Gov. Manning Hears Argument
Against Act Proposing Tax ON An.
tomobiles.
Columbia, March .S0.--Eleven citi.
citizens Of Clarendon county appear
ing before Gov. Manning at public
hearing yesterday urged that he veto
the act Of the last legislature which
provides for q graduated tax on auto
mobiles. Charlton DuRant. member
Of the senate from Clarendon coun-
ty appeared in support Of the meas-
ure. ie said that the act had been
passed with the Endorsement of the
county delegation, but that he was
willing to stand responsible for Il.
Among those who opposed the act
were: Coward Green. w. Nj. Plow-
den. 3. M. Hardy, A. c. Bradham, ].
w. Wideman, c. M. Davis, J. s. Dick
son. ]. M. McKinsie. II. A. Richbourg,
7. II. Buddin and j. H. DuBose. The
main argument for the opposition was
made by ]. X. Breedin, editor Of the
Manning Herald.
The Clarendon act provides for
graduated tax on automobiles, the
proceeds to be used in dragging the
roads and In making minor repairs
Mr.. Breedin said that the proposed
tax was discriminatory in that it only
provided for automobiles. This is
an unjust tax" said Mr.. Breedin, ''in
that automobiles do not damage the
roads," He said that log wagons had
cut up several sections Of the roads.
and that the wagons were not taxed.
He claimed that the roads will not be
benefited from dragging. 1.-THE act
lacks the first essential Of equity" he
added.
II am willing to assume the entire
responsibility for the act" said Sem
ator DuRant. He urged the govern
or to sign the measure, and pointed
out that automobile tax laws had
been passed for several other Sec
ti0ns OF the State.
After hearing all arguments the
governor took the matter under ad-
visemept.
