GENERAL ASSEMBLY A1XIOURNS
Appropri?t ions Total $0,0.14,024.87.
Li. ttl o "?V?rie Accomplished.
Columbia, March 6.-Tho "Defla
tion Legislature" adjourned this
morning at 8.30 o'clock. As soon as
the appropriation bill went to free
conference tho end of tho session
was in sight. It took long and weary
hours of effort for Chairman Chris
tensen and Mr. Hughes and their
conferees to untangle the differ
ences, but they did so, and the act
was ratified carrying appropriations
aggregating $6,534,925.87.
The increase over the act of 1920
is something less'than $500,000, and.
all of this aggregate fa less than the
additional amount added to the sup-,
,port of. the common schools of, the
State.-' Some', other item?y.Shpw tn
ithtere^
Tho presnt 12 mills
duced py tho Comptroller General if
advisable. No State levy for road
work is included or imposed this
year. The individual counties may
collect this road tax if they s? de
sire on petition of the delegation.
When the Senate continued until
next session the bill proposing a tax
on gasoline and kerosene the fate of
all the suggested aditional revenue
bills was sealed. All four of the
bills intended to raise r?venues from
new sources, other than the property
tax, were continued until next ses
sion, as wero many othor important
measures that had been suggested.
Tho 'State-wide stock law act is
perhaps the most generally Import
ant act passed at this session unless
lt be the provisions for women vot
ing in the primaries, the increase of
tho age of consent and the California
marketing 't"tute giving the ma
chinery for such co-operative efforts.
Tho adjournment was in the host
of humor and good feeling. Lieut.
Gov. Wilson G. Harvey made an ex
cellent presiding officer and showed
surprising grasp of the probloms of
a presiding officer.
Hundreds of bills that wore not
acted upon go over until the second
session of tho present General As
sembly.
