In six years the cost Of the, lcsTis-
lature to the taxpayers has been al
most doubled.
Who did this?
The members of the Legislature
themselves.
The legislators in 1920 sought to
get around the Constitution by call
ing the extra pay "eXpenses"-
got by with it altho it was, in our
opinion, an indefensible violation of
the State Constitution.
Suppose Mr.. Kcnnemorc should
hire man who contracted to finish
job at S. day for not moro than
40 days. If that man loafed on the
JOB and didn't finish it in the, speci-
fed time and then tried to charge
Mr.. Kennemore $500 additional for
Expenses" would Mr.. Kennemore
give it to him? Neither he nor any
other sensible man would, but that
is just what the legislature did
AS Ike Smith, the sage Of Thicketty
says, you can put something over all
the people some Of the time, you can
put something over some Of the peo-
pie all of the time, but you can't put
something over all Of the people all
Of the time.

.LoAFlNG ON THE PEOFLE's JOB

Greenville Piedmont a
i In q recently: published com,nunica,
tion Citizen Elias Earle KennemoTtee,
poured some hot shots into the legis-
lature of South Carolina, to wit:-
81 want to say word with ref
erence to our tax system. Governor
Cooper said on ono occasion that taxes
could not be reduced, and suppose
that he was correct, when you take
into consideration the bunch Of law
makers that he has to deal with. I
am sure he, Individually, could not
reduce it--especially when the law
makers made it business of spend
ing the weeks ends at home e-some-
times edjourning on Friday and not
getting down to work until Monday
night or Tuesday Of the next week,
therefore, you see week was cut at
both ends. And in this way and
other ways, they idled around and
failed to work as they should and
had to work over time on account Of
not keeping on their jobs regularly:
they then had to remain over a lot
Of time to do the work of the session,
and voted themselves extra pay for
this extra work. Not only did they
do this, but they voted to increase
their salaries from five to ten dollars
a day, and we tax payers are going
to have reckoning next summer
during the campaign in this State
and in this county"
What about this?
Is it so?
1t is.
Tho printed journals of both houses
of the legislature Of South Carolina
will show numerous recent weekend
adjournments from Friday to Monday
or Tuesday. In the good old days,
when there were no railroads, lcgisla-
tors went to Columbia got the job
done and didn't come home until they
had finished They come home now
as often as the spirit moves them.
The Constitution of Sc. sh Carolina,
which the people onlJ can legally
change, declares in Article III Section
8 that Members of the General AS
scmbly shall not receive any compen-
sation for more than forty days Of
any one session. The legislature
at the session Of 1920 deliberately
disobcyed that command of the peo-
pie in the State Constitution and not
only remained in session more than
forty days but also voted the mem
bers extra pay. This was not only
unconstitutional, but it made al
unconstitutional addition to the tan
burdens borne by the people.
Let us consider scmc facts about
four sessions of the legislature: those
in 1919, 1919, 1920 and 1921.
FIRST, as to the length Of session
Tho session Of 1915 lasted from Jan
12 to Feb. 80. The session Of 1919
from Jan. | 4. to March /. The ses-
sicn Of 1920, from Jan. Is to March
6. The session Of 1921, from Jan. /
to March S. Half month added on
in six years.

nation and were released on $500
Commissioner Macdonald, in fixing
the bond at $500, pointed out that
both of the men had been long estab-
l!shed in Washington and that IN
view of this fact he would agree to
the relatively small bond.
Immediately after the hearing Will
liam Leahy, DR.. Brayden's attorney,
declared that his client wished to be
placed on record as saying that he
had never violated the prohibition
act, either in its letter or spirit.
Assistant District Attorney Pres
mont appeared for the government
while two of the prohibition oper-
atives who participated in the raid
on the East Capitol street drug store
were present and ready to testify. :
1t was intimated by the prosecu-
tion that there were several other doc
tors, not necessarily connected with the
East Capitol street raid, who were
being sought because of alleged
manipulation OF liquor prescriptions.
DR.. Malone, who is already held on
three charges as a result OF the ralo
on his drug store Monday night, was
already out on a $500 bond before
he appeared before Commissioners
Macdonald today.

