LABOR, CHILD WELFARE

We favor collective bargaining and laws
regulating hours of labor and conditions
under which labor is performed. We favor
the enactment of legislation providing
that the products of convict labor shipped
from one state to another shall be subject
to the laws of the latter state exactly as
though they had been produced therein.
In order tn mitigate unemployment at
tending business depression, we urge the
enactment of legislation authorizing the
construction and repair of public works
be initiated in periods Of acute unemploy-
ment
Without the votes of Democratic
members Of the congress the child la
Dor amendment would not have been

REFERS TO MELLON PLAN

The issue between the President and
the Democratic party is not one of tax
reduction or of the conservation of cap
ital. It Is an issue Of relative burden
Of taxation and of the distribution of
capital as affected by the taxation of
income. The President still stands on
the so-calIed Mellon plan, which his
party has just refused to indorse or
mention in its platform.
The income tax was intended as
tax upon wealth. 1t was not intended
to take from the poor any part of the
necessities of life. We hold that the
fairest tax with which to raise revenue
for the federal government is the in
come tax.
We favor a graduated tax upon in
comes, so adjusted as TO lay the bur-
dens of government on the taxpayers
in proportion to the benefits they enjoy
and their ability to pay. We oppose
the so-called nuisance taxes, sales
taxes and all other forms of taxation
that unfairly shift to the consumer the
burdens of taxation.
We refer to the Democratic revenue
measure passed by the last congress
as distinguished from the Mellon tax
plan as an Illustration of the policy
of the Democratic party
We first made a fiat reduction of Is
per cent upon the tax of al incomes
payable this year and then we so
Changed the proposed Mellon plan as
to eliminate taxes upon the poor, re-
ducing them upon moderate incomes
and, in a lesser degree, upon the in
comes of multimillionaires. We hold
that all taxes are unnecessarily high,
and pledge ourselves to further reduc-
tions.
We denounce the Mellon plan as
device to relieve multimillionaires at
the expense of other taxpayers and We
accept the issue of taxation rendered
by President Coolidge.

FRAUD IN STOCKS

We favor the immediate passage of such
legislation as may be necessary to enable
the states efficiently to enforce their laws
relating to the gradual financial stran-
Cling of innocent investors. workers and
consumers, caused by the indiscriminate
promotion, ref1nancing and recognizing
of corporations on an inflated and over
capitalized basis resulting already in the
undermining and collapse of many rail-
roads, public service and industrial cor
porations, manifesting itself in unemploy-
ment, irreparable loss and waste, and
which constitute serious menace to the
stability of our economic system.

POLICY ON EDUCATION

We believe with Thomas Jefferson
and founders of the republic that ig
norance is the enemy of freedom and
that each state, being responsible for
the intellectual and moral qualifications
of its citizens and for the expenditure
of the moneys collected by taxation for
the support of its schools, shall use Its
sovereign right in all matters pertain
ing to education. The federal govern
ment should offer to the states such
counsel, advice and aid as may be
made available through the federal
agencies for the general Improvement
of our schools in view of our national
needs.

selves vigorously to take against it all
legitimate and proper measures for edu-
cation, for control, and for the suppress

STATE RIGHTS

We demand that the states of the union
shah be preserved In all their vigor and
power. They constitute bulwark against
the centralizing and destructive tenden-

We oppose the extension OF bureaucracy
the creation of unnecessary bureaus and

of offices and Office holders.

The Creamery

The Americas Creamery is
making splendid Roadway. Its
success seems already assured,
and for that we are deeply
gratified.
The creamery is child of
the Times-Recorder. More
than three years ago this paper
began discussing the question of
a creamery. Under the able
editorship Of w. S. Kirkpatrick,
then associated with the Times
Recorder, a great deal of in
vestigation work was undertak
en-. Mr.. Kirkpatrick went
thoroughly into the subject be-
fore advising the farmers of
Sumter county that a creamery
was good thing for the county.
Month in and month out we
have endeavored to keep the
subject before our readers. At
last, success has met these ef-
forts. Cream is coming in; but
ter is being made, and the in
crease will be steady, but grad
ual.
This week-the second of its
operation - more than three
times as many farmers brought
in cream as in the first week; the
cream supply has doubled, and
the butter output has about
doubled; a market has been
found for the butter and the but
termilk, a by-product.
This institution is a splendid
asset to farmer and merchant
and the community is indebted
to Messrs. |. E. Wilson and c.
NJ. Council who have financed
and put over the Americas
creamery.

or has choice; anarchy re,

Many observers see Mussolini
sitting on a volcano. The vol
cano is the lawless body which,
while it did save Italy for the
moment, is the antithesis Of civ
ilized methods of government.
1t is known as faseism and its
foundation is force.
The volcano has given its
warning. The sombre rumble
came forth with the disappear
ancc, and probable assassination
of the wealthy sociaGstic Depu-
ty Matteotti, on the eve of his
expected exposure of corruption
in the fascist ministry.
The Matteotti case has had
ltalys nerves on edge for sew
eral weeks.
Mussolini has expressed his
indignation at the deed, but his
expressions were unconvincing
in view of previous statements
such as this, made about a year
ago:
"There is nothing to discuss on
the subject of internal policy.
That which happens, happens by
my precise and direct will. and
by my explicit orders, for which
| naturally assume the full and
personal responsibility. And
those who attempt to defame
fascism abroad or undermine it
al home, should know that their
deeds imply the severest risks.
The enemies of the fascist state
need not be surprised if treat
them sterniy as such"
Mussolini cannot leave his
throne atop the slumbering vol
cano. He must wait to be blown
off. He is bound up with fas-
cism. He cannot govern without
the fascist and their methods.
He cannot disband the irregular
fascist militia which up to the
present have been his personal
army, without any formally-ex-
pressed allegiance to the crown.
The militia won't let him.
