COMMENTS ON.MEN AND THINGS
By Spectator
%
Unpaid tales ars a problem. 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 war scare is being used as a
happy hunting ground for the Unions
which seem to have a strangle held
on even jobs for the national defence.
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.

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?
