 the increase in the value of Philip
 pine products in 1920 was due large

 In 1920 the area of land planted to rice amounted to 3,700,000 acres,

The report states that if the present income tax law is amended as recommended by the commission, an additional reVe- nue of S250,000 to the government would result annually.
 The commission, commenting on the income tax as a source of revenue says:

TAXATION WITHOUT PUBLIC
NECESSITY

A news story given out in Jeffe''
son City this week informs the tax.
payers OF the state that receipts from
income taxes this year will amount
to at least $4,000 900 more than last
year. 1t must be borne in mind That
the Democrats in the Fifty-First
General Assembly endeavored con-
tinuously to induce Republican lead
ers to consent to the reduction OF the
income tax rate, or perhaps its re-
peal altogether. Governor Hyde We
toed bill, sponsored by Senator
Bower of Nevada, a Democratic Sen
ator, reducing the rates, otherwise
the great sum indicated would not be
collected from the people.
If the state had been in serious fl
nancial straits-if the demands for
legitimate state purposes had been
greater than the anticipated revenues,
there might be some excuse for the
levy, or, SO far as that goes, for in
creased assessments, in order to OBJ
tain more revenue. But there is no
such need. The GARNER adrinistra-
ION left surplus of $4,9oo,ooo,
which should have enabled the Hyde
administ, alton, if it had carried out
its original pledges, to reduce taxa
ton, and even further, to reduce ap-
preparations. Instead of this, the APP
preparations approach $3oooo,ooo or
nearly as much as it cost the last adj
minstration for four years, amount
ing to double appropriations, while
taxation mounts skyward, and assess
ments have attained unprecedented
proportions.
There is never any excuse fo- IN
creased taxation, unless the actual
and imperative needs of the go, ern-
ment demand it, and even thea, the
first effort OF those in charge oi the
states affairs should be to ascertain
whether it is possible to cut state ex-
penses. When both income and or,
binary tax revenue receipts are III
creased needlessy, and appropriations
doubled, crime is committed against
the state. The Hyde administration
cannot escape responsibility for this
situation. They must either admit
themselves incompetent to run the
state, incapable of discerning the state
of the revenues, or else subject them
selves to the general condemnation
they are now receiving.
Governor Hyde had his opportun-
ity. He had it in the regular legis.
1ative session, when he could have re-
duced taxes. He had it when he was
confronted with the problem OF
equalization-ef- assessments
could have favored equalization by
lower assessments with the same tax
rate, and the state. would not have
Suffered 1t is too late for him to
back up, and say that he will advo-
cate reduction OF the income tax in
the special session. Why, did he veto
the bill passed by the regular session:
There is a reason, of course, and that
reason is that the referendum CAM
paign of the Democratic state or
ganization has alarmed the Cover
nor. He has discovered that he can
not accomplish his original plans
without getting into serious trouble,
hence he seeks to play the craw-fish.

NEEDED GREAT-AND NOW.

That the city of Columbia should
build an inviting and comfortable
market place to which the farmers Of
Richland, Lexington and other coun-
ties might bring their vegetables,
fruits, poultry, eggs and meats and
sell them is not open to argument. So
much The State has been saying in
sistently six OF seven years, having
begun to say it with all the emphasis
it could command long before the
United States went to war with Ger
many.
An attractive and commodious mar
ket building, erected at convenient
place and having all the appointments,
conducive to health and economy
would be of great benefit to Colum-
bia. 1t would save Columbians a
great deal Of money as well as make
a great deal of money for farmers
What Mr.. G. W. Thomas says in a
letter today is in substance what-The
State has pleaded for.
How the market place should be
conducted and how it should be con-
trolled, The State does not under
take to say, but it has no doubt that
were it provided, with the desirable
equipment where the producer and
consumer would meet, the details
would almost take care of them
selves.
The notion Of a central market Is
not new in Columbia, or anywhere
Such a market we had but we did not
maintain it when the town outgrew it
we did not enlarge it and we did not
improve it. as progress in sanitation
required. It is foolish for city tc
be without a central market where
producers of fresh meats and Vege'
tables and all fresh Things can trade
directly with consumers. Without il
Columbia is behind the times a lone
way and, for. that reason, is unneces-
sarily taxing itself and at the same
time neglecting to give to the farmers
in it's neighborhood what would con-
.sidera bly, enhance their prosperity. On
their prosperity that of Columbia Is
in great measure dependable.-The
State.
