If You Are Tax-Burdened, Think of
the Rich.
BY K. c. B,

Otto H. Kahn thinks the rich are paying too
great a share of the income tax. We have been
hoping for long time that somebody would
say a kind word for the tax -burdened rich. How
can a man with an income OF 100000 a year be
expected to struggle along the paItry $4,000
or thcreabouts that the Government permits him

DADS OLD BREECHEs.

A contrib sends a poem which will
be appreciated by grown-up men
who, as small boys, wore breches
made from dads or older brothers: !:
When dad had worn his trousers out
They paced to Brother John:
Then mother trimmed them round about
And william put them on.
When williams legs too long had grown.
And the trousers failed to hide 'em,
Walter had them for his own,
And slowed himself inside 'em.
When Sans fat legs burst the stitches,
Ma worked them into rugs and caps;

THoMPsoN.MILLER.

A marriage Of local interest was
solemnized Tuesday afternoon, Au-
gust 2, at 4:30 at the Hampton Ave
nue. Methodist parsonage, when Miss
Fay Alice Thompson became the
bride of Mr.. Joe L. Miller. The
bride is the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. l.. o. Thompson, Of Forest City,
N. c., formerly of Pickens, where
she was born and reared. She is a
very attractive young lady, very
popular, and has large circle of
friends, both in Greenville and her
native county.
The groom is young man
much admired for his streling quail
ties. A native Of Georgia, he has
been in Greenville for several years,
and holds an important position in
tn clerical department of the vir-
ginia- Carolina Chemical Co., Of this
city, and is held in high esteem by
his employers and workers.
Immediately after the ceremony
the bride and groom left for New
York and Atlantic City. They will
be at home in Grcenville after Au-
gust 15th.-Grcenville News.

sold to farmers throughout this sec

ful existence and has meant much to
the development of the town.
There is also an. ice mill here, a
hotel where the good meals served
are known to all the travelling men
between Greenville and Atlanta, also
a number of smaller enterprises.
Liberty is not talking expansion of
the corporate limits. The steady
growth of the town, as in the past,
will be sufficient to show substan-
tial increase when Uncle Sam again
checks up his tenants, it is believed.
II. M. Chapman, young banker,
is mayor of this thriving municipal
ity and he is supported in his en-
deavors by every Libertyite-both

LIBERTY ENJOYS STEADY
GROWTH.
Fastest Growing Town in the State"
Residents Call it; no Business
Failures.

The growth and development Of
Liberty, the fastest growing town in
the state, reads more like romance
than actual facts. From popula-
tion of 368 in 1900 the town jump
ed to 1,068 in 1910 and last year
when Uncle Sam checked up the folk
who live between the Atlantic and
the Pacific, total of 1,705 persons
gave Liberty as their home town.
But the town has not stopped
growing since that time, despite the
period of depression which has grip
ped the nation. Business men, bank
ers and others here do not talk hard
times. If there has been any hard
times it is a thing of the past, Lib
erty business men say. And they
believe every word of that statement.
The business houses which were
buying and selling goods when the
period of depression began are still
going on in the even tenor Of their
way. With the exception Of one or
two minor concerns which were in
business for only short time, there
have been no failures recorded here.
The new school building, costing
approximately $4,000, was occupied
last October but it was not until a
few weeks ago that it was completed.
The erection Of this structure was
made necessary by the constant
growth of Liberty and the increasing
number Of children applying for adj
mission to the chools.
j. +. Bannistcr, president Of the
Liberty Bank and one Of the towns
livest wires, talked interestingly of
the growth Of this Pickens county
town. Mr.. .Bannister came to Lib
erty seventeen years ago when there
were only three brick buildings in
the entire town and only 45O per-
sons called this home
Today the actual number of resi-
dents inside of the town limits is not
far from 1000, while there are SO
brick buildings on Liberty street.
The growth Of the town has not
been confined to the number of in
habitants nor to the number of busi-
ness houses There are in the town
today two church buildings, the Bap-
tist and Presbyterian, each of which
represent an outlay of approximate
ly $4,000.
Liberty also has fertilizer mix
ing plant, the Franklin Guano COM
pany, which has daily capacity of
rs tons. The ingredients are brought

"JoHNt BARTON PAYNE,
Chairman
It Is a significant comment on the
lack Of consideration which this appeal
by the Shipping Board received at the
hands of New York City'e Dock Com
missioner that on August 3, 1920, Rear
Admiral w. S. Benson. who succeeded
Chairman Payne, sent this letter to Al
fred NJ. Marling, president of the Cham
Der Of Commerce. under whose auspices
Gen. Black had made his address In
June:
You are doubtless aware OF tho
fact that during the last few months
the chairman OF the Shipping Board
has been severely attacked and criti-
cised in some OF the New York news
papers for his statement to the ef-
feet that conditions In New York, so
far as shipping 10 concerned, were
very bad. and further that he. the
chairman. intended to take steps that
would properly distribute the chip
ping of the country and at the same
time arouse spirit Of competition
at tho various ports. with the ulti.
mate result Of decided improveme It
in the handling OF shipping in the
various ports.
am inclosng herewith for your
information extracts from a report
which has just been made to me.
simply ask you. as one man 70
another. whether you think that I.
as chairman OF the Shipping Board.
would be 1usufied In permitting tnlS
condition to continue without maxi
ing every possible effort to remedy
It?
While I do not wish to appear in
public print. I am inclined to believe
that for self-protection 1t may be
necessary for me to publish the
actual conditions that exist in and

cerned Very truly yours.