MAY GET PRIORITY

Dangerously Short.

Much Fuel Shipped From Vir-
ginia and Southern Ap-
palachian Fields.
REPORT HEAVY LOADINGS

Special priority orders for the
shipment of fuel to railroads whose
coal supplies are running dangerously
low were under consideration today
by Federal Fuel Distributor Spencer
and the central coal committee.
Particularly acute fuel situations
were reported to the committee from
railroads in Michigan and New Jersey
and lines running out of Chicago into
Illinois and southwestern lines out of
st. Louis.
The committee has under consider
alton application of the absolute
priority provisions of the Interstate
Commerce Commissions service order
No. 23. which provides primary class
ification for special purposes when
designated by the commission. For
the time being. it was stated, the
central committee is disposed to let
its district committees handle the
"sore spots in an effort to provide
those carriers with fuel quickly with
out the necessity for losing time
through the operation of special or
ders.
Cannot Hold Dealers.
The question of diversion of coal
under contract to railroad users was
discussed by the committee and the
opinion expressed that under exist
ing laws dealers could not be held
to their contracts in cases where
they diverted coal to carriers upon
instructions from the emergency coal
control organization.
Heavy carloadings of coal on Mon
day were reported to the committee
from the southern Appalachian and
Virginia fields. officials said, but no
figures were made public.
Conditions Improve.
Mechanical conditions on some of
the lines running out Of the produc-
ing coal fields. especially the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and the Norfolk and
Western, were reported to be improv-
ing and additional mechanics to have
been put to work upon the Virginia
railway.
Representatives of the Pennsyl-
vania state coal committee met to-
day with Secretary Hoover and Mr..
Spencer to work out a maximum
fair price for coal produced in that
state. According to the view of the
federal organizat ton, most Of the coal
produced in Pennsylvania is for con-
sumption within the state SO that
state representation was required to
fix maximum price levels.

FREDERICK, Md. August EN-
ragged because two deputy sherihs
attempted to take his automobile to
satisfy overdue payments. w. A.
Stultz, forty-five years old, shot both
of the officers. seriously wounding
them, and killed outright a police
man, who appeared later to arrest
him.
The dead man is John Adams,
member of the local police force for
four years. The injured are Deputy
Sheriff Charles w. Smith. who was
shot through the right thigh, and
Deputy Sheriff Allen Bartgis. who
was shot in the right arm. Both
were taken to the hospital and will
recover.
Ohicers Armed With Warrant.
Smith and Bartgis were sent to the
mans home with warrant authoriz-
ing them to levy on the automobile,
for which Stultz still owed a con-
siderable sum of money. AS they
entered Stultzs home the latter
seized a shot gun from a nearby rack
and opened fire, telling Smith. Bartgis
had backed out of the door and was
climbing into his own automobile
when Stultz fired a second shot, the
load breaking his arm.
Both the injured men were able
to drag themselves out of range be-
fore their assailant could reload his
shotgun, and they telephoned to the
city Jail for help. Policeman Adams
was sent to the place in response to
their appeal and. as he entered
Stultz's doorway, the, latter fired for
the third time. The charge went
through the right side of the police
mans neck. killing him instantly.
Hides Behind Barricade.
Barricading himself in his home, the
auto owner defed Sheriff James A.
Jones and half a dozen deputies for
sometime before he informed police
man by telephone that he would sur
render under promise Of protection
from violence Upon receiving such as
surance he gave himself up without
further bloodshed.
Feeling against the prisoner ran 50
strong that the Frederick authorities
were compelled to rush him in the Jail
in Baltimore.
Threats Of LynchinE. @
Threats were being made on the
public streets shortly after the mur-
der that Stultz would be lynched be-
fore noon, and automobiles were en-
ployed for the trip to Baltimore.
Several weeks ago Stultz was tried
here for violating the federal prohi-
bition laws and was sentenced to
forty weeks in jail. He was out on
bail pending hearing of a motion for
an appeal.
