GOVERNOR SIGNS
REVENUE MEASURES
INHERITANCE AND GASOLINE
ACTS NOW LAW
Low Country Game Preserve Bill
Also Gets Signature-Hearings
on Others
The Satte, "a.

Ile SdIIS, Gf.
Governor Cooper yesterday signed
the inheritance tax and the gasoline
tax acts, these being the first of the
new revenue measures to become law.
The governor strongly recommend
ed the measures in his annual message
and when the bills were passed by
the general assembly and ratified he
did not hesitate to afix his signature
to them.
The gasoline tax provides for tive
cents a gallon on every gallon se'A
or distributed in South Caro- IA,
which, it is estimated, will bring in
around $175,0O0 a year or maybe a
little more. One-half of the money
collected from the tax will go into
the general fund and one-half to the
counties for road maintenance and
construction.
The inheritance tax is not calculat-
ed to bring in much revenue this year
as the retroactive feature for 1921 as
originally contemplated was stricken
out. However, the act will bring in
from s15O,OO0 to 100000 a year af-.
ter this year, according to estimate.
These two measures are the first
real important acts to be signed by
the governor this year. Another meas
ure of Importance to the low country
that was signed yesterday was the
game preserve bill providing for a
tx ca all persons, firms, corporations,
ETC., holding more than 500 acres Of
land as game preserves. The tax is
ten cents an acre up to 10000 acres,
25 cents an acre from $4,000 acres to
$4,000 acres, and above $4,000 acres,
SO cents an acre. The tax is to re-
main in the county where collected.
The governor heard parties inter-
ested in the university trustee bill
and the Gerald arbitration bill yes
terday. He heard a number Of par
ties interested in both measures. The
chief executive is inclined to veto the
trustee bill, it is understood. The
Wells tax extension resolution is also
in the governors hands as are num-
Der of other measures ratified yester-
day.

Some time ago The Herald and
News printed some fire alarm cards
for Hal kohn. Mention was made of
this, at the time. Hal states that ne
wants every home in the fire limit to
have one of these cards and will be
glad to give them to any home re-
quest;ng one. These cards are SO
arranged that each fire alarm number
is easily found, so that when the fire
bell rings you can instantly tell where
the fire is. They also give the telc-

an alarm to turn in and are very val
liable in every respect.

COMMITTEE PLACE
GIVEN TO GROSS
SUCCEEDS CHRISTENSEN AS
CHAIRMAN
Warm Speeches Against Statement
Of Beaufort Senator. Resignation
Accepted
The State, %.

The State, p.
Following dramatic speeches by
Senators McColl, Bonham and Ham
ilton in which they strongly resented
what they termed Implications, if not
charges, brought by Senator Christen-
sen in his resignation, that business
had won in the senate" the senate
Yesterday accepted the resignation OF
Mr.. Christensen as chairman of the
finance committee and then elected
Senator H. II. Gross Of Dorchester to
succeed him as the leader Of the most
important senate committee. The
Beaufort senator made it plain that
he would insist on his resignation.
Senator Gross was the second rank
mo member Of the committee, Sen
ator Johnstone of Newberry being the
ranking member, but he declined to
serve, telling the senate that he did
not feel that he could bear the work
REGARDLESS of the honor and pleasure
it would bring to him to lead the
committee.
After the morning session had gone
for about an hour, Senator Johnstone
called the resignation of Mr.. Chris
tensen to the attention of the senate,
declaring that Senator Christensen
had made it plain to the finance COM
mittee that he would not withdraw his
resignation.
Exception to Words
Senator McColl of Marlboro took
exception to the language used by Mr..
Christensen in submitting his reslg-
nation, declaring that this was the
third time in four years that the SEN
ate had been condemned by a person
in high responsibility. He said the
statement that business was dlctat-
inc to the senate was unjustifiable
and not true and put the senate IN an
improper and false light before the
people of South Carolina. Mr.. McColl
said because the senate failed to agree
with the finance committee or the
chairman was no reason why the
chairman should withdraw.
Senator McColl said the chairman
Of a great committee had no right to
withdraw on the eve of the considera-
ton of the appropriation bill and he
went into an explanation of how the
appropriations had increased in the
last few yea1s and how he had op-
posed these increases. The fact that
the senate did not agree with Mr..
Christensen was no reason for his
RESIGNATION, Mr.. McColl said. To say
that the senate was servile to one ~
terest was not true, Mr.. McColl de-
clared.
Senator Bonham said he agreed
largely with the remarks of Mr.. Nc
Coll and declared he couldn't see how
the senate could be made up Of more
representative men. He said he re,
sented the statement that the senate
had forsaken the soil and surrender
ed to business and thought this state
ment meant that the senate chad sold
out to business" Mr.. Bonham said
that after such remarks and attitude
on the part of Mr.. Christensen he

thought the only thing to do would be
to demand the resignation of Mr..
Christensen if he had not resigned.
Senator Bonham said when such dis
cord arose in a committee it was time
to seek a new leader and that he
thought there was more than one good
mind in the senate.
Not For Business
Senator JohnstCne said he refuted
the statement Monday night that bus
mess had won over agriculture and
that Mr.. Christensen had said that he
did not mean The words in the light
they had been taken. He said he
agreed with Mr.. Duncan that no one
man or committee could run the sem
ate. He entered into an explanation
of past appropriation bills and said he

ties IN increasing the bills and did no.

sib'lity on Mr.. Christensen.
Senator Hamilton said h was lot

but the people Of Chester conn.y. lie
said it Looked to him like the zen:.te

te1>cn, 'ut that Mr.. Christie. had
lost confidence in the senate. He de-
clared that he. would not be willing
to swallow tax program that might
be framed by just anybody, one that
he didn't agree with, and that might
have been proposed by somebody in
Chicago who did not know conditions
here. He declared that he could not
accept the statement that the senate
had been won by business.
During the remarks Of Senator Nc
Coll, Senator Padgett of Colleton sug-
gested that the remarks might be
more appropriate if Mr.. Christensen
were present. Mr.. McColl said it was
! source of regret, to him that Mr..
Christensen was not present and that
he had so stated at the outset. Mr..
McColl then reiterated that he
thought the resignation. a 'slap" at
the senate, made unwisely, i'll advised
and when Mr.. Christensen was "un-
der fire."
Prior to the speeches of Senators
McColl, Bonham and Hamilton, Sena-
tor Hart declared he did not want to
see the resignation accepted. He said
Mr.. Christensen had done a great
work and he did not believe that the
defeat of any Of the tax measures was
reputation of the chairman of the
finance committee.
! Several motions to have a commit
tee confer with Mr.. Christensen were
made, but the motion of Senator Bon
nam 10 accept LHe IeSlSIldI dIioil Will le-
grets prevailed.
! Immediately after the resignation
of Mr.. Christensen was accepted
Senator Laney nominated Senator
Alan Johnstone Of Newberry to sue
ceed Mr.. Christensen. Several SEN
ators secnoded the nomination, but
Mr.. tombstone asked to be relieved
from serving and his request was
granted.
Senator Gross was then nominated
and elected by a unanimous vote.
Senator Gross was the next ranking
, member after Senator Johnstone.
Senator Gross is banker and
planter Of Dorchester county and has
been a member of the senate since
1913. He has been chairman of the
committee on fish, game and forestry
for number Of years and is one of
the most popular members of the
