Mcleod on Taxes.
rfDillon Heraldl.

(Dillon Herald).
In his campaign for governor Mr.
Mcleod has adopted a unique but
effective method of enlightening the
people on the tax situation. He
takes up the supply bill for each
county in which he speaks and
shows the people item by item how
their tax money is spent. BY this
method he is proving that the tax
problem is local problem which
each county must solve for itself.
The state levy is only a small part
of the general levy and the bulk
of the tax money goes to schools.
roads and bridges within the coun-
ty. The supply bill for each coun-
ty is made up by the county dele
CATION and is enacted into law up
on the recommendation of such
delegation. For example: The
supply bill for Dillon county. car
rying a certain levy for all pur-
poses, passes the general assembly
in the form in which it is present
ed by Dillon's delegation. The 9TH
er members of the general assem-
bly, do not care whether the levy is
large or small 1t is purely a local
matter and they have no interest
in the bill. If taxes in a certain
county are too high relief must
come through the county delega-
ton. When the people get these
facts into their heads they will be-
gin to have an understanding OF
the tax problem.

Governor Asks
For Stricter Law
Enforcement

Columbia. July ia program
of stricter law enforcement was
outlined by Governor Wilson G..
Harvey. in statement issued to
the press Monday in which the
chief executive tells of several steps
he is contemplating, looking to a
more rigid observance of the laws
of the state.
One of the steps the governor is
considering is change in the sys-
tenn of employing state constab bles.
Instead of having state constables
assigned permanently to certain
places in the state. the governor
proposes to use the men as ''f1oat-
ing officers. sending them wher-
ever in the state they are most
needed.
The governor is also hot in be-
hind the magistrates of the state
for their cooperation in law en-
forcement. The executive stated
today that if he finds magistrates
that are not cooperating fully in
enforcing the laws. he will take
whatever action is available. even
TO the point of revoking commits
Sions, if necessary.
