f
TAXATION IS
GREAT TANGLE
It is Monday morning in Columbia.
What is the legislative situation in
Columbia? In the language of the
late Senator Thomas E. Watson, of
Georgia, "where are we at?" In
spite of the ten weeks' continuous sessions,
the big legislation is yet to be
enacted by the general assembly, and
the members are getting very weary
and are showing the strain they are
working under. And yet no constructive
legislation so far as revenue producing
measures has yet been agreed
upon. On the other hand the State's
annual appropriation bill has passed
KniU 1a /ai tcrnn ??v%/3 i ?. i-k - 1 J -
uvin uiFUism iiuu in iiuw in uiu nanus
of a free conference. But the extraordinary
situation down here is that
these conferees cannot act on the bill
until it is seen just what revenue
measures will become law. One thing
can be .put down, if there is not some
modern legislation to tax the invisible
property of the State put on the 1
statute books the big appropriation
bill will get the veto. While nothing
aufhoriative can be stated along this '<
'line, the reader can refer to Gov. McI^eod's,
campaign statements last summer
as to problems of taxation and
economy, and the governor is the kind
of man who practices what he
preaches.
Here's the way the situation appears
to "a man up a tree:" The
house passed the big appropriation (
bill, carrying over seven million dollars;
it went to the senate and that
body passed the measure, increasing
the giand total to over eight million
dollars. But, like the story of the 1
monster "Frankenstein," the makers
of this increase, now look with awe
and fear upon their handiwork and
want to get out of the dilemna con- :
fronting them. It is a safe venture
.1 . Jl J 11 1 1 Ml Ml %
10 say mai mis Dig1 dim win ne materially
reduced from eight millions
before it becomes law.
i Revenue Legislation
Now, as to what revenue legislation:
The free conference committee
is confronted with this state of
affairs. The house is insisting that
its commodity or luxury tax law be
enacted. The senate, after having had
this bill for over a week, reported out
a general sales and occupational tax
measure as a substitute for the house
bill. This sales tax bill passed the
senate with but little more than one
hour's delvate. Although one of the
most vital issues that body has ever
considered since civil war davs, on
the open floor of the senate it has had
but brief discussion. Now with the
senate conferees urging some kind of
sales tax and the house conferees
strong for the commodity tax, they
wil1 report the result of their findings
tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. Just
what this result will be is waited with
ke<m interest, as it will have the most
direct bearing on the further length
of this session. Should there be hopeless
disagreement, then before adjournment
sine die both houses would
have to enact some compromise revenue
producing bills. In a word, the
two big issues looming up and affecting
every man, woman and child,!
white and black, in South Carolina, I
are the annual appropriation bill, and
some measure or measures that will
produce revenue other than slapping
an addition to the general property
tax. *~And something defienite along
these lines can be reasonably looked
"forward to this week. j
The above tells the tale as it stood
last Monday morning before the house
and the senate met for this week of
the legislative grind, a session which
has been prolonged more than usual.
It is a troublous situation. The
people do not want to see their schools
left idle, no money to pay teachers,
no money to build and improve school
buildings, and other institutions also
crippled and made to sit down in
sackcloth and ashes.
The big old appropriation bill hrs
been handled and millions of dollars
appropriated, but how will the big approproations
be met unless the legislature
finds some new way to raise
more money except by placing the
burden on the already exhausted property
owners of the State?
There is no way for The Herald to
tell today how the matter has come
out. Perhaps our law makers have
solved the problem by this time, but
nobody can be certain what is going to
happen in the closing days of a session.
Even the legislators, some of
them, are rather hazy when they return
home from the thick of the fight
at the close of a session and are unable
to tell you just what was done
'with this or that.

'their land for planting. Some have

MUST REMOVE
FISHING NETS
A
People Need to Know and
Help Enforce Game
Laws
- b.yv)
Editor: o '
I desire to c?dt to the attention of
the people of the inland counties of
the State the advantage of their cooperating
with this department in the
enforcement of an act of the General
Assembly of South Carolina of 1918,
which requires that all nets, seines,
or any plan or device for th estoppage
or collecting of fish must be removed
from all creeks, streams and inland
waters of the State from the setting
of the sun each Saturday until the
rising of the sun each Wednesday.
The courts of this State have recently
held that this law is in full
force and this department has taken
steps to open up the mouths and lower
parts of all of the rivers of the
State, that is, to see that no nets,
seines or any plan or device for the
stoppage or collecting of fish is used
in tne streams at these points during;
the closed time in order that the shad
and other fish may have free migration
to the benefit of the people of the
upper counties.
Also, I have recently written to all
of the Game Wardens of every county
in which the streams pass to the
coast, instructing them to see that all
nets, traps, seines or other obstructions
are removed from the streams of
their counties as required by this act.
If this is done and the people of the
different counties will co-operate in
the enforcement of the law and the
apprehension and conviction of those
who violate the law, it will mean
abundant fish throughout the State.
It will be recalled that fifteen or
twenty years ago shad were plentiful
in most of the streams of the State,
but that in recent years there have
been none, for the reason that they
were all being caught or stopped at
or near me mourns or tne different
streams. If this law is not obeyed,
it will simply mean that in a few
years we will have no shad at all in
South Carolina, for the reason that
the nature of the shad is to come up
the streams to perfectly clear water
and there spawn; then, when the
young shad are hatched out they return
to the ocean, and in time come
back to the very river in which they
were spawned. It can therefore very
readily be seen that if they are prevented
from getting 'to their spawning
grounds, that within a few years
there will be none coming up our
streams. The Government statistics
show that the shad come hack to the
rivers in which they are bred, and if
they are prevented from returning to
their breeding grounds in our rivers,
that naturally it is onlv a matter of
time before none come back.
If you will give this information to
the people of your county through
the columns of your paper, I feel sure
that you will have rendeded a service
to South Carolina, and I wish lo assure
you that the same will be appreciated
greatly by this department.

THE HORRY HERALD, OOI
YOUNG BOYS
ON LAKE
Andrew Jones, Jr., and J. &.,iVatson,
Jr., had an escapade fast Friday
afternoon which threw a scare into
their respective parents, but which
fortunately resulted in no harm'to the
little tots.
They are scarcely four years old,
but their young minds are full of
the adventurous spirit which may
make them both very successful men
later on in life.
On Friday afternoon, by some
| means they obtained possession of a
boat. They decided to explore Kingston
Lake. When they were discovered
by Miss Evelyn Snider, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Snider, and
whose home is on the shore of the
lake, the two infants had propelled
their boat out into the middle of the
stream and were the^e having a debate
perhaps as to which course they
would take in carrying out their adventure
further.
Miss Snider went out in another
boat and brought the youngsters in
without any accident.

the fact that of the one hundred'
and twenty thousand dollars spent on
the Gallivants Ferry Road, one half
or the sum of sixty thousand dollars,
was put up by the Federal govern- 5
ment, was overlooked.
It should have been stated in the
course of that article that the sum
of sixty thousand dollars was furnished
by the Federal government in
building this road, and there was no
other way whereby this sum could
have been obtained at tlie time except
by having us spend an equal
amount which was only sixty thousand
dollars.
