SOME IMPOKTANT BILLS |
ARE BEFORE ASSEMBLY
350 Bills la Bsth Hswsas.—Faar sra of
Special Importance.
The South Carolint General Assembly
hss gotten down to hard work after two
weeks of preliminary work. About 360
bills are under consideration by both
the House and the Senate sod, as most
of the undertakings haVebeen covered,
the influu of new propositions from
now on will be quite small. Primary
reform, compulsory education, medical
inspection and tax revision are the
most important matters that will be
considered.
A or Mg. Redaction
Perhaps the most uneqpected devel
opment is in connection with the con
certed effort to repeal the cotton acre
age reduction law enacted at the recent
extraordinary session of the General
Assembly. There are quite a number
of bills along these lines, but the indi
cations just now are that the fight will
be made on the House side on the Moore
bill, which proposes a direct and abso
lute repeal of the bill passed several
months ago. On the Senate side there
are two bills, one by Senator Williams
that is similar to that of Mr. Moore, and
another by Senator Stuckey, that is
in the nature of a compromise, and
proposes to amenfi the present law and
permit 50 per cent cotton acreage in
stead of a one-third cotton acreage as j
provided in the outstanding statute.
The up-country seems to be more op
posed to the acreage bill than the bal
ance of the State, and at the moment,
if a ballot were taken, the chfef work
of the extraordinary session would be
smashed to smithereens.
Woman Suffrage.
The woman suffrage movement has
evidently gained considerable headway
in this State. There are a number of
propositions pending, represented by
three schools of thought, one of which
is in the nature of an entering wedge
and provides that women might be
elected or appointed to positions on
school boards and serve as notaries
public. Another is a straight suffrage
bill, which would submit to the voters
of the State a constitutional amendment
permitting women to vote. The third
proposes a costitutional amendment but
limits the right of suffrage to white
women.
Prohibition Bilik
The prohibition organization is pre
senting a series of bills looking towards
State-Wide prohibition in South Caro
lina. One of them provides for State
wide prohibition right off the reel;
another provides for a referendum, by
which the people are to vote on the
State-wide piohibition next September.
Then there is a bill to make effective
the Webb law, and other measures
relative to penalties. It appeared that
t tere was not going to be much of a
fight on the referendum or State-wide
prohibition bills, but within the last few :
days, and after the inauguration of
Governor Manning, there has been
more talk of opposition and the oppo
nents of State wide prohibition have
taken courage and believe that they
can prevent the prohibition fight next
summer. The opponents of the referen
dum plan think tnat the State is inclined
to balk at stirring up the liquor question
at this time and letting well enough
alone.
Compul.ory Education.
The compulsory education forces are
in the majority and the only issue now
is whether the Evans State-wide plan
is to be adopted or the Manning
Swearingen county option is to prevail.
The Senate has reported favorably on
the Sinkler local option plan of intro
ducing compulsory educahon, and un
favorably on the Carlisle bill, which
embodies the ideas prepared by Super
intendent Evans. There is another
bill by Mr. Harper and Senator Lee,
which is slightly different from that of
Senator Sinkler. Under the Manning-
Swearingen measure the State will
have State-wide compulsory education,
but upon a petition of the majority of
the qualified voters, the statute would
be inoperative for a definite period,
thereby bringing about what is known
as local Option. The ages in the bills
are practically the same, requiring
school attendance for a certain period
between the ages of 8 and 13 years.
Farm, on Ea.y Term*.
There havebeen various propositions
from time to time.looking to the own
ership of small farms by the people of
the State. Mr. Graydon of Abbeville,
after much thought, has prepared a bill
which he thinks means much along this
line and is going to press it at this ses
sion. The principal idea of his sugges
tion is that a land commission should
be selected and that this commission
should acquire desirable farm lands
and dispose of the lands on easy terms
to people who really wish to become
owners of their farms. .
