NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE MAN WHO PAYS

The rawlings of the politician to the contrary not
withstanding, the masses and not the few wealthy
people, pay the freight far as government ex-
pense, federal, state and municipal analysis 1t IS
the man who works and sweats who pays the taxes.
In this connection The Spartanburg Journal has
the following timely comment: -
President Roosevelt never uttered more force
full truism than when he said four years ago that
"taxes are paid with the sweat of every man who
works" That is why the voters of the nation, and
particularly of South Carolina, should become more
tax conscious. The falacy that the bulk of the in

ordinary intelligence who will study the subject to

people. The legislator, whatever he breaches, is
well aware of that and sees to it that the mass

CONE DRINK TOO MANY"

A firm of distillers is carrying slogan in its
advertising which reads thusly: "We Who Make
Whskey Suggest: Say No When It's One Drink
Too Many" And to that slogan it adds this OBJ
servation: "a thoughtess minority must not be al
lowed to endanger the liberty and enjoyment OF
countless thousands who use whiskey as 1t should
be consumed-in moderation
Sounds all right up to the point where it Is put
into practice Who could want a funnler picture
than that of man arguing with himself that ne
had reached the point where the next drink would
be zone too many?" You can tell in advance what
the result of the argument would be.
These dstillers in counselling moderation" are
not proposing any new remedy. 1t is as old as the
ages, and it's age is it's condemnation. No drlnker

In fact it is frequently the case that some friend
has to tell him next morning that he was pitficated

Continuing fire on Democratic

self exclusively to the campaign.
Republican Chairman John
Hamilton, meanwhile, has been
suffering from a slight backwash
of the wave of personal glory on
which he rode away from his
party's national convention.
He undertook to do the talking
for the party pending Landon's
acceptance speech, and recent edi-
torial quips indicate that his
speeches have worn a bit thin and
begin to sound somewhat Hoo
verish.
AS for Congressman Lemke's
IA campaign, certain of the third
party candidates friends are COM
planning that practically nothing
has been done about it since
Lemke announced, especially in
the way of organization.
They complain because Con.
gresham Usher Burdick, named
as national chairman of the Union
Party, has been quoted success
siveIy as saying that Lemke
couldn't be elected, that if he
were elected he would be "jusi
like the rest" within two weeks,
and that he, Burdick, would sup
port the Republican ticket il
North Dakota.
Subsequently, Burdick was re.
ported to have said that Lemke
had a good chance to be president
because he would cause the cleo
ton to he thrown into the House
where he might be able to exert
control. .
But there seems to be some dis
satisfaction with Mr.. Burdick ano
a disposition among some Lemke
followers to wonder whether his
campaign is going anywhere.

"UNREASONABLY LARGE"

DIR. Ralph Mcdonald charges that the
vote cast in number of counties in the prl-
maries was "unreasonably large" Hender-
son county is one of the counties named by
DIR. Mcdonald in this connection.
Passing over the fact that all of the coun-
ties named by the Doctor gave Clyde
Hoey majorities in the second primary, The
Times-News calls the Doctors attention to
the fact that in the general election in 1884
the Democratic vote in Henderson county
was from. 1000 to 1900 larger than the
vote polled in the late primaries.
Several Democratic candidates received
more than 5000 votes in the 1884 general
election. Only $500 votes were polled in
the primaries.
1t is clear, therefore, that if the primary
elections in this county are open to any
charges of fraudulent proceedings, it can
not be based on the size of the vote cast,
The ''unreasonably large charge against
Henderson county will not stand up,

WASHINGTON. One of the

closely guarded secrets for many
months has been the fact that it

Eesults of the experiments have
been sufficiently encouraging
however, to take away some OF

publicity ballyhoo about it yet,
but Administrator ReXford G,
Tugwell has gone down to look at
seven earthen houses built on a
subsistence homestead prof e C

THE houses contain five rooms,

foundations. The, exterior and IN

provide the coolest type of houS-

The material thus far used has
been dug from the immediate
premises and the idea is that To-
cal craftsmen can easily learn to
construct such buildings.
Officials aren't even guessing at
the probable cost yet. The first
five to be finished will cost be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000 apiece.
But that covers heavy costs OF

technique is perfected, rammed

here by David Williams, president Of
the National Council Of Aluminium

for this situation rests with the state

its failure to uphold American price
valuations, and that thousands Of

the dumping continues
Mr. Williams said the deeimed val

was 50.2 cents per pound with ship
ments aggregating 38,830 poWads. II
