have been and will be outlined; with a: >
program of tax reform to be proposed J1

possible, and that appropriations be

efficiency in the administration- of the ' t
affairs of state. ; a
It may safely be predicted that the i
session will go thirty days. The usual r
length of a session is forty days. There ' t
. is no limit. The pay of the members is (
$200 each per session. In former years j
it was so much per day for forty days, \
and after the expiration of the forty
i. 4-1, ^ ~
(lays Tnere was no pay, except iur mo 11
clerks and attaches. Hence the preva- f
lent idea that forty days is the legal j a
* length of a session. As a matter of j \
L fact, the legislature can stay in session j t
Wj tke whole year round if it wants to, but -v
the pay of membei i remains stationary j j
at $200 per session. The session may j \
ga the customary forty days, or it may j
^o longer, but it will be possible to con- ?
elude it within thirty days, and there {
seems to be a well-defined sentiment in i
favor of getting down to work and get- ?

Immediate Legislation Demanded. 1
The suggestion has been made that the t
legislature convene and immediately re- (
cess until a later date in order to con- j
serve coal.' The proposition is absurd \
on its face. Even if the members of the i
general assembly bad to suffer a little <
- inconvenience from lack of fuel?which j
will not be the case?it is absolutely im- <
perative that an appropriation bill be <
(passed as speedily as possible. There i
is not a department of government ]
which has had any funds since the close i
ef the fiscal year-'on JJecemoer ai, ana i
there will be no funds available for any j
f these departments until th? appro- ;
priation bill for 1918 is passed. The <
State, under its fseal policy, is now run- ;
?ing on borrowed money. If the general ;
assembly should convene and recess until, ;
(rammer time, without passing an appro- <
priation bill and a county supply bill, ;
mich institutions as the State Hospital <
for the Insane, the county chain gangs, i
and others, which require constant care ]
wnnlri be helDless. to sav :
nothing of the various departments of
government being at a standstill, the
State colleges without money, and the j
whole machinery of the State financial- J
ly paralyzed. There will be 100 tons of
coal on hand for the legislature, but the
people want to see the members set an
example in the conservation program;
enact the necessary legislation, and conelude
the session within thirty days, if
possible. The shorter the session the
xrreater the savinsr. of course, in .the mat
ter of clerk hire and expenses of that
kind, which is a big item. There are
some big problems before the legislature
*nd some of them will take some time,
brt that one-fourth of the customary j
forty days consumed can be lopped off !
this year, if the members should be so j
disposed, is the opinion of a great many j
who have thoroughly studied the situation.
Tax Reform.
The State tax commission is going to ;
ask the legislature for a flexible levy.
This is in line with a program which the
commission has mapped out of requiring

property at its actual value, instead of
one-third its value, as has been the custom
heretofore, the idea of the commission
being then to whack this valuation
in half and get the property of
tke State on an actual 50 per cent, val*
. nation. A levy fixed by the legislature
as in former years, upon the valuation
HA^iow on the books; would raise too much

The appropriation bill last year car-jsi(

is to whether that can be done: but it j ^
an be done, and the levy even reduced
f the strictest economy, consistent with
'fficiency, is practiced.
There will be no fight upon any ap- 1(^
>ropriation asked for in connection with I
he war emergency, if the members are "1'
iatisfied that it is necessary. At the I *
^ ' l
neeting of the State council of defense! .
ecently, when the proposed'legislation i111

Governor Manning suggested an appro
j Sl>
>riation of $<30,000, which suggestion
vas concurred in by Major Richards, nu
i s I
vho was defeated for governor by Mauling
in 1914. All factions and political
faiths are in accord upon the matter of 'e
idequate support, financial and otheri

