' A man seeped in the Bible and prone to interpret it for himself and apply H to our conditions says that meas ures for relief undertaken by our gov ernment to thwart the depression have no deeply undermined the national 'Character that we must rear a new generation in order to rebuild the na tion on the bed-rock of self-help. He likens us to the children of Israel "who had grown so dependent during their servitude that they had to be corralled in the Wilderness forty years so that a new generation might come ««—a generation unspoiled by the flesh pots of Egypt. Who will succeed Kemper Cooke in the State Senate ? Who is capable of brandishing the sword as he did? Over in old Horry there are men a plenty who can be effective wearer s of Cooke’s mantle. Two inen stand out for their devotion to (3Sbke’s ideals— though many abound. The scrapping editor—H. H. Woodward is equipped to be one of the most useful men of the State, whether in the Legislature or in Conway. Lawyer, editor, Tax- leaguer, fearless, vigorous, intelligent, independent—Woodward would not only grace the Senate, but he’d serve his State wondeifully. Then ccmes to mind that big, strapping man of the people—W. P. Lewis. Delightful man, clean, purposeful, full of fight, and able to hold his own on the floor with anybody. No man in the Senate would walk over “Big Lewis;” no man would sesve bis State mere manfully. How rich is a county that can find men of that calibre! John Duncan having resigned from the Aiken delegation to the Legisla- tuie one wonders who will succeed him.

It is a fact* that the, field"services of the State over- lap a^nd cost •"lot of money unneces sarily. We have game wardens and gas samplers and feed samplers %nd seed samplers, and stamp inspectors and warehouse inspectors and insur ance inspectors and highway traffic police and bus inspectors and railroad, * axe8, ^ little - investigation showed inspectors, and Governor’s constables ^ went y thousand dollar home you what a little special pulling and pleading can do. It also shows hbw little some legislators know of real law, or how little they care for those who pay the taxes. A man recently expressed his dis gust with those who talk about high —and, may be, many others—all rid ing around at so much per mile and three dollars and a half a day for sub sistence, in adjdtion to salary. None of this is difficult work—anybody could do it. Why, then, send a half dczen~men to a community for a couple of hours each, when one maa could do it all ? In a small State like this we ought to have enough brains in the public service to organize it sen sibly. Now it was proposed to put all untechnical field services of the State under one general management and to get requisitions from each de partment and assign one man to at tend to all the State’s business in 'any one place. That would be a beginning as a State Police System, for all in spection is really a part of the so- called Police Power of the State. Another argument for State Police is this: The towns and ccunties can no longer cope with organized crime or expert bandits. Today we are not threatened by thug s with caps and greasy sweaters, but by well-dressed gun-men, running about in high-pow ered cars, armed with magazine pistols and machine guns. Befsre even a sheriff can stir, these men are be yond hi 8 county and outside his juris diction. No sheriff in the State has, a dozen deputies always at call, and ; f he had them they would not be train ed men, able to cope with all the equipment of expert robbers. A Stats Police force would make it possible to bring men together quickly in the path of gun-men and to mobilize a force that would not only catch bur glars but prove a great deterrent, dis couraging the commission of crime because capture wculd be so certain. Of course any one could draw a bill to create such a force and provide a half million dollars—additional dol- —a* “ ' lars—for the service; but it would re quire real brains to reorganize the service so as to make it efficient with out costing additional money. Our State government is today like a craay quilt. If we could do a decent piece of reconstruction of our govern ment we could have the State Police with radio, without additional ex pense. * In a few States the Legislature may call on the Supreme Court for a de cision on the constitutionality of a proposed measure. That is good com mon sense. Why should the country be upset by decisions which might have been avoided by a closajr confer ence between the Supreme fiourt and the Congress? Why should not the Legislature of South Carolina ask the State Supreme Court, when in doubt?

However great a service the symphony orchestra may render to the cultural life of Boston it can not reach more than a very small per centage of the citizens. It should pay unless it be a Goemmehtal project of. equal service to all. Manifestly it isn’t that because it chages admission. It may be highly desirable as a com munity assets; but it isn’t the sort of enterprise to pass to the taxpayers, either by grant or by remission of taxes. Now that brings us to a peculiar and puzzling condition in our own State. From time immemorial churches and schools have been exempt from taxation here. The law was that the ground actually occupied by the church itself wa s to be free of taxes. Dees that mean that a church m»y acquire farm g and town pro perty as an investment and go Scot- free of taxes? No; yet that is pre cisely what is happening in South Carolina. Under the Constitution of the State, a church, cr orphanage may claim exemption of taxes for its im mediate site, but by two or three ex traordinary statutes—all clearly vio lative of the State Constitution*— churches and orphanages and colleges may acquire—and actually do now own—property anywhere in the State was assessed at five hundred dollars. I agree with that man; he ought to be satisfied; he has no ground to kick. But how about the. other taxpayers? Nat Rice, of Greenwood, and John I. Rice, Esq., of Columbia, were the guests of G. W.
