able that If the taxing movement gets
strong enough to erystalize in an at
tempted statute that statute will have
to run the gauntlet OF the supreme
court, and If the supreme court turns
it down, the movement will be pushed
on further in the form of a proposed
constitutional amendment.
While the idea Of taxing bonds can
be very plausibly presented to the av-
erage man who is not bondholder,
we want to tell the non-bondholder to
don't. The bondholder don't care, or
more correctly speaking, he would a
little rather.
A tax on bonds means double taxa
ton, both ends of it falling on the
debtor. Sounds n little funny to the
uninitiated; but all the same it is a
fact.
|. Here is the way 1t works. OF course
a taxable bond has got to carry high
bond. The fact that the bond has to
pay taxes raises the interest rate.
Then the bond owner gets his property
out of sight of the tax collector by hid
ing it.
| 1t is all very we'll to talk Of making
the bond non- -coliectiblc except with
evidence Of all taxes assessed against
1t having been paid; but that simply
cannot be done except under an ar
rangement that will make the borrow
er foot the bill in the shape Of in
creased interest charges.
There is reason to believe that this
bond taxing agitation is directed
mainly against farm loan bonds. Be-
fore the passage of the farm loan act,
the farm mortgage was the choicest
pie that the money lender knew Of.
To begin with, he was able to exact
all kinds of commissions. and then he
had a way Of making an extra charge
for renewals-anywhere from one-hali
of one per cent up.
The farm loan act put n stop to this
pie by limiting the rate of interest to
he realized on loans to 6 per cent. and
limiting the gross profit to bonds is
sued against such loans to one per
cent. ,,..
This means that the millions and
billions Of money heretofore loaned on
farm mortgages at 7, 8 and 10 per
cent interest, must now seek invest
ment for G per cent or less.
But if the thing can be arranged
that farm loan bonds can be taxed
the rate of interest will have to be
raised to pay the taxes, and of course
the bill will have to be footed by the
fellow who is using the money.
A Federal tax on all kinds of state
and municipal bonds will be. in effect,
double taxation on the borrower, with
the additional charge going to the
creditor rather than the government.
There is no immediate danger of the
proposed change. At least the change
cannot be effected Immediately; but
eternal vigilance. will be required to
prevent it eventually, and in the mean
time people who believe in low rates
Of interest will do we'll to continue on
their guard. W ..E

Kershaw county charges toll for
crossing over the Wateree near Cam
den-50 cents for an automobile or
two-horse wagon; % cents for a one
horse wagon or man on horseback and
10 cents for footman. All precedent
up to this time in this part OF the
country has been along the line of
free bridges, and that is right-for our
own people; but it seems to us that 1t
would be just as we'll to charge toll on
Interstate travel to make it help keep

Senator Hefiin charges that w. G. p,
Harding made his money out of cotton
speculation during denation, and is
fighting his reappointmeLt to the gov
ernorShip of the Federal Reserve board
on that, among other grounds. 1t is
reasonably certain that Harding will
be re-appointed, and Senator Hefln
promises to raise cane over his con-
firmation, if he is Whether Harding
speculated in cotton during detiation,
of course we do not know; but that he
was unaware that deflation would set
cotton to tumbling is unthinkable. He
was bound to know that such would
have been one of the results, and
whether he speculated on his own be-
half or not. it is reasonably certain
that the reduction in the price of cot
ton was one of the reasons for defia-
ton. But what is 10 be gained by
kicking Harding off the board we do
not see. 1t sounds like child's talk. If
Harding is allowing his policy to be
dictated by big business, and he is,
why will his successor not do the same
thing? The fact is, he will.

But we wish Mr.. John Gary Evans
would also declare for the election of
Judges by the people. He is eminent
ly correct when he deplores the scant
repre.sE ntation the people have in the

size the fact that the man who inter-

the man who makes them. AS things
