THE. TAX PROBLEM The problem that concern; South Carolinians most is th? problem of taxes. South Carolin ians of both racgs who pay::.tti< taxes on their homes are crymg for relief, and relief they musl have ur the statc will be wors< fVlQrt A1'*? VT _ -t v/v?i tvwiiwiiuc inuuiem i>o. i Students of the subject hav? offered many suggestions to oui law makers, asking that they fine other means of raising needed re venue than continue to add taj levies to our homes, on our stores and "skillets." (Recent investigation reveals the fact that 100,OCX , are on the delinquent "tax rolls with overdue back taxes which a mount,,to $12,000,000. In the fact of this condition yearly tax as . ses'sing boards add increases t( the tax Valup of the residences which Sputh CaVolinia'ns own Thousands of delinquent tax pay ers shed briny tears on their pil lows at night because of fear qi the sheriff's hammer on the nexl sales day when their homes mus1 be sold for taxes. ? What is the solution? Shal we increase the taxes on homes and personal property to t h < breaking point, let the govern merit own the property and tVu economic and social advancement of the* people _ suffer greatci checks and lliti state continue tr ? march -at the talk Grid of the oth er states of the Union? The solution is with the lawmakers ol South Carolina. We need a Moses in a crisis like this. ' \ ~~ RETIREMENT FOR TEACHERS South Carolina should have a il'rLa JTI W- * L. retirement act passed for teachers. Not white teachers or colored . teachers, but Teachers. . There is not another group of workers contributing njore to the welfare of-the state than the poor ly paid and unthanktd teachers. Most especially is this true with the teachers in Negro schools, out side the urban centers. Some of these teachers receive as little as $250 for the anrtual salary. Can you think of a more pitiable person than an old decepit school teacher who spent 40 years in the school room, and because of the demands and requirements ill her profession, she was unable to save anything for old/, age. That's about the status of the average teacher when she reaches old age. - 6 . Teachers ^should be retired after they become ineffective in class room work. Seventy years of age should be the retirement period if not 65. But retirement without bread and meat brings about a condition th^t is deplorable. A small investment on the part of teachers in private and public schools would provide some kind of retirement fund that would ultimately prove to he a great bless injrt<v the teachers?the Teal builders of civilization through their i'fTnrf'8 -inrl wavI.- in making" citizens out of boys . and girls. Negro leaders in the teaching profession can help bring about the plans for a retirement fund. To --join the oilier furi'<L?s in Bringing pressure to bear on the lawmakers will help. If these is no action taken in this matter by the legislature, then let a committee from the State Association work out a plan. Dr. Myron Broekman, Supt. of C hester st-hooU nml, past president of the' State Teachers' Asso"ciacion (white) makes a good sue<resHnn that fnvnichne thought on TKiF-question. From him we quote: "The citizens of South Carolina should know that 28 states now i have adequate teacher retirement laws. Most of these provide for compulsory retirement , at age of 50 with a minimum wage of $50 per month. Some states pay five I times that amount. ! The bill presented to the legis laturc last year contained splen-, i-did provisions-that would have I mejj a long felt need. The bill pro vidod that each teacher should pay as her part of the retirement 5 fund 5 -per cent, of the $720 paid 1 her by the state. This was to be 1 inntrhrjl by fdtr? a I ^ atij ' placeT to the credit of the teacher. Mon ey p;uu in by ho teacher could be withdrawn-at any time. If a i teacher left the profession the 5 money could be withdrawn with interest. The bill -provided that the teach , or retirement plan is an optional > one to all the teachers employed . at present but compulsory for > mv teachers. Retirement is volun: tary at age of GO but compulsory - at ape, of 70. As the bill did not pass, the actuary did not work out the amount that each teacher would receive upon reirement. . Parents should be as interested ; in the bill as teachers because itsj passage would relieve teachers ofi , worries which prevent most pft fectivc teaching. Some folks poked ^ fun at the nieasip-p, railing if?a-" pension, but the reason why the ^legislature did riot pass this meas4 ure was that a statement was r made that teachers did not want , it. This is untrlie." Let us hopt. that very soon a t plan will be worked out for the care and happiness of school teachers in their old age. They j need a teachers' retirement fund.

STICK TO YOUR KNITTING | Everywhere I turned, especial-1 ly just before the holidays, I saw| women with kneedles and yarn knitting away on something. On street cars, in autos and buses? just knitting. Maybe the sisters , wtfre trying to get somehmg completed for Christmas gifts or some thing. If these knitt?*??kepC on kntt7" ting as they were when I saw them knitting, they knitted what they wanted to knit because they stuck to their knitting which is the / only fine way to knit.
