THE NEWS AND HERALD. WINNSBORO, S. 0. TVSDAV, November so. : : 1819 A. NWA RN DMA B, Rnoit. '"G* S. RBrNOLnDS ASSOotATr EDToR. Local TAxation. The Abbeville pres and Banner whiebhas recently Pot considerable Attention to public education, is nluch alarmed by the (liscovery on the log islative calendar, as unfilnished busi hese, ofa ihil permitting the levy of a local ta for school purposes fin eIr taut incorporated clies and towns in thi State. The Pres and Banner calls on the Legislature to "beware," and puts the members on their guard against the bill, which, it says, is "nothing more nor .less than a bill to revive the odious and Iniquitous local taxation power," 11and it expresses great surpriso that the bill "was re ported oil Thvorably and stands now for second reading." We propose to argue briefly that. local taxationi Is not odions and Iuiquitonq,. ta I hie bIill quest fin Is a meritorious and much needed piece of legislation, and that its favorable report should not be a matter of sur prise, but rather of high commenda tion. The following States, as shown by the report of tho United States Conim missioner of ucation for 1876, have inl operationi a system of local or dis trict taxation, which they do not conl Wsder odious or inuicutous: Alabanfil Arkansas, California, Colorado, Con necticut, Delayware, Florida, Georgia, Illinlols, indiana, Iowa, Kanisas, Ken tucky, Lottisimaa, Mlaine, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevadui, New Jlampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rthode Island, Tennessee, Vermont., Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The States that have no local tax are Alississippi, South Carolina and North Carolina. One or two more Southern States nay have abolished the local tax, but we can find 11o evidence of this. The Committee on Education, who had the tenierity to recommend the passage of this obnoxious bill, have atgn1ost a unanimous United States behind their back, while even in South Carolina local taxit lio prevails inl Charleston and Winnsboro. Sure ly local taxation catnot be very odious and iniquiti us. The four leading States in the Union, New York, l'enn sylvania, Ohio and 3lassachilsetts de rive their school fund entirely, or Il most entirely, from town or district taxation. But the Press and Banner doubt less eians that, the local tax is odious inl South Carolina, owing to her pe culiar condition. It stigmatizes tile old locil tax law as an outrage, as it wvas; and~ cites its rep~eal by the Demio-. cratic Legislature In 1877, as an argu ment against any local tax law niow. Weo have ahvay's hieldl that the Legis lature errced inl repealing inistead of simpily modifying this law, by restrict ing the questioni to property holders. On thlhiolit the P'ress and Banner admits a ditrerence, antd adds: "Say.. demiiocratlc discrliination againstngithigfbitie nutad ua certain class of voters whIch this in volves, we would beg our represenita tives to considler wisely and wvell be fore they vote for the resuirrection of this old enemy1 with a ne0w face, even If that face is white." Tis diffe'rence Is just tihe thinig thiat changes a burden lito a blessing. The objection to the 01(1 lawv was that it permnitted1 irre sponisible nlon-talxpayers to bulrdeni p~roperty againist thie wvill of the own.. ers. The present bill leaves the ques tion to the property owners thtei selves to say whether they prefer to suipplemenit the school fAid by3 taxa tion Or ntot. NO adlditional caplitation tax Is permitted by the constitution, and the non-property hiolder is not pecuniarIly iterested, so that 1h0 is niot injured or opprOese by being debarred fromi a Voice iln this local mnatter. The bill is a true Democratic meiasure, ini reserving to each citizent his rights. Again, this bill does not say that erery town shall be taxed. 