WE, THE PEOPLE --SPEAK QUESTION: What do you think of the legislature’s proposal to add one cent to the gasoline tax ? W. H. STERLING, Bookkeeper: “First I believe in economizing, but if we have to have additional taxes, that seems the best place to put them.” J. W.

Lyman; DpWN MEMORY LANE 20 YEARS AGO A communication comes to us from Columbia stating that a gigantic “Feed Yourself” and “Live at Home” movement has been launched. It sounds more like calling up the dead past .to us. It is something that has been talked and agitated by his news paper for the last 30 years and more. We heve remarked many times that the only plan by which money could be made fanning in this section of the world was by raising on the farm what you needed to support the farm, and that if you did not you could not make any money farming, it made no difference what the price of cot ton may be. But here comes the same slogan out of Columbia as something new. Well, we are glad that they are beginning to see the truth of the doctrine that The Herald and News has been preaching for so many years. It is refreshing and en couraging to us to have opr doctrine taken up and preached even at this late day, and we trust it may result in good.
