SENATE AND HOUSE Proceedings of the Two Branches of the General Assembly MANY MATTERS OF INTEREST What Our Lawmakers Aro Doing Day By Day-Bills That Have Become Ads, -.-.-?-a HOUSE. At the last session ot the general assembly the financial condition ot the State was brought to the attention of the lawmakers in such a way as to make them solicitous as to the future, the annual expenditures were in ex cess of the annual revenue. The ap propriations were kept as low as pos sible without crippling any depart tuen, and a commission was-uppoint. ed to investigate the situation ami re port, ways and means of increasing the revenue. The commission consisted of Sen ators Mower, of Newberry and Man ning, of Bumpier. Thomas of Richland and Tatum of Orangobnrg. Their re port has heen published already in The State. In accordance with their fl in di ng. Mr. Moses, who is chairman of the ways and means committee of the house, which introduces all revenue bills, has presented four measures to increase the receipts of the State treasury. In addition thereto Mr. Jeremiah Si. ??th has a bill to change the entire system of lax pay in?. but his bill merely regulates the maimer ol' assessment and payment. Mr. W, .). Johnson ha? a hill to pro vide for a franchise tax of one mill on the capitalization of every corpora tion conducing business iii the State. Mr. Johnson also has a bill to provid? for an excise tax or the gross re ceipts of all corporate .is (except tex tile mills and oil mills) conducting business within the State. But the. bills to which particular attention will be given on account of the semi-official manner ol' their pre sentation are the several measures coming from Mr. Moses of the ?ax commission, one of the most experi sneed, conservative and thoughtful legislators in the State. The bills which he has introduced are: A bill to require the payment nf annual license fees of corporations doing business In the State, and to" re quire them to report to the secretary ol' State. A hill to amend Hie law as to the graduated tax on incomes. A bill to impose a tax on gifts, in heritances, devises, bequests and le gacies in certain cases. A bill to provide additional meas ures and remedies for collection on past and unpaid taxes upon certain property, which has escaped taxation. A bill to amend the code of laws I nf South Carolina. 1902, in reference to the State board of assessors and Its duties. A bill in reference to the duties of chairman of local boards of assessors and their compensation. WHAT THE BILLS MEAN. The bill last named provides that ululen- the direction of the county^jc tilter the chairman ?^^a^faq^^^hii? hoard of asse^soja*?n^irmake a can vass at a^iunerallon of $2.00 per ^y^Qf^HhaU add such property to Jh?inx.books as has escaped taxation. The bill in reference to the State board of assessors would do away with the board of equalization of one member for each county, and would have one from each judicial circuit in stead. The board would also assess banks and railroad property as well as textile industries. The Jaw as the income, tax provide:? that S2".utKTis 'the mnimum income taxable. Mr. Moses' bill brings the minimum income to $1.000 and pro vides that mi all Incomes over that ?mount shall be a tax ot one - halft of one per cent. The income tax law as it now stands is a farce. The amended law might he of bouefit. The inheritance tax bill provides for an assessment of I per cent, on every inheritance, gift, legacy or be erest when the samo ls $10,000 or more. This Includes transfers by will of deceased persons, whether they lived in the State or were non-resi dents. Also "when the transfer is of property made by a resident or by a non-resident when such non-resident's property is within the State, by deed, grant, bargain, sale or gift made in contemplation of the death of the grantor, vendor, or donor, or Intend ing to take effect in possession or en joyment at or after such death." TO TAX CERTAIN ROLLING STOCK. The bill to "provide additional measures and remedies for the collec tion on past due and unpaid taxes upon certain property which has es caped taxation," is iu the line of thf. policy of the secretar?' of State acting ns agent for the sinking fund com mission. The title is a little mislead :ng. for it does not apply to all classes of property, but to the rolling stock of shippers of meals, oils, cattle.etc.who use their own rolling stock. It is claimed that such cars have escap ed taxation, whereas Pullman cars have been taxed just as railroad prop erty. The bill contains the following defi nition: "That, the cars rolling stock, struc tures, works and appliances, of any nature or character whatsoever, pro vided the same be used in. about, upon or In connection with any rail road, shall be deemed railroad proper ty, and shall be liable to assessment as railroad property for any years that the said cars, rolling stock, struc tures or works shall have escaped taxation from any cause." The secretary of State is authorized to collect past due taxes on such con cerns and to proceed to collect this tax levy every year by notifying the ccmpanies to submit a statement of their business within the State. In case of refusal to comply,the secretary of State is authorized to fix a valua tion which he deems fair, and from ..his there can be no appeal. Mr. Moses' bill to require the pay nent of annual license fees of corpor ..tions conducting business in the State, and to require them to report io the secretary of State, is the one which is expected to be productive of revenue. It provides for a tax of three mills on the gross receipts of the fol lowing corporations to be paid before the first of June of each year: Any railroad company, express company, slrcet railway company, navigation vompany. water works company, pow ->r company, light company, telegraph :ompany. parlor, dining and sleeping ar company. Taxation In the House. By a vote of 89 to 18 the houso Thursday night passed the first of the leveniie bills submitted by the tax t o m mission appointed by the legisla ture last year to find some measures to Klieve the State from Its financial stringencies which hove become an noying of late years. The bill referred to is the franchise tax measure intro duced by Mr. Moses. The result of the discussion'was evident from the begin ning, but regardless of the overwhelm ing majority in opposition to bim, Mr. Eomar made a strong fight against the bill. His argument on the