More Tax Payers Needed.

In tn discussion of prevailing
high taxes much that is said is mis-
leading and falls short of the truth.
The great need in South Carolina in
this exigency is not less taxes or less
revenue but more tax payers. South
Carolina ranks among the lowest in
the per capita cost of government.
Therefore, a decrease in revenue
would inevitably result in lowering
of standards and a lowering of eff
cheney. The great need now is a prop
er distribution of the tax burden,
making it fall alike an all classes OF
individuals and all lines of business.
When this is fully accomplished suf-
ficient funds will be raised without
hardships upon anyone. Heretofore,
the owners of tangible or visible prop
erty have been taxed too heavily,
while other citizens whose income
was probably tenfold greater have
felt but lightly the tax burden.
This tax question presents field
ripe unto the harvest for dema-
gogues. But do not allow yourself
to fall an easy victim to their specious
argument. Rather instead do some
thinking for yourself.

Delay in Work on Conduit
Would Be Serious Menace

poning work on the new conduit for
q year.
Continuing his explanation Of the
new project. Maj. Tyler said:
"On the land belonging to the gov
ernment at the District line between
the Conduit road and the river Will
be constructed a rapid sand mira
| ton plant of the type serving Balu-
more, Cincinnati, st. Louis, New Or
leans and many other cities.
Water from the Dalecarlia or re-
ceiving reservoir will flow to this
plant by gravity and after passing
through the filters will go into a
covered clearwater basin. From the
clearwater basin water will be pump
ed through force main to new dis
, the bureau Of standards for the sup
ply of the second high service.
This reservoir will supplant the
existing Brightwood reservoir on
18th street and will be at a higher
level. giving about forty feet greater
head on the. second high service,
which is greatly needed.
Water will be pumped through a
force main from the new filtration
plant to Reno reservoir for the sup
ply of the third and fourth high serv-
ices. Water will also be supplied to
the first high service through a force
main to new distribution reservoir
on high ground near the Georgetown
reservoir. This will increase pres
sure in the first high service.
1T will be noted that all the serv-
ices now supplied by pumping from
the pumping station at lst and Chan
ming streets northwest will be sup
piled after completion of the new
work from the pumping station at
the new filtration plant at the Dis
trict line. 1t will be noted further
that pumping will be over shorter.
more direct lines to points of distri-
button.
"The result will be to take of the
old filtration plant at Mcmillan Park
52.6 per cent of its present duty. leav-
ing it to supply the low level or grav-
lty area of the city and Anacostia
which at the present time is Al per
cent Of the consumption
"The load on the old plant will thus
be reduced to a figure which will per-
nit thorough repair 6f the conduit
town reservoir and the tunnel under
the city.
"The new plant is designed ulti-
mately to filter an average Of seventy
million gallons per day, with space
for further enlargement Il necessary.
Of all the high levels to which water
must be pumped for a period Of from
fifty to sixty years. The capacity of
the old plant is such that it can sup
ply the gravity area and Anacostia
for like period.
There is nothing new or untried in
any of the work proposed. The new
conduit is relatively simple piece Of
construction along line already
largely graded. The new filtration
plant is in accordance with the best
current practice.
Its cost is estimated at $9,523.0 900,
! which is modest sum for city of
this magnitude when compared with
| what many other cities have paid for
an adequate supply of good water"
Maj Tyler further explained that
when the new system is completed
| higher pressure will be furnished to
the first and second high service
areas, where low pressure now causes
Inconvenience to some. A part of the
| gravity area where high buildings
are located may be placed on the
first high service. thus increasing
pressure in those buildings.

Time and the Congress Card.

Time flies. There is no disputins
that venerable proposition.
AS the latest evidence of how rapid
ly it flies, let us. consider that almost
two months Of the present session of
Congress have gone by. We are in
hailing distance Of February 1, and
when that day arrives we shall be in
hailing distance Of spring.
And yet business on Capitol Hill re-
mains backward. Some Of the most
important measures have not yet
taken shape. Others, partially shaped,
are hanging fire in committee. The
general condition Of things causes
anxiety and uncertainty.
There is abundance Of legitimate de-
bate even in the routine. Impatient as
the country is for legislation with a
bearing on relief for the business
world, the agricultural world, and the
labor world. the fact is appreciated
that measures to be really helpful
must be discussed and passed in the
light of information. Crossings and
jumpings to conclusions are not for
the best.
But late as 1t is and crowded as the
card is, Congress can get away in good
season for the coming campaign if it
buckles to its task. It has repeatedly
shown that under pressure it can
transact a good deal Of business in a
short time.
The members Of the present Con-
gress who aspire to reelection are
naturally desirous Of getting into ac-
ton at home early. But they would
not advance their interests If they
appeared on the scene after too
hurried exit here.
