What the state Tax Commission
Would do to Land Values.

The state tax commission has in
mind an increase in the assessed
Valuation of the acreage in South
Carolina, and to that end il has
worked out a scheme that applies to
All III" counties in the state. On Just
what basis the commission has been
working cannot be stated now for
Lack o. information; but il is de
tcrmincd that all lands must be re
turned higher in 1919 than they

gate increase Will cut quite Il figure

not let people carry home their own

Approximately 100 per cent increase

Christmas month of 1917. More than
l5O per cent OF outgoing Christmas
pieces have ben cancelled this week

thirty-three and a third per cent was
expected because of the influx of new
residents during the past year.
In order to handle this mail expe-

been installed.
Packages mailed early at this and
other mailing points are carrying Ia
bells reading: Santa Claus put me on
guard to say. NO fair peeking until

Many of them show a militant Santa
carrying a machine gun to enforce his

the letter department are prepared to
give Christmas cards mailed early
next week special attention. The post
Office authorities want and are urging
that the Washington public drop their
cards in the letter boxes next week,

RAILROAD JOBS
FOR SOLDIERS
Objection to Overtime by
Unions May Thus Be
Overcome.

Drastic orders from the Railroad
administration to abolish overtime in
railroad shops throughout the coun-
try. which have aroused some pro-
test on the part sof the workers. are
intended to make easier the reabsorp-
ton of returning soldiers in Industry,
and will be enforced
The administration points, out that
overtime has always been frowned on
by union labor and has not been re-
garded as a part of wages. but is put
on a wage basis of time and a half
to provide a penalty against the en-
ployer, and keep him from holding
men longer hours than the established
working day. -. -s
During the emergency of the war.
when labor was scarce, it was
necessary to hold men for consider
able overtime in the railroad shops.
This was especially true after the
government took over the lines, for
under private ownership the equip
ment had received insufficient repair
during the preceding three years.
New equipment had not been pur-
chased. and the old had been run
so long as II would stay on wheels.
The first order of the Federal Ad-
w u get rlnt tQulp-
ment up to 100 per cent efficiency. To
do this all available shop men were
worked overtime.
No estimate of recent overtime is
available. but 10000 men work in
them and with overtime removed il
is believed there will be places open
for at least 100000 returning soldiers,
and possibly double the number Pres
ent employees are expected to fall
in line with the administrator
plans as soon as they understand the
purpose.
Use OF the needed number of men
on straight time will also be cheaper
than a smaller number of men at
time and a half for overtime. which
may ultimately be reflected in modi-
fed fares and freight rates to the
public.
