Columbia, April 5.—Legislating in South Carolina is becoming a serious problem, especially to those members who really cannot afford the long ses sion oi the general assembly that has entered its thirteenth week. Many young men who were returned victors at the polls last summer have realized that in South Carolina it costs money to be a legislator. Some freely admit that they need money. Many have endeavored to have an additional appropriation made to help pay their expenses at this ses sion. The first time $150 was the sum HEAR COOLIDGE set foxth in the resolution. A roll call was asked for in the house and the resolution was defeated. The next time $100 was the amoxjnt asked for \ FOR SALE—White Leghorn eggs, pure Ferris strain. $1.00 a setting, again a roll call was demanded of 15 eggs.

In the present and prospective in dustrial situation, Mr. Coolidge saw justification of the tariff and he again pledged an administration of justice by the government in its Velations with business. The policy of conserv ing to the American producer “the right of ficst opportunity in the home market,” he said, “has resulted in a “very fair approximation of democ racy in industry.” „ He also promised full assistance by the national government in fighting the boll weevil and indorsed the sug gestion for a treaty of cooperation among the cotton producing states. The president reviewed at length the problems of the cotton manufac turing industry, noting even the re- NEW POSTAL RATES IN EFFECT APRIL 15 . 5c . 8c 10c 25c whelmingly.

Scores of attaches of the gen eral assembly will make a great deal more than the legislators themselves. Even the pages will draw more money than a mdmber of the general assem bly for each attache gets paid a per diem for every day over the forty- day limit. The free conferees are now fram ing another report. The appropria tions will hardly be changed, it is believed, but another source of reve nue instead of the sales tax reported last week will be found. The general sentiment seems to be that a tax on soft drinks, chewing tobacco and snuff will be passed provided the house agrees to the incorporation of the re valuation scheme in the general ap propriations bill. However, to meet the deficit of $800,000 other methods will have to be found. Some advocate quent reduction in consumption of cloth. He added that he saw little prospect of stabilizing women’s styles, and remarked that their constant changing might make it difficult for manufacturers, but “no doubt relieves monotony and adds to the spice of life.” i Slight Changes Are Made In Most Classes, With Exception of First Class Mail.
