kind or another, is needed. Just so
long as we cling to the present way
Of taxing our people, we shall con-
tinue to have all manner of injustice.
! Adjoining city lots, Of equal size
and value, are not infrequently re-
turned for different amounts, and,
therefore, are not taxed alike. The
. same is true of adjoining farms and
of houses.
"Through the tax commission and
iii other ways we have made start,
but we have long way yet to go. If
we are to succeed quickly, it is es-
sential that our schools give the mat
ter careful thought. There is no rea-
son for any one to object to re-
valuation plan, for it's purpose and
it's effect would in no wise be to
cause unjust taxation. Just the op-
posite would be its purpose and its
effect. Men have nearly always
SHE'D off from any proposed change
in tax laws for fear that taxes would
be increased. 1t seems to me we pro-
ceed on the theory, in this State, at
least, that it is best to let bad enough
alone.
"Now we are rapidly approaching,
if, indeed, we have nos actually
reached the point where we can
make but little more progress until
we have taken hold of the difficult
problem of taxation, considered it in
telligently, and acted upon it fear,
lessly. AS our social organization be-,
comes more complex, demanding
greater public expenditures every,
year, the need for arranging a firm
foundation becomes more pronounce
ed. Public opinion is the foundation
of all public undertakings; taxation
is the means by which the public can
express itself through varying kinds
of institutions and agencies. |
ayes, 1 know that taxation is a
rather dull subject; there IS nothing
romantic about it. But it
underlies the organization of our
social fabric, and we must consider
it. The sooner this consideration is
given, the sooner will unequal bur-
dens be rc-distributed so as to work
a hardship on none, and the sooner
can we proceed with our pan for.
South Carolina State sec-i
ond to none in genera | enlightcn-.
ment." -

MARRIAGE IN
THE LABORATORY

Tose conventional souls who have
feared that experimenting with mar
riage would undermine every piety
and morality will do we'll to read the
pronunciamento of Miss Fannie
Hurst in announcing her marriage
on-the-quiet. Fannie Hurst, the high
est paid short story writer in Amer
lea recently announced her marriage
five years ago to jacques S. Daniel
son, pianist, at Lakewood, N. J. For
a year it was trial marriage. "But
now, after an acid test which has
lasted five years." said Miss Hurst
"the dust is still on the butterfly
wings of our adventure and the dew
is on the rose"
The marriage was kept an abso-
lutte secret to everybody except the
parents of Miss Hurst and one mW-
tual friend of the couple, K, IT,
Davis, editor of Munsey's Magazine.
Mr.. and Mrs. Danielson parted thirty
minutes after the marriage cere-
mony and since they have maintain
ed separate homes, so as not to in
terfere with each others artistic
achievements. Since the public an
nouncement they will continue to
live apart. -.~
Miss Hurst declared to a reporter
of one of the New York dailies that
she and her husband are very much
in love. Their marital arrangements
are result of very definite theorie
concerning marriage which were
cherished by each. They have put
their theories into practice-and with
success, it seems. They have break
fast together twice Va week, instead
of every day. In the event a child is
born it will take the paternal name
until reaching the age of discretion,
at which time it will be allowed to
choose the name it prefers.
Miss Hurst in further defense of
be unusual theories of marriage
SAYS, "Being firmly of the opinion
that nine out of ten of the alliances
/ saw about me were merely sordid
endurance tests, evergreen with the
fungi of familiarity and contempt;
convinced that too often that most
sacred relationship wears off like a
piece of high sheen damask and in a
few months becomes as a breakfast
cloth, stale with soft boiled egg
stain, l made certain resolutions con-
cerning what my marriage should
not be.
"We decided that the antediluvian
custom of a woman casting aside the
name that had become as much a
part of her personality as the color
of her eyes, had neither rhyme nor
reason. I was born Fannie Hurst and
I expect to die Fannie Hurst.
eve believe in love, but not free
love. Rather, we are willing to pay
the price in mutual sacrifices toward
the preservation of one another's in
dividuality."
"If 1 had the marriage to do over
again." said Mr.. Danielson, the man
in the case, 81 would do it all in the
same way.
"The manner in which I and my
wife live is entirely agreeable to
both of US. We. will continue to live
as we have been living-for the pre-
servation of each others individual
ity."
Even the most critical connois-
seurs of Puritanical modesty can
find nothing in the announcement OF
either of the above parties to offend
the most delicate senses, much less
bring the blush of shame to the
cheeks. It is truly victorian alli'
ance of two young hearts.
