Vol. LXXU No. 1285 Union, S. C., Wednesday Afternoon, January 25, 1922 3C Copy GOVERNOR URGES ACTION ON ROAI The building of good roads throu out South Carolina was the theme the three principal addresses at banquet of the South Carolina G< Roads association last night. This also the underlying purpose bch the association and the South Ca Una road institute, the members which with the members of the g oral assembly were the guests at banquet at the Jefferson hotel. Th ^ plans for the realization of this i and that, too, without net cost the people of the state were propos One a $50,000,000 bond issue for k building, another the state highv commission's six year $34,000,1 road building and road maintcna program, the third a combination the first two. The highway comn sion plan carries with it the issuai of $10,000,000 in bonds and the p posed combination plan would ca with it the increase of this bond is: to $50,000,000 and the consequent tension of the period of retirement The $50,000,000 bond issue pi was suggested by L. D. Jennings Sumter, president of the good roi association, who presided as toa master. Mr. Jennings is also 1 father of the compromise plan, ci ing for the enlargement and ext sion of the state highway comnr sion's proposed program. Eit! plan, Mr. Jennings said, could be s cessfully carried through with cost to the state other than the i of the state's credit and both wo result in the end in the saving to people of the state of millions of d lars which the possession of a g< system of highways would of nec sity mean. Permeating Mr. Jennings' addr and setting it apart from 99 per c of all speeches, talks and addres made and heard in South Carolina present, was an overpowering, resi less optimism. "Don't pay too nn attention," he told the legislators, the hue and cry for reduction of tai and reduce taxes only when by so ' ing you do not retard the growth the state. A county, a state or a i i tion can not stand still and when begin to cut we go backward. Let cling to the things that are wo while." Governor Cooper was the sect speaker on tfie program, pointing < to the members of the general asse bly the duty facing them to mi some provisions to meet the probl of unemployment that will face ' state in the next two years, thought. Many small farmers th ..w.. .out the state, Governor Cooper s? rrs B ditional work; factories and sto I and farms throughout the state v S be unable to employ the numbers B* men they now use and will need wl g the state once more enjoys the si 1 stantial prosperity which, he thoug a is certain to come. The buTfding I roads under some plan as suggest 1 Governor Cooper said, would prov j? employment for the unemployed t v would keep them from leaving 1 state and prevent them from b ging, the only possible altemati that he saw facing the men to thrown out of work. "This," Gove V or Cooner said, "I consider the ec ? omic thing to do. We must insi v for the people those privileges i opportunities that will make th emoy living here and enjoying it p duce more and buy more."?1 State.

SOLDIER BONUS t STRIKES SNAG ul Washington, Jan. 24.?Treasury id opposition to a soldier's bonus reit mains unchanged, but if there is to i" be a bonus it must be provided tiitrough taxation in addition to taxes imposed by existing law, Score13 tary Mellon declared tonight in a 11 letter to Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means committee. Any attempt to provide for the bo'V nus through the use of the principal and interes of the foreign debt to ie this country, he contended, would be j, futile as well as unwise." jr Mr. Mellon's letter was in response ie to a request from Mr. Fordney for an r expression of the views of the secn vetary and the treasury department >. on the government financial outlook y for the coming year and a half and for suggestions as to legislation. Submitting detailed estimates of govd ernment receipts and expenditures i- for the fiscal years, 1922 and 1923 d and the treasury plan for refunding y the short dated debt, Mr. Mellon de> clared no allowance had been made s for any extraordinary expenditures for a soldier's bonus, which would cost, on the most conservative estimates, he said, probably not less than $850,000,000 in the first two years. "The figures," he contended, "show there will be no available surplus but (j more probably a deficit, and that with lt the enormous refunding operations _ which the treasury has to conduct it ) would be dangerous in the extreme e' to attempt to finance the expenditures involved in the bonus through \ new borrowings The position of c the treasury remains unchanged, but ), if there is to be a soldier's bonus, it 1- is clear that it must be provided n for through taxation and through i: taxation in addition to the taxes im - posed by existing law." n On the other hand no indirect means of financing the bonus would y make it any less an expense to be J borne in the long run by the tax ? payer, Mr. Mellon declared, taking k nn t V-w? nvnnnco 1 tn nan tV?n fnrnicfn debt as a basis for bonus payments. It is impossible, he maintained, in advance of funding arrangements to estimate what may be collected on the foreign debt in the near future I by way of principal or interest. The ' obligations, which are in the form of demand obligations, are not, he as? serted, in shape to sell to the public, a while to offer them with the guaranty e of this government would interfere b with the treasury's refunding opera^ t*1Bn n "At the same time," he added, "it 4 would enormously complicate the ine temational situation and certainly > embarass the funding negotiations." i- It would accomplish nothing, Mr. v Mellon argued, to set aside the foreign debt for the payment of the bonus, even if enough could be realized in time.

