We daresay that approximately the same number would still be on the re lief rolls had not the expenditure of public funds been reduced most drasti cally in the past few weeks. This can* mean only one of two things: Either people of South Carolina are not able financially to bear an increased tax burden in any form (disguise it as J9S.. ffiAX)... or. have been on the relief roll s who had no business there. If the former supposition be true, then members of the legislature would be criminally negligent if they im pose additional taxes; on the other hand, if the public funds appropriated fpr relief have been wasted wantonly, a thorough investigation should place the blame squarely where it be longs.

Any law, whether it be State or national, should be .administered with common sense and Mr. Fulmer’s best defense of his action is that he was attempting to save “the little fellow” from the hardships of the code, which, it is alleged in some quarters, was written and is being administered by the large operators. It is foolish to pretend that the small operators can comply as easily as canr “the big boys.” The sphlt of the NRA is—or should be—to help business back to a ’profitable level—not to sacrifice one .group of an industry for the benefit •of its larger fellows.