The Council of Defense.
The State council of defense has out-, ^
ined a measure which will be submitgr
;ed to the general assembly, creating the
jouncil as a State institution and defin- ,
,ng its* powers and duties? There are ^
;wo sections of the proposed measure
tvhich have come in for considerable
sriticism as being too sweeping in their ^
provisions. There is one section which
SG
.devolves upon the council the power riot
)nlv of investigation, but of censorship,
frith heavy penalties involved, and real- ,
U.C
!y clothes it with even greater powers
:han the courts now have. These sec-i
cions, however, before they are enacted
into law, will in all proDaDintv oe so ?
amended as really to express what the
souncil must intend. There is hardly j
any probability of the legislature clothleg
any body of men with such arbitrary ni
powers as these two sections, taken to-:
gether, would actually confer. In the
main, and as the council of defense evi- j
dently intends it, the proposed act is tl<
otherwise well-drawn, and will very ti
lr
probably be passed in such shape as to ()
meet the wishes of that body. ! g.
Tlie Elections. j ii
The general assembly will have a num- j w
ber of important elections on its hands. :
One associate justice of the supreme c;
court and seven circuit judges are to be tr
elected. Associate Justice Hydrick of
the supreme court will in all probability
be re-elected without opposition. The n]
terms of the following circuit judges ei
will expire during the coming year, ne- a
cessitating elections by this general as- e*
sembly: Judges I. W. Bowman of the p*
first circuit; Hayne F. Rice of the second k
circuit; John S. Wilson of the third "
circuit; T. II. Spain of the fourth cir- ^
cuit; Ernest Moore of the sixth circuit; j
F. B. Gary of the eighth circuit, and c
T. J. Mauldin of the thirteenth circuit, s
Judge Mendel L. ?>mith of the fifth cir- ^

had been appointed a major in the judge (j

in regard to whether or not lie will ten- ,

resign during the session, three members n
of the Columbia bar and one member |
of the Camden bar will be candidates ;
i
for the position. They are Mr. W. H. S
Townsend, supreme court reporter; Mr. j
W. T. Aycoek and Mr. W. N. Graydon |
of Columbia and Mr. T. J. Kirkland of!

his successor. State Insurance Commis- c
sioner F. H. McMaster, whose term ex- n
pires at the coming session, kas an- j a
nounced that he will not be a candidate ^
for re-election and there are some six c
or seven candidates for this position, a
promising a spirited contest. The term
of Mrs: Virginia PI SfoOdy aff State' ^
librarian also expires. Mrs. Moody, will

i the present quart-rvmonth law. The
obabilities seem to be that they will

ijority in each "house, and they can
ss pretty nearly any liquor legislation
ey want. On the ratification of the
deral constitutional amendment, it. re}res
two-thirds of each house, and the
estion of State's rights may bob up in
f? Hifirtjissjon. In the matter of oassins
luor legislation for the State loeallv,
vvever, there is a decided "prohibi>n:'
majority in each house whieh can
almost anything if its adherents do

doubt that at this time the majority|
the State officers are not being paid
ing salaries. The recently created ofes
have larger salaries attached, most
which are none too large, but there j
a gross inequality. For instance, the j
jretary of thj? State board of charities
reives more than the attorney general,
e comptroller general or the state
?asurer; the State warehouse comrais>ner
receives more than other State
icials?in fact, his salary is $3,000,

LESS RAWL COMPLIMENTS
HER MUSIC CLASS
As a compliment for exceptional work
iring the term preceding the Christas
recess, Miss Kawl entertained very
elightfullv for her pupils at the studio
a the night before Christmas eve (Satrday).
The studio, hung with cedar and misetoe
and holly wreaths, and lighted enrely
by Christmas candles, formed a
ively background for the little girls in j
party frocks" and the older pupils in
vening dress, who sat at the piano durig
the very informal program which
as rendered early in the evening.
After the singing of the Christmas
arols the lights were extinguished, the
andles and stars of the tall Christmas
ee which had been standing in a rather
ark corner forming the only illuminaion.
Then came the opening of the ChristLas
packages. Each pupil received
ther a crepe de chine handkerchief of
special design ami color to match some;
;pecial costume or a tiny kewpie who j
trried a message peculiarly fitted to the
iipil who received him?the traveling !
