THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1935. Will RoRers—“The Top.” , A world was stunned, shocked! and saddened Friday morning when word was flashed out of the cold, bleak wastes of the Arctic by that modem miracle, the radio, that Will Rogers, peerless humorist-philosopher, and Wiley Post, internationally! famous aviator, had met Death in an icy river of the frozen North. In the vernacu lar of the d*y> each of these two men was “the top’ in his chosen life work. i 1 f Will Rogers was universally loved, by all classes of the civilized world. People in all walks of life felt that they knew him intimately. He had visited in the home* of millions through the magic medium of radio; other millions knew him through his daily newspaper messages, and still others from the silver screen of the talking picture. Each of these feels a sense of personal loss in his passing. The reason? “He walkedl with kings, nor lost the common touch.” Will Rogers was more than a hum orist—he was a philosopher of rare type. He used his gifts as a humorist to carry *his listeners a philosophy of life that was refreshing. His barb ed shafts were often aimed at the foibles of politicians and the weak nesses of public polcies, but the gen tleness of his wit robbed them of any lasting sting. He took a keen interest in aviation and it has been sai<f that he did more to promote its interests than any other man, not even excepting Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. It seems ironical, there fore, that he should have met his death n a sixty-foot fall in a plane piloted by 'an aviai,/r who had flown able to improve this condition some- around the world and invaded the up per reaches of the stratosphere, thousands of feet above the surface of the earth. Wiley Post, in his sphere of life, was no less great than was Will Rogers, but he did not come into the same intimate contact with the masses of the people. There are and will be other great aviators, but there may not be an:ther Will Rogers. The world! has suffered a great haps an irreparable—loss. would, suffer severely” if the proces- own protecdon and! to improve living sors “could pass the tax on entirely,” , conditions, but there are certain activ- aftff the expressed fear that;' if that ities of labor unions of which we do were done, “relief to the farmers would np^ approve and have so expressed be offset by injury to the working ourself on various classes”—most of whom, The Post j For instance, we might have pointed out, are protected bers of'a unio by high tariff walls. /—-I —1° their The tariff is just as much a special dlitaStefiil fif tax on one particular group of citi- ’ but we contend k that mem- ght to strike their'work be any other reason, it they have no law- the man can get his insurance, or run ourselves to death betwixt it and the town pump with buckets of waiter by vollunteer department wfeepi a Are do start, someboddy gets so excited, he always pumpy too fast and breaks the pump handle and then the Are takes its coarse. yores trulie, zens for the special benefit of an- ful right to prevent other workmen other particular group as is the pro- 1 from filling their places.

But what we started out to say is, of all the foolish things that may be laid to the door of the leaders of or ganized labor, that of calling a strike of “relief workers’ ’in New York City be^ase the “security wage” paid by the federal government is low er than the union scale of wages cer tainly caps the climax—and! those who are frank enough to so express them selves are better friends to the unions than many of their own leaders. Congressman H. P. Fulmer, of the! Second S. C. District, is to be con gratulated for leading a fight in Con gress against the alleged discrimina tion against the South in the matter of freight rates. His charges were baaed Everybody knows—or should know —that what the government is doing in the way of relief work is because of an emergency bronght about by the de pression. Billions of dollars have been appropriated to safeguard: the unem ployed against privation until such time as they can find gainful occupa- , , ^ t-. tion with private industry.

Processing Taxes and 'the Tariff. Whatever may be thought of the policy of paying the farmer not to produce, the idba of raising the motley from a tax on processors was extreme ly hazardous from the start. Con gress no doubt has the .right to levy special taxes for the benefit of the Treasury as a whole, but there is a very real question, which the courts must decide, whether it has the right to put a special tax upon one partiQii- lar group for the special benefit of another particular group. Besides, if the cotton mills, flour mills and packers could pass the tax on- entirely, and without injury to : themselves, thea consupiers would; suffer severely, and iclief to the farmers would 1 be offset by injury to the working classes. But the inci- dence of taxation is never simple; each new tax has far-reaching and often cumulative effects. Few business taxes are passed on completely; fre- qqently they are passed on just enough to hurt the consumer and also retained sufficiently to work havoc with at least a part of the trade it self. Iq an industry, already de pressed, a new tax is an mportant contributing factor making for fur ther loss.—The Saturchy Evening Post. Note how fair (?) is this great moulder of public opinion upon which •ome of our South Carolina news- i paper friends rely from time to time for amratmltlbii to use in their at tacks on the Roosevelt administration! A blast against the processing tax which was designed* to lift the agri- <ultural classes from abject poverty, hot not one word of protest against Hjie high tariff, by means of which the industrial North and East have sys tematically robbed the agricultural South and West for generations!

Let Brazil have the exports, Mr. Davis said in effect, .“if our farmers have to go into runious competition” that would put them in the same economic brder as Brazilian farmers.” And that is exactly what The People- Sentinel has been contending for a long, j t}j e mayei; is keeping verry quiet long time.
