THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1922.
New Year resolutions arc also like
pie-crusts.
The voice of the candidate will
soon be heard in the land.
A reduction in armament may
mean a reduction in taxation—but
we doubt it. .
Some women are more interested
in a reduction in weight than they
are in a reduction in armament.
The Legislature convenes next
Tuesday, and bad weather may be
expected for the next forty days.
Who says the Republican party
hasn’t accomplished anything? It
is again possible to buy a “dope" for
half a dime.
The days may be longer, but the
ones between the day that a note is
signed and the day It is due seem
powerful short.
Now that 1921 is history, let’s
step on the accelerator of business
and break all speed limits in getting
back to “normalcy.’*
If it ia true that “hell ia paved
with good intentions,” what mater
ials were used in building that rt>«d
back to “normalcy"?
It is reported that the ex-Kaiser
is about to take unto himself an
other wife. There - .10 accounting

No, Celestine, the cold spCll this

wait until August.
Some of our contemporaries are
publishing s series of srticles en
titled "Where Yo»r Tax Money (Iocs."
Bat what we want to know is where
ours is coming from.
We’ll bet a yesr’s subscription to
The People that the relatives of the
Philadelphia woman who left her
fortune to found a home for catfe
agree that she was one.

Well, anyway that Barnwell Coun
ty “still’* was properly < haperoned
if it is true that u magistrate's con
stable and a Sunday school teacher
were “among those present” when it
raided recently.
Having greased the track of pros
perity with complaints and excuses
in 1921, thereby failing to make
much headway, let's sand the rails
with grit and determination during
1922 and see if we can muke better
progress.
After reading the effusions of
some of our brother editors about
the towns in which they “live, move
and have their being,’’ we wonder
sometimes in our idle way just what
they would do if they had a real,
honest-to-goodness live town ifke
Barnwell to boost.
The People notes that several ex
changes are advocating a tax on
notes and mortgages as -i means for
raising revenue to take the place of
the proposed decrease in the prop
erty tax levy. We are in favor of
any reasonable plan whereby the
present burden of taxation may he
lightened, but we would like to ask,
in passing, whether the lender or the
borrower will pay this tax? Unless
some provision is made when the
law is framed, it would be* entirely
possible for’the lender to pass the
tax on to the borrower, whereas, if
we understand the suggestion prop
erly, the proposed tax is aimed at
the lender. Thousands of dollars
are borrowed annually by small
land-owners and tenants and notes
agyrcimting other thousads are
made by them for supplies, etc., with
which to make crops. To make this
class pay the tax would only increase
the present dissatisfaction, it seems
to os. If we are wrong, we will be
glad to have some,one of the advo
cates of the new tax set us right.
