BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL. BARNWELL. 80011 CAROLINA THVRPDAY. NOVI It. im COMMENTS ON MEN AND NEWS By SPECTATOR. ; authority of idoaa when other men estate: I have arrived at a moat unhappy ntatr, I do not understand even the lanjp)aj?c I hear npoken all around. I am pernuaded that, like (he Irish soldier, 1, only, am marching in time, all the others being out of step. Something has happened in South Carolina in the last 20 years. Our people have constantly increased their obligations until today this big-heart ed little State is still struggling to support a lot of institutions which it eannot afford, which it doesn’t need and which perform a service so small that the taxpayers should not have to bear the expense. One I have in mind is the John De la Howe school. This year it asks for ninety thousand dollars, in addition industrial schools, teformatories, etc. Now, then, can these institutions care for everybody? Obviously we need the asylum and the penitentiary. The asylum fills a place for those peculiar ly afflicted without fault or stigma. It probably has a great many more inmates, however, than the State should support and treat. The peni tentiary, of course, is to protect us against criminals. But can we un dertake to do all the thousand and one other things that the warm-heart ed people tfave persuaded the State to undertake? By the way do you know what in stitutions the State supports and the cost of each to the State? Well, here’s the list, as the treasurer is paying ' have no ideas. Nothing daunts him. Three years ago { wrote that agricul tural crops should be insured and ar gued for it. It sounded like an opium dream. Well, some one has suggested the idea to Mr. Roosevelt. Does he pooh pooh it? Oh, No! His attitude is “Well, let’s see about it.’’ Just so he has been ready for new ideas in a day when the old ideas had failed. to ten thousand dollars it will de- them today: rive from the sale of timber. Why South Carolina ever accepted a White Elephant like that I cannot imagine except that our people are sometiimes soft in their heads as well as in their hearts. And there are others—all thinking they are redeeming mankind from social calamity. South Carolina may liken itself to the average family of 20 years ago. People bought just anything and everything that could be had on eredit and when the crash came great was the fall thereof. The State couldn’t turn loose. Individuals had to accept new conditions, hut our (ducky little State carries on intre pidly and will yield to the happy spenders until the last taxpayer is huried so deep he will suffocate before relief can come nigh his dwelling. Kvery kindly impulse or emotion of amr people seems to have led to the establishment of some kind of insti tution or servoe Many of these in stitutions which are supported by our taies sene just a small number of <Hir people. 1 take occasion to raise the quest .on seriously whether the State should Woe pofeli. funds for in- •tiUrtiom or service which cannot minister to the State at large. Would it not he better to roaicentrate our pub Iw expenditures for services which by their nature affect most of the people?
