. At the request of Senator Neils
Christensen, Chairman of the Joint
Legislative Committee on Economy
and Consolidation, we take pleasure in
helping to get the statement that Is
printed elsewhere in this issue to the
people. AS we see It, the Legislature OF
this state has for several years past
been almost inbecilic. Instead Of de-
voting itself mainly TO the all import
ant business OF law and order, security
to life and property it seems to have
been acting mainly as the self consti-
tuted administrator of the proceeds OF
the peoples" industry. Instead of try
ing to promote self-government, it has
been trying to govern. Instead of con-
sidering the people as citizens, 1t has
seemed to consider them as subjects.
Instead of concerning itself with the
equalization of taxation, 1t has seemed
to be concerned only with the levying
Of taxes and spending money. Not
content to contlne itself to the foster
ing and development Of the absolutely
necessary public institutions, it has
been amusing itself with numerous and
vaffed experiments all at the expense
Of the taxpayers, The statement from
this committee indicates that at least
the Legislature is beginning to come to
it's senses. The grumblings of the, peo-
n,e have become more and more audi
BILE, and there are indications that they
are approaching the danger lines OF
revolt. Except for the widespread
crop failure and distress throughout a
large part Of the state, we would prob
ABLY not have been offered the hope OF
relief that is now being held out. But
however this may be, there is en-
couragement in the statement. referred
to. Taxes need to be reduced on the
people. and wasteful extravagance
needs to be stopped. The burdens or
government need to be more equally
distributed and by all means there
should be reform in our judicial system
so that the laws may be administered
in the interest Of right and justice.

II there is a suggestion In President
Harding's message to congress that
meets with our hearty approval more
than anything else, 1t is that sugges-
ton for a constitutional amendment to
do away with any further creation of
tax free securities. This tax free Sc
curity idea. is, put Of harmony with
.Americanism,, gundemocratic and vici-
9aus. There is d percentage Of selfishly
constituted people Who rebel at the
idea fof sdoiHY tEsfe BaFt by3any gov

Suit of happiness, and while they know
that this has tosbeapaid fen they are
content to. leave tbe .burdSn on some
body elseEon their 'neigffbofs. Such
people are disposed to buy tax free Sc
,curities even where the same money
would yield a larger net income after
the payment Of taxes. Men Of large
wealth get their money into this form
of investment and then congratulate
themselves on their exemption from
the burden that they have helped to
put on other people-the people who
stand for progress and who keep the
country going. There should be no
such thing as tax free securities and
the legislator who stands for such a
thing should be ashamed of himself
We would like to see the constitution
of the United States amended so as to
prohibit the further creation of tax
free securities and also we would like
to see anoend of tax exemption in
South Carolina, for whatever purpose.

PETE HERMAN STOPS
ADAMS IN THE FIRST
Former Champion Batters
Down the Chicago Bantam
in Jig Time.
ny CHARLES r. MATHIsoN.

When Pete Herman held the title Of
worlds bantam champion he usually
fought like a man determined to stay
the limit. Since losing the honors of
the class to Joe Lynch, Herman has
fought like a real champion. He scored
quick victory last night at the Cen
trail Manhattan Sporting Club over
George Adams Of Chicago. a a,youngster
with an excellent reputation. Herman
stopped Adams In the first round of the
bout, the Chicagoan lasting Q minutes
and 80 seconds.
Herman did more lighting during the
round than he had been accustomed to
do in ten rounds, and he finished Adams
with a cyclonic rush and q shower of
heavy blows that made the former title
holder look like Terry McGovern.
The bell had barely sounded for the
first round when Herman pounced on his
opponent and peppered him with hard
smashes to the body and the jaw
Adams was taken by surprise and could
do little save cover and run. Herman
pursued the Chicago boy, feinted him
into raising his guard to protect his jaw
and then shot a left hook to the pit of
the stomach.
Adams crumpled and sank to the floor
where he remained till the count Of
nine. On regaining his feet, Adams,
who was shaky on his legs sought to
get out of range, but Herman rained
blows on body and Jaw and beat the
Chicagoan to the floor. This time
Adams never moved when the referee
said ten"
Herman's vigorous ring tactics are the
result of q determination to force Joe
Lynch into a return match, and if the
Crescent City boy. who but a few weeks
ago stopped Jimmy Wilde in seventeen
rounds continues at his present rate
of progress he can hardly fail TO get
a chance to regain the title.
Jack Stone, the hard hitting middle
weight that Charlie Rose has been
grooming, came TO grief when he faced
Augie Rather, a veteran boxer and
crafty ring general.
Stone tried for ten rounds to get a
right hand smash on Ratner's jaw and
failed. During this time Rather was
1abbing Stone in the face and hooking
him In the body, while outboxing and
out-thinking the youngster by a wide
margin.
Rather won the contest very handily
and never was in danger at any stage
of the combat. Stone is a strong chan
proved he could take punch and still
fight with vigor, but he needs consider
able instruction In ring tactics. With
experience and schooling Stone may
develop into a dangerous candidate for
the honors OF the class.
In the six round bouts Pete Slane
received the award OF the judges over
Joe Dundee and Willie Morris and Artie
Pierce boxed a draw.
