PLAN BOND ISSUE
TO AID SCHOOLS

Chief among the food of new bills
introduced in the house yesterday
morning was the measure, sponsored
by f. G.. Harris of Spartanburg. J. X.
Bryson of Greeuvillc and I. J. Hen
Dirk or Duncan 10 provide a special
building fund to be loaned school dis
tricts in the state. No small voluma
Of business was transacted by the
house at it's single meeting. the great
er number of measures considered and
new bills introduced, however, being
of only local import.
The Harris-Bryson- Hendrix bill,
which was referred to the ways and
means committee, provides for the is
suance Of $10,000,000 in state bonds
by the state treasurer, these bonds to
5 per cent per annum. The proceeds
from the sale Of these bonds would be
kept rs a separate fund in the hands
Of the state treasurer to be paid out
upon the warrant of the state super
intcndent Of education with the ap-
proval and at the direction of the
state hoard Of education, which would
be empowered to make loans from the
fund to school districts for building,
equipping, repairing and enlarging
rublic school buildings and purchas-
ing suitable sites.
These loans would be made at the
request of the various county boards
Of education and would bear interest
at a rate not more than onc-half Of
one per cent higher than the rate
paid by the state on tho bonds issued.
The loan would also be evidenced by
the bonds Of The school district re-
urers would be authorized to levy a
special building fund TAX on such
school districts TO meet the annual
payments on the bonds and the inter
est due.
The state bonds, which would be
issued under the provisions Of the bill,
would be coupon bonds of the dcnom-
ination of $500 and $1,000 or larger
denomination and would be exempt
from all state, county and municipal
taxes. One-twentieth of the bonds SO
issued January, 1923, would fall due
January, 1924, another Goth January
l of each year thereafter until the
whole series has been paid. The loans
stos scheel sdistricts I'M like nlannsr=will
be payable in 20 equal annual Install
mcnts.
The plan, the authors of the bill
think, would result in considerable
saving to the state on its school build
ing program, the state bonds. they
point out, being more easily sold and
for a considerable lower rate Of in
tercst than the school district bonds.

of numerous amendments to the bill

others was the only action Of the
upper house last night.
The bill is a reenactment of all the
fish and game laws with some changes
here and there, the seasons being left
practically as they are in the pres
ent law. The hill drew forth plenty
Of debate and large number Of
amendments.
One amendment adopted provides
for revenue from the fur business in
the state, a label or tag being re-
Quired for each hide TO be shipped.
Senator jeremiah Smith said tre-
mcndous business Of this kind was
done in the low country and the tax

ira special wardcns to send into any

BONUS BILL PAID
BY SPECIAL TAX

Washington, Feb. S.-A tentative
estimate of $35O,OO0,OOO yearly as the
amount Of special taxes that must be
laid to finance the cash feature of the
proposed soldiers bonus legislation
was made today at an executive ses-
sion of majority members of the house
ways and means committee The en-
act amount that is to be determined
upon and the sources from which it
must come will be taken up tomorrow
hy n subcommittee headed by Chair.
man Fordney.
Committeeman said it was not the
intention to rely upon any part either
Of the interest or principal of the
British or other foreign debts. They
said that something around $3.50, ,0O6,-
600 year would take care of the cash
payments to he made over the two and
one-half years. period beginning ,Tanu-
airy I, 1923, and that the finding Of
definite and certain sources from
which to obtain this amount was their
immediate concern.
The $3.50 100000 estimate, it was
explained, was made on the basis of
figures presented at public hearings
by fiscal officers of the army, navy
and marine corps. These figures con-
templte so per cent Of the men who
served with the army and rs per cent
Of those who served with the navy
and marine corps elccting to take
cash. This figure may be revised as
the subcommittee studies the matter.
The first question before the tax
subcommittee will be that Of deciding
whether the total amount of tax rev.
vnue is to come from limited group
of sources or whether the taxes will
be spread over a wide field so as to
make the burden as light as posi-
BILE on those who have to pay. 1t was
said that there were two schools of
thought in the committee on this
question. Some members emphasized
it would be the purpose to so ar
range the tax program as to interfere
as little as possible with the recovery
of business.
There was said to be drift of senti-
ment in the committee for tax of
possibly one cent gallon on gasoline
and also a levy on the transfer Of
stocks and bonds. These are only two
of.a score Of suggestions and it was
made plain that there has been. no der
cision as to these or any others.

7 LAUSANNE CONFERENCE TAKES
ON WORLD PROMINENCE AS
ITS DATE NEARs
INTEREST or U. S. IS VITAL
United States Expected To Insist or
every Right OF Participation Ex-
cept Actual Voting

Lausanne.-Indications that the rep
resentatives of the United States gov
ernment viii take an active part in the
Near Eastern conference have sudden
ly given the conference great inter-
national Importance. America will not
only observe will speak, and speak
vigorously when she thinks the occa-
sion demands it, and, in a general way,
will insist on every right of participa-
ton enjoyed by other countries in all
things. except actual voting.
Such, the Associated Press under
stands. is the American position, and
1t is founded on the fact that the
United States. like the European pow
ers, possesses interests in Turkey and
upon the American conviction that the
United States cannot sit idly by and
allow other world nations to dispose
OF the future of the Turkish state
without taking into consideration the
views Of the United States.
The American ambassador to Italy,
Richard Washburn Child, and the
~~A~ANAASeAA AhAhAotC4 " 0W1tLOIldAug JO-
seph G. Grew, plan to attend all the
sessions of the conference, with Rear
Admiral Bristol joining them later.
The United States never declared war
on Turkes, and is not represented at
Lausanne to take part in the revision
OF the treaty of Sevres, but she has
a distinct interest In the question of
the Turkish capitulations and the free
dom of the straits.
Although it is too early to define
the position of the United States on
the various problems to be discussed
at the conference, there seemed every
prospect that the American representa-
dves, who lose their Characterization of
observers" and become full fIedged
delegates wish the reservation above
noted, will oppose any project to aban-
don the extra territorial privilege which
permits foreigners to be tried in foreign
courts in Turkey.

appear, with some promise of success.
