THE PENSION LAW

Without knowing just how many
old soldiers there are in the state,
and without knowing how many OF
these are dependent on the state for
succor in the declining years of their
lives, it is impossible to say just how
much money should be appropriated
for this purpose. Nobody objects to a
decent appropriation for those SOL
diers who are needy, but we must
remember that the men from the
South fought from patriotic motives
and not for money. Hundreds and
thousands of them have crossed the
river and the only reward they re-
ceived in life was the gratitude of
their fellowmen. The pepole in the
South looked on their soldiers with
more veneration than the people OF
the North looked on theirs. They held
a higher place in the affections OF
the epole of their home states than
did the Northern soldiers. And this
was largely because they did not i'm
mediately after the war begin to de-
mand and receive pensions for ,nt
services rendered on the field of bat
lie and in the camps.
We owe debt to those who have
gone before as we'll as debt to those
who remain behind. AS we would not
deprive the latter of the things tc
make life easy in their declining
years, so we should not heap upon the

HIGH TAXES

The high taxpayers have been hav-
ing a fine time Of it in Columbia. The
Senate finally passed the appropria-
ton bill Wednesday carrying appro-
priations to the amount of nearly
seven millions of dollars. We can re-
member the time when the state gov
ernmcnt was run on less than one
million, and then we were told the
whole business was "permeated with
incipient rottenness."
Of course it takes more money to
run the government now than it did
thirty years ago, though the state is
no larger and the people are more
law-abiding. The huge appropriations
for the institutions of learning, pen
sions for Confederate soldiers and
appropriations for other worthy pur
poses, make it necessary that more
money be raised. Then, too, we must
recall that real estate was assessed
for taxation two years ago before the
present initiation of values came
along, and before the high cost of
living had taken possession of the
country. The result is that the cost of
the government in dollars and cents
has greatly increased while we are
unable to increase assessments of
lands and buildings in the state until
there can be another valuation.
But this will hardly excuse the
legislature for making an increase in
the levy from eight and one-half mills
to fourteen mills for ordinary ap-
propriations. The members of the
General Assembly who are to run
again will have hard time explain
ing to the people why it takes five
and one-half mills more to run the
government the present year than =
took last year. The thought i r:en in
the legislature sec his; aHd it is to
the credit of Speaker Thomas P.
Cothran that he threatens to resign
before he will sign the present ap-
preparation bill, as it is to the credit
c. Covc-nor CcoYer that he announ-
cc5 il advance that he will veto the
bill in its present shape.
We called attention to the fact in
Our last issue, that with fourteen
mills for state taxes, two mills for
the permanent roads, three mill con-
stitutional school tax, six or seven
mills for county purposes, and the
special school taxes in the several
districts, the people would soon
have enough of high taxes. If we are
to add to this in A5teville County al
debt of four hundred thousand dollars
the interest on which, as well as the
principal, must be paid by additional
taxation, it is evident that those who
like to pay high taxes are in for /
pleasant time.

given at the Breton Woods Gun
Club, where Frank A, Seibert of New

offered handsome prizes to the win

SENTENCED TO SAVE.

Washington, ID. G November l.
Michael Noonan OF Buffalo, n !.
Y, has the habit now and the mon
ey and he is going to keep both.
But year ago be had not either.
A year ago Noonan was arraigned
in a Buffalo police court. Judge
Piper decided that what Mike need
ed most was a course in thrift and
saving SO he was sentencedto turn
over SIS week for a year to Arch
@. Scoby, probation officer of the
court, to be invested in Govern
ment Savings Stamps.
Noonan faithfully obeyed the
mandate of the court. In fact, so
he says, he "got stuck on it," Some
weeks he handed over more than
the repaired amount, his top figure
for one week being $4S.
On the day his probation was up
Scoby was in court to turn over a
thousand dollars, the results of the
year of saving, but Noonan did
not show up. Scoby got him on
the telephone at the plant of the
National Carbon Co. at Niagara
Falls.
"Ihave got 81 ,009 for you, Mike"
he said. "You can have it in the
Savings Stamps or you can have
the money. Come over and get
it."
"Pm too busy answered Noonan
over the wire. "Let the Stamps
wait. Why would | be coming
over for them today? I'd have to
lay off and Id lose money"
Noonan has the habit.
