TO PASS CHILD LABOR BILL
THIS SESSION OF CONGRESS-
President Wilson Has Notified the
Lawmakers That He Wishes AN
Immediate Action on This
Important Measure.

Washington July 26.--Yielding
to an urgent request from Presi-
dent Wilson, Democrats of the Sen
ate in caucus, have determined to
pass the child labor bill at this ses-
sion of Congress.
The decision was reached after a
long debate during which several of
the Southern Senators whose oppo-
site forced the measure out of the
imperative legislation program that
was drawn up several days ago, Wig
orously objected to its reinstatement
at this time The final determina-
tion to include it was reached with
out a record vote. 1t will displace
the shipping bill on the Senate cal
endar, coming up as soon as the ar
my District of Columbia appropria-
tions have been passed. The ship
ping measure will follow it in order,
and the revenue bill will come next.
Majority Leader Kern outlined to
the caucus the Presidents earnest
request for a vote on the child labor
bill before adjournment and read a
flood of kilograms from influential
citizens throughout the country re-
questing its passage.
Southern Senators replied, insist
ing that the caucus stand on its for
mer decision postponing considera-
ton Of TIE measure until December.
They appealed for a declaration Of
principle that the child labor bill
should be taken out OF politics and
revealed the fact that negotiations
had been made with some of the Re-
publican Senators after the recent
Democratic caucus a few days ago
with a view to reaching an agree
ment for taking up the bill next ses-
sion as a strictly nOn-partis2n meas
IRE.
These plans, it was asserted in the
caucus. were progressing favorably
until President Wilson went to the
capitol week ago and made known
to administration leaders his em-
phatic desire for immediate action
on child labor legislation Republi-
can Senators who had agreed to let
the bill go over then notified the
Democrats, is was said, that they
could not agree to delay.

Since my discharge because OF

ating expenses. Willmering's month
ly expense account for entertain
ments, etc. has amounted to more
than my former salary.
Mr.. Merchant. do you want to put
in the high office of Corporation
Commissioner whose duties are to
regulate and control the public utli-
tiles, a man who will sell out at
price in the middle of an investiga-
tion? His physical inventory report
was suppressed and never filed
Why, then, does Col. Jack Love
endorse Willmering, you may ask?
will tell you why Col. Jack has
always controlled the Commission by
reason of having one plant man with
him on all things. That is the rea-
son he so strongly endorsed A. p.
Watson during his last campaign.
.ie wanted to continue to control the
Commission. but the Legislature in
terfered slightly with his arrange
ment by removing Mr. Watson from
office, which is evidence that Col.
Jacks endorsement is not at all
times unquestionable. With two
places to be filled now there is dan
ger of Col. Jacks losing control of
the Commission He knows, as he
knew when he endorsed Watson,
that if Willmering gets in he still
has control, and as he KNOWS Will
mering ne knows he can control
him, AND THE OKLAHOMA GAS &
ELECTRIC COMPANY KNOWS 1T
lean AND DOES CONTROL BOTH.
II is reported that Willmering's
most important campaign headquar
ters are maintained at the Commits
sion office, and that all literature and
letters of endorsement are dictated
and written by employees of the Cor
poration Commission on the regular
pay roll. 1t is generally understood
among the employees of the Commits
sion that their positions depend up
on their support of Willmering's can
didacy.

STATE WILL SAVE LARGELY
By Refunding Its Debt--DetafIs
OF the Plan.

OIL the Plan.
Bids for refunding part of the
State debt, amounting to S., 600. 900,
under the terms of the refunding
act of 1912, have been called for by
the sinking fund commission. The
commission decided Saturday to in
sert an advertisement for bids which
will be opened February l6.
The new bonds will be issued in
place of the brown consols and will
bear per cent interest, which is
one-half per cent less than the State
is now paying. 1t is estimated that
the State will save about $4,000 to
S25, 900 year by the transaction.
The bonds are to be sold for not less
than par.
Under the refunding act passed
in 1912, no provision is made for
exempting from taxation that part
of banks investment in the new
bonds. The brown consols are ex-
empt from taxation.
When Gov Manning was in New
York he was informed by bankers
that it would be impossible to re-
fund the South Carolina bonds at
per cent. Tennessee and several
other States, it was pointed out, had
to pay more than 4 per cent for re-
funding their bonds. Gov Manning
has had the matter under considera-
ton for some time and has been in
correspondence with prospective in
vestors.
PURCHASER AT FOUR PER CENT.
Several days ago on investment
concern in the North made an offer
for the new bonds. The firm offer
ed to pay par and allowed 4 per cent
interest. The firm stipulated that
their offer must be kept private.
Gov Manning called the members
of the sinking fund commission to-
gether. He told the commission
that he would not agree to make
any private award but would con-
sent to a sale of the bonds after
bids had been called for by proper
advertisements. A majority of the
members agreed to this and at the
meeting yesterday the commission
decided to issue the call for bids.
A committee composed of Gov
Manning, S T Carter, State Treasur-
er, and Carlton w Sawyer, Comp
troller General, was appointed to-
prepare the advertisement and have
it inserted in the proper papers
NEW BONDS ARE TAXABLE.
Members of the commission esti-
mate that South Carolina banks
hold about 100000 of the brown
consol bonds. These investments
are exempted from taxation: The
new bonds will be placed on the tax
books and the State will realize
about S25, ZOO a year.
Following the passage of the bond
refunding act in 1912. a test case
was brought in the supreme court.
The act was held to be constitutional.
The brown consol bonds were issued
in 1892 for 40 years with the option
of the State to call them in after ~
years. In 1912 the State had the
right to call in the honds, with the
result that the refunding act was
passed. About seven-elghths of the
States debt is in the brown consol
bonds.
The new honds to be issued Will
run for 40 years and will become
optional at the end of 20 years. The
bonds will be sinking fund bonds
and will be issued in denominations
of $500 and $1,000 or multlples
