Tax Survey Uncovers
Tax Dodgers
Plan Tried Out in Columbia,
Greenville and Spartanburg
Adds Many Thousand
Dollars to Income of
State and Cities

Columbia, Sept. 2.-The idea Of
the tax survey, lnaugurated by the
state tax commission in the city of
Columbia, is spreading throughout
the state, and members of the state
tax commission are anticipating
increased approval of the plan for
a state survey, which will be ask
ed of the 1922 legislature. Since
the practical completion of the sur
yey in Columbia, SIMILAR SURVEYS
have been inaugurated in Green
vile and Spartanburg, and in addl-
ton other towns are wanting sur
veys. The towns of Anderson and
Bennettsville have applied to the
tax commission for similar surveys
Of their property.
The tax commission estimates
that the survey just completed in
Columbia will increase the tax rev.
Ienue in this city by approximately
100000. The survey to be made
in Greenville will add to the public
revenue a quarter Of million dol

from the survey to be made in Spar
tanburg, it is estimated. Anderson
would likely increase its revenue by
a similar amount, and several score
thousand would be the result for
Bennettsville.
The tax commission estimates
that a survey Of the property Of
the entire state would increase the
tax revnue by five million dollars.
thus materially tightening the bur-
dent of taxation. With taxation re-
duction as the main public issue Of
the day, the idea of a state survey
will have larger support at the next
General Assembly than it has had
in past years. By such survey all
properly Of the state would he re-
corded and put on the tax books. at
values proportionate to all other
assessments.

Foreign insects In
vading South Carolina
Mexican Bean Beetle and Vel
vet Bean Caterpillar May
Do Great Damage

Clemson College, Sept. 1.-Two
foreign insects pests which are
likely to do much damage, are be-
ing watched closely. says Prof. A.
F. Conradi, entomologist; namely
the Mexican bean beetle, which
has already reached this state: and
the velvet bean caterpillar, which
is rapidly working its way upward
from Florida and southern Geor-
gia.
The Mexican bean beetle has
been reported by government
scouts at two points in the north
western corner Of this state. viz,
Long Creek and point near
Easley. The spread of this pest
has been so rapid during the spring
and summer that it will possibly
spread over much territory before
being stopped by winter. This is
an especially destructive pest to all
kinds Of beans in the garden and
to cowpeas. The grubs, which do
the principal feeding. are one
fourth TO three-eights OF an inch
long, Of a bright yellow color, and
covered with spines which are
branched and eolored black at the
tips.
The velvet bean caterpillar has
been reported by the Florida ento-
mologists to be spreading in CEN
trail and northern Florida It is
believed that this pest may be eX-
pected in southern Georgia in
early September, and may reach
South Carolina by the middle OF
September. Throughout FLORIDA
this insect is a most serious pest to
velvet beans. This caterpillar when
full grown is nearly two inches
long. After it is half grown 1t is
generally dark green with proml-
nent bright colored lines with dark
er borders running lengthwlse on
the body. Many are pale green
with lines either indistinct or alb
sent. The line along the side OF
the body is wider than those on
the back and is often pink OF
brown. If disturbed it throws it
self violently until it reaches the
ground
Prof. Conradi urges that the oc-
currence of any suspicious insects
be reported to the entomology dl-
vision, Clemson College, S. c., SO
that steps may be taken to control
the pests.