'It ex press8ly provides, "Each city, town or lutcorporated1 village in this State D~E51iRtu to receiye tihe benefits of' this act, is hereby declared to be a school district," This "odious" bill simply plermite a local tax in those towns desiring It, and in 110 others. It re quires two things, first, that the towyn shall desire to operate unider tihe act, anid sceondly, that 0111y property hold ers shall vote upon the question. Tils certainly does not look like ramming a n mseous bolus dlown an unlwillini Ylethn's throat, le asks for the 1)111 and lie takes it sugar coated. It Abbevillo does not desire a local tax no one will make her levy it. But that she does not Is no reason for p~re venting Winnaboro, Chester, Bien nettsville or any other townt from adoptig what it regards the best and simplest plan of raising money3. lit estimatIng the cost of instruction dur contemporary asks, "Are we will. la osbi oann or ten mill what'says this odious bill? "To levy on all real and personal property tre. tuned In said district, a tax not ex. uleeding OExmx ADONE IIAL ILLrrrS on Sthe dollar." No chance for a ten mill ter here. That spectro vanishes. Qr onatemaporary should have scanned the bIUll m 'closely on this i a (t4 jud tit.th. bill then has restdIes We give all o~pia IM'they It4 Inlportant, 1 srp tiM to opertt ~ 4to p dl queso thirdly, the levy shall iot exceed a dollar aId a half on every thousand of proplerty returned. The Commit tee on Education hedged the bill In pretty closelyv. It cannot do harmn even If, as our contemporary evidently thinks, it ca) do no good. Thie 1'ress mnd ilanner is troubled about another matter. It says, "Locial taxation, pl1u* State school fund, mean absolutely free education," and then calls attention to the constitution al provision for the compulsory at tenance of ehildreni betwcen six an1d sixteen, so oon as facilities have been provided for fiee instruction. It adds, "Are our people ready to sub mi to this, and send all the boys and girls, white and black, in the country to school for at least six months in the year?" In our part of the world the trouble is not. umuch to (rag chilIren to school as to keep them from crowd ing in and overwheiniig the teachers. We venture to say a good many peo ple are ready to have their chiIilrenl sent to school for six months. Indee(d, they are willing to tax themselves ad ditionally to secure this very thing. But our contemporary need not be alarmed. The levy of a mill and a half in a few towis that (esire it will not make education free In the State, nor will it even iipose upon injured parents tile birlen of being compelled to send all the children bi the country to school for six months in the yema. Local taxation Is not State aid, and we fear the day is far distant when all the children in the Country will be PEMITrED to attend school for six months iIn each year. Anothir point is that small towns are not rich enotigh to raise any ade quate suin by local taxalion. Tlere is some force in this. The bill should be almended to embrace a (listrict at least four miles square. A mill and a half on these dist-ricts would raise a Contsiderable sonl1, aild. with the aid of the State and poll tax, woul( run schools for a number of montsiq. But. if the mill and a hlalf be not enough, let our contemporary's free bill semellie come ill. We believe, how ever, that with a full attenidinee to seeure the State tax, the local tax will s1Ip)ort schools from eight to telt months i a year. Our conl(tem1lporarv asks filally, "Ilave not tho taxpayers of Solub Carolina, inl already Contributilng about $350,000 a year) flor public edu cation done their (uty to the puiblic schools?" As these taxpayers are piarelnts, or ought to 1), We tinilik lot. South Carolina stands almost at tie foot of the list. By our conteipo rary's estimate, about $1,800,00 at year wouhli be required to maintain schools properly. And we presime that $1,000,000 tire expended in public atnd private schools together. Wly not take somne from the expemsive private schools and add to the CIcil public1 schlool.s. We do not ex pect the State to ralise anlyting like $1 ,800 .001), but she shtould give more thtan Ini con~chtsien weO submit that the Press and Ban ner judged of the mc eri ts of' the bill too hasitily. It was careful hy coniceived, anld it caln (10 no possible harm~l while being capable of' nmch goodl. And we would~ give ani en couraging word to our legislta tor's. They need not take too much time in looking blefore they healp. I'Te bill is a well stull'ed and p)added ma1t tr'ess with no sharpl or jaggeid points. It wonu't hurt them badly if' thley alight phlump upon it. It. aff'ords themil a chlanlce for thle easiest juimping they hlave everi e3xperIitene. Certiain tow~'n in tile State desire the benefits of tile bill1. Let thlem htave it. From formner tarticles onl thle subject we should judge that thte P'ress and Banner is not aware that Winnlsboro onltjoys local taixationi unmder aln act of which the bill it, so bitterly attacks is almost an exact copy.
