Tax Relief.

The Yorkville Enquirer is in hearty
concurrence. with those who believe III
the necessity of revising and reform :
inc the totally inadequate tax system
Of this state, and it is Glso i'm sympathy
with those who believe in drastic
barring down of the. appropriation oilis'
We have nothing TO say against sen
assumed itaxation ON account OF better
educationat facHities,' better roads ot
local public improvements of whatever
nature. We believe in such things Out
we are opposed to too liberal increases
in the state levy for experimental pur-
Moses and we believe with Mr.. Crouch
Of Saluda. that we should take our
losses i'm various of the recent expert
u,arts we nave attempted and get BACK
nc nearly as possible to the old-tme
basis.
Il is n fact that the burdens of taxa
tinn can be more equitab!y dlslrlputeu'
and we favor n more equitable distri-
bution not so much for the purpose OIL
raising more money as lof 'he pun
of relieving those who are now bearing
more than their share Of the burdens
of the government.
OF all the various new experimental
institutions there is not one in whose
defense a great deal cannot be SAID;
but even that does not always JUSTIFY
state support at the rate we are so4lPs
now. to say nothing of the deveDp-
ments of the future.
We believe strongly in patcrnalism
aa applied to orr common schoois' ,pu' '''
regardless of the burden OF taNa!!ion ION
involved we are allowing our paternal-
ism in other directions to 80 too far'
The legislature can materially reduce
appropriations and we believe it is go
ing to do so.

ing any of the numerous established
institutions. different delegates eX-
messed more or less impatience with
the appropriations for the state high

health. The idea is that the highway
commission should be maintained with
lust enough authority to enable the
state to comply with'the requirements
necessary to get it's share of the federal
road appropriations, and those opposed
to the 3. state board of health insisted
that the possible practical benefits are

being demanded.

Cincinnati Is Scene of Gathering
 Root to Speak

Cincinnati, Aug. 30.-Visiting del- egates who are here to attend the an nual convention of the American Bar Association today expressed them selves as emphatically opposed to the methods of law enforcement attribut- d to the ku Klux Klan, which has 9alned strong foothold in the south.
 in the opinion of Hampton Law 4ence Carson, Philadelphia, acting president of the association, the Ku Nlux klan should not be permitted to usurp the authority of courts in the enforcement of the laws
 A firm administrati ton of the law is needed to meet conditions of crirn- !nal violence" Mr. Carson said.
 Ihre must be orderly procedure, such as judge would give. A -hasty trial on the part of mob is a lapse toward barbarisn. Efforts on the part of the Ku klux klan or other or 5anlzations to enforce law only means more excitement, more violence, and such efforts have no place in the United States'
 Judge Peter Meldrum, Savannah, fia., was emphatic in his denuncia tion of the methods of Klan, 'I am very much opposed to that type of organ lzatlon,' Judge Meldrum said. Ut is p2rnicious in the extreme and should not be tolerated." he added.

Porter said that the men said mes sages had been sent across the noun tain to peace officers that the four will not be surrendered but would be exchanged for captive miners at the rate of one captive deputy for two miners.
 A summary of other disturbing un- confirmed reports reaching the gov ernor's office and made public there late last night and early today fol- lows:
 That armed men are again form ing in the vicinity of Marmet coming from the Paint and Cabin Creek coal fields.
 That Logan county friends of Mag istrate Mitchell and his fellow cap tives have threatened to attempt their release by force Tuesday.
 That the situation in Boone county tc the west of Madison is causing au- thorities much concern.
 That a fifth prisoner, Deputy Charles Moore, was added to the Hewitt's Creek group yesterday"
 Sheriff Hatfield of Mcdowell county has sent half of his force of deputies brought here to assist Sheriff Chafin back to Welch on the strength of rumors that a large body of men is gathering at Mullens, Wyoming county. The sheriff himself, however, remained at Logan. Efforts to con- firm the Mullens rumors through Bluefeld were unsuccessful.
 A statement issued by the Logan 'coal operators association at Logan described the situation as not mere ly a union movement but an insur- rection' and adds "it is a revolution and must be dealt with as such." The operators charge union miners off, cials with being responsible.
 Miners officials on other hand stead lastly aver they are doing all within their power to maintain order and cite MT. Keeney's efforts at Madison last week and his letter to Logan miners entreating that they refrain from acts of violence to substantiate their contentious.
