INQUIRE ABOUT RAILWAY.
Chamber of Commerce Receives Jct.
tcrs from Capitalists Concerning
Proposed Sumter Olanta Line.

| 1t is apparent that there is renewed
interest in new railway building
throughout the United States, and
that the capitalists of this country have
confidence in the stability of business
conditions, judging from the number
of inquiries coming into the Sumter
Chamber of Commerce regarding the
proposed Sumter-ShiOlh-T -TurbeviIle-
Olanta railway.
Secretary ReardOn has received a
number of letters from capitalists and
representatives of capitalists seeking
Information about this proposed rail-
way line. Some say positively that it
looks good to them and that they can
furnish or get the necessary money to
build and operate the road. Others
want detailed information, maps, etc.
In order to furnish intelligent infor-
nation such as is called for, however,
the Chamber of Commerce should
have number of copies of the map
showing the territory through which
this road will go. the survey lines,
levels, profile maps, estimates of
cost, etc., together with a compiled in
formation regarding the prospective
tonnage, etc., all Of which cost mon
ey to furnish, and which the COM
mercial organization unfortunately
has not nor can it secure so far. The
Sumter Chamber Of Commerce has ex-
pended nearly $1,000 SO far getting
surveys. maps, guarantees of rights of
wap, depot sites. and other privileges.
With a few hundred dollars to con-
tinue the work Of intelligent promo
zion 1T Is certain that this much de-
sired new railway line can be secured.
However the burden Of putting up
the money for everything that Sumter
tries to get usually falls upon a very
small minority of the business and
professional men Of Sumter, while the
big majority stand off, do nothing.
and put up no cash, although all reap
the benefits.
Whether Sumter will ever get this
desired railroad depends largely on the
support given the commercial organ
ization. If the business men of Sum-
ter and the people Of Shiloh township.
Turbeville, Olanta, and intermediate
territory want this line they will have
to loosen up for few hundred dol
lars and do a little work.

A FORWARD STEP.

The State Tax Commission began
Its work OF equalizing taxation by
equalizing the returns of the banks so
that all are placed on the same foot
Ing and all banks taxed on the same
basis. We were assured that this was
only n beginning and that other class
cs Of property would be dealt with in
the same manner. This Is the pur-
pose = which the Tax Commission
was created. and unless 1t goes ahead
with this work nd speedily devises
ways and means to equalize all taxes
In all counties, so that each and ev-
cry property owner shall be forced to
pay his fair and just share of the cost
Of government. the commission will
prove to be worse than a failure. The
banks should be taxed no more on
the actual value of their property than
the merchant. manufacturer or farm
or. III an acre Of land has an actual
market value II should be returned
for taxation at exactly the same valu-
alton as a share OF bank stock that
has a market value OF one hundred
dollars. No class OF property should
pay higher rate OF taxation than an
other class and no class of property
should be assessed at a higher rate. 1t
was to remedy the inequalities OF tax
alton. the wide differences In assess
ments and the universal practice
OF tax lodging that the Tax Commis-
sion law was enacted. and having made
n start with the banks II is to be
hoped that the same treatment will be
accorded all other property owners
A land owrc- har no more ~'rht 70
return his land at twenty per cent OF
its market value than a bank. The
banks that wero making returns at "a
twenty per cent valuation have bcen
called TO account and their assess
ments raised to fifty per cent To be
consistent the Tax Commission should
with as little delay as possible hand
out the same dose TO all other property
owners. Thus far the banks have not
been mistreated. but IL they are to be
the only property owners to have
their returns scrutinized and their as
sessments equalized a great injustice
will be done.

AN AUDITORIUM NEEDED.
A Suggestion That Has Been Anticipate
cd by School Board.
Editor Daily Item.

Editor Daily Item.
In connection with the assurances OF
n public library building for Sumter
the writer would like TO ask IL 1t will
not be possible with the funds avail
able To so design this building that
Sumter will have at least one decent
and assured public assembly hall
wherein all mass meetings can be
held?
Could not this library he so arrang-
ed that II could also be made the pub
lie forum which could be utilized by
Sumter's citizens as a public means of
putting into motion many ideas for
the general good?
Whenever we want TO hold mass
meeting OF any kind there is only one
place absolutely assured To the citi-
zens. the county court room. that Is a
place OF sufficient size to- hold several
hundred people comfortably. The court
room Is not altogether a very desirable
place always for ladies to assemble in.
IL forsooth court happens to be in ses-
sion, II Is. 20 begin with always doubt
ful whether we can secure the room,
and 1 most respectfully submit that a
public place which has been filled all
day with tobacco chewing. but pa
triotic citizens. and the accompanying
smells from decayed tobacco juices
and sputum Is not n proper place for
gentlemen to- ask their friends to.
With no desire To reflect on the
sanitary conditions of our county
court room. which Is doubtless kept
az clean as possible. nevertheless
respectfully submit that Sumter need,
one public place OF assembly which we
are assured can always he utilized fol
meetings OF our citizens.
Possibly enough room could he pro
vidcd from the library To he erected.
Yours cordially,
Progress"
