KILLS PROVISION FOR STATE LOAN HOI SK SlSTAl>S VETO BY THE (iOVEKNOK. Opinion* Oilier as to Situation State Will Face Wi.vn Funds (the Out. The State, 6th. Bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard will be the State treasury of South Carolina from August "?. next, 7o December 1">. 1914. unless extraordinary provision t'or replenishing it be made. Yesterday the governor vetoed the section in the general appropriation bill authorizing the governor, the Statr treasurer a.d the comptroller general to borrow such money as might be needed to run the government and pay the in. e: est 011 the State's bonded debt during the year 1914. Last night, by a vote of 40 to 28, The .ions? o:' representatives sustain J tlie veto. Consequently there will j be no money in the Sta:e treasury to j meet the ordinary expenses of the j State for ue curre.it year, unless, as i stated above, extraordinary provi-1 <?ion be made for procuring a loan. i Thf State government has always been run 011 a credit basis, loans to meet current- requirements being raised upon pledge of taxes collectible-. The taxes for 1914 will be payable December 15, next, to March 15.! 1915. The action of the house is said to i ?*-i? ^ J ? i. i oe wunoui precedent. ; Tlie governor in his veto message appealed to ail of his friends in til? house to sustain his veto of the section providing for the borrowing of money ro run the government duiing 1S14. He gave as his reason the fact that he uad had friction with the comptroller general and the treasurer. The house took the governor at his svora and sustained the veto. Will Protect State's Credit. A. "W. Jones, comprtoller general, . 'taid last night that regardless of the I veto upon section 41 and its sustention by toe house, he purposed protecting the credit of the State by withholding such portion of the State j funds as may be required to pay the i interest due next July on State bonds, j The comptroller general said, fur- j ther. that whether or not section S33 : of ihe code authorizes the borrowing of money to meet current requ.rements, no loan can be effected except through the cooperation of the gov- j ern^r. the State treasure] and the comptroller general: so Oat the governor. in the -event that he under takea to negotiate a loan, will find himself obliged, his objections to the contrary notwithstanding, to act with j iiie treasurer and the con. ptroller. (All of the lawyers who were con-! suited last night about the effect; of the killing of section 41 in the appropriation bill, providing for the borrowing of money, were of the opinion that the action taken might cause the State some embarrassment. Some of them held, though, that sec tion S33 of the code of 1912 might -enable the State to float irs usual loan. The repealing clause in "the appropriation bill wipes out all acts inconsistent with it, aiid some of the lawyers who were spofcen to on the subject last night held ihat it would invalidate section 833, .vhir^'j relates to borrowing money on the credit of the State. Conditions In usual. The situation created by the action of the governor in vetoing this .section of the appropriation bill and of the house in sustaining the veto, placed the State in an unusual position. The taxes of 1913 will provide sufficient funds to meet the ordinary expenses of the State until next August. but how the expenses from that lime win oe met is mauei ui speculation, as the State has always borrowed money to tide it over until the taxes began to come in. The authori-i ty to borrow this money was withdrawn when the house sustained the veto of the governor last night. "When section 41 came before the bouse last night, Mr. Dick, of Sumter, chairman of the ways and jneans committee, warned the house to be careful of its action. "Everybody in this body is supposed xo know the fiscal basis on which the State government is run," said Mr, THMr Hr\ r\rsr coo onv nco frn moire a speech, but I do warn the house to be careful of its action on the veto of section 41 of the appropriation bill." Tote on Ye to. The following members of the | house voted to sustain the governor's veto of section 41: J. W. Ashley, M. J. Ashley, Bolt, Browning, Creech, Partner, Haile, M. j C.
