Excerpt from A Paper Read at a Recent Meeting of the Kosmos Club of Columbia, S. C

Every other week thirty-five members of the Kosmos Club, of Columbia, S. C. meet at the home of some member. In turn the members prepare and present a "paper" on some interesting topic. My choice of a topic was "Taxation in South Carolina." The reading of the paper is followed by a general discussion. This plan necessarily involves a time limit for the presentation of "the paper of the evening." This explanation is made to indicate that this does not pretend to be a full and complete presentation of the tax problem. At best it would only be an effort to point out the more important phases of the question.

The request has been made that the paper be printed and it is offered as it was read before the Kosmos Club.
