When t?nu? comes, as it will, tha

countries al out the greatest of ocean

R ATION NOTED 1
IN LAND VALUES
The valuation of lands in the state
>r taxation is marked everywhere by
11 iation and inconsistency, accord- t
g to Prof. Wilson Gee of the Uni- '
irsity of South Carolina, who has :
. pared a summary of the tax valu- f
Lions of lands in the various coun- <
es as compared with the value of ?
lest- lands as reported in the 1920
nsus reports. In no county, he j ]
<i.-. has the property bzeen valued <
l 12 per cent, of its reported value i
> taken in the census, the highest <
aluation, 22.9 per cent, being taken <
i Jasper county and the lowest, 7.2 :
eivent in Clarendon county.
"The state constitution of 1895,"
Tofessor Gee points out, "provides
hat 'all taxes upon property, real .
nd personal, shall be laid upon tho
dual value of the property taxed,
s lie same shall be ascertained by
a assessment made for the purpose
laying such a tax.' A further
aise states that 'the general nsembly
shall provide by law for a
nil'orm and equal rate of assess.ent
and taxation, and shall preribe
regulations to secure a iust
i luation for taxation of all propery,
real, personal and possessory.'
"If the tax assessments in the
tTcrent counties of the state were
pon the same basis, the percentage
hat the assessed value is of the Genus
value should be approximately
he same throughout the state. Acopting
the census values of land as
uniform approximation to the true
slues, we find that the highest pcrentage
that the assessed value is
the census vaule in any county in
ie state is 22.9 per cent in Jasper
unty. The variation is from that
yure to 7.2 per cent in the case of
aremlon and Oconee counties. The
ate average is 11.3 per cent. Foureon
counties rank below this average.
"The citation of these facts
hows the soundness of the recomundations
of the joint special comlittee
with regard to the adoption
v the people of South Carolina at
he general election of 1922 of constiitional
amendments that should be
assed by the general assembly at its
esent session. The passage of
hose amendments would lead to to a
' Moral revaluation act, followed by
he later enactment of a compreheno
revenue act combining into one
rmonious whole a remodeled propty
tax, the income tax, the business
tx and the inheritance tax."?The
tate.
^uxuries Tax Bill
Comes up Tuesday
The luxuries tax bill, affecting to
>*.iCco, soft drinks and beverages, au
mobiles and trucks, theater tickets
nd small arms ammunition, will come
p for debate on second reading ir
be house Tuesday, having been fixed
is a special order for that date at
he session yesterday.
The bill, which was introduced b>
ho ways and means committee Thurs
lay as the last of the series of new
- venue measures, came up for conderation
yesterday only to meet with
i" objection of Representative O. A
ydi i< k of Orangeburg. Mr. Hydrick
>r withdrew his objection and E.
Hughes of Marion, chairman of the
ay- and means committee, made the
lotion fixing the bill as a special or!t
r immediately after third reading
lills Tuesday.
The bill, touching as it does so
iany branches of business, is expectil
to encounter far more determined
Imposition in the house than has been
he lot of the income tax, the hydrolectric
tax and the two corporation
ax bills, all of which were passed by
h-ui-e practically without debate,
'ertain members of the ways and ,
neans committee, according to Chairai.
Hughes, are preparing amendments
to the b ll to include in the list
f luxuries certain articles of clothing
h s silk underwear, silk hosiery
ilk shirts, etc. This amendment will
e modeled upon the similar tax im- j
oscd by the federal government as a j
ar revenue measure.?The State. ]

Washington, Jan. 27.?The average 1

110-21, announced the United States <
epartnicnt of Agriculture today. 1
his decline is unparalleled within the '
ope of records of the department

During the years immediately fol- <
wing the Civil War the general
end (tf the average was downward, y
ppInp from about $14 or $15 per
re to less than $8 by 1806, the lowt.
point in the industrial depression
that time. An advance then set in
d by 1013 the average value per
re was $16.40. The following year
ere was a slight decline to $16.44

ate entered the world war, the averse
ad anced to $22.58, or $6.14 in

By far the greatest gain in one year
average value per acre for 10

e average for the latter year being
3.25. The average for 1018 was
3.73. The average continued to rise
I n 1010 reached the peak of

SONUS GESTURE
CAUSING WORR
By H. W. Roberta.
Washington, Jan, 87.?Reapeotii
he bonus, eupheraisticaly term
'adjusted compensation for form
3oldiers," the Republicans in cot
?ress are between Svylla and Chary
lis, or "the devil and the deep bl
jea."
This is an election year, and t
Republicans, if indications are at i
symptomatic, have reason to fear t
result. They are very anxious to i
dulge a handsome gesture for t
delectation of the 4,000,000 Americ
soldiers, and they would hastily
so but for the fact that their condi
would jA'ove seriously offensive
"biff business." They can not i
crease appropriations without eli
inatinff their claim to economic t
ministration, and without adding
the "burden" of the very rich men
he United States?many of who
incidentally, are alleged to have pr
iteered during the war.
If the Republicans could eat th
cake and still have it, the path ahe
would be smooth, indeed. Inasmu
however, as they can not play bt
ends against the middle, they t
squirming in a mental and moral e
harrassment which by all their ai
ice, they can not conceal.
In the midst of it al, Andrew
Mellon, secretary of the treasury,
nroving a most embarrassing r
disconcerting factor. Mr. Mellon is
very rich man. He opposes the 1
nus for the same reason whi
prompts other very rich men to <
pose it. At the same time, with i
possession of much money, he is ]
iitically independent. His judgnv
is not biased by argument based
expediency.
Therefore, when Representat
Joseph Fordney of Michigan, eh?
man of the ways and means comn
tee, conceived the idea thtat the 1
publicans could pay the bonus t
at the same time leave the treasi
intact, he called on the secretary
the treasury to assume the role of
"yes" man. But the secretary repl
Lhat an attempt to pay the bot
with interest^to be collected in 1
indefinite future on the $11,000,0C
000 European indebtedness to 1
United States would be both impr
ticable and foolish.
Mr. Mellon argued against
payment of any bonus. Proceed!
on the theory that congress, desp
his advice, might proceed with boi
legislation, he presented figures
dicating that a1 bonus would cost i
government $860,000,000,000 the fi
two years of its operation.
According to Mr. Mellon, new ti
es must be voted. It is a safe p
diction that tho .Republicans, even
satisfy the spTaiars, will not vote n
taxes this year. For this ts an el
tion year. It is difficult to beli<
that even if they retain control
both houses of congress, they woi
be willing to jeopardize their pre
dential chances by offending 1
money power next year, or the y<
thereafter.
Democrats who are closely obse
ing the situation admit that a gr<
deal depends on the. attitude or I
action of the president. So
months ago, the senate undertok C(
sideration of a bonus bill over 1
protest of only those senators w
are willing to take their politic
lives in their hand to the end the pi
lie good might be conserved. 1
president appeared in person and <
plaining the condition of the trei
ury, protested against the bill. T
Republicans immediately dropped
Secretary Mellon is authority for (
statement that there has occurred
radical change for the better in trei
ury conditions. There is always t
chance, as a result, that if Reput
can politicians attempt again to r
over the bonus on the eve of the c<
grcssional campaigns, the preside
will again step in and smash tin
idols.
