Washington. May 30-The soldier
bonus bill, passed yesterday by the
House, 289 to 90, will be received to-
morrow by the Senate. The nasure
will follow the regular course and be
referred to a committee.
Inasmuch as a recess and possibly
adjournment will be taken by Con-
gress Saturday until after the political
conventions, the bonus bill seems
doomed to a. long sleep in the Senate
committee. If recess is taken, lead
ers do not contemplate reconvenins
until about September I. Some Sen
ators are quite frank in saying that
the bill will never get any further and
that tornorrow's reference to a COM
mittee will in fact be an "iuternent. ;"
Opposition to soldier relief has been
more pronounced in the Senate than
in the House, where yesterdays
vote showed only forty Republicans
and ffty-two Democrats recorded
against the measure. Tax provisions
of the bill are considered particularly
odious bysa number of members of the
Senate.

court TO-DAY upheld the constitution
aIity of the Lever act and overruied
demurrers to indictments against four
wholesale grocers and one retail mer-
chant. charged with profiteering in
sugar sales.
In his opinion, Judge Foster ruled
that the price fixing provision in the
Lever act is not unconstitutional.
Through their attorneys, the defend
ants had filed demurrers attacking the
right Of the government to set price
for sugar.
All the men were arrested recently
by agents of the department Of justice
charged with profiteering and were
indicted by the federal grand jury.
The decision means that the de-
fendants will have to stand trial on the
profiteering charges.

STOCK LA w IN
CREASES WEALTH
Free Range Stock Cause Great
Damage to Forests

Columbia, May % That the live
stock law enacted by the recent gen.
eral assembly will save to the State OF
South Carolina thousands of dollars
in the next few years is the opinion
expressed by members of the South
Carolina Tax Commission after a brief
conference In Columbia this week with
of the 1umbermens
association of the State, the conference
being called for the purpose OF dis
|eussing a number Of taxation matters
with the commission.
The point; stressed by the lumber
men is that hogs and other animals
that have run at large heretofore in
many counties caused heavy losses to
the State ia the destruction Of trees
and growing plants. The lunbermen
mentioned particularly one kind OF
animal that has in the free-range coun
ties caused much loss to trees. the
razor back hog or pine -rooter, as
ne is called IN the lower part Of the
State. This animal roots. into the
ground and eats o4fffsl o4fff tile nuts thai
grow on the roots OF the trees. the
lumber men state, and thus kill fhe
trees. One hog can kill twenty trees
week: it was stated
3 The tar commission was met by a
large delegation of lumber dealers, IN
strncted by a recent State convention
of lumber men ito handle certain mat
tiers with the Commission. The main
point before the lumber men with re-
gard to the making Of returns on their
property was logs or the lumber made
from the logs should be returned for
i taxation. The ruling of the commits
sion was that the law requires the re-
turn on the logs, in that it specifies the
manufacturers shall return on arti-
.cles purchased for the purpose OF
manufacture.
Members of the tax commission
state that the return of lumber plants
this year will show large increase
Soyer last year. Members Of the lam
Der delegation stated that they were
pleased with the work Of the commis-
sion in putting all manufactures on
the tax books On the same basis. The
tax commission is making special ef-
forts now to get all manufacturing es-
tablishments assessed for taxation on
the basis of 42 per cent Of full prop
serty value.

Unless the striking clerks can justi-

number Of business men in Sumter
