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.

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.
