Messrs, Delssr and Dlek t? nnd (mi
what ipeelal work they would under?
take at tiii.s sssslon of the general as?
sembly, Messra Bpps s?x??l Clifton
wsfs both "ut of town yesterday and
could ?!"# bs ssen tins morning before
they i? tt. m their Ideas for legislation
wet o not obis ned.
Mr. Deiner stated tint he wuld ex?
pend his sfforti first and foremost to
hav<? a i'iii passsd regulating nnd
equalising I exec throughout ths State,
s? as to maks tho tax system an
sourtablc one tor everybody,
The n? xi moot Important i>icco of
legislation which ho contemplated
Wal thS tStnl llshmcnl of a Sttite high?
way Commission, a StSp toward the
Improvement of the public roadi and
ths securing or federal aid in the
building of l uads.
Other hin.-? to which ho would as*
podally lend his sfforti were those
rslatlng to primary reforms ami reg?
ulation, compulsory education, and
the fixing of a dellnte policy for the
iovemmenl and conduct of the state
Hospital for the Insane. A matter of
local legislation which he would work
on wag th" matter of re-snnexatlon
? ' ).? j aii of Lea county which had
rie-mly \oted to this effect. \\ hile
these matters would be sspeclally
looked after by him, he would, of
CO rue, give his attention to other
matters of Importance, SS they came
up.
Dr. Dick Stated that, as chairman of
thi* ways and means committee, he
would lend his especial attention to
the matter of beeping down ths
budget -ii the appropriation bill.
in tins connection it will he of hv
terest to the people of Vumtcr to
know thai Dr. Dick has paid two
Visits to Columbia recently in the
checking up ef the account! of the
clerk to the sinking fund commission
the ? rdlnary sinl Ing fund, the re?
demption fund and ti-.e Insurance
fun . and has gone over Ihs list of
expensea for tue Htats during the past
year, Including Hems ranging from
ssventy?flvs cms to ninety-eight thou*
rand dollars, Ihs sum mounting up
ie a; |y u million dollars.
"During tho sight years while i
have been on the committee," Dr.
Dlek Stated, "thi taX levy h ? POt b Ml
raised, although uns year It was low ?
ered for political purpose^ being
sgnln raised the next year.' This
j ear, i: ? undt ? ? i. ths budget would
be especially heavy and he would
work to keep the 1 vy down to what
it hr ?. !><? n heretofore.
He gtatsd that a greatd dsal of con*
fus on has i)e< n caused by the < xtrs
uns mill levj and. he we Id try to In?
clude this in ths general approprlu
i on iiiis year.
"I expect a bar i term for my com?
mitt ?.' *aid Dr. Dick, "especially ax
we have tost three of the best work
?: on the committee, Messra Rstn?
it of Columbia, .James of Darling?
t< ?, and Hchrosdsr of Charleston, all
of whom have died since 'he last ees?
slon."
Ths nnnual budge! ol expenses for
Sumter count] v. . nil I out last week
by the clerk to ihs board of commix
si' . :., uiol the supervisor and Sent
to the comptroller gent ral, in order
i n he e. n arrange for tin- necessary
levy this year. Ths levy for Bumter
ounty will probably bo tho tamo as
t was laat year, with tho possibility
i being a quart* r or half a cent less.
