To the surprise of great many
people the bill of Mr.. Josh Ashley
! to abolish the department of immi-
grafton has a favorable report from
the committee. It was thought that
after the department had been estab-
lished that it would be given an op-
portunity to see what it could accom-
plish, and that no fight would be
made on it at this time 1t is hardly
probable that the bill will pass the
house and if it does it will stand but
little show in the senate.
Mr.. Josh Ashley who has been
known for many year as the friend OF
the "yaller" dog has introduced bill
to repeal the dog license law passed
last session and which has not yet
gone into effect.
The house has passed bill to re-
ouire license to deal in seed cotton,
the license fee to be to SIS in the
discretion of the county commission
ers.