HyIan Supports Hubert.

And on November IS. 1920, in a
memorandum prepared for Capt Foley.
director of operations at Washington.
1t was set forth:
An effort was made last spring to
obtain from the city OF New York
the lease of two North River piers.
In fact an application was made to
the city but resulted only in a pub
lie critlcism by the Mayor and Dock
Commissioner of the Governments
operation of the Brooklyn Army
Base piers.
The public criticism was a state
ment by Mayor Hylan on March 8.
1920. in which he commended Dock
Commissioner Hubert Tor refusing to
assist the United States Shipping
Board or grant It's application for the
use of piers SO and 81. Hudson River.
Under no circumstance. said Mayor
Hylan to Hubert, revoke pier per-
mts of American shippers for the
benefit Of anybody who pretends to be
working In the interests of American
shippers when in fact they are SYM
pathizing with foreign shipping in
terests''
At the time this was written COM
missioner Hubert was renewing the
ten year leases OF the international
Mercantile Marine on several piers. but
the Munson Steamship Line could get
no pier. Pier Sc, which the Oriental
Navigation Company held under a
revocable permit. was being used TO
accommodate Shipping Board vessels.

and sloops engaged in traffic on the Hud
son River.
1T has been construed by the Corpora
ton Counsel that Section 500 relates to
what are termed open piers or un-
shielded PIERS and we make the charge
In the Dock Department on an unshedded
pier in accordance with the provisions
of this act.
II brought to the attention OF the
Shipping Board many cases where the
Shipping Board were paying consider
ably In excess of the rate fixed by the
charter or by me under the charter, and
they told me they had themselves fixed
minimum rate of $75 day. Why
they did II I do not know. but the agent
representing the Shipping Board proba-
bly, collected for his services the Diff
ference between the SIS and the s12 or
S14 or SIS, whatever 1t might be. that
the Shipping Board would have paid the
Dock Department under the provisions
OF the charter.
THAT is, OF course, speculation.
But it goes on. have maintained,
under Section sea. that the tenant OF
city pier was not entitled to collect on
a basis of wharfage any greater wharf
age than ! could collect II the pier were
operated by the Dock Department, but
me in that, because he says that applies
to an open pier. There was test case
on the right to collect wharfage which
came up before Judge Hand In the
United States Court in the Arend case
The Corporation Counsel has held,
both in the administration of my pre-
decessor as we'll as myself that the
lessees of city property are not limited
to the rates OF wharfage which the Dock
Commissioner charges where those piers
remain under the city jurisdiction and
control"
Mr.. Brown asked:
II find that Pier 10. North Rivere,
Eastern Steamship Corporation, was
rented at s63.SS day, and that they
were collecting $3.50 n day; and the
North River Clyde Steamship Company
Piers "A and As. renting for S77.273 per
year. or sA2.9S a day. and they charge
the Shipping Board $225; and here are
the rest of the other fourteen companies,
where the rental charges per day run
from s5S33 and there is collected by
the lessee for wharfage $350 day, and
so on down through. I need not take all
of these figures. What would like to
know is whether the city has any juris-
diction over the wharfage charges from
the lessee to other parties?"

Great Britain Has
Beat Us To 1t

London, March 16-Great Britain
and Russia today signed a trade
agreement.
The document marked the first
assumption of commercial arrange
ments with an allied power. Rus
STA made important concessions, the
most notable being an agreement
to cease Bolshevik propaganda out
side of Russia.
Negotiations over the trade agree
ment have extended over the great
er part of year, Great Britain
demanding release Of all prisoners
held by Russia as well as renuncia-
ton of Soviet propaganda
One Russia representative M.
Kamenieff, was ordered out of
Great Britain because of his atti-
tude and because he was alleged to
have attempted to subsidize a Lon
don newspaper.
Complicated arrangements had
to be made for the handling of
goods because of the lack of indi-
vidual capital in Russia.
Russian leaders believed the treaty
will lead later to full political rec
ognition.

Cost of Elections

To effect the recall of Mayor w.
H. Clay and the Public Safety Com
missioner, C. A. Turner, would cost
the city between $4,000 and $4,000,
according to estimates today based
on city election costs of recent years.
There would be at least two and
perhaps three elections necessary
should the recall petition be signed
by sufficient number to compel a
referendum ballot. The first ballot
ing would be on the recall. There
would then be primary election to
choose from among the field of can
didates for the finals. In the event
of there being no election at the pri-
maries, a final and third balloting
would be necessary to make a final
choice. The election held last May
cost the city approximately $4,000.
Two elections means an outlay from
the general fund of $4,000 and three
elections would be an expense of
about $4,000.

The "open shop" campaign is not

that it has nothing behind it save
the money of large employers and
cruel and brutal materialism at
