INTERESTING PHASES
OF CLUB WORK

Clemson College, Feb. 2.-The an
nual report of l.. l.. Baker, super
vising agent of boys club work, for
1921 shows some interesting phases
of decided educational value, such as
community organization. encamp-
ments and short courses, exhibits at
state and county fairs, dealings with
banks, the use of purebred seed and
purebred animals, ETC., things which
make club work worth while, regard
less of the monetary value OF club
work.
The community club method OF con-
ducting boys club work was tried out
for the first time in 1921 and proved
a most satisfactory method from all
angles, particularly because OF It's
educational effect upon tie members
in training them to transact their own
affairs and learn the value of coop
Grafton. There were j community
clubs. with total membership of I44.
These clubs held 245 meetings carry
ing out monthly programs and in
structions furnished by club leaders.
The wisdom Of the community ciuh
plan is borne out by the returns OF
county agents, the most efficient work
having been done IN those counties
which have had community "rsaniza :

There were ten short courses and
encampments combining instruction
and pleasure, atte.!i"d Dy 80 c!r!

Columbia, Feb. 7.-When the leg
islature began work Tuesday on the
fifth week Of the session so much that
must be accomplished remained to be
done that all prospect Of adjournment
within the 40-day period went by the
board. Of all the revenue measures
which. have passed the house, only two
have succeeded in running the gaunt-
let of the senate. AS the fifth week
started the senate still had to act on
the two corporation license tax bills,
the income tax bill, the hydrO-elec-
trio power tax bill, the bill taxing
moving picture theatres and the luz
ury tax bill. This latter has not yet
passed the house, bein gthe only one
Of the new revenue measures to meet
with opposition in the lower body.
Determined OPPOSITION for all OF the
revenue bills is beng encountered in
the senate, however, and it appears
likely that some OF them may meet
their Waterloo in the upper body.
The income tax bill came from the
finance committee Tuesday night with
a divided report, the majority making
several amendments, among which
was the exemption of insurance COM
panies from the provisions OF the bill.
4 minority of the committee recon-
mend that a reduction Of 50 per cent,
be made in the rates.
The income tax bill is closely mod
eled after the federal law and contains
practically the same provisions as tc
exemptions, deductions and ether de-
tails the main difference being in the
rates of taxation. Under the bill in its'
present shape every person who must
make return must pay minimum
tax of $500 in addition to the other
taxes levied Single persons having
an income Of $1,000 and married per-
sons having an income of S2,500 or
more must make a return.
Amount Of Tax.
The following table will give some
idea Of the rates which are levied un-
der the bill in it's present form:
Amount Of Single Married Married
Income. Person. Person. With 3
The dispatch-news. [volume] (Lexington, S.C.) 1919-2001, 1922-02-08
Revenue Bills Are Meeting -.
Opposition In State Senate

recommend a rate which will be just
one-tenth Of the federal rates, which
it is estimated would yield only about
$500, 100000 revenue this year.
The present rates in the bill are es-
timated to raise about three times that
much. The income tax. measure is
the chief reliance Of those who have
hopes of reducing the tax on general
property. Under the plan proposed
by them it will be the chief means of
raising revenue for the state govern
ment.
No one yet knows what will be the
final disposition Of the gasoline and
kerosene tax bill. It was passed by
the house last year carrying tax Of
one cent a gallon on gasoline, kero-
sen and lubricatnig oils. The senate
raised the tax on gasoline to two cents
and eliminated kerosene and other
oils. The bill has been sent back to
the house. 1t will proba bly,. have to
be threshed out on free conference.
Other Measures.
There are numerous other import
ant measures on the calendars of both
houses, some of which will doubtless
be left unacted upon. The bill fixing
the hours Of cotton mill employees at
55 per week has been passed by the
house and is now before the senate.
The bill which abolished the present
railroad commission, or rather added
four new members to the railroad
commission, allowing the old members
TO serve out their present terms, but
adding four new members, to be elect
ed by the legislature, was passed by
the senate, and is now before the
house. The present railroad COM
mission and the public service COM
mission are combined under the terms
of the bill.
Several bills are now before both
bodies having to do with the state
highway department. Opposition to
the highway department, however, is
expected to take little different turn
since the resignation Tuesday Of Mr..
Moorfield, chief engineer. Friends Of
the department are hope :. [ that Mr..
Moorefield's resignation will clarity
the atmosphere considerably and that
attempts to abolish the department
will not hereafter be pushed with
such vigor.
Another important measure is
bill to provide suitable body to take
over the Columbia canal as soon as
the litigation concerning this import
ant property has come 70 a close,
which is expected to be at avery early
date: The present canal corsmission,
which has practically succeeded in
recovering the canal from the SState,
will have ended its work with the I>c-
mination of the suit for recovery. TheN
Legislature must designate some body
to take over and administer the prop
erty when it comes into possession of
the state. There ought to be consid-
erable revenue to be derived from the
canal. '.
The legislature will probably be in
