The Columbia State Of this morning
has a cartoon on the convening Of the
general assembly which cartoon in our
judgment, is easily the best that the
State has ever printed. According to
the cartoon the door Of the state house
has just been thrown open and march
ing in, in the order named are personi-
fed Speeches" "Bills" and "Votes."
Speeches." represented by big scroll
tied with 1913 tag is pushing forward
with a proud stride, and Bills" is fol-
lowing with self-conscious dignity.
"Vetoes" brings up the rear. He seems
to be unconcerned about the other two,
except he carries a broad grin and is
winking his left eye. While we are not
disposed to apply the legend to the
present session, we do consider it sim
gularly appropriate in its application
to the session of last year, we
are inclined to think that unless
Speeches" and Bills" are pretty cir
cumspect in their conduct, "Vetoes'
will likely tone them down again this
wear

PUBLIC WEIGHER MATTER

One of the things that interests a
large number of farmers around York
vile as we'll as many business men In
the town in the session of the general
assembly that convened today, and in
the new board of county commission
ers Is the probable effect of the long
continued effort to secure the estab-
lishment Of a public cotton platform in
Yorkville, with a lawfully constituted
public weigher.
This agitation has been going on
more or less for many years; but did
not begin to develop great deal Of
strength until the subject was taken
up by the York County Farmers Union
about four years ago. UP to that time
York had been exempted from the
operations of the general law, and
there was no starting place to get a
platform and a weigher until after
necessary legislation had been secured.
An effort to get this legislation was
made; but it failed.
Later the Farmers Union organiza-
ton became defunct; but people who
had begun to study the weigher ques-
ton, especially in it's relation to local
conditions, began to be impressed with
the desrability of having local cotton
handled by an official weigher at a
public platform and continued their
efforts until three years ago they sue
ceeded in getting the York delegation
to include York under the operation of
the general law.
Following out the law, a petition
was circulated asking the county board
of commissioners to appoint a public
weigher for the town Of Yorkville. and
the board did so; but about this time
the opposition got busy with the claim
that under the law the commissioners
had to appoint any and everybody who
should present a petition with fifty or
more names, and two Of the commits
sioners having allowed themselves to
be persuaded to that view of the mat
ter, the object sought was defeated by

fell during the past ten days or such a
matter and 1t looked as If the govern
or had started. upon a systematic
wedding out; but now If an unofficial
report from Columbia is true, differ
ent plan has been determined upon.
The report is to the effect that imme-
diately after his Inauguration into Of:
fee for his second term, the governor
will issue another general revocation
order like unto that of two years ago.
After that, of course, those who desire
commissions will have to make appli-
cation over again in the regular man
ner, and commissions no doubt will be
issued as the governor sees proper.

Taxation tho ProbIem.-The general
assembly convenes next Tuesday, and
we believe 1t will be harmonious, un-
less there Is an effort made to force the
asylum bond issue, or to raise the tax
levy. The question Of securing an
equitable assessment Of the taxable
property throughout the state has so
far failed, several propositions were
made but none Of them appealed to
the judgment Of the legislators, and un-
less a fair basis Of assessment can be
made, the burden of taxation will con-
tinue to be burdensome to the weak,
and the strong will continue to escape
paying their just proportion. In our
Judgment the only way fair assess
ment can be reached Is to appoint a
commission composed of good business
men with authority to visit each coun-
ty In the state, study the values and
fix a basis for the county boards of
equalization to assess the property, as
1t Is now; there Is too great a differ
ence in values and usually the small
taxpayer has to pay more than his just
proportion while the large taxpayer
does not.-Manning Times.
