The Federal Government should pro
vide appropriations especially for the
rural routes because these carry the
mails.
The tariff (taxes) has been in
creased during the period from 1925
to 1929 from 33 to 86 per cent, on
those articles that generally go into
I
the production of farm crops, and
these tariff charges have become so
heavy it has reached the point that
the farmer cannot get as much for his
crop a s he has put into making it.
These conditions have come about be
cause Congress has failed to catch the
vision of the distressing condition of
agriculture and labor. Thousands of
homes are being foreclosed and the
sentiments of home tie s 'broken and
families driven from under the roofs
where they were born. This condition
ha$ been brought about by no one law.
but by a general drift of legislation
by a Congress out of sympathy with
its suffering classes that are bearing
the brunt of the ill adjustment of
thmgs. Hen. e corporate wealth has
increased more than 83 per cent, in
the past ten years while agricultural
wealth has decreased more than 33
per cent.
Having been reared on a farm and
having fought the fight of the people
in legislative halls from my county
for the past 22 years, I believe l am
eminently qualified to be of service to
my people of the Second Congression
al District. The school teachers of the
state thought so, because seeing that
certain parts of South C/arolina were
more wealthy than other parts, I in
troduced and leought about the pas
sage of laws to equalize school teach
ers’ salaries and to guarantee school
terms for the whole state, taxing
wealth wherever it was found for this
