Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., as second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.50 Six Months .90 Three Months .50 (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY, JANUARY 3. 1935. The general assembly convenes next Tuesday and 40 days—or more— of bad weather may be expected. V Heard during the holidays: Bing Crosby attempting to croon “Silent Night, Holy Night” on a raciio pro gram. Bub-bub-bub-buh-boo-o-o! After carefully following the eiili- torials of Dr. W. W. Ball, et al., in the News and Courier for the past several months, we have come to the conclusion that the Charleston news paper is firmly convinced that if the Roosevelt adfrninistraftion "vfins the war against depression it will be a “Pyrrhic victory.” One of the reasons being advanced for immediate payment of the soldier bonus is the fact that the government seems to have plenty of money to spend on everything else. Um-m-m. Just what were the reasons advanced two or three years ago when full pay ment was being demanded and half of the amount was finally made avail able? So What? It was announced from Washington a few days ago that families in South Carolina on federal relief in Novem ber totalled only 62,666 as compared with 74,548 in October, a drop of 15.9 per cent, while obligations incurred decreased from $1,978,737 in October to $1,902,880 in November, a reduc tion of 3.8 per cent. In other words, 11,882 persons were dropped from the relief' rolls with a consequent saving of $75,857, or slightly more than $6 per person, while the 62,666 persons retained on relief cost the overnment $1,902,880, or a little over $30 per person. So what? Does this bear out the contention of many newspapers and individuals that entirely too much goes into the administration of the relief funds? In the words of the Japanese school boy, “We ask to know.” formed that he further stated that the savings thus effected on printing are to be given to these In needl of re lief. To effect these savings, it is necessary to circumvent the code in a way that works a hardship on the smaller printers. We commend the State administrator for his efforts to \economize in relief administration, provided it isn’t be ing dene exclusively at the expense of the printers of the State, all of whom are taxpayers who help intone way or another to foot the huge expenditures for relief. Is the same economic ef fort being put forth in the purchase of the various other suppiles and commodities that are handed out with such a lavis*h hand by the various county administrations? And is the same noble effort being made to economize in the matter of salaries and personnel in the 46 county relief offices, to say nothing of the State administration itself? Was there any effort at economy when common labor was being paid 30 and 40 cents an hour? Has there been any drastic redaction in the matter of personnel and salaries in the various county re lief administrations and the State ad ministration itself? If these questions can be answered in the affirmative—and doubtless they can be—then the printers of South Carolina can have no just cause for complaint when orders that they think should go to them are placed by the State administrator in Columbia at prices lower than they can proouce the work in small quantities and show a profit. And here we have been thinking all the time that the efforts of the Roose velt administration were being direct ed at effecting quick and substantial recovery along ALL lines by insuring profitable prices for finished products in order that larger wages might be paid for shorter hours! _ No Criticism. But Disapproval. Hk ; i Criticism is one thing and disap- ftrcval is another, and the difference between the two is clearly shown by the following editorial comment from the pen of Palmer W. Johnson, ediior of the Marion Star, anent the “back pay” of judges: “Of course to criticise one judge is bad! enough, but to criticise all of them is likened unto pulting one’s head into the lion’s mouth. We did merely say that they have elastic -minds, which enable them to worship the constitution from one angle and (tpit on it from another angle. All cf our “rights” are in their hands, and we merely hope that they w-ill safeguard our “rights,” when the time comes, as carefully as they have taken care of their own “rights.” But if they fail so to do, we must remem- ■ber that they are just judges—and t men—and that underneath the pified black robes there is weak- i Nobody’s Business By Gee McGee.
