[e WILSON TO VETO c FIXAXCE M EASV ItK. (Hugh W. Itoberts in The State.) n Washington, Jan. 2.?As a result oi the petition of David F. Houston, j secretary of the treasury, President Wilson has definitely concluded to j it.' veto the joint congressional resolution which would have restored the war j o , finance corporation as an exporting i (< : ! medium for farm products. It is not | e antici'.-ated that he will change his ?> ! . mind before morning, j So positive are the leaders who put the resolution through congress that the revival of the war finance corpor;e ' ! :ation would exert a most salutary ef- j feet, even if excluded to psychology! h ! . . , ion tne agricultural situation, report- f e ! . ied desperate, that they will make a j . 'determined effort to retain the law I IS I , , ; despite tne veto. The resolution i 'passed the senate without a record j . vole, and its friends in the house were ! l" ' ? ; in a majority of at least three to one. is i I i'That strength, however, could not be 1 e i mustered, it is said, in an attempt to ! il thwart the veto. The rejected resolu- ! e ^ tion is expected to reach the senate to- ; morrow noon. On account of the ube s?-nce of a fair proportion of memb-rs, action will be postponed unless ^ i __ ^ > Xi ? Ai -.1 i n > ;a canvass 01 me suuuuori snuuiu 111I<2: ate sufficient strength on the scene " I n jtt save the resolution. I There is considerable question as r_ \k> whether or not the revival of the corporation would really convey a ? benefit. The attitude of many niem! I bers of congress is that even if it -j j wouldn't help it woulddn't hurt, and s ; that as the farmers want it, they r {should be permitted to have it. If . 'the veto is overridden the ndminis tra-i'?n of the corporation by Mr * I ' j | Houston, who violently opposes it, j j would not be enthusiastic, it is feared, i i ? The resolution has since passed over the president's veto. j GOVERNOR COOPER WILL I RECOMMEND 7 MILLIONS I [ | (Columbia Correspondence News and Courier.) | Columbia. S. C., Dec. 23.?The state j budget commission will recommend: an appropriation of approximately $7,000,000' for the operation of the: state government, its departments and i institutions for 1021. This will be a; 1 I decrease of about two and one-half i j : million dollars from the estimates j t r\ it + < (J _ ! . H I M i i i L I v vi CW U, > v J i IV 12 IVIUUVU V %' f | i SOS,200.59. This would mean a levy of approximately 14 mills on a valuation of between $44S,000,000 and ?450,] 000.000 in tangible property, as estimated by the state tax commission. This levy, however, could be reduced : because of the moneys from other isources which must be turned into the state treasury under the budget law. . i "I have not yet completed my study i : of our 1021 budget in all of its de1 tails." stated Governor Cooper, chairIman of the commission today, when i !'questioned relative to the tax agita! tion in the state at present, "but I will i recommend a reduction of appropriaj tiens from, the year, 1920, with the |exception of the appropriation for the 'public .schools. 1 am satisfied further | that with other recommendations j which will be submitted to the legislature, the levy of 1921 can, and will, be |materially redu< 1 expect to dinjcuss this whole -lUestion in detail in !u:y annual message.. ! While he has- made no stateme-f i jto the effect, it :s understood that tlm , j governor will ask the general asset;: j biy to propse a bond issue to the ! people in a referendum election, the | issue to cover ten years of permanent 1 improvements. The theory is that to] ;arrive at an adequate estimate of the ; j wants of the state along permanent lines, a commission of engineers j should be appointed to make a thorough study of the wants ol each institution and activity and report in ; detail to the legislative bodies before /the election is ordered. \ Along this line it can be aiuhorita' lively stated that the budget eom mission will turn, its face for any an i propriation for permanent improveI ; ments for 1921, this, of course, including new buildings at state institutions of higher learning and state-opIierated charitable and correctional aoj tivities, !
