ninety-nine out of a hundred cases
are one or the other of three varie-

NOT NEEDED IN YORK

Eyes, have received such a letter
but it was not necessary for the comp
troller general to send such circular
here" said Auditor Broadus NJ. Love
when asked if he had received a COM
munication from Rut L. OSBORNE
comptroller general Of South Caroiina
in which the comptroller general
charges thai some of the auditors are
playing politics in that they do not put
on the penalty on all taxpayers who do
not pay taxes within the time pre-
scribed by law. Everybody upon
whom a penalty should be placed when
they do not make their returns WITHIN
the time prescribed by law nave IL
placed upon them in York county, SAID
the auditor.
In his circular letter addressed 10
Auditor Love and Treasurer Neil the
comptroller said:
Enclosed herewith you will find

q YOUR duties under same are indeed

your duties under same are indeed
plain. ...y J...
Il regret to say that during my term
of office, it has been my observation
that in quite a number of counties of
the state the penalty law has not been
complied with in a strict sense, and in
some cases. one in particular, l have
found the statutes regulating same en-
tirely ignored.
Our present penalty law is very
poor and it is my desire TO have the
coming general assembly amend it.
However, the law is still on the statu-
te books and it is not within the au-
thority> of the county officials or the
comptroller general to do other than
comply with any and all statutes
whether they be good or bad.
Il find it has been the custom and
practice in some counties for the Of
ficials to play politics" with this
phase of their work; that is, the penal
ty on unpaid taxes would be charged
to some taxpayers and not charged to
others. 1t has also been customary to
wait until about the tenth Of the
month to add the penalty instead of
the first, as required by law. Such
conditions are deplorable; they can
not and will not be allowed to continue
Penalties must be added on all un-
paid taxes strictly according to law. 1t
is necessary that we hew to the line
and cease any special privileges and
irregularities that may have been al
lowed in the past"

James Henry Rice, Jr, Of Charles
ton, is writing for the News and
Courier a series of articles in which he
is seeking to promote the development
of the fishing industry along the coast.
We readily comprehend the correct
ness Of Mr.. Rice's assertion that hsh
Is the most widely esteemed and ex-
tensively used article Of human diet in
the whole list and also we can very
we'll understand that the consumption
of fish might easily be developed to ten
times its present proportions in South
Carolina. AS to what ut will take to
develop the fish industry, we have very
little information. We know 1t is q
matter of especially trained labor and
lots Of it, good fishing grounds, intel
ligent business management and ade-
ouate facilities for distribution. All
these things enter into the problem.
The consumption Of fish the various
communities throughout this section is
light compared with what it. ought 10
be. AS we understand it, most of the
fish consumed here comes from Nor
folk, Savannah and Charleston, with
Charleston hardly in the lead. The
questions of distance, freight charges,
etc., no doubt enter into the matter
and along with it the salesmanship and
the business ability Of the wholesale
fish dealers. Mr.. Rice points ou: that
this state has probably a thousand
miles or more of coast line between
North Carolina and Georgia, and at
many points the fishing conditions are
all that could be desired. That the in
dustry should be developed there is no
question and neither is there any ques-
ton that if the proper means are used
it can be developed to the very con-
siderable advantage Of the people OF
the whole state.
