TO ENLARGE HOSPITALS
Many Additional Beds to be Provided
for Disabled Veterans.

The United States veterans bureau,
early in 1922, will have available g.
$50 additional beds for tubercular, and
2.75O additional beds for euro-psy-
chiatric cX-service men who are now
being "hosptalizcd," writes Theodore
Tiller in the Atlanta Journal. This IS
announced by Col. b. c. Forbes, direc-
tor of the bureau.
Georgia institutions now housing
rx-service men under government care
will receive number of the additional
beds for the neuro- -psychiatric pa
tients.
Colonel Forbes says there are now
available 1870 government beds for
tubercular patients, and 5,24O beds for
neurO- -psychiatric patients. Additional
facilities for the former class are to

FARMER IN BAD WAY
Must Be Paid for Production II He is
to Feed World Says Lowden.

If the farmer is to continue to feed
mankind, he must be paid for his
services and we must provide ware,
houses for the surpluses in bountiful
years, Frank o. Lowden, former gov
ernor of Illinois, told the Nebraska
Dairymen's association in convention
in Omaha, Neb., last week.
"The farmer believes in the value
of what he produces and knows that
it is indispensable to the world If civil
lization is to go on" he said. when
he sees that the total value of an un-
usually large crop is less in the mar
kets of the world than the value of a
small crop he knows that something
is wrong in our methods of distribu-
ton. He does not need TO be fami-
liar with higher mathematics to feel
sure that twelve million bales of cot
ton ought to be worth more than six
million bales; for each of the twelve
million bales will be genuinely service
able sooner or later in clothing the
world.
"He has seen much improved finan-
cial conditions come to one great sec
ton of the country because of an alb
normally short crop Of that staple.
He can't persuade himself that the boil
wcevil is a benefcient agent of man
kind, and yet he is compelled to admit
that the cotton states are indebted to
that little insect for their improved
! financial condition.
1--WE know that no commodity Will
be long produced below the cost oi
production, and therefore it ought
never be necessary to market any
farm commodity below such cost; fol
if that commodity can be stored and
held the world will have to pay the
cost some day.
"These problems have been met ano
solved in n large measure, in Holland
and Denmark and among the frul'
growers of California, by the organl-
zation of farmers cooperative So
cieties. These societies do not at
tempt to arbitrarily fix prices. The!
do study the probable demand and at
1 tempt to adjust production to NEE
that demand"

erans' bureau II navy hospitals, nine
hospitals connected with the National
Homes for Volunteer Disabled Sol
diers,. and six army hospitals have
been made available for the case of
the men disabled in the World war.
There are, in addition 81 public health
service hospitals being utilized.
Notwithstanding the magnitude of
these disqualification facilities, there
are still 5000 patients in contract
hospitals, according to the report. OF
these, 5000 are tubercular patients,
1900 neuro- -psychiatric patients, and
1000 general surgical and medical
cases.
Colonel Forbes reports that the fol-
lowing steps have been taken to i'm
prove the contract system Of hospital
ization:
/. Very high standards have been
outlined by the bureau, and unless the
contract hospitals can live UP to these
requirements, the patients are re-
moved from them. IS" n#
.. An inspection section has been
formed in the bureau, and regular in
spections are made of every hospital
at stated intervals Every complaint
is thoroughly investigated.
8. Contracts have been Cancelled
with. great many private hospitals
ard patients removed from them.
He also reports that the central of
fee of the, bureau has received no in
formation indicating that any men
have refused to accept disqualification
on account of unsatisfactory condi-
tions.
In touching on the point of disei-
pline, Colonel Forbes said that rules
are in effect in every hospital and
training center, intending to preserve
the best order and morale, but ne de-
MED that there is anything approach
ing the commonly accepted meaning
of army discipline" Disciplinary
regulations are provided in the law
creating the veterans bureau. These
regulations have to do with three
classes of patients: Those leaving the
hospital against medical advice, those
leaving the hospital of their own ac-
cord without going through the for
mality of notifying their doctor that
they are going; those who, by their
vicious habits. deter their own treat
ment, and by these vicious habits him
der the proper treatment of their COM
rades.
In the first two classes of patients
the penalty provides that they shall
pay their own transportation expenses
to reach hospital if they are again
admitted to hospital for treatment by
the bureau In the third class OF pa
tients, after the second offense, the
patients may be fined an amount of IS
per cent. of his compensation for three
months

