LEGISLATURE NOW
DOING OVERTIME

Columbia, Feb. 21 1.-While the
regular 40 days which are supposed
to be allotted for the Legislative ses-
sion have slipped into history the leg
islature is still bravely talking away
and getting nowhere.
The general appropriation bill
passed final reading in the house last
Friday night and is now before the
senate finance committee, which is
daily holding hearings and preparing
to shape the, bill to meet the senates
approval.
No progress has been made in the
senate towards final disposition of
the various revenue measures passed
by the house. The income tax bill
was referred to special committee,
which is reporting tonight. The lux
ury tax bill, which received an un-
favorable report from the finance
committee. was tonight recommitted
to the finance committee. This may
mean a disposition on the part Of the
senate to give more favorable consid-
Grafton to the measure than was at
first thought.
The legislature will certainly be in
session two weeks longer and present
three weeks more.
