Newspapers Imposed On.

The Progress is in receipt this
week of a rather lengthy article from
the State Warehouse Commissioner
with the request that we publish the
same, free of course, as it is for the
benefit of the poor, down-trodden
farmer. We have also been flooded
for the past few months with litera-
ture from various sources in regard
to the Selective Draft andIthe Liber-
ty Bonds. We suppose that it is our
patriotic duty to publish all these
things without money and. without
price, or be brandes as traitor to
our country We confess that when
we open one of these rather bulky
envelopes expecting to find big ad-
vertisement and it turns out to be
nothing more than request for some
free advertising, a sick tired feeling
comes over us and we find ourselves
asking the. question, How long, oh,
how long, will it be before neWspa-
per people are treated like other peo-
ple." We are required to pay State,
county and municipal taxes, also
State license to do business. A city
license and a Federal income tax, and
Congress is now planning to place
larger tax on the business. We are
told that unless We invest in Lib
erty Loan Bond We are nothing more
than a German sympathizer. We find
that the money we have worked so
hard in past yearseto make has lost
at least one-half it's purchasing pow
er, and yet we are expected to go and
publish lot of stuff. free, and then
after making the subscription price
of the paper less than the cost of the
material, we find it necessary to pay
an agent to collect it. We again ask,
"is it right?' ?''-Easley Progress.
