“the relief burden of South Carolina
was apparently higher than 1 that of
most of the country when the unem

in a Washington dispatch published

one out of every four families in ehecker B

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. As a matter of
fact, “big business” ha s been coddled
too much and too long uder Republi
can administrations. '
But we hold no brief for Mr. Ful-
aner. He is entirely capable of de-
fending his action in this matter if
and when the occasion arises.
