Long Session Becoming a Serious
Problem To Young Men Who,Feel ^
Need of Expense Money.
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

President Assures Increased Business
and Predicts Greater Prosperity
Before National Body.
«Washington, April 6.—An assurance
of increased business prosperity was
voiced by President Coolidge in an ad
dress a here tonight to the National
Cotton Mam&acturers’ association.
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-

ready passed and the thirteenth is
beginning. The sum of $400 for each
man is what the law requires to be
paid. 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

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.”

Washington, April 6.—With Presi

the budget bureau as the principal
speakers, the National Association of
Cotton Manufacturers tonight wound

the treasury and only one, the bureau

Director Lord in his prepared address
predicted that “with no change in the
