PLACES CHURCH
BACK OF LABOR
Leader Declares for Pub
lie Safeguards and
Restraints, However

NEW YORK, Aug. 30-The church
and the pulpit were called upon to
intervene in strikes and try to com
pose the differences between capital
and labor in a Labor Sunday Mes
sage" issued today by the Rev. Worth
NJ. Tippy, executive secretary of the
Social Service Commission of the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America.
He declared that the church must
stand for the right of labor to or
ganize and take collective action un-
der proper restraints and safeguards
for public welfare and that the
church should not be prevented from
taking this step either by reactionary
employers or by "evils in the labor
movement"
The Rev. Mr.. Tippy pointed out
that the nation had suffered a tTe-
mendous economic loss because of
the strikes last year and that deeper
perils lie in threatened destruction
of the. spirit of cooperation and good
will between capital and labor. 'The
church watches the deepening con-
flict with profound concern" he
continued. at cannot stand aloof
At whatever risk of becoming in
volved in the controversy it must go
into the midst OF the contending
forces, if possible between them. It
must bring to bear every ounce of
influence which it posses to bring
these contending groups together,
and to induce them to work out per-
manent and effective means of CO.
operation"
He pointed out that there was
need to devise a method by which
employers and workers can get to-
gether and keep together, so as to
put heart and power into production
and give Just returns to both groups.
eff no form of labor organization is
permitted and if not only strikes
but labor organization itself is fought
to finish, there appears no way
out of our troubles, but rather a
deepening Of them. We shall have an
autocratie management of industry
on the one side and either a kind of
serfdem on the other or militant
bitter, and class-copscio organiza-
ton of labor growing yearly more
revolutionary. That is just the dan
ger of the present hour.
"The church cannot be hesitant
here. When. as may often happen, the
inclusiveness of its fellowship pre-.
cludes a cooperative judgment or

FURTHER COUNTY
RAISE DEMANDED
BY FULLBRICHT
State Tax Commissioner
to Meet Refusal Here,
However

Despite the fact that the Sumter
county board of tax equalizers, un-
der orders, increased valuations in
this county for taxation purposes
nearly $2,000,00O this year, or from
total of $9,572, ,939 in 1919 to Sill
369,672, the state tax commissioner
H. j. Fullbright has informed Tax
Receiver Jones, in approving the
check of the digest sent to him from
this county, that further increase of
20 per cent will be necessary to bring
Sumter county up to level with
the other counties of the state.
This letter of information has been
refereed to the Sumter county
equalizers at his request for certain
recommendations, and the members
of the board now have it under ad-
visement. and expect to make a reply
this week. 1t is said by members of
the board that they are absolutely
opposed to any further increases in
/ values whatsoever, as respects visible
or tangible property. They admit,
however, that they believe moneys,
notes, mortgages, ETC., are not prop
erly returned or adequately valued in
this county, and probably will so
state in their reply. Mr.. Fullbright
indicated that if moneys were assess
ed here this year on the same valua-
ton as last year, an increase of onlv
15 per cent for the county might be
sufficient to bring the valuations up
to the proper level.
Indications today were that the
county board would stand pat on the
valuations levied, which means prob
able arbitration. The tax commission
er has the power to increase the
county returns as he sees fit, Just as
the county board may increase the
individuals returns, but the county,,
similarly to the individual, has the
right to arbitrate, and this course
is expected to be pursued in this
county. 1t is understood the Terrell
county dispute is being handled by
arbitration.
Some of the details of the valua-
ton reached by the tax equalizers
were given out today by Tax Receiv-
er Jones when he made public the tax
digest, it having just been checked
and approved so far as he is concern
ed, by the state commissioner. Here
are some totals gathered from the
digest.

FLYNT, REFUSES
SUFFRAGE PLEA
Declines TO Call Sub
Committee to Alter
Primary Rules

ATLANTA, August 3O.-A. ].
Flynt, chairman of the Democratic
executive committee refused to call
meeting of the subcommittee to
so amend the Georgia primary rules
so as to permit women to register
for the September primary.
In reply to a letter from a dele
cation of Georgia Womans' Suffrage
Association, Chairman Flynt said
that while Congress had a right to
grant women the franchise, it was
up to the several states to provide
laws for their registration which the
legislature would have to do.
Governor Hugh NJ. Dorsey has re-
ferred the matter to the attorney gen.
eral of the state and an opinion is
expected sometime today.