Famous Horse is Dead i, Kstevan, Sask., Jan. 24.?Paramount Flashwood, a famous sire of the Belgian breed of horses, is dean at the farm of George Rapp near Lampman, Saskatchewan. He was h only six years old and his death is regarded as a blow to horse breeding in western Canada. 1? As a three-year-old, this magnifl8 cent specimen of horseflesh won the ls grand championship of his breed at 5 the international fair at Waterloo, la., in 1919.

AVIATOR HELD lOR STEALING AUUlANE ;i < Roscoe Turner, well Ipaown -in South Carolina as an aviator* was arrested yesterday afleraon by a government agent and a city detective on a charge of huving stolen an airplane in his possession and convening it to his own use. Turner was -located in front of an automobile erasqroom on the 1500 block of Sumter He was taken to the Richland county jail, where he will remain until federal agents decide if he is to be tr.cd in this state or Georgia. Yesterday afternoon Deputy Marshal J. W. Simmons of Cftarleston and Detective Shorter of tie Columbia police force went in Search of Turner carrying with them ? warrant charging the young aviator with having in his possession an airplane reported stolen from Parris Island. Turner was found on the i&00 block of Sumter street and although seemingly surprised at his arrest} he offered no resistance. He was* taken to the county jail where A. J. Wismer of the department of justice questioned him. The airplane which is alleged to be missing frqn Parris Island has not been recovered. Officers say the machine plleged to have been located in the portession of Turner was valued at $6,00$ and thnt it disappeared under peculiar circumstances last September. Secret service men have been working-on the case and an alleged clue picked up in Savannah is said to have led to the arrest. Roscoe Turner has done-jconsiderable flying around Columbia and in various parts of the state. He is well known in Columbia. "Yesterday he said he had been sellfrg motor cars for a local firm. Officers are undecided if the aviator I is to be tried in the federal- Courts of this state or if he will be taken to Savannah but it seems likely that he will be given a hearing in Georgia.?

Zora Mehmed, 146 years old, of Constantinople has arrived in Paris. Zora, who has been working pretty consistently for 140 years, is in excellent health and boasts of being able to carry a 200 pound weight. Zora produces identification papers and he refers to his closest competition for longevity honors, a Sioux Indian in the United States, aged 137 years, as "a mere boy." Zora has a son 95 years old and he has so many descendants that he long ago lost count. The aged Turk is a skeptic on the subject of matrimony. Having tried the experience four times, he says he speaks with a certain amount of authority. "Women," said Zora, shaking his head bitterly, "women, they may seem as sweet as the rosy dawn, but verily they are more often like thorns, hidden only by a rosy exterior."

DIFFICULTIES IN FARM CONFERENCE Washington, Jan. 24.?The nationa agricultural conference which was opened here ye. lorday with an address by President Harding got down u work on details tliis afternoon when the committees appointed at the lirsi session held their first meetings. Tht morning was gi\cn over to an oper session marked by addresses by Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing director of the war finance corporation; (!. K, Warren of Ithaca, N. V.. who has just completed a study of European conditions; Wesley C. Mitchell, New York economist, and Herbert Myrick of Springfield, Mas., editor of Farm and Home. Another open session is to he held tomorrow morning. The first signs of difficulties in the conference appeared after the defeat today of a motion by J. S. Wnnnaniaker of South Carolina for appointment of a committee on resolutions. This motion was defeated on the ground that the committees already appointed were expected to consider resolutions. Mr. Wannamaker issued a formal statement later, attacking the conference. and declaring "'about all the farmers and farm leaders have to do in this conference is to shake hands with the president, meet some official dignitary and partake of a little ice cream and cake and then go home." "Selection of committees has been made in such a manner." Mr. Wannainaker said, "as to suggest that those responsible for such service are either totally ignorant of the qualifications of the delegates or have lent themselves to a cut and dried and well baked scheme to prevent the forward looking farmer representatives from bringing any good whatever from out of the conference." He was "confident," he continued, that it was "the purpose of those responsible for the conference to destroy the farm bloc." "The president's address in opening the conference." ho continued, "indicates very clearly that such was the purpose." The committee meetings this afternoon were hold behind closed doors. It was expiated they would be occupied chiefly today with organization and, perhaps, preliminary surveys of the work assigned to them. Twelve major committees and their chairmen were appointed yesterday and these were expected to divide themselves into a number of subcommittees to work on details of their various assignments. The committees in organizing today provided in many cases for distributing the subjects before them to sub^ ij- h th that of commodity financing. One member of the committee on agricultural credit and insurance which has his subject under consideration suggested a plan probably could be worked outto provide for commodity loans running from six months to three ve \rs. His proposition would provide for the warehousing, grading and inspection of commodities, indorsement of commodity paper presented by farmers to their local banks and the handling of this paper through the federal farm loan hank system which would either discount it through the federal reserve system or i=sue debentures against the loans in the form of certifi ates of indebtedness to be sold on the open market. Stored Liquor in Hulk Pensacola, Fla., Jan. 21.?When Uncle Sam's gunners made a target of and sank the old battleship Massachusetts with shore and mobile batteries of big guns two miles from shore in the Gulf of Mexico off here last year they unknowingly provided liquor runners with an ideal transfer point for cargoes of wet goods from the Bahamas for Florida. The Massachusetts is lying in about fourteen feet of water at low tide with part of the hulk projecting above the surface. Prohibition officers recently learned that the vicinity was frequented by many fishermen, although there were few fish in the adjacent waters, and suspecting something, went aboard. No liquor was found for the reason that the importers probably had been tipped off to the impending visit but the sleuths discovered hundreds of whiskey bottle labels, broken bottles and cases, while the atmosphere reeked with the odor associated with sa loon.s and distilleries. Liquor runners had been stoiing their cargoes in the hulk and speed boats and fisher craft had been taking it ashore. _ Democrats Attend Jackson Dinner Dayton, Jan. 25.

