SENSIBLE NATIONaLIsM

one of the most reassuring
shings about the three small Baltic
republics recently recognized by
tie United states is the way they
have learned, in their short period
OF probation, to work together.
At first, Esthonia, Latvia and
Lithuania fell into the same error
that mas characterized the small
states. Of central and southern Eu-
repe and has been the curse Of the
Old World since the war They
FELT their new nationalism so in-
rense1y, and were SO jealous OF
their Independence, that they over
emphasized their separateness.
They fomented old prejudices
against their neighbors and raised
up unnatural barriers to trade and
ccGnmunication. It is that sort
Of thing which has been the chief
obstacle to the economic and po-
Isieal reconstruction of Europe.
Eut the Baltic states unlike the
Balkan states, quickly preceived
that such a policy hindered their
own Development. They have mod
lied their commercial and other
restrictions and are now said to be
cooperating with each other for
common purposes to an extent new
ef known before.
y is this same policy that viii
save poor old Europe. if there is
any salvation possible fer that dis
trcssed continent.

Issue on Taxes.
(Iaurens Herald).

As the state campaign progress
es and county campaigns begin
the issues on the tax question are
being more clearly defined. There
are those who believe that the leg.
islature at. its last session made q
beginning in the right directio-
when under a program of tax re-
form the state levy was reducet
from twelve to seven mills by find.
ing new sources of revenue, the OBJ
ject being to furnish a measure OF
relief to those who were paying
what was considered heavy taxes or
their homes and farms.
Naturally this plan aroused op.
position among those who We're
called upon to pay what they con-
slider the taxes of other people who
own homes Or farms.
And SO the program for the
new revenue which was to come
from income. inheritance, gasoline,
corporation, luxury and water
power. taxes has become the main
revenue issue between its oppon-
ents and proponents.
The program was intended to be
measure of relief to the agricul-
tural classes but just what classes
are fighting. it remains to be seen
Z we understand that the candi-
dates for governor are divided on
this program, especially the PR
posed tax on luxuries and it is prob
able that candidates for the legis-
lature in the various counties will
likewise differ.
Ex-Governor John Gary Evans
who is in the race in Spartanburs
county announces these two plaliks
in his platform: THAT the burdens
of taxation should be lifted froIsa
the shoulders Of the producers and
eouitably distributed upon all
classes. And that the minimum OF
taxes should be levied upon the
homes of the people and the maxi
mum upon luxuries."
Watch the campaigns and you
will see this issue gradually ce-
yeioping. 49,

SENATE DEBATES
RATES ON SUGAR
smoot Denies Offering to
Trade on Tariff

r
Washington, Aug. THE block
ing of efforts to obtain immediate
action on the Harrison sugar in
vestigation resolution and an i'm
passioned denial by Senator Smoot
(Republican) of Utah that he had
proposed in a letter to Major Cen
eraI Crowder. American representa-
tive to Cuba, a reduction in the
duty on sugar in return for the
limitation Of this years Cuban SUI
gar crop to 2,500, ,000 tons, marked
senate consideration today OF the
sugar schedule Of the tariff bill.
Senator Harrison twice sought
to call up his resolution but the
first time objection was mace by
Senator Smoot, who then was
waiting to address the senate, and
later by Senator Curtis Of Kansas,
the Republican whip When
Senator Smoot objected, Senator
Nicholson (EepubHcan) of Colo
RADIO moved to- defer action on the
sugar schedule until there had been
an investigation Of what he declar-
ed were Serious charges contain
ed in newspaper clippings read to
the senate Saturday by Senator
Harrison. His motion, however,
was ruled out Of order.
Senator Smoot then proceeded
with a detailed review Of efforts
which had been made, he said, to
save the domestic sugar industry
from destruction by American SUI
gar refners and New York bankers,
who, he added, were faced with
losses with the dropping of sugar
prices.
He asserted that the proposal to
limit the CubanN crop had come
from Cuba and read a published
statement by the president of Cuba,
denying that American government
officials had proposed a reduction
Of the crop in return for lower
tariff duties. The Harrison resoiu-
ton proposes. among other things,
an inquiry into charges that such
proposals had been made.
The Utah senator said his letter
to General Crowder had been writ
ten after Senor Portuondo Of Cuba
and General Crowder had called
on him at his Office here on Janu-
ary "a, last, and Senior Portuondo
had proposed limitation Of the Gu
ban crop and an increase Of 10
per cent. in the tariff differential
in favor Of Cuba. "

