SATURDAY, NovrNes,

tho county officers expense for
the wear 1884 of s67,265.O2 is an
enormous amount Of money! to
take from the taxpayers of this
county in depression times like we
have been passing through !! not
only under the Hoover Admins
tration but under the New Deal
administration, in spite of the fact
that the present administration is
running the government into debt
continually by the billions of dol
lars in an effort to bring out of
the depression, incidentally also
to give a lot of fine, fat jobs to
pay for political promises.
We are surprised that Mr.. Red
den as chairman would publish Il
statement of this kind in the paper
in which he endeavors to show the
marvellous management under a
democratic administration in 1884
over a Republican administration
in the year 1880 and we note, ac-
according to these figures, that
the Republican Administration in
1880 cost us taxpayers the sum of
$40, 900 while the expense this
year under the Democrats is S67.-
600 or a savings Of $4,000.
During the year 1880 the world
wide depression was only starting
and times were a paradise at that
time compared to these times un-
der the New Deal, or after the
depression has run 50 long. it is
my impression that this compare
tive statement only serves to show
that your administration Mr.. Red
den, in power at this time, is
grossly eXtragavant. 1t seems to
me, as a taxpayer, that there are
some very large leaks somewhere
that ought to be plugged up and

county it was necessary to collect as much
as S15O,OOO in county taxes, to maintain
the schools.
This newspaper fails to see how the peo-
pie of Henderson county are burdened or
injured by the sales tax in a financial way.
One may object to the principle of the
sales tax, but it is clear that it has relieved
the tax payers of Henderson county from
the payment of forty to fifty thousand dol
lars in direct taxes. -. 80. il. .
Another advantage which this county
eniovs under the sales tax is derived from
the fact that large part of the sales made
in this county are made to outsiders; they
are made to summer residents and visi-
tors. who come from outside the county or
State and spend here money which was
made elsewhere.
When the sales tax is considered as a
financial matter, Henderson county people
have no good reasons for condemning It.
In fact, all our people should be out boost
ing for it, in view of the certainty that the
actual cost of the sales tax to residents OF
the couny is probably not more than a
fourth of the $4,000 they formerly paid
in direct taxes to support the schools.

"If you go to the penitentiary,"
said a banker whose institution
had gone down with millions and

that he should have protected in
stead of plundering, "there will be

But when the banker was tried,
he did not utter a peep about those
who should go with him. He went
to the penitentiary alone without
duplicating even one of his part
ners in crime. Evidently he pre-
ferreG to leave the $50 outside
the penitentiary in position of
political professional and finan-
cial Importance that they might
unite their power to get him out.
One reason you see some persons
whom you would naturally expect
to be doing something better,
working their heads and feet off
trying to get some criminal par
doned or paroled is that they are
afraid that if they do not, he will
squeal on them.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
CAN RECEIVERS OF PUBLIC RELIEF VOTE

In twelve states there is said to be definite
movement for excluding from the polls next week
all persons receiving public relief The basis of
the movement is, of course, the common clause IN
suffrage laws denying the vote to paupers.
The question is not of practical Importance as
a voting question in South Carolina; for voting in
the general election does not play much part here
in practical politics But it is of Importance as
helping man to define his position.
The Constitution of South Carolina denies the
suffrage to persons who idiots, insane, paul
pers supported at the public expense, and persons
confined in any public prison"
All may share President Roosevelts Indignation
at chasing paupers the millions of honest, we'll
intentioned citizens who, for the present have
been recipients of government relief The circum-
stances are such have never before existed in
this country. The great majority of those unfor-
tunate persons not paupers either in spirit or
in reality; they persons who have been knocked
off their feet by stupendous economic earthquake.
But that is not the whole story; for the story
must have sequel The continued receipt of gov
eminent relief does make pauper, both in
spirit and in law. To considerable fraction of
mankind it is easy to slip into the condition of
dependence The fine spirit of independence that

The existing scale of public relief must before
very long be extremely curbed or American in
dpstry and government will both pass over into
bankruptcy. Somebody is supplying the billions
that are being given away, or are being spent for
work which is virtually devised to keep men busy
without any reasonable prospect of the works be-
ing self-supportng. There is limit to the bur-
dens that the portion of the country still able TO
pay taxes can endure. And there is limit to the

Spartanburg Herald reports that real es-
tate transfers in that county amounted to
around 100000 during the month of Oc-
tober. The Herald says that increasing in
terest in the purchase of farm lands is evil
denced and that the property which
changed hands was at prices that ought to
show future profit for the purchasers. The
Herald directs attention to the present low
prices of real estate, with the advice that
now is the time to buy. The advice may
be commonplace, but it is the best advice
at this time. In few years prices of city
and country real estate in the Carolinas
will be much higher than at present. This
statement is applicable to Hendersonville

AN IMPORTANT ELECTION IN
HENDERSON COUNTY e.

