way OIL IJZZ.
l naccordancc with my desire to
keep in touch with my friends in the
first Congressional district and as I
am a candidate for denomination as
your Congressman, am writing you
short statement of my activities
whilst in Washington.
Believing that good roads are es-
scntial to the progress and prosperity
of our State l voted for ali Federal
appropriations for this purpose. Of
these South Carolina beginning July
!, 1922 will receive as her share Nine
hundred and nineteen thousand dol
lars and for the year beginning July
1, 1923 the sum Of one million and
siXty-one thousand dollars.
I also voted to extend the activities
of the War. Finance Corporation and
the placing at the disposal of that
body One billion Dollars to help take
care of the needs of the farmers and
stock raisers Of the country.
In accordance with the principles
of the Democrats party l voted
against the program of the Republi-
cans to abolish the excess profit taxes
and the surtaxes. This program car
ried through the House in spite of
the efforts of the Democratic party
simply means the transfer of heavy
burdens of taxation from the should
ers of those best able to bear it to
those least able to do so. I believe
in the reduction of taxation as far as
consistent with the needs of the gov
crnmcnt, but do not think we ought
enormously wealthy and leaving the
rest of us to take care Of ourselves
the best we can.
I voted to allow the formation of
| cooperative associations among far
mers and againts many insidious at
tacks against labor.
I voted for the Sheppard Towner
bill for protection and welfare Of mo-
theirs and infants. A measure of
great interest and Importance to the
women of the district.
supported legislation in favor of
an adequate Navy and opposed cx
penditures for an army larger than
believed the safety Of the country de-
manded.
/ During the recent session of Con-
sidcred in connection with the treat
mcnt of cx-scrvicc men and it was
great pleasure for me to support
! measures which would enable the
Veterans Burcau to compensate as
far as possible those who were in
iurcd or by reason Of the hardships
they encountered are unable to carry
on the struggle for existence. ] also
supported appropriation bills which
authorized the construction of Gov
crnment hospitals to care for the sick
and disabled and I also was in favor
Of and voted for the adjusted compen-
sation or bonus bill.
There are many other matters
which the Congress. was called upon
to consider to which gave due and
attentive consideration and voted as
/ thought was for the best interest of
the people / represent. I have tried
at all times to be attentive to the de-
sires of my constituents and that
without any consideration as to whe-
ther they voted for me or not. Every
one who has sought my aid, rich or
poor, powerful or weak I have render
ed service to the very utmost Of my
ability.
wish to say that | extend to YOU
the invitation to take up for you here
in Washington any matter in which
you are interested. I am sincerely
desirous to serve you and I hope that
my record which speaks for itself will
show that I have done this.
Thanking you for the kind co-opcra-
tion that you have afforded me in the
past and with sincere regards and
best wishes, | beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
w. Turner Logan.