PALMER AGENT
MUST EXPLAIN
IN SUGAR QUIZ
Bottom Drops Out of
Market-Prices on
Down Grade
BY GEORGE B. WATERS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-"The
Department of Justice will do moth
ing to keep the price of sugar up.
1t would be a violation of the Sher-
man -Act and the Lever Law for 1t
to d. SO. Furthermore, II. N. b.
Floyd, who stated in New York that
the government would help the
wholesalers and refiners to prevent a
further tumble in prices, will be call
ed upon the carpet. He was unau-
thorized to make such an assertion"
This statement was made by Rob-
ert 7. Scott, private secretary to
Attorney General Palmer. 1t was IN
regard to a statement of Floyd,
special agent of the departments
New York flying squadron" which
is supposed to be running down prof
iteers. After attending meeting Of
refiners and wholesalers in New
York, Floyd stated that the govern
ment would assist the sugar dealers
in preventing a further drop in price.
Bottom Drops Out
The bottom has fallen out of sug-
ar prices and a further decline seems
certain.
A few days ago sugar was selling
wholesale at "a cents pound, and
one eastern refiner, who has ceased
to operate on account of high prices,
got an unexpected supply from Cuba
and Immediately dropped the price to
20 1-2 cents. Three western refiners
followed suit and now sugar is retail
ing in many cities for Is cents a
pound. Spectators and profiteers
got bumped, as did also many inno-
cent wholesalers who bought at high
refinery prices.
The sudden drop caused a panic
among the big sugar dealers and they
hurriedly called a meeting. Floyd S
statement followed.
"It's this departments business to
lower prices, not help increase them
stated Scott.
The sharp decline in sugar prices
is caused, principally, by large ship
ments of sugar received from Argen-
tina, Czecho-Slovakia and other coun-
tries.
High prices in America caused
sugar to flow here.
Also, up to July 10 the people had
absorbed sugar at the rate of 100.02
pounds per day, as against previous
high record. for 1919 of 80. 43
pounds.
J. G. Weatherly, Department OF
Justice sugar expert, said this indi-
Gated the people had sugar stocks
about 35 pounds per family for the
nation.
People Quit Buying
The people quit buying and now
the supply is much greater than the

9Spublic schools opened the new year
this morning with an overflow at
tendance, 191 being enrolled and
there being accommodations for only
about 175. Until the new school
building is erected, for which bonds

the part of the whole church, the pull
pit must nevertheless be true to its
prophetic office. The case is hope
lesse if employers will not allow col
lective action by their workers. The
church must stand for the right of
organization and collective action,
under proper ethical restraints and
safeguards for public welfare.
"The church cannot allow itself
to be estopped from this course Ell
ther by pressure from reactionary
employers on the one hand or by
manifest evils in the labor move
ment on the other 1t must e strong
enough to attack these ev1Is and to

ployers, especially Christian employ
ers, to work out democratic prin-
ciples in their establishments, with
due time for investigation and ex-
pertinent. The important matter is
not just what plan is followed, but
that the start is made, and that ev-
erything that is done be on the road
ito a definite goal-the development
of democratic factory organization

which is for the benefit of each and

millions as a result of the decline.
Many wholesalers and retailers are
unloading sugar below cost in antic-
ipation of further decline. -
at has been called to the depart
ment's attention" said Scott, "that
some refiners are holding customers
to contracts made at high prices. If it
is found that this is violation of the
Lever Law they will be prosecuted. "
Another thing that broke the price
was the fact that many Gamers and
housewives refused to make preserves
and jams at high prices.

TEMPE NORMAL SCHOOL.

At this time the boy and the girl who have just finished the high school are making plans for the future. They now look to father and mother for timely advice which may have the greatest influence in shaping their career. What are you plan ming for your boy or girl? Have you thought of the opportunities for real service in the teaching profession? Will you permit the Tempe Normal School to offer a few suggestions as to the value of professional training for your son or your daughter. The great crisis through which our country has recently passed has directed attention to the need for broader education of the peo
 pie and the demand is daily in creasing for more teachers and better trained teachers. The na- tion has passed safely through the severe trials of the war only to find itself facing the serious problems of social unrest. Wheth
 CT these problems are to be met and satisfactorily solved and whether the peace and prosper
 ity of the country and the se
 curity of your property and your home are to be preserved, will depend in large measure upon the schools. Viewed in this light the service of the teachers in preparing the youth for intel
 ligent and efficient citizenship is as essential to the preservation of the nation in time of peace as was the service of the soldier to it's defense in time of war.
 In entering this life of real service the teacher is no longer required to make financial sacri- fee as in the past, for the public is awakening to realization of the justice which demands ad- equate compensation for the teacher, and salaries have not only greatly improved but will continue to increase. The young woman graduating from the | teachers course of the Tempe Normal School may now look forward to certain employment for the first year at a salary of $1, 200 to S1, ,5OO where two years ago she might expect $500 or $500. Opportunities are equally attractive to young men who wish to follow this profession. We are placing young men in good positions at salaries of $1, 700 to $1, 800 with prospects of substantial increase the sec ] oud year with reasonable expec-
