GENERAL ASSEMBLY
REPEALS FILING FEE
In CLOSING SESSION
Continued from Page One)


will amount to $36O,OOO a year and
nothing will be received from filing
fes which will leave a net loss to
the school fund of S490,00O a year.
Officers of the State tax depart
ment declined to discuss the bill on
the ground that as they had been
unable to secure copies of the meas
ure repeating the filing fee, they
were unable to express an opinion.
Some doubt was expressed as to
whether the law will stand because
it does not repeal certain sections
of the income or school tax law
which mentions the filing fee.
Secretary of State Grantland
expressed the opinion that the bill
does abolish the filing fee. He
says Article of the bill eliminates
Section 10, Article 8, of the in
come tax law, which provides for
payment of filing fee.
Section 10 or Article 3 of the
State school tax law which is re-
pealed by Section 5 of the bill, fol-
lows:
Section 10. Upon filing the an
nual return provided for under
Articles One, Two and Three of
this Act, the taxable shall pay to the
Tax Department a filing fee of three
dollars. The Tax Department shall
not receive and file a return until
said filing fee is paid, and the offer
to file such return without paying
such fee shall not be construed to
be a compliance with the require
ment to file a return and shall not
relieve a taxable from the penal
ties provided for failure to file
such return"
1t has been intimated that legal
question may be raised to determine
whether or not the filing fee pay
ment is abolished.
Others who are familiar with the
measure as passed are of the opin-
ion that the only question which
could be raised in reference to the
validity of the law is the question
of whether it complied with the
state constitution which requires
that the title of a bill shall set forth
its object.
Under the law, Governor Robert
P. Robinson has thirty days IN
which to consider these bills. II he
signs them within that time they
will become laws of the State but
if he does not sign them they die
The governor is considering a num-
ber of bills which have been passed
by the legislature and is not likely
to reach a decision for sometime
The graded income tax BILL which
also contained a provision abolish
ing the SO filing fee died in SEN
ate committee. The vested tax DILL
an amendment to the school tax
bill, also died in Senate committee

SIXTEEN SENATORS ASK
The GOVERNOR TO VETO
FILING FEE REPEALER
CONTINUED from first pageJ

the members of the Senate who
were spoken to declared that they
did not know that the bill repealed
the filing fee.
Lieutenant Governor ]. Hall An
derson who was presiding over the
Senate session in the last hours
when the bill was passed declared to
friends that he did not know that
the bill repealed the filing fee and
that the portion which did repeal
the filing fee was merely a section
repeating certain other sections and
would not be particularly noticed
unless they were explained.
President Protein Allen declared
that he did not know that he was
voting for the repeal of the filing
fee when he voted for the tax board
bill.
Il certainly did not know that
the bill that I voted for contained
the provision for the repeal of the
filing fee" said Mr.. Allen, "and 1 do
not think that there were more
than three Senators there, who did
know it. The bill was read, of
course, but the section that repeals
the filing fee, was referred to only
by the section of the code. Natur-
ally, the Senators were expecting to
find the repealment of the filing fee
in the other bill, and not being fa-
miliar with the code by section num-
bers, voted for the tax board bill,
without realizing that they were re-
pealing the filing fee.
eat least that is the way I felt
about it, and I think the rest of the
Senators understood it that way. I
know that some of the Senators are
considerably irritated about the
matter.
1t was voted upon about twelve
o'clock and with our eyes on the
graduated income tax bill, which we
were against, we voted for the bill
creating the tax board with the idea
that it was a good bill.
Naturally there was reference to
the repeal of that section of the
code which covers the filing fee, but
IL was dlluuGu " ulGlGly dS d bGC-
tiOn of the code, and that is the
way we were fooled. I'll admit that
1 was fooled, and I know that each
of the nine Democratic Senators
was against the repeal of the filing
fee. If it had been generally known
that the bill contained the repeal of
the filing fee, 1 am confident that it
would not have received more than
three votes"
Senator w. A. SimontOn declared
that he did not know that the bill
repealed the filing fee and did not
believe that the majority of the
State Senate knew it. There was no
explanation to that effect made in
the Senate when the bill was passed,
he declared.
Senators Latchum and Harry Dep
uty, of Milford, both voted against
the bill.
Pierre S. DUPONT, State Tax Com
missioner, states that he knew the
repeater was contained in the bill
passed.

SALE OF PATRONAGE
CHARGED IN HOUSE
Representative Stevenson Asserts
Civil Service Commission Confirms
Accusation of Corrupt Practice.

Representative Stevenson, Demo-
crat, South Carolina, announced in
the House yesterday that the Civil
Service Commission had advised him
1T had obtained evidence of the sale
of patronage in his State.
Although this was all he said on
the subject on the floor, he later made
public a letter signed by John T.
Doyle, secretary of the commission,
which said that $500 had been paid to
a South Carolina postmaster to Sc
cure appointment for two men.
The letter said the report of the
commissions investigation had been
transmitted to the Postmaster Gen
eral.
The letter was in reply to a. charge
by Stevenson that money had been
used in obtaining certain Federal ap.
pointments in the State. In his speech
in the House Mr. Stevenson denied
that Southern States were multiplying
the Constitution by depriving negroes
of the right to vote. He said the quail
fications were the same for both the
negroes and whites, but that the ne
groes had stopped voting because they
had found it didn't do them any good.
Mr.. Stevenson also asserted that he
hoped the Senate would not be STAN
peded as a result of the primary cam
paign scandal"
Refraining from mentioning any
one by name, he said that the SOW
ereign States had a right to elect
whom they pleased, and that under the
Constitution neither the Senate nor
the House should question the qualifi-
cations OF a member until after he
had been given his seat.

ANDREWS ADVISED
TO STAND BY GUNS
Paint Makers Say Present
Alcohol Formula Is Right
.0ne to Maintain.

AS bills and resolutions continue to
be offered in Congress to get at the
bottom OF the need for poisonous in
gradients in industrial alcohol, some
Of the leading commercial users Of
this product have come to the defense
of existing denaturing formulas as
protective alike of governmental and
lawful business interests"
The National Paint, Oil and Narnish
Association yesterday appointed to AS
sistant Secretary Andrews to stand
by your guns" in the present contro-
verSy.
In a. telegram to the dry chief, II. s.
Chatfield, chairman of the association s
industrial alcohol committee, said der
natured alcohol is an essential raw ma
terial in the paint. oil and varnish
trades; that q five per cent wood alco~
hol denatura had been used In this
country for nearly 90 years as against
10 per cent in England, and that any
change in the formula without con-
sultation with representatives of in
dustries interested would be unwar-
ranted.'
Stayton Raps Gary.
The name of Ebert II. Gary Of the
United States Steel Corporation has
entered in the latest prohibition de-
bate, with w. II. Stayton, national
chairman of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment, assailing
his views that American workmen
had benefited under the Volstead act.
Declaring he did not question the
right or duty of the corporation to do
it could to increase the ef-
fectiveness of it's employees work. Mr..
Stayton said: when a corpora ton
asks the Government to intervene and
to deprive workman of his pleasures
and amuSementS, or even Of his bad
habits, in order that the corporation
and its stockholders may get better
results from its workmen, 1t is tread
ing on very dangerous ground"
Deets Pickett, research secretary
of the Board of Temperance Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, has added
his views on the industrial alcohol
question, declaring that certain wet
politicians" who are now raising a
big cry over poison alcohol deaths
are working night and day to re-es-
tablish a Government licensed trade
in alcoholic beverages, which before
prohibition caused the death of APP
proximately $4,000 American citizens
