Taxes cannot be reduced by abolish
ing the tax commission. The total ap
propriation for the commission is but
a few thousands of dollars, while it
iplaced on the tax books of the state
last year about $50,000,000 worth of
property. Statistics will also show
that the Welfare Board also sustains
itself. Opponents of these two de
partments of the government will
have to seek some other cause thani
expense to justify their opposition.

'NV[SNi LECISLATION
This is an inauspicious time, to say
the least, to launch a campaign for a
reduction of working hours in the cot
ton mills of the state. In the face of
widespread stagnatioll inl busin ess the
textile indistry is at least -partially
taking care of its employees, runnmg
full or part time when it could more
profitably close down for a revival In
demaild for goods. It occurs to us that.
in the face of such a serious conlldition
it is not to the best interest of em
ployees to add to the troubles already
existing in the industry.
As a matter of fact, it is ((ll)tful
whether the em iployees actulally care
for the shorter hours proposed for
them by self-appointed sponsors in the
legislature. A great deal of thei r
work is (lone by the piece alld when
their time is reduced production is re
duced ald automatically they receive
less pay.
PEiiployees of the textile in(lustry I
this state have never appeared to be
happier, more (j-roSperous, More con
tented and made 'llore advllancelleit
than during the last several years
iwhile tile politicians have let them
alone. We believe that alco-operatIve
spirit exists between thom and their
emnpiloyers that it will not, be to their
advantage to dispell. Working condi
tions in the mills are yearly becoming
better and it may be safe to assume
that there will be much improvement
yet if the mills have prosperity them
solves.
COMMON SENS
"The gravity of tile sitluaion con
fronting the Sout'h as regards the
I)lan IItilng of an1other otloi crop and
the apprehension on our ipart that
there are thousands of 1).eol)le in our
stato who do not comprehend just
vghat we are lp againstimipels us to
ine thlkafS paftjb tie~ farmors,'biusi
xss and ilfesai9nal emnjp .,of .Southl

f I that It is our duty .to place the
f iuar'ely before thlem, as start
11 g as they are, in order thlat every
o .ganizedeighney i th(fe sitate niay join
with u1s inl our efforts to see to it that
no farmer in Solith Carolinaiplants
over' one-third of his cultivatedl land in
cetton this year."
The American Cot~ton Association is
a little tard(y ill placing "thle fBacts
srliarely" 'before tho 'peop)l. tLet us
hlope that tile ass9ociation is Onlly re
ce'ntly in possossion ot these facts and
thlat last year ny:hen it was telling tihe
teopjle that tile worldl was noarly
starving for our cottonl and we
wvere t.h reatened with "commiercial
slaver'y" if we had to sell for 35 or 40
cenis, thlat It was 4entstaken,
'fe~ propaganda of tile American
C!o on As.'ppigtlion makes good read
inf and its idea of organlzatlon andl
en e-ing is a good one If it can be
ca iled otut. iut, tho farmers this
ye r-, if wejlay. bei allowed to say :It,
needi not dagend upon any organiza
tio#, gover'nmlent aid 01r anythling else
besid~es individulal bommon sense to
help them this year. The time is too
iato for an organization, even If it
cotild ho perfected. The ground is
ready in o b roo M goon as theO rain
!tops. Tver'yhody knows that there
is more cotton on 'hland of all kinds
than tho worldi is goIng to consuime
this year. Moreover, thore is no de
111nd for' it no0w and world conditIons
do not waranot an ear'ly dlemandi. Tho
only t hing to be dlone thlen is to plant
as much as can reasonably be sold and
tha-t won't he mul~ch. Somobody, it may
'be as!:pre~d. Is going to gamble on the
