TIE BOARD VIEW.

To otr mind it is Of more con-
sequence to the people to have
Legislation which will give them
an equitable and just assessment
Of property, and an honest dis
tribution Of our taxes, than most
anything else the legislature can
do. It is we'll known, under our
present fiscal system there is
something radically wron g !,
property is not justly assessed,
and there are too many escaping
taxation which only makes the
burden of taxation the heavier
upon those who pay taxes.
The man of moderate means
is assessed for what he has, the
man Of large means is assessed
for what he returns, and an ex-
animation of the books will show
those who are paying a full as
sessment and a full tax are those
who own little and that little, Wis
ible, and we say there should be
some reformation along this line.
We do not want to put a heavy
assessment upon railroads and
banks, and tighten the assess
ment on the farmer and mer-
chant. What we want is an as
sessment of property according
to it earning capacity. and let
taxation bear equally as far as
practicable upon all alike.
We are heartily sick and dis
gusted with the biennial cam
paign shibboleth-the dispen-
sarv. Surely there must be some
other qualification necessary for
a Representative than whether
he is for or against the dispen-
sary. It is actually reflection
upon the intelligence of free
people to permit politicians to
blind them with such campaign
cries.
The people should rise above
such little matters, look upon
them as minor details, and send
men to the general assembly,
not because tn e y are for or
against the dispensary, but be.
cause they are men of intelli.
gence, of honor, and Of patriot
ism, any other kind should have
no place in such a body; and can
only bring discredit upon those
who send them.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1906-07-18
THEY ANSWERED NOT.

It was a disappointment to us
when the campaigners failed to
answer the question profounded
by the Times to wit: Why is it,
with a large increase of funds
derived from the dispensary, and
the increased assessment of prop
erty, so many of our country free
schools were forced to close on
account of a lack Of funds. What
has become of the money!"
Then, s'if the dispensary profits
was to go into the school fund,
why must the people, in order
for the children living outside
of towns, vote upon themselves
an additional tax in order that
the little ones may get the rudi-
ments of an education?" Not one
of the gubernatorial candidates
advocating the continuance Of the
State dispensary would say a
word upon the subject. The
local option candidate, Mr.. Ansel,
did make some allusion to it, but
time prevented him going into the
subject fully. One of the dispen-
sary candidates told US, that our
questions are embarrassing and It
the people all over Ghe State
would demand answers to them,
it might cause a good deal of
side-stepping among the candi-
dates. He assured US however,
if he was elected the matter
would be Strengthened out, and he
admitted that the schools in the
country are not being justly treat
ed. The fault is entirely with
the legislature and headquarters.
