Despite the fact that there have
been a good many decisions of the
United States Supreme Court where
he decisions have been made by a
majority Of one Justice. the fact re-
mains that the Supreme Cour, has
maintained a dominant position with
the American people since Chief Jus
tice John Marshall triumphed over
the political forces that attempted to
destroy that Court. 1t is not charged
that there have been any lapses Of
Justice in this great Court due to the
inefiiciency or the legal technique thai;
is involved. People have unlimited
faith in their Supreme Court and the
public is only tolerant OF suggestions
TO reform because reform is in the
mir, and is applied to everything. Even
trial by jury does not always please
everybody.

Schools and Roads

About a billion and quarter dol
lars OF road bonds have been issued
in the past five years. Everywhere
the new civilization is demanding good
roads. 1t is estimated that a million
school children are not properly housed
in school buildings. and 4 great many
bond issues are being loa,ed to
meet the necessity OF educating the
rising generation. later supply. sew
ers, public works and public buildings
OF all kinds are now provided generally
by the bond issues. This is due to
the fact that the .ax-burden has been
pilng up so high that it has become
necessary to resort TO longtime Dor
rowings in order that the taxpayers
may at least keep their shirts when
they come to settle with the tax
collectors.
These bond issues have been re-
gulated under State laws. The com
munities that have sold bonds for their

Taxes and Politics

d%cs d-t1
Evidently the national conventions
OF the old parties have let the dear
people OF this country in for along
debate upon the inequalities and the
evasions OF taxation. The tax ques-
ton has replaced the protective tar
if as the paramount political issue
for the campaign. One will soon be
able to 90 to sleep at the radio listen
ing TO tax talks. The President. in
signing the tax revision bill. made II
plain that the matter was not settled
and he declared il to be his purpose
to move for Improvement OF the law
at the coming session OF Congress.
The Mellon plan was butchered. and
while reduction OF income taxes WAS
incorporated in the bill that was passed
the Republicans claimed that the man
ner and method OF the law that went
through Congress did not meet the
economic and tax situation OF the
country; to which statement the Dem
ocrats retorted that they had made a
law iavoring the small taxpayers as
against the rich. AT the present NOM
ent the opposing parties are denying
one another's claims. and the tax
question will be debated from now
until the cows come home in Novem-
Der. Taxation is a subject that is
ordinarily "as dry as chips but every
taxpayer whose purse has been fat
tened by what he believes to have been
unjust taxation is nevertheless forming
his own views OF the methods that
have been employed to meet tn great
national debt incurred by the war.
Property Tax And Income Tax
Under the rules OF taxation the 4
general property tax was the all-im- /
portant item OF interest. Most OF it
went for the support of the local |
schools and the building OF dirt roads.
The county. state and federal taxes
did not figure heavily in the tax re-
ccipt. But today the Federal income
tax is about half as much as the
general property tax. Ii is claimed
that the corporations of the country
have escaped paying something like
twenty-four billions OF income accum-
ulations during the years 1910 to 1921. c
because such income was held by cor 7
porations as undivided profits. And 4

iy-eight per cent OF all the so-called

This latter revelation is somewhat 4
astounding in view OF the popular inn j.

were being purchased largely by the il

Arriving at Johnson City about 10

Immediately jammed with large

McLEARY MURDERERS WILL
Be ELECTROCUTED FRIDAY

Columbia, S. C.-Mortinier n. King
and Frank Harrel must pay Nth their
lives Friday for the murder of Major
S. H. McLeary of the United States
army.
Final hope of the youthful slayers
of the army officers for executive
clemency failed today, following for
NAL announcement by Gov. Thomas
G. Mcleod that he would not inter-
fere with the sentence of the court.
''The law of South Carolina for
such cases is capital punishment" "
the governor said. "That law l can
not arbitrarily suspend. 1t must be
vindicated and the law expiated."
Major McLeary was robbed and
slain on a lonely road in Chesterfield
county on July after giving King
and Harrel lift in his auto.
