Opposes Bond Issue.
BEditor The Advertiser:
The Greenville News, one of the fair
est dailies in the State had an editorial
headed with an old Roman adage
"Audi Alteram Postom" which being
translated means "lear the other
.side". Are you willing to hear the
other side? Now Mir. Editor, I want
to say a few words about the bond is
sue that is soon to be voted on by the
people of this county. I am opposed
to them, and will .ry to give some
reasons for my opposition. First, ou1r
taxes are high enough now to be in
some instances burdensome. They
have been increasing for the last sev
eral years. In the last 25 years taxa
tion has increased nearly 100 per cent
and property valuation only 50 or 60
per cent. Let's see what some of
our townshillps are paying. Sullivan
pays about 32 in some jelool dilstricts;
Laturens 293-1; I ost of the others
I I 3-1 to 27 mills. ]lilt. you say they
are getlg something for it. Look at
tle Schools and the school houses. I
admit all that and would be the last
luau to say anything against e(ln
lion of onur youth, if I thought we were
getIing vealue received for our money.
Too much m1oney sent in useless of
ilves and too high salaries. All or the
salaties of ou1r oillecia are too high.
1)id any man now in oflice illike ove'
$50.00 .or $.00 per monlii bcfore get
tlug the o c? Now the y are getting
fioI $125.00 to $210.00 per montl. Mlost
cf our11 (hools ar now talight by "dear
little girls and iloys" as .tlde Prince
once said. just otl of high school or
college 11(and don't know n4o m1ore ab)til
Inallaginhg childreti than, thanl, I don't
nov what, do you?
Another objection is that it. is not
enlollgh iloniey to do any good, only
on 1Che automobile hiighways. Mlost, of
the drivers of auloohliiles are in far
:r of bonds. O courso tiey are. Just
like lhcy now 11Want all the road when
tey are out joy- riding. They have
becoit1 so re ckless in their driving and
detiant of 01her people's rights and
'livilveges ald w nt everyone to give
h1 lhe r'ight of way. An\ot her ra
