THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1921
The mass meeting of Williamsbur
citizens held at the Court House her
Saturday was, to say the least of i
one of the most farcical affairs c
its kind that cana be recalled by a
intelligent citizenship. The meetin
was held at the instigation of th
newly elected delegation for the pui
pose of getting a line on the need
of the county and a comprehensiv
view of the wishes of the peoplethe
taxpayers?relative to such mal
ters as can only be brought about b
legislative enactment at Columbii
Similar meetings were recently hel
in many counties of the state and i
is well that our delegation shoul
have a citizens meetSig in order tha
the several members should go to Col
umbia fortified with the best idea
and most urgent needs of the tax paj
ers, regardless of the difficulties tha
are more than apt to confront then
* *v it j
even hose who go win a weu-aenr
ed plan, to carry out the wishes c
their constitituents and ther^silvc.'
More than likely they will find cond;
tions different from what was es
pected and new conditiors cor
stantly arising. Then, a general ac
monition from the people to do thi
or that, without a thought as to th
detail necessary to do the thing dc
sired, is utter folly. For instance, t
tell the legislators to reduce taxe;
means little unless after the mr.1
ter is fully discussed in the genen
assembly it is found that taxes ca
be reduced. The chances are it wi
be found impossible. Hysteria abov
high taxes is unnecessary. Whateve
it takes to run the governmental mi
chinery and the schools of the staf
must be put up by the people, an
that is all there is to it.
On the other hand, new project
can safely be deferred, and if the leg
islature should find it possible to abo!
ish some departments, boards an
commissions, wmcn may De iouna t
little actual value to the people, b
which some money may be saved, a
well and good, but one thing shoul
be kept constantly in mind: Let not!
ing be done that will reduce the ei
ficiency of the schools. Any legis
lator who does not carry this in hi
mind throughout the deliberations ove
tax reduction will fail of his duty. 1
taxes are to be reduced at the expens
of the schools, let there be no tr.x rt
duction!
By deferring the payment of taxe
until September would seriously ir
jure our schools or force the count
to borrow money at a heavy interes
rate. Yet the delegation was authoi
ized to work to this end.
No factors operating in Williams
burg County during the past ten year
have been more valuable to its agri
cultural interests and progress tha
the work accomplished through th
unremitting enegeries of our farm an
home demonstation agents, each a fat
tor in the countie's industrial proges
well worth many times the measle
amounts paid them as salary and trav
eling expense. It would be ruinou
to discontinue this work. Yet the sug
gestion was blaringly made and th
delegation instructed to that end.
Then again our road system wa
attacked. One citizen seemed to thin
it should be discontinued because th
present plans for a state highwa
did not include his premises in il
course, would sacrifice state r.n
federal aid for road improvement t
save the expense of a competent roa
engineer. Wonderful retrer.chmcr
this, as it would nullify and put at a
end for time to come the best and mo:
progressive legislative work ever er
acted to the inclusion of William:
burg County.
The rural police system was attacl
ed. In fact, it looked to us like ever]

for awhile but by a great many prol

surdity of the discussions and lea1
,v
W ing the meeting the affairs of the i
^ county are still safe, we believe. 1
To the credit of the meeting one '
wise and perhaps timely suggestion
was offered. This was by way of au
thorizing the delegation to use its ut- 1
