To our mind, if increased tax ation should serve to bring this about, increased taxation is devoutly to be desired. The proposithn is a business one, pure and simuple. Ali Increase in taxa tion does not necessarily ncan ani in crease in expenditures. Indeed, it may uttean a reduction of expenditures and increased efliiency by collective effort. Tius, we will take as an example the litblic school system. The expendi turc for public schools in Laurens county from all sources and for all purposes is about $894,010.00. This stun, raised by supposedly equitable taxa tion on the wealth rather than the persons of the county, is so distribut ed among the poor and the rich that all are allowed the privi lege of an education. The rich are made to educate the poor for the tilti tuate good of all. Now, If we had never turned to taxation to provide public school facilities and had left the ed ucation of the children to the individ Hal parents, it is (1uite possible that Laurens county woul( he paying out as large a sul of ioney in piropor tion to its weualth for private schools. where the chil(ren of the rich and well-to-do only would be taught. We would not venture to estimate the twin he 'r of children who would he deprived of educational advantages, but. can inma'in e the unhealthy condition of the state i halfl of the citizens were brluought up without these advantages. The poor of the state would be tools in the hands of the rich and the poor white tman on the farm or in the city would be thrown in still fiercer ('olupetitioin with tle negro.
