Mr.. Callison is an honest AMI an
| able man, and we honor him highly
for his long, unwavering, persistent
and effective fight against all unuec-
essary offices and al increase oil tax
alton. But III opposing what Is COM
monty called higher education" :"
Mr.. Callison, in our opinion, is wrong.
The aid is not asked for the purpose
of building mp an in ,titution for the
r.ch, but for every youth in the STATE;
to meet the wants OF the four hun
dred youths scattered through other
States seeking the higher education
which, alas South Carolina cannot
afford to give them. We are : joiced
that the Assembly of South Carolina
refused to weigh for one moment tie
m oney consideration involved IN this
matter. The truth is, there is notl. :
ing in the statement that the tax will
be increased in order to make this
appropriation. The tax last year
was 5 mile, and now, with smaller
appropriation, an increased taxable
property, how cGn there be an in
creased burden upon. the people
The State owes it to the youth to meet
this dem md, especially as it is sim
ply asked to supplement an already
large investment in the appliances
| for education in order to make then
efficient to meet the wants which ar.
forced upon ue.
