The Importance of the motor truck
as an interstate freight carrier looms
larger on the traffic horizon. Owing
to freight congestion in the east this
year its development in this direction
has been more rapid than ever before.
Thousands of tons of freight have
been conveyed from New York ana
other important eastern ports and
points in their own or neighbOriug
states.
So great is this business expected to
extend in the future that the AutOmO-

building of a special highway for
trucks between New York and Phila-
delphia. In an article on this sub

will and more. And our reasons for
thinking so are these: Smith was
elected because he received the sup
port almost solidly Of the farmers of
the Piedmont. He received this vote
in Abbeville county and in every
other county of this section. But
the most casual inquiry will reveal
the fact that Manning cannot COM
mand the support of ten per cent.
of the rural vote in this section, even
as against Mr.. Blease, whose elec-
ton we are told would be a calamity.
Governor Manning is out of joint
with the times, and the people in the
rural sections will not give him their
support.
If we are not correct in this con-
clusion, we invite an investigation
among these voters as to their stand
in the event that Cooper is out of
the race. We have made the inquiry
in every section of Abbeville coun-
ty, and the reports indicate to us
that Biease would beat Manning in
Abbeville county nearly two to one.
He beat Jones in this county less
than hundred votes, but this ma
jority would be only fraction of
his majority in a race between him
and Manning. We ask no man to
take our figures. We invite an inves-
tigation.
And what is true in Abbeyille
county is true in the other counties
of the Piedmont, perhaps in greater
degree in some, and in lesser degree
in others. And this does not take
into account the widespread dissatis-
faction among those who otherwise
would be expected to support the
present Governor in a second race
between him and Blease. We as
sumo that these men would in the
end support Manning.
We are putting out no scare-crows.
We give you the result of our inves-
tigation. If yours confirms it, you
should vote for the best interests Of
South Carolina. "a word to the
wise is sufficient"
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1916-08-09
THE TWO TERM ARGUMENT.

There is about as much force in
the two term argument for re-electing
Governor Manning as there is for a
continuance of lynch law. The two
term argument has its foundation in
an established custom of forty years,
we are told. Lynching for certain
offenses has been a custom equally
as long.
If it has been a custom to give a
governor a second term, the custom
was established at the hands of the
people, and the people who establish
ed the custom have right to abol-
ish it. The constitution has fixed two
years as the length of time q person
elected governor shall serve. The
representatives of the people evi-
denDy thought that term Of two
years was long enough. Of course
they conceded the right Of the man
holding office to ask for reelection,
and trey reserved the right to re-
elect him if they saw fit, and the
further right to elect someone else
if they thought he should be elected.
We cannot understand the argu-
ment, therefore, that Mr.. Cooper
has right to rum, but he should not
run. The people have said that
governor Manning's term as governor
expires next January, and that they
will elect another governor in Nov
ember, but we are advised that no
one except Governor Manning should
be elected, although the people have
a right to elect whom they choose.
OF course Mr.. Cooper has a right to
run, but he has no right to get any
''otes, and the people have a right:to
elect their own governor, but they
have no right to vote for anyone ex-
cept Governor Manning. This is
about the way the argument seems to
lun, as far as we can understand it.
We think, however, that the peo-
pic will explain matters August 29th.

A TAX COMMISSION.

Mr.. Cooper expressed the ideas
advocated by this paper in his reply
to Governor Manning when he stated
that the present Tax Commission
would work fifty years in an endea:
vor to equalize taxes in South Caro-
lima between individuals and &C.
complish nothing.
There is but one way to thus
equalize taxes. Let commission
determine the real value of the pro-
perty in each and every county of
the state, and apportion the taxes to
be raised by the state among the
counties, and let the assessments be
in the hands of local boards.
The present tax commission could
make this estimate in four months,
and make the apportionment, and
the salaries could stop for four or
five years, when there should be a
new apportionment. The value of
the property of the several counties
may be easily determined by few
days reference in each of the coun-
ties under the direction of one of
!: the members of the present board
and the work of the board be accom-
plished.
We are now contributing to the
Tax Commission about fifteen thous-
and dollars per year. 1t is evident
that if the commission undertakes to
equalize assessments between indi-
viduals an army of additional Office
holders must be provided, which will
greatly increase the expenses of the
commission, and at the same time
the work done by these examiners, or
officers, will fall short of anything
like accuracy. The property in each
county may be equalized by county
board of equalization with little ex-
pense to the several counties, and by
people who know the real value of
the property in the counties.
Hut as indicated the principal ad-
vantage in the scheme advocated by
Mr.. Cooper is that each county will
carry its own burden, and there will
be no incentive on the part of the
boards in the several, counties to
under-value the property therein in
order to escape more than a proper
proportion of the burden in paying
the state appropriations, a practice
which is now so industrously follow
ed that none Of the property in the
state, except the poorer lands, and
some corporate property, is assessed
at anything like half its value
The adoption of this plan will
bring the matter of taxation home to
the people, and for that reason its
adoption is greatly to be desired.

EARLY STATE AID ROADS.

It is often said that the use Of
state money for the construction of
roads is of quite recent origin. The
New Jersey state aid law of 1891 is
some times referred to as the first
instance of such use Of state funds
in this country. AS matter of fact,
state money was spent for such pur-
poses more than seventy-five years
ago. Kentucky paid out over ST.
100000 for road improvements be.
tween 1920 and 1910, under the di'
rection of state highway engineer
who drew salary Of $4,000 a year
a very large sum for those days. The
roads built then were "a to 80 feet
