When the Legislature adjourned

indications were that the session,
would last at least two weeks lon.

ended day or two ago and man.
members, especially Of the house,
are becoming restive under the
prospect of having to stay in Co
lumbia Is days beyond the time
for which they are paid. Nor is
their dissatisfaction without rea-
son. If the worthwhile business
which confronted the session
when it opened early in January
had been attended to as expe-
ditiously as the stress OF the times
demanded, the calendars of both
houses would have been cleared
two weeks ago and both the peo-
pie and the members would have
been the gamers. But there arc
men in the Legislature this year,
as there have been men in perhaps
all the preceding Legislatures,
who like to hear themselves talk
and who waste time in discussing
relatively trivial matters. Not
only is there much talk which
leads to nothing substantial, but
to this may be added the week
end adjournments and the slug!
gish attitude of some of the com
mittees in reporting bills referred
to them as further causes of the
heightened session. The average
member is not responsible for
this condition. He is anxious to
get through with the business of
law-making that he may return
home and attend to the business
of making a living for himself
and his family. Perhaps there
are no schemers in the Legisla.
ture. One prefers to believe that
all the members are bent upon
serving the people in the most pa
triotic way; but it sometimes hap
pens nevertheless that this or
that member looks with favor
upon the prospect of having the
session run into extra days, and
he works to that end, seeing in
1T an opportunity to get by"
with some pet measure which he
knows will be considered by few
members, as is always the case
when the session is on its last
legs. Much money has been un-
wisely expended and many ques-
tionable laws put in the statutes
III recent years as result of
eleventh hour legislation. Only
last year the socalled efficiency
and economy commission was ere
ated on the last day of the ses-
sion. The commission spent about
$l5, ZOO, most of which went TO
"experts' from the North. fetch
ed In TO tell the people of the
State how miserably they had
failed for 140 years to run their
government along scientific lines.
The beneficial results of the work
of the commission, if one may
judge from the attention its rec
concentrations have been accord
ed by the Legislature, are micro
scopic.

The new revenue legislation
which the people were assured IA
few weeks ago by the house
leaders would rcvolutionize
the tax system of South Carolina
has about gone to smash and
there now seems little likelihood
that more than a million dollars

sources to relieve the levy OH real
property. The first of the new
revenue bills to strike a snag
was the proposed tax on gasoline.
The house bill provided for "a tax

product. The senate thought the
amount insufficient and increased
it to 2 cents a gallon, cent TO go
to the counties and the other cent
TO the State. This difference be-
tween the house and senate has
not been smoothed out and one
guess as to what the outcome of
I the deliberations of the commit
tee representing the two bodies
will be is perhaps as good as an
other. The senate killed outright
the proposed tax on power gen
Grated by hydro-electric plants
which it was estimated would
bring in several hundred thous-
and dollars year. The inherit
ance tax measure, should the sen
ate agree to it in its present form,
which seems unlikely. will pro-
duce little revenue this year. Nor
will there be much revenue forth
coming from the corporation IL
cense tax measure or the foreign
corporation license fee bill-not
more, perhaps, than $250,000
from both, an amount that will
not go far toward meeting the an
mal 6 million appropriation. The

DIR. Seligman asserted the Govern

have issued tax exempt bonds. He said
the sooner the Government refunds its
tax exempt bonds into taxable securities.
the better it will be for everyone, adding
that IL tax exemption OF Federal bonds
were abolished, the Government would
receive additional annual revenue of ap-
proximateiy $300, 900.

BUSINESS MUST GIVE
SERVICE, SAYS RAND
international Shoe President
Tells Advertising Men How
to Fight Slack Times.

"One of the serious mistakes OF the
last eighteen months has been the I'M
willingness OF merchants and manufac-
turers to take losses quickly said
Frank C. Rand. president of the Inter-
national Shoe Company OF ST. Louis.
who spoke yesterday on How to Keep
Factories Running in Slack Times" at
- luncheon OF the New York Council Of
The American Association of Advertising
Agencies at the Hotel Pennsylvania.
Losses were inevitable and they became
larger and larger as we remained up In
the air and postponed tho time of
lighting"
Mr. Rand said that his company had
kept it's factories running during the
last year and a half because when the
cost of turning out the finished product
decreased it promptly lowered prices to
its customers. Orders for goods which
totaled s52.000,000 were shipped out
with price reductions of $S,500.000. he
said. Mr.. Rand continued:
''As result Of our policy our business
shows an increase Of 20 per cent. over
its highest previous point. We started
last year by turning out $4,000 pairs of
shoes day. have just had telegram
from our home office saying that we
produced 100000 pairs the other day.
Our output is sold for four or five

must be based upon service to others.
Success in life means more than the ac-
rumulation of dollars; 1t may mean .
home and the love Of children. but. cer-
tainly, 1t means more than financial
gain.
"If firm to-day is unable to sell it's
goods In fair volume 1t Is due to its un-
willingness to sell what is manufactured
FOR fair price. Not a man in America
is smart enough to have anticipated the
wild fluctuations in value that have

High Wool Means
High Hay Market.

In discussing the matter the other
day Nampa farmer said:
There seems to be some prejudice
among farmers against sheepmen
and ! cannot understand why for it
seems TO me our interests are common
The only explanation ] can get is
that they say the sheepmen all want
a high tariff ON wool and that makes
clothing higher. Well. Of course If
wool is higher, clothing will be high
err, but that don't hurt the farmer. 1t
helps him wonderfully. The present
year is a good illustration Of what ]
mean, There Is going to be fully as
much hay in the country as there was
last year, yet year ago hay was
going begging at four dollars per ton
while this year the skeepmen are of
fering 60 contract at seven dollars a
ton and we are hoping TO get eight.
Wool Is bringing from 80 TO 35 cents
per pound by reason of the tariff,
where a year ago it was being sold
for half that. The sheepmen could
not even pay $500 in many cases, but
now they have the money and can af-
ford to pay fair price and are do
ing so. Almost any hay farmer will
have hundred tons of hay to sell
and that means from three to four
dollars more than the same
amount would bring year ago. I'm
Ter such conditions it seems to me
ne should be willing TO pay two or
.hree dollars more for a suit of
'lothes when the cause is exactly the
lame cause that brings him more
money for his hay. Lender Herald.
