McEACHIN WANTS ‘FEARLESS’
ACTION
Postive Finance Steps are Held Need
—Cites Failare to Finance
Welfare
Columbia, Jan. 21.—Poative and
tangible action to obtain additional
revenue for operations of the state
government was urged today by Sen
ator P. H. McEachin of Florence just
before the senate finance committee
prepared to join the house ways and
means committee in appropriations
hearings.
McEachin charged that the finance
committee and the senate itself had
never faced the revenue question
“fearlessly” since the inauguration of
the public welfare orosrram in 193T.
It was “our failure to nnance public
welfare when it started”, he said, that

was chiefly responisble for the |3,-
500,000 deficit confronting the state
by the end of the fiscal year.
At the time the public welfare pro
gram was launched the state had a
$1,500,000 surplus, McEachin remind
ed the senate.
A Practical Measure
He urged the finance committee to
provide a “practical revenue bill” and
predicted that such a measure would
receive prompt approval.
Senator Warren of Hampton re
minded McEachin that they sponsored
a bill to put the state into the liquor
business as a means of obtaining new
revenue. “You warned the senate that
it would face a deficit this year, didn’t
you?” Warren asked him.
“That’s right,” McEachin said.
Senator Jefferies of Colleton, the
new finance chairman, invited at net
senators to make suggestions pertain,
ing to the work of the committee. He
reported that the ways and means
committee had agreed to have the fin
ance committee sit in on the hearings
with a view toward speeding work on
the appropriation bill.
Short Session Possible
“If we are willing to do a little
work,” Jefferies said, “we can have a
short session.” He announced the ap
pointment of a sub-committee com
posed of himself, Senators Brown of
Barnwell, Abrams of Newberry, Par-
ler of Dorchester and Rowland of Oco
nee to consider revenue needs.
This sub-commitee will “keep in
mind necessary expenditures in draft
ing revenue measures,” he said.
The house adopted and sent to the
senate a concurrent resolution by
Representative Chadwick of Saluda
requesting congress to increase the
amount of federal contributions for
public welfare. This would “relieve
to a greater extent the over-burdened
states,” the resolution said.
The senate concurred in a house
resolution paying tribute to the late
Dr. E. W. Sikes, former president of
Clemson college.
WHAT DO YOU GET FOR
YOUR DIME
r LfauA. fyiiesuHL} /V&Ufhh&i dealer
Everyone is interestf-d in getting
the most for his money. You don’t
have to be stingy to want to get full
value for the money you spend, but
have you ever stopped to think of the
difference in what you can get in the
dime you spend for bread? A loaf
of whole wheat bread costs no more
than does a loaf of white bread but
it gives so much more in food values.
The average diet is very apt to be
low or even quite deficient in certain
of the essential minerals and vita
mins, and it is in these factors that
whole wheat is superior to white
flour. White flour has no vitamin A
or B and almost no vitamin G. Whole
wheat flour has very little vitamin A
but is quite rich in vitamin B and has
a generous amount of vitamin G.
Whole wheat flour has almost three
times the amount of calcium and phos.
phorus that white flour has and it has
almost five times the amount of iron.
Calcium and phosporus are necessary
for building bones and teeth, and iron
is necessary for proper development
of blood. These things make the food
so much more valuable that they
should be considered When buying
bread for your family.
The graph Which is given shows
a comparison of the food value of 1
cup of white flour as compared with
one cup ow whole wheat flour.
THE DRAG ON OUR
ENTHUSIASM FOR ENGLAND
Calhoun Times.
We despise Hitler and all his works.
There is a deep and abiding hope
that England will whip him to a fraz
zle.
However, the pendulum has never
swung and eighth of an inch in favor
of sending our boys again to fight a
foreign war. We are getting ready
for it as we did 20 odd years ago.
Rotten as was that calamity, this
will be far worse. Under the circum
stances sympathy is unavoidable. To
send our soldiers to die again in
foreign shambles will be the crime
of the ages.
We are showering floods of eulo
gies upon Winston Churchill. He is
being hard. We wish him well.
Short of blood at least. It is imposs
ible to forget Churchill’s past rec
ord towards America. After beating
us out of many millions, his opinion
of us after the World War was to
rotten that it smelled to heaven. If
j you wish incontestable proof get
out your Congressional Records so
late and recent as Dec. 12, 1940.
Space forbids a full recapitulation.
Here arc a few extracts from Ms pen
at that time—

mined your own business we would
have made peace with the Central
Powers in 1917."

