Incidentally I have received a letter from Mr. Bartley J. iddock. Treasurer of Charleston County, and he tells me t Coops pay nothing to Charleston County. It amazes me that when our State needs money, money, " more and more money, that anyone should even think for a moment in favor of Coop Corporations which pay virtually nothing but have plans which may cut into our tax revenue by undertaking to operate side by side with private Com- pahies which pay heavily in taxes. If our State can afford that then some citizen should chal- Jepge^such a law in our South Carolina Supreme Court as a denial of the equal protection of the law—a legal principle deeply imbedded in our jurisprudence and cherished by our people. You have heard me tell of the letters from Treasurers of Abbeville, Aiken, Bamberg, Barnwell, Beaufort, Calhoun, Clarendon, Charleston, Hampton, Richland, Lexington, Or angeburg, and others, that the Coops either pay nothing, absolutely nothing, to support schools, colleges, the Uni versity, the State Hospital and the Agencies for law and order, except in two or three cases of payments of less than a $100 and one of $354. That our State does not now, forthwith, put all Coops on the tax books for the same local taxes and same State taxes, and under the same State regulation and control of private Companies I can’t understand. The Coops admit that they now have property worth sixty three million dollars and five and a half million dol lars in bonds as a reserve. My lawyer brethren of the Legislature will r*. all the ancient maxims of Equity Jurisprudence, cherished since the days of our forefathers: “He who seeks Equity must 1. e clean hands”; and “He who seeks Equity must do Equity.” The Coops are not trying to protect the farmers: 97 % of the farmers now have service and they pay higher rates than those of us on lines of private Companies. I cited figures of most Coops last week, but we can repeat this comparison: Private Companfes, 2.15c per kwh; R.E.A., 2.49c per kwh. If We even contemplate such encroachments as are re quested by the Coops then let our Legislature say to all pe titions: “We can grant nothing new or additional, for we fire planning to lose revenue and must retrench. - * _' * ^ '*ic .#**•»*. * ' 1 i# Now, now, where are we? The Supreme Court of the IJnited States proceeds to throw the Constitution Overboard step by step—and the Congress of the United States has neither time nor the courage to reproach or impeach the members of the court. Then the Congress might define the & powers of the court and re-affirm the validity of the Con stitution^ By; wMt constitutional authority the Court now spec if i- caHy4ncludes intra-State traffic I should like to know. |§jfe The Congress and our people are failing to attack this problem at the source by clearly defining the scope of the jurisdiction of the Court. It is strictly Un-American for us to accept as binding law H Hie social whims of the court. No lawyer worthy of the who knows anything of our Constitutional history can defend Hie present Court’s assumption of power regardless of the plain mandates of the Constitution. We may not have anyone with the courage (and position) President Andrew Jackson who expressed disapproval of decision of the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John ,11; “Well John Marshall has made the decision; let> him enforce it.’, - • Our nearest approach must be through the Congress, as Constitution clearly provides. Che Supreme Court chose unusually forceful language e dear What it thought everyone understood long ; Racial segregation in both interstate and intrastate el is unconstitutional. *We have settled beyond question that no state may re- racial segregation of interstate or intrastate transpor- facilities’, the court declared, ‘The question is no er open: it is foreclosed as a litigable issue’, f Mississippi, where some 200 ‘freedom riders’ have been ted, several Negroes have asked a special three-judge al court to declare the state’s segregation laws uncon- tional. The special court ruled that state courts must first, and the Negroes appealed to the Supreme Court.

The High Court’s impatience seemed directed at both the Negroes, for going to the special three-judge court, and at the special court for deferring to state court jurisdiction. In an unsigned opinion, the Supreme Court declared that neither a prior state court ruling nor a special three-judge Federal court is necessary to overturn the Mississippi laws. When prior Supreme Court decisions ‘make frivolous any claim that a state statute on its face is not unconstitutional,’ the court asserted, a regular one-judge Federal court is em powered to carry out the mandate. It sent the ‘freedom rid er’ case to the Federal District Court for the Southern Dist rict of Mississippi ‘for expeditious disposition in light of this opinion’.” fouyht against Red tanks with their bare hands rather be Redlhaadead? f *1 i i -aairoigh rmdaceijpy f^^ap^t&jWe cam feaifbel owl afl tfie sacrrfices^ us, •‘by offer Jhtfters and our forefathers. .Through failure to exercise qur Con- tkapSwe can *nd will A-ift front owp great hen Let us recognize Communism for what it really is.

