Not long ago when The Yorkville
Enquirer complained of rising eXtrava-
gance in taxation, the Greenville
News came chiding back with the re-
mindcr that the world is moving and
;hat if we would keep up with the
march Of progress we must pay taxes.
|. All that is very true, and we have
no desire to gainsay it; but what dis
turbs our confidence and creates ap-
prehension as to whittier we are drift
ing is doubt as to whether the revenues
of the state are being expended to
the best advantage. present or future,
CT the people from whom they are
collected.
No, we are not complaining merely
for the sake of having a crouch. Con-
sideration of the appropriation bills in
the light of the manner in which they
are made up by a few individuals in
free conference does not inspire con-
fidence. The rule in latter day legis-
cation is 10 defer action on contested
appropriations until members are anX-
ious to go home, days and days having
been wasted in the meantime, and
then push the matter through free
conference. In free conference, ap-
preparations figure not so much as a
matter of the direct and indirect well
fare Of the people who pay the fiddler,
rs matter of trading between the va
rious interests that have ulterior pur-
poses to subserve.
In a speech in Toledo Ohio, We'd
nesday, NJ. james NJ. Cox, late Demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency,
took fling at the conduct of affairs
in his state and among other things
called attention to the fact that the
tax bill is now $11,OOO,OOO against $4,-
100000 in 1915 and 100000 back in
1900.
Perhaps Mr.. Cox also needs TO be

BRIBERY! POLICE!

In The Yorkville Enquirer Of last
Tuesday there was a story sent out
by staff correspondent OF the paper
from Glover telling of the wholesale
purchase of fishing bait by several
fishermen who bought the bait from a
Charlotte sporting goods house which
conducted a fire sale.
Grapevine wireless from Glover is
that the wives of several Of those
fishermen went down town in Glover
to see the bait when they read the
story in The Enquirer and that several
husbands were assailed for alleged eX-
travagance. The fishermen who had
bought the big quantity Of bait, ac-
cording to grapevine, forthwith began
to make excuses but all to no avail.
Anyway The Enquirer reporter who
wrote the story received a package
from Glover yesterday afternoon which
proved to be Midget Minnow,"
whatever that is. 1t was n pretty
minnow artificial bait with hooks and
eyes and everything.
And in the package containing the
bait there was this laconic message
written OF the back of portion of
bank check: Hush Money"
Ard the fishermen are doubtless con-
vinced that Glover women read The

SAYS SUGAR TOO HIGH.
Claus A. SpreckIes Closes Down Great
Refining Plants.

Claus A. Spreckles, president of the
Federal Sugar Refining company, who
declared on his arrival from abroad
that the price of sugar was too high,
emphasized his remarks Friday, by
announcing the Federal company's
plant at Yonkers, n. Y.
After declaring the production in
Cuba and France would be abundant,
he continued:
Sugar has been advanced in price
three quarters of n cent in the last
two or three weeks.
This is an advance that bears the
earmarks of pure speculation and not
because of n legitimate condition. I
can not but expect when this new crop
begins TO come in or in anticipation of
it within the next thirty days, sugar
must take drop"

THE GENERAL ELECTION.

The election commissioners for York
county, both state and Federal, give
notice today of the general election to
be held at the various regular voting
places established by law in York
county, on Tuesday, November Z.
The purpose of this election is the
legal ratification of the primaries Of
August and September The elections
in August and September were Cor the
purpose of making nominations. The
elections on Tuesday, November Z, are
for the purpose of confirming those
nominations.
From the official notices published
today, it will be observed that all of
the precincts that were used in the
primary will not be used in the gener-
al election. The explanation of that is
that the primary voting places were
established under the rules of the par
ty and the general election precincts
are established by statute. The stat
ute does not recognize all the voting
places that We're used in the primary
Qualification for voting in the pri-
mary consisted in enrolment on the
Democratic club roll, and each voter
cast his ballot at the polls of his own
particular club. Qualification to vote
in the general election consists in the
possession of registration certificate
and receipts evidencing the payment
of all past due state and county taxes.
The voter casts his ballot only at the
precinct indicated by his registration
certificate.

advertise; but the man who has moth

poor man. and for a community of
such men there is very little hope.
However there are few so poor as that.
Let each put forth his best, with an
honest determination to do his full
share, and the result will take care of
itself for each advertising the best he

how we feel that there is more to the
complaint than that.
Certainly appropriations must grow
as business, wealth and population
grow; but because we are growing in
business, wealth and population is no
good reason why we should be waste
fully extravagant in our appropria-
tons, or why the peoples money
should be spent in the promotion of
schemes and undertakings that are not
clearly for the benefit of the whole
people.

Acting upon the advice Of its at
torneys as to it's tenure of office,
which is the same as the advice given
it some months ago by its former
attorneys, Kibbey, Bennett & Jenckes,
the county highway commission has
addressed a communication to three
publishers apSrising them of the pur-
pose of the commission to advertise
for bids about Jan. 10 for the COM

On or about Jan. 10 the commission
will advertise for bids on the remain

160 miles.
Bids will be asked on asphaitic con-
crete, bitulithic and cement concrete

is available for the completion of the
program.
We trust that you will give this
publicity until such time as we are
able to begin advertising, which will
be as above stated.
Yours truly,
(Signed) A. F. JONES,
Chairman.
The following is the opinion of the
commission's attorneys:
In answer to your question as to
what, in view of the present opinion
from the county attorneys office
should be your procedure, 1 wish tc
say that there appears to be nothing
for the commission to do except to &c
ahead with it's work in completing
the entire road building program, and
in utilizing the proceeds of the sec
ond bond issue as soon as the same
are available. You are the men
with the exception of Mr.. Baldwin
who as highway commissioners rec
commended the issuance of the $4.-
100000 of bonds and the roads to be
Improved thereby. The electors ap-
proved your recommendations with
the understanding that you were the
men who would handle this $4,000 900
The board of supervisors in theii
resolution of Aug. 16, 1920. certainly
expressed the clear intent to give you
jurisdiction of the proceeds of thi:
second bond ISSUE l see no reasor
why you should/stop building road:
merely because lawyers differ in Their
opinions. If the county attorney
deems IL his duty to bring quo war.
ranto proceedings or some other ap.
propriate action to determine whether
you are assuming official function!
which you have no right to assume
then you may take your defense II
court and have an adjudication of th'
matter.
In view of the fact. as I under
stand it, that Mr.. Baldwin was ap
pointed to have jurisdiction only il
relation to the proceeds of the frs
bond issue, it would be well, If tn,
supervisors see fit. for them to ap
point him as a commissioner to hav'
jurisdiction of the proceeds of tn
