There Must Be Publicity.

1t is high time for publicity in the
matter of licenses in Columbia. Two
or three years ago q resolution passed
council giving the consent of that
body to the publication of the license
record-those who paid and the
amounts paid-but, although the Of
fer was made to publish the list in
Doth the morning and afternoon pa
pers for the legal price of one inser-
ton in one paper, the charge was
considered too high" and there has
been no publicity. When it comes to
getting publicity, the municipality is
medicant; it is only when gather
ing taxes and licenses that is is ar
rOgant.
In reference to taxes and licenses,
The State has not "kicked." 1t is al
ways willing to do its share, and then
good deal more on the side. 1t has
not protested against injustices. But
now we are going to demand publici-
ty, SO that every one will have a bet
ter understanding Of the manner in
which licenses are imposed and paid.
The State was for years required to
pay license for the morning paper
and another license for the semi
weekly paper, a license for a lob
Office and another license for a bind
cry. which is part of the job office.
But we make no protest.
This year a change has made as to
job offices. and the license tax is
levied on the volume Of business. In
order that this tax may be paid. a
sworn statement of the cash re-
ceipts for job work for the year
has been made by The State
Company fifty-seven thousand
dollars. The license for the conduct
of the morning newspaper has been
raised from 500 to $3.50. Separate
licenses are paid for two branches,
besides the job department
Those amounts refer to Licenses.
The taxes upon The State building
and contents are, of course, quite sep
arate, and amounted for the last year
to $1,5796S.
In this connection, we wish to make
point which is not appreciated by
COlumbians: The State Company
pays out in this city-chiefly in wages
and salaries-twenty thousand dol
lars year more than it's entire gross
income from Columbia for advertis-
ing, subscriptions and job work 1t is
one of the few newspaper enterprises
in the country that, in the direct
course of it's own business, brings
new money into the town Of publca-
ton.
These figures are mentioned, in the
first place to show that those making
honest returns for licenses and taxes,
are entitled to have others do like
wise and the only way of knowing
what others are doing. is through
publicity. And they are mentioned,
In the second place, to show that The
State is directly holding up it's end
of the line in Columbia.

LICENSES PLENTY
BUT GAME SCARCE

County Clerk Allen received
record-breaking hunting license pat
ronage for the first 3S days of the
year to date. Permits to hunt in Ma
rion county at the rate of s1.00 per,
amounted to an even so this morn
ing, while during the same time here
tofore the largest number for the
same period was only Ga. Since the
duck shooting season has closed, the
licenses have been going out slowly,
owing to this particular sport being
about the last on the program COW
cred by law in this county. Taking
the weather conditions into consider
alton during the present duck shoot.
ing open season, which was the most
favorable of any, the game in the vi
cinity OF Salem has been very scarce
this year. Heretofore when the cod
snap came on. ducks were plentiful
and easily located, but, from some
unaccountable reason, they have been
very Few so far. The CHINA pheasant
shooting throughout the entire state
has been poor also this season. II Is
predicted by the sportsmen from tae
various districts about the vallev
that the highland game will he
scarcer still next season, which comes
along in the summer months, due to
the extreme cold weather prevailing
here this winter. The highland birds,
not being accllmated to continuous
cold weather, suffered considerably,
and, according to reports coming In
daily since the recent cold snap, hun
dreds of birds, such as quail, young
pheasants and young grouse, havi
been found dead after the snow.
