do the fighting? All of us believe In such organization of labor as to protect the worlp ers, but the Government should not recognize any distinction among its citizens; we should all stand equal before the Government. Indeed, that is a cardinal principle of Amenca, that all men are free and equal; and surely no man's equality with all others is recognized if he must jo:n a private organization in order to work for the country which he supports and which he must fight for. No man would be so foolish 'as to say that no one should be employed in the treasury or other financial I departments uhless he be a member of I the American Hankers* Association; nor would any one insist thah all seed-loan workers; A. A. A. workers. Intension service workers; agriculture teachers?and the like?must be chosen from the Grange or the Farm Bureau. , Organized l-abor numbers probably j less than 20 per cent of die workers of the United States. It deserves the ; whole-hearted support of the workers j and has rendered them tine service. | but it should have no place in the Government. although -it makes i politicians have conniption fits every j tine* it raises its head The curse of Government by pros*! , ftiiv etoups i> that public men bec<?in*? such arrant cowards. We are afraid of the farmers (though we farmers are a lot of innocent lambs); ; an 1 then \\e are scared to death of! I labor: <>r :h-> school teachers intim-l i idate us; or is it ufTicia'dom in the aggregate? Perhaps it is the Welfare arousement--or some other sort of terrifying organization?which frightens us so that we dare not be men. Why not be a man? Kvcu though de-j feated. we can still be men. Here i$ an item which puzzles me: During the first eleven months of 1940 tie* United States exported 346.S79 I tons of copper, nearly a third of it to Japan, but we are buying 100,000 tuns of copper from South America for our need8. If we need copper beyond our own production, why do we export it I to Japan? PLANTING OF MEMORIAL TREES AT QUAKER CEMETERY Weduesday affcruoon at 3:30. the plautiug of a tree In honor of (iMicral Robert K Lee, whose birthday fell ou the Sunday previous, the 19th. was the occasion of the gathering of the United Daughters of the Coofudwacy, John 1> Kennedy chapter, and a few other interested citizens. Each year the laughters plant these trees in every state in the Union, and this year the 'Cainden chapter decided to plant one on the lot where Richard Kirklaud and llobson Hilton tie buried. Daughters have given memory plants of white spirea and red4>eriied nandina and the colors of the Confederacy will mark the U.' D. C. lot. Two other memorial trees were planted near the graves of the unknown soldiers, to take the place of pines that had to be removed. These wqre in memory of Miss Minnie C'lyburn, who succeeded Mrs. N. C. Arnett as chairman of the planting and cared for the magnolia trees on Monument Square in honor of the boys who made the supreme sacrifice in 191719IS, and of Mrs. Rebecca West, a real daughter of the Confederacy?the oldest member of the John D. Kennedy chapter, and one of UieLJpur girls who hovelled the Confederate monument on Monument Square. The hively Darlington oaks were the present oZ Miss Fannie Fletcher, and Street Commissioner James Raley and Mr. Trait assisted in the planting. The following program was carried out: The pledge of the Flag led by Johnnie Wall; salute to the Flag by the V. D. C.; prayer wirtten.by Bishop Ellison Capers. Mrs. Von Tr&sckow; Lord's Prayer in unison; planting of tree in honor of General Lee; tribute to General Lee as given by Mr. Cameron of Ford's Sunday evening program.
