TAX COMMISSION SLIGHTKI). Important Act Not in File on l?eoor< With Secretary of State. Columbia. March X.?It does ver little good to suggest "1 told you so. but it was hoped that it would no be applicable to one of the most im v poriani anil epocn-maKing u ? legislation enacted at the recent ses sion of the general assembly. Th tax commission act as slighted ii tie rush toward adjournment. Wha the general assembly passed am agreed upon after mature delibera tion. what is stipulated in the Jour y rials as being the law. is not in th ? act that has been ratified. The trou ble appears to be that the senat bill, which was what the recori shows, was agreed upon and ough to be the text of the ratified act. i not in the file that is on record wit! the secretary of State. The title o the bill that is left, and which wa evidently used, has this rubber ? stamped over the title of the hous bill: "Senate amends by strikin out and inserting senate bill 233 Signed. Andrew J. Bethea, president February 19. 1915." But what wa intended to be inserted in lieu is no inserted?not a word of it. Strange as it may appear, there i prominently in the file of paperg o the original record this, the manu script report of the free conferenc Committee, which shows that the sen ate amendments were agreed to, am the' senate amendment was an en tirely and completely new bill, strik ing out all after the enacting words U ' and here is the record both from th W file in the manuscript bill and fror L the Journals of the house and sen .1 aI*Free Conference Rejiort. The committee on free conference to whom was referred: H. 314, (S 418,) a bill to create a State ta: commission, and to define its powers and duties, begs leave to repor that, they have carefully considers same and recommend that the sen ate amendments be agreed to. Re spectfully submitted, X. Christen sen. J. A. Banks. J. B. Black, on th t c part of the7senate; J. T. Liles, J. S Huffman. G. L. Toole, on the part o the house.

Attached to the manuscript fil are two manuscript amendments, on "by Senator Lide and another b; Senator Laney, relative to the salar: of the chairman of the board.

The kitchen in which this au gust event took place was lined witl a generous supply of hams an< flitches of bacon, with strings o onions strung from the rafters. The audience consisted of abou fifteen farm hands, five or six o , * their employers, and the miller o the little hamlet. I addressed then [ ' with what I thought to be considera ble effect for about 15 minutes. an< ^ no words of mine can describe th? trepidations from which I suffere< during this short' interval.

The delegation has no doub tl hatever as to Mr. Johnson's appoint f ment." Mr. Finlev further stated tha s Senators Tillman and Smith, unde e an agreement entered into two year ago by the delegation, have the nam , ing of the marshal and district at tornev, and that the members of th g house have nothing whatever to d< t with the appointment of these twi officials.

Would Xot Be PleasedOne of our western senators whi possesses a rather Irascible tempei x has a habit on days when everything seems to go wrong of tecolding th t clerks employed by the committee, j Not long ago, during a session o the senate, the western solon had ex _ pressed a desire that one of his clerk prepare a tabulated statement of cer e tain trade statistics of the Unite* . States. The statement was accord f inglv prepared and laid before th s testy senator, who glanced at it witl a an air that boded trouble. In a mo ment he looked up and exclaimed. e "See here, Morton, this wouldn' e dot Why don't you prepare thi v statement on the typewriter? Thes figures are disgraceful. Any 12-vear old school boy could do better thai e that. See that three? It looks fo all thft world like a five! No on e ? ? ----- , . C would take it for anything else. Jus s look at it!" "I beg pardon, senator," repliei the clerk apologetically. "The fac is, it is a five." "A five," roared the senator. "Yoi e idiot! It looks like a three."

Si7 The plan of the allies for regula- y0 - tion of shipping to and from ports va e of hostile nations contemplates pre- th< :. vention of commodities of every kind 'n| be s reaching or leaving those ports with- cei - out, however, involving risks to neu- sal r> trai vo??k nr their crews. TT~ d The allies will hold themselves at Al liberty to capture goods presumed to have come from hostile countries or to be destined for them. They have qU no intention, however, of confiscating pei 0 the ships or vcargoes detained unless fol they are liable to confiscation under ^ g normal conditions of war. ga e The premier revealed these meas- Lit ures of reprisal to parliament on ,in- ?x< f troducing the third and fourth votes Dei - for credit to meet the expenses of ani s war. These are respectively, $185,- tie 000,000 to balance the expenditures Qu< 1 of the current fiscal year, making the j., - total cost of eight months of war $1.- ba e 810,000.000. and another vote of $1.h 250,000,000 as the first instalment Pir ?- for the year opening April 1. The premier pointed out April 1 C0] t the war will have lasted 24 0 days, ter s with an "average expenditure of 1,- sai e 500,000 pounds sterling ($7,500,000) 0 1 '- daily. After making full allowance th? a for all items not in the nature of re- up r coverable loans, the daily expendi- na e ture U'ould not work out less than t 1,200,000 pounds sterling. Jej The total raised under votes for on i credit during the current fiscal year t ?362,000,000 pounds sterling, rep- b? resented broadly the difference in ex- an a oenditures on a police and a war v footing. 8,11 Of the total 38,000,000 pounds sterling represented advances for pjr war expenditures of the dominions s and the crown colonies, in addition th< ~ to which there had been advanced ^ 10,000.000 pounds sterling to Belr gium and 800,000 pounds sterling to ' Servia. go "Further advances to these allies are in contemplation," the premier continued. "It is probably within ? the mark to say that by April 1 we will be spending roundly 2,000,000 pounds sterling daily above the nor- Co mal." , mc The vote for credit of 250,000,000 sui pounds sterling is the largest single ad vote ever put before the house. It eff will cover the period to the second ce? week of July. _ rac Referring to the attack on the Dar- an( danelles. the premier said there had E. been no impairment of strength of ap] the allies in France or in Flanders as a result of withdrawals of men for ca( service in the campaign against Tur- for key. ha _w_n ? o.Jv.q tho full.
