♦ ; THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, MSS. THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA COMMENTS ON MEN AND NEWS Why should a one horse farmer have to live in a hut and go without most of the things enjoyed by any hundred- dol!ar-a month clerk? I’m not trying to organize a legion of one-horse farmers, but my mind 1 a ometimes pon ders that question. Why, indeed, are certain classes of - work so poorly speak I sometimes wonder of the pow er compaines are owned and operated by a lot of people with horns. I have met some representatives of the power companies and found them about like the cortimon run of men—they eat and sleep and wear clothes. Some‘of them go to church, etc. They are just paid and other kinds so well paid? I about like the rest of us. Who are Sortie bright fellow will tell me that tbis is a matter of ^supply and de mand 1 ; that if no one would do work for scant pay the reward would be greater. But, while oT course that is basically true it is also true that there are exceptions. If a physician finds himself without patients does he agree to treat a man for 25 cents, hoping to stimulate patronage? Does the lawyer without clients divide his day into eight hours and give advice or make conveyances on a pay-by-the- hour basis? Not so you can tell it. It all goes back to our tradition,— - . * some classes of work are poorly re- warded because they have always been poorly rewarded. But if social value of service be the rule by which to esti mate the value of service some of these one-gallus boys are carrying a big part of the wuild on their shoul- ders. Reduces Tax Rate. The Anderson Record ha.-: an edi torial in praise of the City Couficil of Seneca. Those gentlemen by some mistaken notion have reduced the town tax rate from thirteen to ten mills! The Record thinks this the lowest city tax in the State and at tributes it to wise management of the town’s affair.'. It is to be hoped that there is no mistake here. At 13 mills I should have taken off my hat to Seneca; but at ten mills it is uncanny. In this day of spending and spending, how can Seneca do this? Some town* have run along, doing nothing for the taxpayers but paying out all the money in salaries just the same! How about your town and your county? Are we just drifting along; or are we devoting our thought to the problem of public management? Farmers Have Less. The farmers have less than last year, I think, with ten and a half cent cotton and fairly cheap corn. That mean- less money to spend and less business in the towns, except for the bountiful spending of Untie ,Sam. That old gentleman is still handing out some prize packages. The Constitution Again. The Associated Pte^s carries r.n account in Tuesday’s paper of the point made by Council for Orange burg County irt the suit brought by officials of the county against the county for salaries. The Legislative Delegation had put the officers on a salary and stopped the fees. The of ficials cited the State Constitution in behalf of their contention. Now comes Counsel fpr the County and proves that in 1920 this section of the Constitution was changed by vote of the people, ratified by the Legislature in 1921. Why, then, may we ask, does not the official text of the Constitu tion show the change? The Code of the State, supposedly revised in 1932, carries the section that was voted out. All the couits, from the Supreme Court to the Magistrate of your baili wick, all the lawyer-'—everybody—re lies on the official text of the Constitu tion and here we find the Constitution unreliable, perversive—not even the best evidence of itself. Hereafter, if you want to know what the Constitu tion is you can’ll rely on what it says! Now, if that wouldn’t knock you out for the count of tem what would? Af ter we have just Celebrated Constitu tion Day and bought flowers and look ed 1 sanctimonious about the grand old palla,dium of our liberties we have to take it on the chin upon learning that the Constitution ain’t what it is! Now, just be easy, if not elegant, and telPTfie—wouldn’t that destroy your wonted imperturbability? I’ll say it doe.*, and then some! Now, the next time anybody asks me to swear by the Constitution or pledge fealty to it I shall insist on a health certifi cate from the Secretary of State at testing that the Constitution as printed 1 and published officially is real ly the Constitution. I told you last week that a lot of people couldn’t tell whether the Con stitution was borrowed from the great Apostle Paul-. Paul has this much in common with our Constitution: Some times you can tell what he means and sometime* you can’t. When you know what he means you look inspiredi and when you don’t you look devout. \ Even the University Law School was caught napping for there is a copy of the Constitution published by a professor of law in 1932 which says nothing about an amendment in 1920. On the contrary the text stands as was contended by the officials of Orange burg County*,, The Awful Power People. Who are the power people? Af ter hearing some of our public men the power people? A number of-men and women who own stock in power companies, sometimes pur very neigh bors, sometimes ourselves. Well if they are just average people why all the maledictions ? I wonder a lot gbout this. We’ve just got to kill a dragon and the dragon of today is the power company. Thinking about these awful power fellows almost moves me to a bit of thinking. How would you and I— farmers, mind you—like to have the Government buy thousands of acres of farm land, produce cotton at half our"' cost of producing it and