BILL TO INCREASE SCHOOL
TAX VETOED IN ADVANCE
Marshall Sends Message to Assembly Calling Halt
Spending Uncollected Funds Senate and
House Hear Bills in Accordance

Representative Kleckner, democrat,
moved to reconsider the vote by which
the King bill was passed Monday. The
motion carried. in spite of Kings mo-
ton to table. There was a sharp fight
in the house when the bill was voted
on again, but the effort OF the demo-
Gratis 10 comply with the message was
successful and the bill failed to pass
There were so votes for 1t and 40
against it, Then Garrard moved to
reconsider the vote and lay that mo-
ton on the table. This is the way
vote is clinched. The motion carried
and the King bill was dead. as far as
the house was concerned.
senate Keeps the Bill.
But the bill had already been signed
by the speaker and sent to the senate.
Garrard moved that the bill be recalled
from the senate. This motion carried.
But when this request was received by
the senate there was a fight. The re-
publicans were opposed to returning
the bill to the house. They said it was
out of the hands of the house and that
il could not be recalled. Senator Wood
led the fight against returning it and
made a motion that 1t be not returned.
In this he was supported by Senator
Kirkman. who insists that if the bill is
passed by the senate and the governor
signs it, it will be law, because the
house had already given it over to the
senate for action.
The Wood motion carried and the
senate notified the house that 1t would
not give up the bill.
Now the question is whether the bill
will be legal if the senate passes it,
which it seems like to do, as the mat
ter is a strict party one. The repub-
lcans insist that it will.
But the senate may as well not fool
around with it, for even if it passes the
bill Governor Marshall will veto it. He
indicated as much by the message he
sent.
Marshall Carries the Day.
But this was not all. The senate,
yesterday afternoon. took up the bill
introduced by Senator Horace Han

urers to make advance payments of
taxes due the state before the regular

Gary Town Board Brings
Up Some Important
Matters.

Gary May Force Property Owners
to Improve Their Front
Yards.

OF interest to the various contractors
of Gary was the instructions issued by
the town trustees 10 the city attorney
to amend the present building ordi-
nance in such a manner as to provide
for concrete abuttments under any and
all foundations for buildings. This
amendment Will probably become
part Of the statute of requirements for
safe building construction in Gary IN
the future.
ASSURES safe Foundations.
The action OF the town board was
for the purpose Of assuring a safe
foundation for any size or kind Of
building This will probably alter the
present plans of some of the CON
tractors and plans which the archi-
tects are now preparing.
Another matter which was referred
to the city attorney to prepare as an
ordinance. was measure for the beau
tiheation Of the streets and front yards
of the city BY the terms Of the ordi-
nance. when it is.passed. the city will
be in a position to force the improve
ment of the streets by the planting Of
trees and of the Improvement Of the
front yards by the planting of grass.
This win be done in the same manner
as any other public Improvement.
Improvement Optional With City.
The Improvement Of the streets will
be optional with the city and they can
force action and then assess the bene-
fits and damages 1t IS believed that
in this manner the property owners
who are averse to improve their prop
erty at the present time, thus detract-
ing from the general appearance of
the street. can be forced to come to
time
The city also decided yesterday to
order the Gary Heat Water and Light
company to report to Chief Feeiey OF

Enforcement Of Prohibition.

Columbia, July 1.-THE question
has been asked, what is to be done,>by
the Governor towards the enfopce-
ment of prohibition during the. two
| weeks interregnum, and in those coun-
ties that might vote for prohibition in
, the August election. >oH!
The News and Courier representa-
tive asked Governor Arsel what his
views were concerning the enforce
ment of prohibition during the three
week period, and particularly in those
counties that might vote for prohibi-
ton and prior to the session Of the
General Assembly.
Governor AnseI is of the opinion
that Section 80 of the dispensary law
is applicable and furnishes all the law
that may be necessary, and he will
act on that line. The section reads:
"It shall be the duty of the sheriffa,
their deputies, magistrates, consta-
bles, rural police, city and town Off
cials, TO enforce tie provisions of this
+ Act. Ifthey fail to do 40, it is hereby
made the duty OF the Governor to en-
force the same, and he is hereby au-
thorized to- appoint such deputies,
constables and detectives as may be
necessary; the salaries and expenses
of such officers to be aid out of the
profits of The dispensaries in counties
wherein they may be established, and
out of the ordinary county funds in
counties wherein they have not been
established"
Governor Anscl expects to put cour-
ties that vote out the county dispen-
saries in August ON the same legal
status as Greenville, Spartanburg or
other counties that have 20 dispensa-
ries. The constables Rill be paid out
Of the county funds and any seizures
will he credited to The expense OF the
constables.

MORE WORK THAN ALL OTHERS
American Railroads Ourstrip the Rest
of the World In Handling
BunsineRA.

A recent compilation of railway statistics
OF the world is interesting. Figures may be
twisted to mean almost anything, but there
are some bald facts which are worth con-
templating. The railway mileage of the
world is distributed as follows: United
States, 227,000 miles; elsewhere, $4,000 miles.
But the railways Of British India are in a
class by themselves and II they be elimIn-
ated, this country has more mileage than
the rest of the world.
The cost of constructing our portion is
fixed at a little less than $13, 900, 900. 900, and
of the rest of the world almost $26, 900, 900, 900,
SO that the average cost in this country
is one-half that of the rest of the world.
This is partly accounted for by better con-
struction in Europe, larger cost Of right
of-way, terminals. and the like, but 1t is,
nevertheless, claimed that by a Just COM
p~arison with results. we get our roads much
cheaper according to money spent than the
rest Of the world. Our earning power Is
nearly as great as that of the roads of the
rest of the world, in spite of the fact that
we have about one-fifth Of the population
