GIVING UP THE FIELD

Running through an editorial article of The
Greenville News, reprinted in The News and Cou-
rier today, is the assumption that federal taxes
are not too high that there is no reason to reduce
them together with the joyous expectation that
revenue will be so much greater next year that
no vast amount of stripping down" is going to be
necessary to get our budget balanced CThe rev.
enues for the last year have fallen hundreds of
millions of dollars below the presidents predic-
tions). The News cheerfully argues that projects
can therefore be continued.
By raising taxes the budget could be balanced
and projects multiplied. The resources of the
Americans have not nearly been exhausted The
property and profits of The Greenville News have
not vet been confScated or even reduced to the
level of a popcorn vendor on the corner of Main
street and McBee avenue There would be no trou-
bic in balancing the budget and engaging in more
and grander projects if the administration set
about raising taxes in deadly earnest. Has any
one in Greenville holy right to enjoy an income
of more than 81, 800 however he may earn $l5,-
900?
The News and Courier holds that taxes are now
outrageously and ruinOuSly high. There Is no JUS
LITIGATION for their present levels. The country u
not at war. Taxes should be stripped down. High
taxation is good Republican doctrine. The News
and Courers notions about taxation are patterned
on Thomas Jeffersons.
One must infer that The Greenvie News thinks
that to wiring seven eight thousand millions OF
dollars a year from the Americans is just about
right-and we have it from high authority (Presl-
dent Roosevel0 that "taxes paid in the sweat
of every man who labors.' ...
As The News and Courier is hopeesSly mcapa-
BILE of sharing in the serenely happy frame of mind
of The Greenville News and has no infatuaton FOX
high taxes or affection for high and multitariou5
government, it leaves the field undisputed IN ITS
possession. The News and Courier is no match Tor
a newspaper of The Greenville News's vision. Inc

THE MEADoWLARk SCORES AGAIN

Kansas las officially adopted the western mead
owlark as the State bird. and is the seventh State
to do So Like the common meadowlark, already
vocal again in own fields 1t Is ABOUT eleven
inches long and has plenty of yellow, crossed by
q black crescent on its throat and breast; but 1t
has more yellow on it's sides, and is still more
brilliant singer. The meadowlarks are cousins o.
the redwnged blackbirds, orioles and grackles, ana
in all the songs of these species there is the same
spiraing sweetness.
PROMPTED to action by the womens CLUBS ana
Audubon societies, the legislatures OF SO states
have made these bird choices. Ohio is one of five
states which have honored the cardinal. Five other
states have chosen the mockingbird, three the rob-
in, three the godfnch two the bluebird, two the
mountain bluebird, two the chickadee, two the bob
white Maryland, of course, has elected the Balti-
more orioIe. Because the gulls COPIED with grass
homer storm that threatened Mormon crops, 'ota'
has even set up a marble bas-relief in their honor
Naturally, Louisiana chose the brown pelican. Inc
flicker, cactus wren, California quail, lark punt
mo rose breasted grosbeak, veery, wood thrush
hermit thrush brown thrasher, purple finch, road
runner, ruffed grouse, Carolina wren, willow golu-
finch and tufted titmouse all have become the Oh
fetal birds of single states =,
There is an element of poetry in this nation-wlae
movement of recognition, and also friendly uIi,
ity. All of these birds are protected by law ana
nobody should shoot any of them; but when com
monwealth honors one of them 1t throws a oouoie
protection about it.-Cincinnati Times-Star.

MORE INFORMATION WANTED

The city of Shelby voted tax for nine
months school term. The Star made lnVeS-
tigation which disclosed that 700 OF the
l44l voters registered for the election are
men and women who do not have children
attending the public schools of Shelby.
II is clear, as a result of the voting, that
this large proportion of Shelby voters hav-
ing no direct interest in public education
for the children of the city, was not actu-
ated by opposition to the nine months
school term. Had they unanimously OPP
posed it they could have defeated the
measure. 1t is evident that all. or nearly
all of this fifty per cent. of the registered
voters favored the school tax levy.
It is somewhat difficult to understand
the conditions existing in Shelby, when we
are informed that nearly one-half OF the
voters registered for an election are not
patrons of the public schools.
Is it possible that Shelby, the number
two political capital of the State, ana
known for other commendable records IS
falling to do its part to maintain North
Cardinals record for having the largest
families of any State in the Union!
Is it possible that nearly one-half OF the
families of Shelby have no children? Or
is the explanation that they have no chill
dren of public school age? Or do they
educate their children in private schools
What is the answer? Can The Star Shed
any light on this problem!
