By SPECTATOR.
The calling of the Legislature in
■pedal ression thirty days before the
regular session seems to me a mis
take. In the first place the special
session will be expensive—but just
i another initijie series of expenses aris
ing out of this most deplorable high
way situation. Politically the extra
session is a blunder. The governor
. knows, or should know, the the legis
lature is not responsible for his
wishes. It was opposed to him last
year; how can he expect it to take his
ddb now?’ Every lawyer in the gen
eral assembly will bpw to the 'Su
preme Court and interpret thje gover
nor's course as one of arrogant assump
tion of supreme power in defiance of
law and courts. What, then, can he
possibly hope to gain by a special see
don?
Everybody is agog over the governor
and the highway matter. - We now
have the three co-ordinate depart
ments of our State government In ac
tion. The governor acted, setting a
side an organisation created! by the
legislature; the courts declared this
illegal; then the governor put the
militia in charge of'the highway de
partment and called the legislature to
settle matters.
I can’tysee what ths governor hopes
to get from the special session^fOne
result is sure—it will cost this State
S' lot of money—at least fifty thousand
dollars. What will the State receive
for this money ? Can any good result
from the special session? No;
nothing will result but talk, abuse, re
crimination, allegations supported 1 , and
unsupported,* but disregarded. It is
like stating a problem in mathematics
—a clear statement will make a fairly
easy solution. Let’s restate the prob
lem: The legislature created 1 the High
way Commission; the governor remov
ed the commissioners, abolished the
commission and created a special
board of control called the Board cf
Managers. The Supreme Court says
this is illegal; the governor puts the
T r
nously that the governing purpose is
to relieve human distress. The threat
ened orgy of State spending has no
such motive. The State is not creating
work to relieve distress; it i 8 called
on to increase salaries and expand
services in accordance with well for
mulated plans, but without regard for
the condition of those who must pay
the cost. ,
No man in touch with conditions in
South Carolina can say that we are
a prosperous people. No one who
knows our people can fail to under
stand that we are over taxedt In some
counties taxe 8 are much higher this
year than last year. I need not dis-
cuss that in detail. Whatever may be
the reason, the fact remains that in
every county in the State the most
urgent need is tp reduce the taxes
about fifty per cent. I know, of
c&iftie, a 8 well as anybody else that
such a cut is impossible overnight
without great confusion, but the need
is there just the seme. It is desirable
that some relief be given to all eur
taxpayers, not merely one class. Be
cause I am interested! in farms and
farming does not shut out from my
sympathy the merchants and manu
facturers of our State. All our peo
ple, in whatever kind cf business, need
lower taxes. Prudent statesmanship
calls for a careful study of the State
as a whole so t^at no single dollar
shall be added to our State expenses,
but that any increased yield of pres
ent taxes shall be applied to relieve
those now bearing an apprecitive bur
den. x
We shall never have any relief unjjl
we think first of the taxpayer,* and
t
not of the services he is called on to
maintain. There is no service which
is not somehow good; and no service
without friends to speak for it; but
our people should have some oppor
tunity to work without feeling that
the only result of their labor is the
chance to pay taxes.

department under the militia—which, • the highway muddle as a g ame . The

m
of course, is illegal, and calls on the
legislature to clear up matters. What
can the legislature do? I 8 it conceiv
able that it will put aside its own Ijw?
I don't think so. Then the result will
be—what? Precisely nothing, as I
see it
One hears a lot of talk about im
peaching the governor. The senate
would sit as a court and would prob-
aSly pui the governor out. But it is
the House which must bring the charge
of impeachment aHd'the House will
never vote the necessary two-thirds
for impeachment. So there will be no
impeachment The legislature, then,
Will do nothing against the governor.
On the other hand, the Senate will
probably block any bill that the House
may pass (if the House should pass
any) and 8 o neither the governor nor
the legislators will advance one inch,
as I analyze the situation.
Shall the militia continue on guard?
Well, the only way to remove the
ntiUtia would be to disband it by law.
Can we do that? /Oh, yes! Shall we
do it? Oh, no! So them you are.

cost of this session; the possible loss
of Federal funds; the very grave ques
tion of orderly, constitutional govern-
ment-r-these are not deeply studied.
One i^ught suppose it were s game
played! as a sport. Said a prominent
man in public life: “The governor can’t
afford^to withdraw the troops because
under the order of the court the same
fellows would walk in and take posses-
sion.” Welt, of course. I hold ne
brief for the Highway Department
and have ho special friendships on the
commission itself, but we can’t escape
the perfectly plain obligation to re
spect the decree of the court.
There may be a time when a citizen
may esteem the right (as he see 8 ^It)
as above any court; but it cannot be
denied that in the main the Court lies
fairy interpreted the lew. When the
couit ordered the comptroller general
to issue his warrant for back salaries
—that was a principle on which a citi
zen might .well have challenged the
authority of the court; but in this
case the governor has*put himself in
the hands of the enemy. A great pity
it is! No man who ever sat in the
governor’s chair desired more than

Triple “C” N$w* Npfet
Trip to Luray.
Company No. 468 had a very busy
trip which started off. with, the army
track taking a load of boys to the sub-
1 camp at Leray to pay a visit to the
fellows there. This trip ws made Sun
day, Dec. 8th. The men at the sub-
ciimp seem well satisfied, and will
probably be more so as they get more
settled. • ,
Religious Services.
On Monday Chaplain Phillips was
here,, and he and Mr. Inabinet, of
Barnwell, held a joint service, which
,wa 8 well attended. OnWednesday
Chaplain Pbflliils held services at
Luray.
Wrestling at Aiken.
A couple of trucks went to Aiken
Wednesday night to see Swede Sul
livan, local favorite, grapple with
Jack Ross. The results were not what
wa 8 desired, and Ross was in some
danger of having to grapple the two
truckloads, but the danger was avert
ed, nd he escaped to Augusta in safe
ty.
Wrestling in the Orderly Room.
There is a mystery hanging oyer
the camp. Everybody is’‘wondering
what happened to George (“Minus”)
Rawlinson the other evening in the
orderly room when Lieut. Knox showed
him how an Indian Death, Lock works.
Road Show/
Thursday night two truck loads of
boys from Luray came to the home
camp to see the All Fun Revue, put
on by Mr. and Mrs. Art Gilbert, and
Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. The program
was much enjoyed, as the laughter of
the spectator* proved. After the main
show thebe was playing hy the com
pany for dancing, but there was a
dance in town, that night, so no
were present. In their absence, Mr.
Bryan, our CEA, did a
and then “Duke” Gehlken, our own
performer par excellence took the
floor and' entertained for the rest of
the evening with dancing and monkey-
shines.
Basketball Game.
On Saturday the basketball team
played Montmorenci again, and this
time went down again to the tune of
36 to 11. The team fought hard, but
Wad had no practice, so the result was
not unexpected.