the war and minded her own busi-

ness none of these isms would today
be swooping the Continent of Europe
and breaking down parliamentary
government.”
3. “The stake of the United States
in the European scene was incompar
ably small.”
4. “It is not open to the cool by
stander to set himself up as an im
partial judge of events which never
would have occured had he out
stretched a helping hand in time.”
The above is sufficient to give you
the animus of Winston Churchill now
at the head of the English forces, and
one of the leaders in the World War.
Mark you, we got absolutely
nothing out of that war but a debt
of billions of dollars besides the many
millions filched from us by England
which still remains unpaid.
Nobody is more anxious to see
England win than we are, but short
of shedding blood and bankrupting our
country. Of course this is a waste
of ink, where the American boys are
already being marshaled to fight an
other foreign war. There is old Hit
ler, afraid to cross a litle channel 22
miles wide in order to fight England,
and yet this country is in terror over
Hitler crossing a three thousand' mile
ocean to eat us up for breakfast.

SEES DEFICIT $2,800,000 AT END
OF CURRENT YEAR
State Auditor J. M. Smith, told a
joint meeting of the bouse ways and
means and senate finance committees
Wednesday that South Carolina’s def
icit at the end of the current fiscal
year would be $2,809,832.93 on the
basis of new estimates.
The deficit for the fiscal year wMdh
ends June 30 had been previously
placed at $3,600,000.
Smith said a recapitulation of ex
penditures and revenue increases in
dicated 1 that the state would end the
year $690,168 better off than had been
anticipated.
Chairman Walter C. Query of the
state tax commission, told the joint
committee Tuesday that due to bus
iness increases and higher income in
the state, a revenue increase for this
fiscal year of $1,205,000 could be ex-
peetedi.
Smith’s estimate showed that the
general fund deficit would increase
by $177,634 for the fiscal year, making
a total deficit in the fund of $1,983,-
039, of wMch $1,805,405 was carried
over from the last fiscal year.
The school fund showed' a deficit
of $526,793 and the deficiency appro
priation for the current year was
estimated at $300,000.
Committee Named.
A committe of three senators and
three representatives was named to
consider the question of supplemental
appropriations. Members of the com
mittee were Senators George Warren,
Hampton; J. D. Parler, Dorchester,
and C. P. Means, Charleston; and Re
presentatives F. M. Roddey of Fair-
field, M. H. Minims, Edgefield and
W. G. Grant, Chester.
At the opening of the joint hear
ing Senator Marvin E. Abrams of
Newberry suggested that a “half-mil
lion dollars can be saved” if a com
mittee were appointed to confer with
department heads on appropriations
which they asked for the next fiscal
year.
Senator Abrams said he was con
fident that many of the departmental
heads would agree to a smaller ap-
budget commission. He said the com
mittee could confer with heads of
institutions and departments and
“find out where cuts can be made
without impairing the efficiency of
the institutions or departments.”
A committee of six. three senators
and three representatives, was ap
pointed. its membership included
Senators Abrams, J. M. Thomas, A1
lendale, and Edgar A. Brown, and
Representatives Bruce Littiejohn,
Isaac D. Peek, Charleston, and J
Kess Derrick, Newberry.
The joint committee on finance will
resume its public hearings today at
10 o’clock. Chairman Jefferies said
it might be necessary next week to
begin holding sessions of the com
mittee on Monday nights and on Fri
days in order to expedite its work.