tell us that we were a lot of hogs? How about it now? That would be quite a pill to swallow, wouldn’t it? Would 1 you stand this? - Would you not put up all the fight you could to protect your investment? Even if we favor all that the government is doing to these companies we should be sports men and give therrr-'a. chance to be heard. That certainly would be fair, yet I see in the papers that a certain distinguished ex-member of the Legis lature threatens to expose the wicked ness of the power companies to the Legislature, meaning that he re sents the opposition of the power peo ple to the building of competitive plants with Government money. We may be ever so enthtu-iastic over the Government projects, but we must not expect—or ask—a concern to submit tamely to that. v tfiose Ideas which it believes are bene ficial ip promoting understanding and solidarity among banking, business and the public." He adds: — "Our program for the development of satisfactory public^ relations for banking does not consist merely of newspaper publicity. It is calculated to produce a continuous and cumula tive effect by varied efforts which are aimed to work day in and day out to strengthen the real basis for good opin ion in regard to the banks. “To have favorable things said about the banking business in the newspapers and over the radio is, the PUBLIC CONFIDENCE BESTORED BY BUNKS American Bankers Association Describes Its Activities to Cre ate Better Understanding Regarding Banks NEW YOItk.—Eight different lines of activity through which the Amer ican Hankers Association is constant ly aiming to promote better public un derstanding and opinion in regard to banking and the attitude of bankers toward legislation are described in de tail in a statement made public here by R. S. Hecht, president of the asso ciation. The aim, he'says, is “to strengthen the real basis'for good opinion in re gard to the banks.” thrcugh fostering informative bank advertising in the newspapers and in other ways. The statement was issued in reply to sug gestions received urging a nation wide public educational program in regard to “the business of bafilftng and its place in the life of our country.’* Mr. Hecht declares that “we have tried very hard to convince the public that the banking fraternity has truly profited by the lessons of the past, is determined to approach all questions of banking policy frdm the broad view point of public welfare and is prepared to carry its full share of the burden in connection with all efforts to restore sound prosperity in this country.” The Means Employed In describing the various measures of the association “to exert a benefi cial influence on public opinion re garding the functions, methods and operations of banks.” Mr. Hecht enu merated the following activities: 1.

The Agricultural Commission, pro moting among bankers in the farm dis tricts the practice of aiding their farm customers in installing on their farms bet ter financial and operating methods. 7. The American Institute of Banking, having primarily to do with the technical o^ucatlon of the younger banker, but now directing these efforts toward also playing a part in Improving public relations for hanking as a whole, particularly through stressing the public responsibilities - and the ethical aspects of practical banking. R. The publication of ."Banking,” the official organ of the association, circu lating among bankers, hank directors, business executives, economists, law firms, government departments, libraries, colleges, public schools and other publica tions, presenting articles regarding bank ing and banking viewpoints. * The Objective Soafht In commenting on the foregoing pro gram, Mr. Hecht says that It Is not "the primary objective to attract attention particularly to the American Bankers Association as such, bnt rather to fo> Ult attention on and gjvt irngetui to association recognizes, very helpful 'toward creating a sound public opin ion regarding banking. But the asso ciation believes that the most impor tant thing ultimately is to foster throughout the banking profession the doing sincerely of those things that reflect favorably the sound, help ful practices of the business of bank ing, and that then the true news of its constructive activities will constitute the best answers to misrepresentations aimed at banks and bankers.” ► Predicts Farm Loan Expansion NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J v — With marked improvement in agriculture already apparent, and further improve ment confidently expected, a greatly expanded volume of farm credit will be required, especially short • term credit, according to a statement here recently by W. I. Myers, Governor of the Farm Credit Administration, Wash ington, B. C. He was speaking before the Graduate School of Banking, con ducted jointly by the American Insti tute of Banking Section of the Ameri- . can Bankers Association and Rutgers University. • -i “Some people have expressed a fear i that the Cooperative Production Credit Associations are threatening the busi ness of country banks, but these in stitutions have neither the desire nor the resources to monopolize a field which is still in the infancy of develop ment," Governor Myers said. “Farmers who get their credit on time or by charge accounts have a basis for cash loans and should’Se buying their credit from a bank, production credit associ ation or other institutions that sell credit on a business basis.” Quite a number of delegates, a. ; well as visitors from the local Baptist Church, attended the Barnwell Bap tist Association on the 15th and 16th inst.
