Acquaintance Tour party when they arrive at the Southern Exposit- ion,, New York City, in th# afternoon of October sixth, according to the ten tative schedule of the itinerary. Governor Thomas dr. McLeod 1 , Chairman of the Tour, has taken the matter up with the officials of the Southern Exposition for the purpose of having the day the party will be at the Exposition set aside as South Carolina Day.” Should these plans be successful it is believed the State will receive many thousands of dol lars worth of favorable publicity. The headquarters erf the South Carolina's Acquaintance Tour were opened this week at the Chamber of Commerce in Columbia, udth Stanley Ryan, of Greenville, in charge as Tour Director. Simultaneous with the opening of the headquarters the various committees of the Tour be gan to function in earnest and the first few days much has been ac complished toward making the Tour a reality. * 1 j The tentative inenerary that has been arranged includes: Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, New Haven, Boston, Portland, Au gusta, Springfield. Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Pitts burgh, Akron. Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Har- riman Junction, Knoxville, Asheville and Spartanburg. Tentative dates for the journey are October 4th to 18th, inclusive. Besides the visit to the Southern Exposition in New York, the mem bers of the South Carolina Acquain tance Tour will be given a pleasant day in Augusta, Maine. Governor Brewster of Maine has specially re quested that the tourists visit Au gusta to enable him to return the cour tesy shown the Maine Executive and party of Maine acquaintance tourists in Columbia last Spring.

IT HAD TO BB GOOD TO iOET WHERE IT IS The Principle of INDIRECT TAXATION » , i Is Sound Founded upon good economics, which should be the basis of all taxation, indirect taxation operate* to distribute the burden and to relieve agriculture, which, in its prasent unprofitable state, is paying all. and more, tax than it can afford. I am a consistent advocate of indirect taxation, as a policy. Instead of increasing the burden upon farm lands. I maintain tha; the present tax on agriculture is too heavy, and would relieve part of the burden. I hold, hothat a Partial Sale Tax i ’ %. "*■*" as now in force and effect in South Carolina, is no k . only discriminatory class legislation, hut that it is dangerous in its operation. The nuisance faxes were put on as a matter of expediency. As long as this expedient can be resorted to, the t»x reform, which Is South Carolina's greatest need, will be staved off. A partial tax, if continued, will in the course of time, through the process of evolu tion, become a general sales tax. If sales of cigars, candy, cigarettes and soft drinka can be taxed by the State, the next step will be he taxing of shoe.’., or clothing, or sugar, or flour. Gradually all mer chandise—not only the luxuries, but the necessities as well—will fall under th e sales tax. Only One Dollar In Two Pays Taxes In South Carolina Of the more than $400,000,000 of property in this State only actual property is taxed,'although the Constitution provides that all pioperty snail be taxed equally at fu'.l value. Mo*e than $>100,000,000 in cash money, notes, mortgages and ether evidences of credit—for the greater part profit-bearing securities—is escaping taxatnn altogether. By a Constitutional amendment providing for th? tax ation of intangible property at a fair and equitable rate—a rate which it can afford to' pay—the State’s annual revenue can be supplemented to such an extent not only can we reduce, the levy on real property, but we can, in addition, eliminate the special taxes. When this is done, when South Carolina lets it be known to the world that industry and business is no longer penalized here " Capital Will Flow Into The State from the outside, and the State’s greatest need—additional industries to effect the proper economic balance between industry on the one hand and agriculture on the other—will be supplied. We cannot hope to attract the capital we need to develop our resources, however, as long as we penalize the industry we already have with obnoxious taxes. •No greater calamity could befall South Carolina than a general sates tax. It would paralyze business and stagnate industry. Through the paritehaal* tax we now have, and which is wrong in principle, we have made a beginning toward this calamitous end.^ NOTHING 3HORT OF TAX REFORM WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
