Manning's Leadership.
The State, Feb. 27.
Niels C'nristensen, senatoro from
Beaufort, and J. T. Liless representative
from Orangeburg, who are chair- j
men of the senate finance committee j
and the house ways and moans com
mittee, respectively, were asked yes-1
terday to analyze the recapitulation of1
the general appropriation bill, printed >
in The State of February 24. The j
chairmcn of t .ese two important com-I
mittees o. the general assembly are in i
Columbia to attend a meeting of th>*
sinking f-nd commission of which they 1
are ex-officio members.
(Tlie general appropriation bills of
the past, with one exception, have j
not attempted to indicate by levy j
what the taxes are to be used L'or. '
This year a partial analysis is made ;
in the bill by specifying a special levy j
01' one-half mill for development of j
the State Hospital for the Insane, an-1
other special levy of 1 mill for pen- j
sions and the balance of 5 1-2 mills j
for general 'State purposes. A levy j
of 1 mill will raise approximately
$300,000.
Items ia Act.
Yesterday 2?Ir. Christensen and Mr.
Liles suggested that the analysis of
the bill might be carried further by
pointing out that of the remaining!
5 1-2 mills 0! the total levy of 7 j
mills, one raises the fund for the |
maintenance of the State Hospital for'j
the Insane, one covers tT.:e amount!
used for interest on the State deb: i
and election expenses, a little lessj
than one for common schools and a i
little more than one for 'State col-1
leges, leaving 1 1-2 mills to cover all
the cost of the judicial, administrative
and legislative departments o: the j
State. This means that the 1 1-2 mill
tax will provide for the salaries of all
the judges, court stenographers; total
cost of the sessions of the legislature
and public printing, and all salaries
and expenses of tr:e offices o: the givernor,
treasurer, comptroller general,
attorney general, secretary of state,
adjutant general, insurance commis
sioner, department of agriculture, tax j
i
commission and board of charities. I
Mr. Christensen and Mr. Liles said j
that the: free conference committee j
seriously considered cutting the ap-;
propriations to bring the levy down j
to a total of 6 1-2 mills The follow- j
ir.g as new tems would have been i
cut out of the bill: Pensions, $33,-[
000; common schools, $36,000; Win- j
throp iCollege gymnasium, $13,000;
university, $2,500; tax commission,
$10,500; board of charities, $6,700; j
Cedar Springs Institute, $16,000.
Will of Legislature. J
Besides these cuts, aggregating $40,-1
000, more would ha<.e pad to be
made, and it was decided that the
taxpayers would rather pay the extra
half mill than sacrifice the advancement
and justice represented by
these items. Both houses had deliberately
ordered these expenditures as
representing normal and needed development
of ?':e institutions of higher
learning, and the reorganization of
the tax system and the penal and
charitable institutions of the State.*
When asked to comment on the general
legislation passed, Mr. Christensen
and .Mr. Lilies stated that in their
opinion the results were due largely
to the splendid leadership of Gov.
Manning. They believed that ihis tact,
clearly defined ideas, earnestness and
acquaintance with legislative procedure
resulted in a hearty co-operation
i
during the latter part of the session.
i
Gov. ^Manning struck the keynote ot
progressivenes and harmony in his
message and made the session notable.
