Study Course Held
A mision study course was en

day of last week;
a patient l book, “Precious
Sight, was taught by the leader.
Miss Marion Mitchell. A large
Columbia, March 9—The House
of Representatives in special ses
sion in Columbia Saturdya refused
to override the veto of Gov. Byrnes
on the liquor tax distribution bill.
The vote was 58-51 ^for overrid
ing but not enough. Eighty-three
votes are necessary to override the
veto.
The vetoed act would have
thrown the state budget out of bal
ance if it had become law. Byrnes
refused to sign it because it would
have shunted $3.2 million from the
state treasury to counties and mu
nicipalities.
Although state-wide legislation
was ended last Saturday, the As
sembly was called back into a fi
nal, full-dress sesion to consider
the^_yeto message Byrnes sent up j
Thursday. *—~~
The now dead liquor tax act
proposed to double the 20 and 15
percent shares of the $9 million-
a-year revenue now allocated to
counties and municipalities, res
pectively. The state would have
been reduced from its present 65
per cent share, to one of 30 per
cent
The Byrnes veto message said if
the act-became law the state either
would have to find more revenue
or cut expenditures. More money
for such items as school teacher
pay, mental institutions and health
work will be needed next year, he

said.
In answer to the argument by
the act’s supporters that retail sales
tax revenue will exceed estimates,
Byrnes replied that there is no real

THANK YOU
reason of such a belief.
Nearly two hours of sharp argu
ment preceded the House vote with
first one-speaker and then a.noth-j
er taking opposite stands.
Rel^. Hollings of Charleston, j
speaker pro tern of the House, re-1
viewed new and rising govern-1
mental costs. He then declared 1
that if we override this veto, we’ll
create a financial Korea for our
selves; we’ll be financially de
funct.”
