1218 College Street NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA O. F. ARlMFIELD Editor and Publisher Published Every Friday in the Year Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937, at the postoffice at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. I OPEN FORUM i j VOTE NO' QUICK No good reason has been advanc ed for placing the burden of the proposed bond issue on the users of electricity and water. On the contrary tl ere are many objections to this procedure. Newberry has talked of its cheap and abundant current an^ we would do well to hold to this item as a slogan. Furthermore, this is a property improvement and real estate should share the burden. It would be very unwise to mix the cost of such improvements with the sale of elec tricity and its rates. A half doz en of the largest users of electric current and water would be most greatly affected and they will re ceive no benefit from the improve ments. This boils down to taxing an in dustry or one class for the benefit of another class. It’s taxing one man’s horse to feed another man’s cow. And its the same as Hon. Ben Tillman’s famous cow cartoon in the Cngressional Record where the South worked hard to feed her and the North got all the milk. Some would tax water and electric users to improve other people’s real es tate by the extension of water and sewerage lines. And that is not good business in anybody’s lan guage. Stoney Hill School Will Open Friday The Stoney Hill school will begin the present session today (Friday). The following teachers have been namd: Miss Rosa Dreher, Miss Myrtice Lee Counts, Charles Wise, Mrs. Meredith Harmon (Dorothy Ross), Mrs. Rebecca K. Lominack and R. H. Amick. Furthermore, who knows but that this real estate will advance very much in selling price and all rents will be raised because of the new condition. And who gets this advantage? No. The just and fair way is to make this a property tax and re quire each facing property owner to pay one fourth the cost along his frontage, and, as this is a civic improvement, the town with a mills levy, should pay one half the cost. This would also let the Council know whose property is where and how large “one lot” is. Should we ask for the increase in rates we would be placing a heavy tax on small industry such as have moved here in recent years. These small plants will buy current from the town. We certain ly do not want to discourage others locating here for the next twenty years by increasing rates for that period of time. To set such a pre- cadence now would be unwise. It has been said that many people who wish to vote NO in this bond election are hesitant to do so because they are required to sign the ballot and they feel that they may be thought obstructive to the progress of the town. Such a feel ing in unjustified. Every one in the town of Newberry should vote NO on this particular set up, except those who have real estate and buildings to improve. To vote NO to the proposed plan should not be counted as opposing the issue, but only opposing the tax on one class of ciiztens for the benefit of an other class.

K - GENUINE REGISTERED f eepsake SOLITAIRE DUET LOTUS Set $69.95 Engagement Ring 50.00 W.E.Turner JEWELER Federal Government Contributes Funds For Social Security Effective October 1 the Federal Government will contribute $2 for each dollar provided by the State as aid to the needy up to $15 per month for the aged and the blind, and up to $9 per month for de pendent children, according to in formation obtained from Chairman Joe Connelly of the Newberry County Board of Public Welfare. Mr. Connelly pointed out that the amended Social Security Act signed by President Truman on August 10 provides two-for-one federal matching up to the ceiling mentoned, tl<e present dollar-for- dollar basis to be continued as to amounts above $15 and $9. For instance, where an aged person now receives the monthly maximum allowed under the State law, $20, the State pays $10 and the Federal Government $10. Un der the new formula the Govern ment will provide two-thirds of the first $15, or $10, plus one-half of the amount over $15, or a total of $12.50. The State will pay the balance of $7.50, instead of $10 as under the present plan. The same is true as to aid to the blind. Where a dependant child now re ceives $12, the State and Federal Govemmnts pay $6 each. On the new basis the Federal Govern ment will pay two-thirds of the first $9, or $6, plus one-half of the amount over $9 or $1.50, a total of $7.50. The State will pay the bal ance, $4.50, instead of its present rate of $6. The chairman said that press reports from Washington were in accurate in stating that the new law provides $5 additonal for the aged and bind and $3 additional for dependent children, which would not have to be matched from state funds. The law requires that all federal contributions be for aged and blind and $9 for chil dren, and dollar-for-doliar above those figures.