Columbia, Aug. S.-Governor
Harvey is closing up a number Of
gates through which prisoners,
convicted and sentenced, have been
escaping punishment, and several
convicted men are destined to begin
serving their just punishment soon.
David Brannum, the Orangeburg
county negro who was convicted Of
criminal assault in 1918 and SEN
fenced to die in the electric chair,
has never died; he's in the peni-
tentiary yet, and he's not worrying.
Governor Harvey is this week be-
ginning an investigation of the
case. The negro was convicted: he
appealed; he had been represented
by an attorney named by the court;
shat attorney became solicitor,
and the solicitor who prosecuted
him went to Congress. In. the
shuttle the case was overlooked.
Governor Harvey states that he
proposes to see something definite
done about the negro's case; that
the negro must die, as sentenced
. by the court, if that is his just due.
Governor Harvey has also un-
earthed other cases when men
have gotten out of serving their
sentences, at least temporarily. In
three cases men have been parol-
ed, because of alleged bad health,
the paroles to extend until the
county physician in each mans
case reports that the man is able
to return to the state prison Or to
the gang and. perform hard labor
for the state. In such cases, it has
been pointed out officially. the
matter Of the. mans return to pris-
on is left with the county physician.
a political office, and there is also
left the loop-hole whereby the
prisoner by failing to report to the
county physician, would allow his
parole to extend Indefinitely, no
provision being made as to who
will call the county physician to
examine the paroled prisoner, or
no provision being inserted as to
when the prisoner shall report to
the physician.
The three cases which Governor
Harvey has investigated along this
Lne are those of Tom Ford. Of
Anderson: Charlie Ferguson, of
Laurens. and man name Winn, of
Saluda. The governor proposes to
keep in behind these cases and see
that the conditions Of the paroles
are carried out. as far as he can
control the. situations.

Cuba Requests Arrest
Two Men Detained by Au-
thorities at Key West .

Key West, Fla, Aug. S.-Twe
men who gave their names as Fred
Smith and James r. Burns, were
arrested at Cape Rebecca light
near here late today by Deputy
United States Marshal Lopez, act
ing at the request Of the Cuban
authorities through the. American
Legation in Havana. The Havana
police requested the detention OF
hte men in connection with their
investigation of the murder near
that city recently of the captain
and engineer of the Cuban motor
boat Mugardos.
According to information from
Rebecca light the men were pick
ed up at sea. from drifting boat
on August 3, by a Spanish fishing
smack commanded by Capt. Miguel
Estebez. Estebez landed them at
the light and they remained there
until their arrest.
The Cuban authorities since the
murder aboard, and theft Of the
Mugardos have been searching for
two men known in Havana as
Duke Stevenson and John Rosen-
baum. Capt. Estebez. whose return
to Havana several days ago with
his report of the rescue Of Smith
and Burns resulted in the formal
request for their detention, said the
boat occupied by the men was
painted in various colors in hap
hazard fashion and that it bore no
name. Certain characteristics in his
description, however. have led the
Havana police to believe the launch
was the Mugardos. Smith and
Burns were brought here tonight
by Lopez aboard the coast guard
cutter Cossack and lodged in the
Monroe County Jail.

LoconoTIvEs AND LAUNDRY

The Staten Island Railroad has
been arrested, on complaint of the
New York City health department,
because it made too much smoke.
The interesting thing about the ac-
ton is that it was based less on
health considerations than on a de-
sire for clean laundry. The house
wives of Port Richmond had
aroused the health department by
complaining that the smoke and
SCOT from the locomotives ruined
their washing.
