Appropriations OutStFip Revenue and
Taxes Higher Each Year.

Editor COUNTY RECORD
From the standpoint Of a lay
man it would seem that the
time has fully come for the vot-
ers of South Carolina to call /
halt and reflect just a little be-
fore casting their ballots again
for members Of the house and
the senate. Well, why do say
so? Just let me have your at
tention for a little while and
I'll try to give good and suffic-
ent reasons fol this assertion.
What has been done about bien.

lature? Was not that issue set.
tied by the voters at the ballot
box? That alone would have
been a saving Of fifty thousand
dollars a year to the tax payers.
Do we mead this saving? Let
the voter answer that for him.
self. Secondly, did not the
people of the State speak out
almost to a man and demand
the repeal Of lien law? Did they
get it? No. Well, then, what
did they get? Be quiet and lis
ten and I'll tell some of the
things they got. We got two
new judicial circuits at cost
of about twelve thousand dol
lars and we got all the salaries
of the State officials or a good
part of them, raised. We got
to pay those stolen State bonds
again instead of letting those
who were under bond pay them.
But that's only about seventeen
thousand dollars. The people
can pay that
Well, what more did We get!
We got all the appropriations
to the State colleges raised and
so many other appropriations
that time and space forbid their
mention.
But one thing | do want to
call the attention of the voters
to, and here it is: The taxeable
value of the property Of South
Carolina in round numbers is
about S27O, 100000 and a tax levy
of 5 1-2 mills would realize
about 81, ,417,50 on this. Add
from indirect and other sourses
$l75,OoO and you have the total
of the States taxes, which is
S1,435,OOO. Well, that's a nice
little sum-we get from taxa
ton, but where does it go? l
would like to give you the items,
but THE RECORD is not large
enough to furnish the space.
But will say in round numbers
the last session of the legisla-
ture appropriated 1000, 900,
which is $l65,0Oo in excess of
the total taxes, if all are collect
ed. How does that come at
you?