constitution al fon mills. rsrt.Uiner olacts. etc.. the ranchise will be one half bf one mill, in Mr. Jeremiah Smith's, bill the fee s $10 per annum for. each concern. Another revenu? bill hot - hamed tbove is the measure to license the latching of oysters, clams? terrapins ?nd other sea products in ase was very clear. The preseute ion of the case by Mn Moses, and aler by W. J. Johnson was very con vincing that the pace has beeb set by >ther States, and that the revenue to )e obtained by South Carolina will be n excess of the annual deficit of the est three or four years; Thc bill provides for a tax bf three nills on the gross receipts t?f the fol owing corporations, to be paid before he first of June Of each year: Any a il road company, express company, .iieet railway company, navigation .orapajiy, water works company, pow :r company, light company, telephone rc. telegraph company, parlor, dining md sleeping car company. Upon companies which are not pub ic utilities-such as cotton mill, banks, .il mills, and such Institutions char :ered by the State-the tax is to be me-half of one million the capital ? tock. With the other concerns the as sessment is on the gross receipts. With .he companies not public utilities the rayment of the franchise tax must be ?ade before the first day of April, md with the public utilities the tax if three mills on the gross receipts of :he preceding year is to be paid before he first of June, the time of year vb en the State is most in need ot 'ready cash." The work of the house Friday wa6 raried in its nature, and bills of many duds were rejected and were passed; Phe bicycle and automobile hill was 5ent to the senate; the Charleston: Medical college bili was passed; th? nil to give exclusive jurisdiction to th? United States upon certain landed ac ?uisitions was accepted in the original! md the bill to establish breweries and beer dispensaries was killed. An effort was made to recdniinil the bill relating to the riding of bicycles :nd automobiles before it got to the senate but the house refused to stop the bill in its passage, preferring to nave any necessary amendments made in the senate. Mr. Moses called atten tion to the fact that while the bill per mits a bicycle rider to get permission^ :o pass a conveyance, the driver of an iutomobile must get down and stand ?esille his machiue. And Mr. Cooperj lirected attention io the fact that while the hill prescribes punishment for the "first offence" it makes no pro-' vision for other offences. The house! thought that recommittal would be tantamount to killing the bill end the, motion was voted down. The following bills passed third read-' ing: Mr. Richards* to increase the scholarships at Winthrop from $44 to $100 each; Mr. Kibler's to provide for' in insurance commissioner; Mr. Matil da's providing for the investigation into the causes of fires and to provide los- the prevention of excessive fire in-, surance rates; and the tax commis sion's bill to require the payment of franchise tax by corporations. Mr. Mauldin's bill was not thoroughly ac ceptable to thc insurance companies," as has been reported, nor can it be called an insurance company bill, for while they accept the bill as a whole, the companies were not pleased with the provisions which permit the com-r missioner to investigate complaints that the rates are too high and tor make the companies give^r^r?TTTtr^ same basis os?n^oiiy^?ates. T^^^fs?mi w h a t of a disposition ?-o^r^ea great many hills made spe ial orders and to give the. general miers a chance. Mr. Williams moved hat all the special orders be discharg- j d for the day and that the house pro- 'I eed regularly with the calendar. This 1 ,-as agreed to and quite a number pt nils were gotten off the calendar where hey might have remained for some (ine as there are special orders enough ' o keep the house bun" tor r?'<r>o1 l lays;. . ' T'' ' ll SENATE An interesting debate occurred .Vednesday morning when Senator tagsdale's bill to cede to the United 'tates exclusive rights over certain amis was brought up after the Sen de returned from the memorial oxen :ises in the House. The bill has been lent back from the House with "con .urrent" substituted for the word "ex ?lusive." Senator Sheppard moved :oncurrence with the House amenda uent. ami a debate of some fervor en !\ied, the idea being entertained by ?orne of the Senators that citizens night not be able to have just the lame treatment when Tried in United States courts, for crimes and mlsde neauors committed on this territory, hat they would receive in the courts >f the State. Senator Brice .wished the bill to be, .etained in it.? original form, and read ixtra<us from a Washington corre spondent to a South Carolina paper saying that thc government . would nak-e no more appropriations for Udldings on land not governed ex clusively by it. Senator Brice argued .hat our representatives in Congress vanted this ?'hange made in the State aw. Senator von Kolnit.z. Senator J; Ar. Rassdale and Senator Walker >poke for the bill in its original form. Senator Walker remarked that the United Slates courts were practically South Carolina courts today to the ex .ent that, they are presided over by South Carolinians and have South karolina juries. To this Senator Shep hard agreed, but, said he. suppose ludge Brawley or Judge Simonton ihould die? No one knows who would ,ake their places. The courts hare not tl ways been as they are now. It is rot many yearn since the Radical judge. Bond, ruled. The Senator ex pressed in no uncertain language the :iope that no vacancy would soon oc uir in the district bench, and certain y none during the present, administra tion A vote on Senator Sheppard's mo ion to concur with the house amend ment resulted in a tie. but the chair voted "aye. ' and the motion was car ded. Spartauburg. York, Florenco and Georgetown are the counties most af fected, it is said, for Ae federal gov ernment is negotiating to put up pub lic buildings in those cities. The bil) it: as follows: "Section 1. That tho consent of the State of South Carolina is hereby glv sn. in accordance with the seventeenth clause, eighth section of the first ar ticle of the constitution of the United States, to the acquisition of the United States by mirehase. condemnation or otherwise, of any land in the State re hired for custom houses, court louses, postoffices, arsenals or other public buildings, whatever, or for any ither purposes of the apvernment. "Sec. ".