The United Nations has been $'>«<? tfcia summer and will be taught wonderful forum for the propaganda of our enemies. Under the charter, the Communists have a right to be there, of course. But what did the UN do about the Hungarian blood bath? What did it do about the Berlin wall? What has it done about the enslavement of millions of people behind the Iron curtain? What did it do about the unauthorized nuclear testing by the Russians? What was the result of the UN support of the Communist regime in Katanga? The real issue is not whether we prefer to be Red tkitn dead. It is whether we believe in the type of government set up for us by the founders of this country, or whether we believe some other form of government is better. We should never lose sight of the real issue in the name-calling and in quibbling over definitions. rr \TV What say you to this: “If you want your father to take care of you, that’s pa ternalism. If you want your mother to take care of you, that’s maternalism. If you want your Uncle Sam to take care of you, that’s Socialism. If you want your comrades to take care of you, that’s Communism. But if you want to .t&ke care of yourself, that’s Americanism.’ M “1 m t#. New York has been the Union’s most populous state since 1820 despite its rank as 30th when it comes to size. It main tains the No. 1 spot in so many areas, it w r ould be simpler to cite those it doesn’t hold. One of the Original Thirteen States, it was first explored by an Italian navigator in April 1524 in the Bay area. Henry Hudson reached New York harbor in 1609 when he sailed up river to Fort Orange, now the site of Albany, the state’s capital. A year later Dutch merchants sent a trading vessel to this land which'they named New Netherland and trading posts were established about 1613. More settlers arrived in 1625 and the next year Peter Minuit, first edirector gen-: eral of the colony, purchased what he later called New Amsterdam but now is Manhattan Island. To view its tow ering skyline today, which assuredly exemplifies the state’s motto, ‘Excelsior—Ever Upward’, makes one wonder how that fabulous parcel of real estate could have been purch ased from the Indians for the equivalent of $24 in trinkets. New York City, the largest in the United States, contains more than half of the state’s inhabitants. Over 1,600,000 peo ple reach their work daily by subway alone. Since World War II 10 office structures, plus plans now for a 50-story skyscaper near Grand Central Station, have been built to give the needed office space. Its world-famous, 102-story Empire State building is a must of the hundreds of tourists who see the vast view from its tower daily. *. This state, the spectacular nerve centor of our nation, is the greatest port in the world in volume and value of for eign and domestic commerce. It leads in manufacturing also (a position held for 131 years), foreign trade, commercial and financial transactions, book and magazine publishing, theatrical production, etc. The Erie Canal, which was opened in 1825, created a great highway of commerce between New York City and Buffalo. Troy, Rome, Utica, Binghampton, and Elmira employ more than 26 % of the factory wage earners with their clothing and related products industries. A beautiful diversified, scenic state, it has mountains, lakes, forests, beaches, natural wonders, historical sites, etc., for all-year recreation. These and some of the most famous art and cultural centers in the world are visited by millions.” Its recently completed State Thruway—560 miles—is the world’s longest direct highway system. Its Adirondack North way links Albany with Canada.’ The proposition before us is to admit the Coops to com pete in urban Communities and in industries with the tax- paying Companies. Just use a little simple arithmetic: that means that non-taxpayers will get some business which now pays taxes. That means that you deliberately reduce the revenue to the State, the schools and the municipalities. Is that good business or prudent administration? Stop and Think!

Some colleges consider English compo sition and advanced grammar as remedial courses.” ^ He said that as it becomes ex pected of South Carolina high schools to offer this type of ma terial in order to qualify students for college, the ETV Center will provide such instruction, “further aiding individual schools which might have difficulty in obtaining enough qualified teachers in these advanced subjects.” > Thfe Newberry College 1 have addeii two will be of- Which wa* rel first one 4 March 26, !‘*h* against Washington versity.