DEBATES ON TAX POSTPONEMENT . 1 Discussions on the joint resolution ' to extend the time for paying state ? and county taxes and the bill by Sen' ator Bonhum to regulate trathe on 1 the highways of the state kept the ^ senate busy for nearly three hours ( yesterday, but nothing definite was accomplished on either measure as they were both referred back to committees for further consideration. Senator Bonham's traflic bill was killed by a vote of 11) to 16, but a few moments later this vote was reconsidered and by a vote of 23 to 8 the bdl was referred to the judiciary committee in the hope that a lot of the obi jectionable features will be iroraed ; out. | Practically all the senators were in favor of extending the time for pay! ing taxes, but as Senator Black expressed it there seemed to be 16 different ideas as to the best method of granting the xtension and after a I long debate Senator Wells' resolution to extend the time until July 15, the was resolution referred back to j the finance committee for further ; study after being sent to third readi ing. I Senator Wells' resolution called for ] an extension until July and the lin. ance committee amended the resolu 'tion so as to make the date June 1. (Senator Bcasley offered an amend- j j ment to make the date September 1 \ j and to change the date of the annual ! settlements from July 15 to Septem- j her 15. Senator Beasley read a roso ! lution adopted by the taxpayers oi : his county calling for an extension of I ,the time for paying state and county taxes. None of the amendments were ! adopted and they will be considered ' by the finance committee. The reason assigned for the recommittal of the resolution was that if the time was made September 1 it would disrupt all the tax machinery of the state and a change would have to be provided for. Several senators said June 1 would not afford relief and they favored September. The resolution, it appears, will pass in some form as practically all the senators arc in favor of relief during the depressed times. rinmr nriirr CKJIVIE. WAVC.

RAILWAY CRAFTS TO REJtti RULES Chicago, Jan. 24 (By the Assoc... led i'ressj.?Rejection of a.l ram ,'.c ! shop rules, recenuy proinu.ga.cu j the United States railroad l~.bor board, which cut time anil one half pay lor extra work from the shopmen's wages was ordered today by the commission of 100, acting for the six railway shop crafts. In a circular issued to the 500,000 shop workers in the country, the committee ordered new disputes instituted with the railway managements immediately over these rules, and failing an agreement, the disputes were ordered taken to the labor board for hearing. The circular was signed by the international presidents |oi tne siv shop crafts unions. Of the i seven rejected rules, the greatest |dissatisfaction centered on rule six, providing straight time for regularly j assigned work on Sundays and holidays. This work was previously paid j for at time and one-half. The committee proposed a substitute rule reinstating time and one-half. The board's new rules covering employees assigned to emergency work an<i to till temporary vacancies at. [outlying points wore also rejected by jthe committee, because they took away certain pay provisions contained in the. old national agreement made during federal control. Under rule 1 (?. emergency employees are paid for time worked in accordance with the practice at the home station and straight time for all time waiting ( r traveling. The union eomnutteee directed institution of a dispute to reinstate time and one-half and double time to cover all time spent on emergency assignment whether working, waiting or traveling. Similar provisions will be asked in disputes to be created over rules 12 and 1 1, applying to men assigned to temporary vacancies at outlying points and to men on road work who leave and return to their home stations daily. The board's new rule allowing th? [carriers to require a physical examination for all applications for employment was also remanded to the system federations to renegotiate with the individual roads.