"Sec. 3.

Senator Mannings bili to lhere; the salary of the Supreme court j tices,, the new road bill; Sena Dean's municipal indebtedness 1 were among those read for the th time. The bill for the completion the State house was held up on third reading and it is expected tl there will be a fight over its passa The calendar was again taken up a night session and the second re ing bills were disposed of. Those r< and passed were Senator Williai bill to provide for ?a jail in Williar burg county and his bill to locate I boundary lines between George!o and Williamsburg Comities. Favorable report was made on I bill tb have the attorney gene make a test of the Southern's lease th? S. C. & G. R. R.. a blH to prov for the punishment of safe craike and the bill to provide for two yt terms for railroad commissioners. The proceedings of the senate w< watched by many affected perse Thursday morning when Senator Ht din's bill to put cotton seed meal un< inspection, as fertilizers now are. w brought up as a special order. The I. was freely discussed and Bevel amendments offered, some of nhl were adopted and the others riefen*? Debate was adjourned on the bill un this morning on motion of Senator \V. Ragsdole. The act itself is lengthy, yet explic Il is an amendment to the fertilii bill, providing that the chemist Clemson college shall examine the c< ton seed meal. 25 cents being paid each ton as a lax to support this inv< ligation. Every bag must have printed on the name and location of the man facturer, the number of pounds in t bag. and the minimum percentage the ingredients guaranteed to be pr? ent. Also, these hags must be label! according to grades, of which the are three, determined by the chemic composition of the meal. Samples C analysis must be submitted to t State chemist. The sp?cifications for grades, amended, are more than 6.58 per cei of nitrogen (equivalent to 80 per cei of ammonia), high grade; less tin 6.58 per cent, of nitrogen (equivale Lo S per cent, of ammonia) and not le than 6.18 per cent, of nitrogen (equi aient to 7.2 per cent, ammonia) stan ard grade: less than 6.18 per cent, nitrogen (equivalent to 7?.2 per cei of ammonia) low grade; provide however, that this percentage shall n apply to meal made from sea islai cotton, which the board of Trustees Clemson shall grade. Any person violating the law I selling grades inferior to the one mar ?ed on the bag. or if thc bag is 5 p icent. short weif/ht will be fined for each bag. It was proposed to insert instead .section 10 the following; i "All sales, or contracts for sale ?fertilizers, fertilizing material and co ton seed meal, in violation of this a [tide shall be void; no title shall pa my such sale and no person biiyii .such fertilizers, fertilizing material < ?cotton seed meal shall be bound In ar : manner to pay the price cost thereof This provoked quite a discussion. It is also proposed to add a ne .tection saying that the State mi majjatain an action in the cour against violators of the law. as I grades, regardless of their residence the action to be sustained by liei upon the fertilizers or meal. If the a tion Is carried out and the goods so tinder execution, their grade shall 1 examined by the Clemson collei chemist so that a purchaser from tl sheriff may know what he ls buyin J Some amendments not yet neted upc are: j Senator Mayfield: That In case of a fctlon, any seller may be taken as a agent ot the company for the pnrpos serving naners. ^ ^ V Senator Manning: That the act tak< fffect June 1. 1904. i.

Although the senate on Werinesdaj concurred with Ihe house in substitu ting "concurrent" for "exclusive" ir the bill giving the United States gov ernment rights to certain lauds in South Carolina yesterday this bod) ,reversed itself. Seuator Herndon jus! ai. the time of tho adjournment or thc morang session, moved to reconsidei the vote token on Wednesday. This was done and Senator J. W.

C. & GA. RAILROAD LEASE, There was an interesting and im portant discussion last night over the bill introduced by Senator Mayfield tc require the attorney general lo entei suit to test the constitutionality of the lease of the South Carolina and Geor gia railroad by the Southern railway. The bill was intended, so the author explained, to bring an end to constant suits to test the constitutionality ot leases of railroads by others.