This newspaper urges all qualified cltl-
zens of the county to exercise their priv
lege as voters and to discharge their duty
as good citizens on next Tuesday. Every
good citizen should vote without passion
or prejudice for the candidates honestly
believed to be the best men to fill the Of
fees.
County officials who are offering for re-
election have records in office and these
should be impartially considered and
weighed. Street corner gossip, idle ru-
mOrs and campaign falsehoods should not
be allowed to influence a single voter
The evidence of county management for
the past four years is on the records AMI
in every office at the court house. That
evidence should be the measure of the
voters determination of the worthiness Of
the officials who are offering for re-elec-
ton. If these officials have been faithful
and efficient they should receive the en-
dorsement of the majority of the voters.
The Times-News does not believe that
good government is secured or the welfare
of the people is promoted by frequent
changes in offices; therefore, we reject the
alleged argument that public offices are so
many plumS to be distributed every two Or
four years to a different set of office-hold-
erS.
As to the candidates who have not here
tOfore held office in the county, The Times
News has no derogatory words. As far IS
this newspaper is informed, all of them,
in both parties, are good citizens; and, as
far as we know, they possess the qualifca-
tons for filling the offices These are mat
tiers for the voters to decide; and this news
paper urges every voter to do his or her
duty by voting next Tuesday, in the light
of reason and unprecedented consideration
of the claims of all candidates and the
best interests of the county. Don't be con-
trolled in your voting by anything except
consideration of the welfare of the county.
All good citizens want efficient county
government-and that is all they want.
Good citizens are not influenced by the
selfish or unworthy motives which influ-
ence many persons in casting their ballots.
Here is hoping that a majority of the
citizens of Henderson county will fully
demonstrate on next Tuesday that they are
willing to put aside party and all other
preJudices and unworthy motives and vote
with the sole intention of promoting the
best interests of their county.

W7ASHINGTON-It's always {
w guess in our town whether the
Mississippi politicians for whom
Senator Pat Harrison wangles soft
federal jobs outside the state are
beneficiaries of Pats friendship OF
of his desire to get them away
where they won't make trouble.
Pat is credited with the ability
to grab enough patronage to take
care of both his friends and his
enemies. He's almost as effective
at job-getting as at making a
speech over a Confederate SOL
dier's grave.
OF course it would be a lot bet
ter from Pats point of view if the
politicians he deports from Mis-
sissippi into the ranks of the New
Deal would only stay put. But
Mississippi politicians don't seem
to be like that. They're a restless
lot.
Take Bilbo. tYou won't? Well,
Washington is going to take him
again soon. It's helpless.l
R1LBO was one of the most in.

Mr.. w. C. Jordan,
Hendersonville, n. G.


Hendersonville, n. G..
Dear SIR
| have just read your letter to
The Times-News, criticising the
Democratic party, and Mr.. Mon
roe NJ. Redden, Democrat chair
man.
Mr. Jordan, | can't see why any
man, or woman in Henderson
county wouldn't be satisfied with
the present administration, especi-
ally our county commissioners
You must remember they took
over the county when there was
not penny they could use to
even pay our school teachers,
bonds on top of bonds were to
pay. The banks closed, got all
your money, mine, and all the
county's money. Your taxes. my
taxes. were so high we couldn't
pay them, / heard you make this
statement on the street of there
isn't something done to lower tax
es in this county, / will just have
to turn my property over to 'em, |
can't pay it."
Now they have lowered the tax
es so you and I and every other
person can pay their taxes if they
want to, and still you are kicking.
What's wrong with you, Mr..
Jordan?
You say it takes five people to
work in the tax.collector's office.
Did you ever go into the office
while the Republicans were in
power in this county? did you no.
tice how many people were work
ing in the different offices? Sup
pose it does take five to work in
this office these five do the
work for less money than when
the Republicans had it, and don't
charge the 10 per cent for collect
inc back taxes.
You say Mr.. Morris Orr will low
er the sheriff's expenditures as
much as is humanity possible, prob
ably he would, but what do you or
l know what Mr.. Orr will consider
humanity possible. He might de-
eide the salary Sheriff Garren is
getting and the expense of run
ming the jail is not enough to
meet his humanity needs-then
what?
] say, Mr.. Jordan, the best
thing you and every man and wo-
man in this county can do is go
to the polls November 9Th and
vote for the man that has p~Jven
re can and has run the Sheriff's
department on less money than
when the Republicans were in
power.
Our taxes are lower, and our
county is in good shape. Let's
keep it that way by sticking to
the men and the party that has
proven they can and have helped
US. .-
You spoke of the Bible, saying
give unto Caesar what is Caesars.
l say, give unto the Democratic
party what is rightfully theirs,
and let the Devil take the hind
most.
