"Blaming Manning.”
The political opponents of Governor
Manning are doing all in their power
to turn the “insurance muddle” into
political capital to use against him in
his race for re-election this summer
In this connection it might be well to
consider some of the things Mr. Man
ning would have been charged with
had he vetoed the bill and these are
clearly covered in the following edi
torial from the Newberry Observer
There are some men blaming Man
ning for the insurance muddle. They
say he ought to have vetoed the bill
Suppose he had—what would have
happened? '
The first thing would have been
that a lot of his “political enemies”
would have charged him with vetoing
a good law that would have saved
lots of money to the people who in
sure their property.
And there Would have been no way
to disprove it.
Hadn’t Mr. McLaurin told the
public that he could get all the in
surance needed ? He telegraphed
the statement from New York, and
repeated it after he came back. Bir
McMaster also said there would be
plenty of insurance companies to do
all the business needed.
If Manning had vetoed the bill
the insurance companies would
have continued to make the rates;
and things would have gone as before
—and the cry -would have sounded
and resounded from the mountains
to the sea that when the legislature
offered the people relief from exor
bitant rates the governor stepped in
and snatched it away from them.
It is not at all unlikely that the
accusation would have been made
that he had been “bought” by the in
surance companies. |
Gov. Manmag^no' more knew what
would happen when he signad the bill
than any other ntisen; but he knew
that there was no emergency, no
extraordinary circumstance, that
justified his using the veto. He may
have differed with the great majority
in both houses as to the Vipdom of
the bill, or he may not; but he knew
it was never contemplated that
the governor should veto all bills
that he thought unwise and approve
only those he thought wise; that
would make him a part, and a very
large part too, of the legislative de
partment—and tf!*’ cons/tution de
clares hat the two departments shall
forever bw kept separate.
According to our way of thinking,
the governor did exactly right in ap
proving the bill. And we are sure
that he did it conscientiously, and
without a moment's consideration of
the effect it might have on his po
litical future. We do not believe
any of his official acts are influenced
one parttcte by that sort of consid
eration; but he dot's what he believes
* to be his duty, and lets it go at that.
No doubt he 4ikes the good will of
the people, apd would like to have
their endorsement of his course; but
he is not a man to dodge responsibili
ty or to swerve from the straight
path of duty in order to win popu
larity.
It -looks to many persons now as
if the insurance act was a blunder,
and that the governor ought to have
interposed his veto tii prevent it. v If
he had done so, the legislature Would
very likely have passed it over his
veto. And then the same things would
have happened as have happened.
Or if the veto bad prevented the
bill fVom becoming law, it never
would havt; been known but what
Mr. McLaurin could really have ar
ranged to, get. all the insurance the
state needed-—and
Manning would have been in the
deepest sort of a hole, while Mc
Laurin could .have pQ^ed* as the
friepd of the people, whose plans
hajdjbeen' thwarted by the governor.
Weare sure the governor did ex
actly right in signing the insurance
bill, and we believe many of those
who have been blaming him for do
ing it will come tp that conclusion,
even if the governor -should fail—as
McMaster and McLaurin have al
ready failed in bringing about a set
tlement of the muddle. If any man in
the state can, Manning can.
clerk has been authorized to issue ex
ecutions against these delinquents, and
that already a hundred dollars or
more have been collected.
The People, in common with others
who pay their taxes annuallf, can see
no reason whatever for allowing prop
erty owners to “get by” without pay
ing their taxes. Fpr one c thing', it
establishes a bad precedent. Mr: A.
learns that Mr. B. hasn’t paid any
taxes for two or three years and the
question is immediately raised, “If
my neighbor doesn’t have to pay tax
es, why should I?” If the people of a
community are taxed just enough to
pay the costs of government and 25
per cent of them fail to pay their
share, it stands to reason that the re
maining 75 per cent will have to be
unjustly taxed to make up the de
ficiency. This is manifestly unfair.
The People, hopes, therefore, that
drastic action will be taken against
the delinquents. The property is
there fqr the amount of ta^es due and
if the owner fails or refuses to pay,
his property should be advertised and
sold. “Hew to the line, let the chips
fall where they may.”
< Politics in South Carolina comes
about as near being perpetual motion
as anything yet produced.
