Eatered at the postoffice at Laurens, S. C., as second class mail matter. LAURENS, S. C., JAN. 25, 1922 The Advertiser )opes that the small appropriation provided by the delega tion will not plrevelt this county from securing the services of a farm. demon strator. Our belief in the matter Is that it would be far better to wipe out the entire rural police system of the county than to lose the services of an eicient farm dlemonstration depart ment at this time. One determined (eputy sheriff, providedl he had the backing of Juries, judges and public 'which is now lacking, could keep the liquor making and litiuor dealing down, but no amount of law can take the qiace of the information and leader s-hi') which the (lemonstration depart ment stands for. 0 * * INVESTIGATION NElJDED Conflicting relports of the death of WN. Frank Walker, which occurred in a Columbia hospital early Saturday morning as a result of a personal dif flculty in 'Ulackville the day before, seems to us to warrant a thorough in vestigationi from the office of the chief executive in ColumbiA. From reports in tle daily press, as well as from re Ports brought to Lau rens directly, it a11))ears that two men at. least took 1Fart in the diiculty and yet only one was arreste(d and he many hours after the lifliculty took place. The hosts of friends of -the (lecease(d man in this county, m1tanly of whom contribute(d at one time to a reward for his conspicu ouis lravery in the performance of duty, are( at a loss to understand the coniflicting reports whielh have come to them and they feel that a thorough investigation of the case from Colum bia might be valuable to the cause of justice. TAXINGI PROGRESS Possibly no tax measure has met with as mch dfavr as our Federal Income Tax law. Arguments, many anl true have time and again be. n ad vanced to show that taxing the in coie of a man earning $5,000 or $10, 000 a year was injurious to the well being of the state. When legislation oi anything else retards a man's earn e'st eu(leavor to create, to earn, it re tr(1S progress. Now comes nur legislature with a mieas, ure which will, if passed, be an income tax law similar to the federal law. We cannot refrain from oppos ing It and look for its defeat or modi ficatlon. AIR TRAVEL OFFEIIS CO)MFO(RTS OF HIOME Paris, Jan. .t5.-Ample proof that travel by air has nowv realcd the same luxurious standards as travel b~y land wvas given in the seventh annual aero salon held here. No longer need prospective air tray elilers hesitate for lack of convenience, comufort and, exi erts say, safety also. Danger from lire and engine trouble has been redumed~ to a mnimum by the latest invetntions in aviation. Promo ters of continental air transportation gutaratee smoother travel through the air at a sp~eedl of 125 miles an hour thant is 'possible to experience on even the slowest of' trains. Tihe airplane wvill play a most im portant part in the Red Cross wvork of future wars. Air operating rooms with full eiuipment andl air ambu lances for less urgent eases are a p)ractical reality. -Several utnusual ma chines wvere showvn to prove this, one a complete aero hospital, accommro dating t'wo patientsq on stretchers, a doctor and an assistant with complete operating necessities, includine a ta 'blo.

At a meeting of the Laurens Busi ness League bold in the Peoples Loan & Exchange Bank .building Monday af ternoon protest was voiced against the proposed income and excess profilts tax for South Carolina. The protest was made following the receipt of a tele grain from C. W. Coker, .president of the South Carolina taxpayers associa tion explaining the provisions of the, proposed act. The bill as it is before the finance committee of the Senate provides for' an income tax of 25 per cent and in some cases of 100 per cent of the fed eral income tax. If passed and enact ed into law it would seriously cripple 'South Carolina industries and injury to the industries in the state means hardships on the people, according to claims made by the South Carolina taxpayers association. The Business League heartily in dorsed the South Carolina Taxpayers Association in its opposition to the bill and in its efforts to show at the heiVr Ing of the Senate committee the disas trotis effect such a law would have. The telegram from Mr. Coker was I as follows: The proposed State income tax 'an'd excess prollts bill noaw before 'Ain ance committee of the Senate lrovid- I es an income tax from 25 percent to I in some instances 100 per cent of the federal income tax. This -bill, if en acted into law will seribusly clipple t South Carolina industries and proba- E bly repel new capital under the pres ent -boll weevil conditions in this state. e Our people will have to rely more up- r oil indistri.'.1 work than they have in V the past: if industries, are discour age, our people will suffer. Will you not have your body pass a resolution s protesting a:aainst the ))ending bill and endorsing the bill advocated by the taxpayers association which is not to - exceed 10 per cent of the amount of . fedleral income tax. The state taxliay ers association is workiig for a levy not to exceed 10 per cent of the fed- 1 eral income tax and exco.- profits tax. 1 If the state taxpayers association is to carry out their program we must have j your support. Please send resolution N to .r. John I. Rice, Secretary, Pal- c metto Building, Columbia, S. C., so F that it will reach him.by next Tues day the 2 ith as rxe have a hearing 1e fore the finance committee of the Sell vte on that day. C. W. COKER, Piresident S. C.
