nwnuoFHmnr TO STATE AS A WHOLE ' i. Oat«( 170 AeU, L*m TUa Tm Ara of. State-Wida haport. The legitUtlve tession of 1914 drawing to a doee. It it not now a question of whether this or the other bill will pass but when will the Assemb ly adjourn sine die. It is altogether and entirely a question for the decision of the honorable Senate. The whole matter of adjournment hinges .on the flqal action on the appropriation and genera! supply bills. Over on the Senate side the appropriation bill has been passed to third reading for amend ment on final reading, if there are to ’ be changes. The House is anxious, in fact, it is getting peevish, waiting for the honorable Senate to pass the appro priation and supply bills, quit and go home. Of course, there is no hope— not the least—of passing even a frac tional part of the measures that are on either Calendar, therefore the idea is to get through with the * necessary money bills and quit. The law makers have been'On duty for the full forty days contemplated by the Constitution, , and for which pay is allowed, and whatever extra service or board bills have to be paid beyond the forty days is chargeable to patriotic duty, and many members think—and with reason —that they have been “on the job” quite long enough and are ready to quit, -j \ i < " ) ' The work of the present session em phasizes the wisdom of biennial ses sions for law-making bodies, in that the State can easiely do without jars and radical changes for two-year inter vals. V * ' ■ . . __ i ~ Little of State-Wide Import. Whether it be for political reasons', a lack of political courage, a disposition to restore peace and harmony or a real laiasez fa ire policy thcare^witi .he-npj-ad- iciT legislation at this session—nothing to mark the year. There have been up to date formal ratifications of one hundred and seventy-one Acts and joint resolutions; must of them have been about school bonds, roads, county of ficers, the right to buy or sell county lands, commutation taxes, rural police, bonds, school trustees and the like. Out of the entire hundred and seventy-one Acts that have been duly ratified less than^teirhave any semblance of being State-wide in import. The only bills that are included in this list with a semblance of State-wide consequences are: The Act to allow hofhe insurance companies to meet rates made by out side insurance brokers. Extending the right to condemn lands so that cities wanting water sheds can condemn lands. Permitting the consolidation of the Charleston and Western Carolina rajr- road with the Atlantic Coast Line sys tem. Allowing convicts time for good be havior—this will not be worth while if there are no convicts to whom the Fri day statute will apply. The McQueen Anti-Hazing Act. Providing for a general and adequate system for disbarment proceedings. Mr Beamguard's amendment to the General Drainage Act. Mr Clifford Thompson’s Act as to warning boards at railroad crossings. Tiiis 'a list of the general ‘Xcta, that have found their way, thus far, in the full forty days to the Governor’s of fice. Of the hundred and seventy-one Acts ratified three have been vetoed and the vetoes have not yet been acted upon. The House holds as unfinished busi ness’fwJm the Senate side the McLau- rin-.McQueen warehouse system mea sure. There are no other important Senate measures on the House side of decided importance. ~ The House on the other hand has given the Senate’a good, big burden of unfinished business, first in importance being the 2-cent mileage bill, then the Saunders “red light” bill, the Harper optjpnal compulsoro education bill, the proposition to sell one Or both of the State Penitentiary farms, the Miley re form primary issue, the banker’s Nego tiable Instrument Act, the Rittenberg high license system as applicable to Charleston and other matters. Sassion* of Good Feeling. As has been repeatedly said in this correspondence this has been a session of good feeling and avoidance of every thing that might engender feeling. It is perhaps well that it is thus. V The overshadowing aide issue has been the so-called investigation into the affairs of the State Hospital for the Insane. At the outset no-one in par ticular was charged with Anything, but it soon developed that Dr. Eleanors B. Saunders was the central figure And that the Issue was whether she should be made a sacrifice or not The vindi- cation and honors of Dr Saunders have been complete tnfSr A&e has been the ; of all who must admire an Unua- f strong and brilliAat woman.
