,ent to an extent that prevents re-

cent 10 an eNlelll tildl pieNciiIS 'S
form.
The state tax commission is compos-
ed of three as thorough going experts as
are to be found anywhere. A. w. Jones,
the chairman, is generally conceded to
understand the tax question as we'll as
any man in the United States Mr.. j..
P. Derham was trained under Mr.. Jones
and Mr.. w. G.. Query is on the COM
mission by reason Of his experience and
special fitness. Ali of these men are
patriotic, high toned South Carolinians,
who thoroughly appreciate the mlsera-
BILE task they have before them and
who are ready to make any personal
sacrifice that might be necessary to the
successful attainment of'the end to-
which they are devoting their efforts.
Let it be understood by all who do
not already know it, that these men
have nothing whatever to- do with the
imposition of. taxes or of spending the
revenues derived therefrom. Their sole
business is to identify existing injustice
and advise legislation calculated to re-
move the same in such manner as will
distribute the burdens Of government
among those who are best able to bear
those burdens and in more exact pro-
portion to their ability.
About ninety per cent Of the wealth
of this country is owned by less than
ten per cent Of the people, and ten per
cent of the people owning ninety per
cent OF the wealth pay less than twenty
per cent of the taxes while ninety per
cent of the people owning less than ten
per cent of the wealth. probably pay
more than eighty per cent Of the taxes.
Because Of the hoodwinking tactics OF
the ten per cent Of the people the nine
ty per cent are everlastingly suspicious
of every move made in the direction OF
the ten per cent, mainly through rear
of increasing their own burdens, anu
herein lies the main obstacle 10 equita-
BILE adjustment.
It was because the Legislature at last
realized that it was totally incompetent
to deal with the tax question that 1t
created the tax commission, but until
the legisla ature reaches the point where
it is willing to give the tax commis-
sion authority to deal with the prob
lens the tax commission was created
to solve, there can be but little pracu-
cal benefit from its creation. If the tax
commission has not made very salts
factory showing up to this time, II IS
mainly because the Legislature has not
given it the power by which such
showing can be made, and as matters
now stand. such fault as there is, rests
on the legislature and not on the taN
commission.
If the people of South Carolina really
desire progress with this tax problem
progress that will make for reduc-
ton of the taxes on the hundreds or
thousands that are least able to pay
and an increase on the ten thousands
that are more able to pay, they must get
behind the legislature and insist upon
it that the state tax commission ut once
be allowed full swing in the adjustment
Of the tax system in accordance with
what is known to be the right thing for
everybody.

In the opinion of The Yorkville En-
quirer that vacant seat on the supreme
court bench belongs TO Hon. r. w
Memminger by reason Of long and
faithful service on the circuit bench
backed up by character and ability that
will ensure the filing Of the position
with credit to the state and to himself
There may be other possible choices
for the position who would fiji the same
ably and 'creditably, but none Of them
have as strong and as just a claim as
Judge Memminger.

"WON'T YOU PLEASE
 GET ME A DOLL"

Wont you please get me doll?" pleaded a little 12-year-old inmate of the Salvation Army Maternity home in Los Angeles. She was, even then, suffering the pain attendant upon childbirth. An Arizona girl, she had fallen into the clutches of a human vulture in Los Angeles who preyed upon her youth and innocence.
 "But, my dear, you have real doll all your own," the kindly matron re- piled.
 "I know, but have never owned doll; please, please get me one," she pleaded.
 Her childish request was fulfilled and the motherly attendants at the institution cultivated in this mere slip of humanity a never-ending love for the doll that closed it's eyes, swayed about in it's tiny little crib and cried cultivated in her love for her off spring.
 This was only one of many similar cases handled by the, Salvation Army Maternity home in Los Angeles dur ing the past few months. This home serves the Arizona district and many of it's patients have been from this State.
 That this great work may be con- tinued on even a broader scale, the Salvation Army will conduct Home Service campaign in Arizona during the week of March 21-28, during which period this state will be asked to subscribe $25,400. The state bud get is the smallest in nearly. a decade. County quotas have already been pub | lished.