Mans lnhumanity.-one of the way

Mans lnhumanity.-One of the ways
in which decent newspapers do good is
illustrated by story in the New York
Times. The story Is not of very great
Importance to statesmen or to politi-
clans or to big business, but The
Times, nevertheless, puts a big head
line over it, and devotes to it nearly
column of space. It is a story about
fox and it is a story Of human cruelty
which, if the facts are as represented,
will make the blood boil. Evidently
The Timess reason for giving 1t so
much prominence was desire to eX-
pose as thoroughly as possible the
cruelty of the whole proceeding to the
end that nothing of the sort should be
permitted to happen again.
| This fox, according to The Times
story, was released in Fifth Avenue for
advertising purposes by the manager
of a fur company. The latter, it IS
said, had his employees call up all news
paper offices and picture agencies and
notify them that "a live fox would es-
cape from a box of foxes near the PUB
lie Library about l o'clock" Two men,
saws The Times, carried the fox 10
Fifth Avenue. After the forces oil
publicity had been marshalled for the
sight. the animal was released directly
in front of the Public Library. 1t ran
to a corner near the library steps ana
hid there. Bent on more publicity the
two men poked the animal out of its
refuge with sticks and headed it to-
wards the maze Of vehiclular traffic on
Forty-seconC Street. The fox circled
and tried to hide near one of the lions
in front of The library
In this way the chase continued, the
terrified animal trying in vain to hide
from it's prosecutors, and, when at last
il was captured, it was released agam
in order hat it might afford more
sport" for the spectators and more
publicity for its owners. At length the
fox ran under limousine at Thirty-
ninth Street and the wheel crushed It's
right fore .eg. 1t continued gamely It's
efforts to escape, but one of its owners
picked it up and hurried away with IT,
Witnesses say, according to The Times
that the fox's mouth had been bound
so tightly with twine that the eyes
bulged."
One derives some pleasure from
learning that the New York Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to AMI
rnals: promptly obtained a John Doe
summons for the manager Of the fur
company. Two newspaper reporters
helped to identify him and the charge
against him is brought under a section
Of the penal code which provides
maximum punishment of one year III
prison or $500 fine. If the facts are as
stated in The Timcs's story, THIS
punishment is lamentably inadequate

gested. Moreover, it has met with no
little popular favor, and its popularity
as program for tax revision, is grow
| ing rapidly throughout the state. Res
olution; adopted at the recent tax
conference, held in Columbia and at
tended by citizens from practically ev-
cry county were based upon the prin-
ciples set forth in the Marion report,
which, in substance, are (1) a complete
redistribution OF the tax burden; CD
the relief of visible property to be er-
! fected by the substitution OF an income
and inheritance tax, an occupation tax,
an increase in the corporation license
| tax, gasoline tax a soda water tax,
and, among other things, theatre tax
| 1t may be argued that the Individual
taxpayer cares little what method is
employed to reduce his taxes so long as
they are reduced, but this would be
poor logic. The individual taxpayer is
concerned about his taxes, but he is
likewise a, good citizen and, as good
citizen, is concerned with the welfare
of the state and its people. There may
be taxpayers VINO would be willing to
find individual relief at the expense OF
necessary state institutions and the
common schools which provide the one
means for the education of the states
children, but the average taxpayer
would not be willing that the states
wards and posterity should suffer that
he may find temporary relief. And, as
previously pointed out, the measure OF
relief to be obtained through merely
the slashing of appropriations for the
schools, colleges and state institutions
would bring so small measure Of re-
lief that it would not be felt sufficient
" to make much difference in dollars
and cents when the taxpayer goes to
pay his taxes.
Tapping Of new sources of revenue.
can be made to produce several mil
lions of dollars oflstate revenue, and to
such an amount as is raised from new
sources to such an equal amount can
visible property; be relieved. Serious
thought is being given the matter of
taxation throughout South Carolina at
the present time, not only by state Of
ficials and members of the general as
sembly, but by the citizenry at large.
1t no longer suffces to complain about
high taxes The time has come when.
something must be done. And 1t is be-.
ing generally realized that facing this
necessity, a constructive tax revision
program should be followed.
At the 1921 session the legislature
adopted the makeshift measure of ex-
tending the time for the payment OF
taxes While this was done in response
to a demand throughout the state for
relief and was Intended as measure
of relief, the mistake long ago became
apparent. Few II any taxpayers who.
could not pay their taxes by March 10
were able to pay them by May 10.
Nothing intervened in the meantime to-
improve economic conditions. 1t
amounted to prolohging the misery and
increasing the work Of the county Of
ficials charged with the collections OF
taxes The tax machinery of the state
became clogged and -cluttered as the
natural result 1t was bad precedent
to set. But having set the precedent
the same demand will be made again
and the time for the collections of taxes
will be again extended.
