Amending His Own Bill.
Speaker Byrd Extending Scope CT
the Famous Byrd Bill.

A Richmond dispatch says: Elk
tending slightly the zone of absolut,
prohibition, eliminating the near-bee
section, prohibiting saloons within
certain number of feet of institution.
of learning and adding to the qualif
cations of the person to whom The
license to sell intoxicating liquors is
issued, Speaker Richard Evelyn BryC
has introduced in the House a bill
amending and re-enacting the far
famed Byrd liquor law of 1908.
While this bill is of secondary inn
portance, in the minds of the legisla
tors, to the measures referring to the
revenues of the State, it will arouse the
greatest interest with the people al
large. This is true because in all pro
liability it is the bill which will per.
haps with amendments pass the Gen
eral Assembly and be the law of the
State for the next two years. 1t is the
| final word on the subject on the part
of the Speaker, who led the forces OF
temperance at the last session, and
wrote the Byrd bill on the statute
books of the State.
The important changes in the EXIST
ing law as indicated above, are four
in number. First, it provides that no
Incense to sell Intoxicating liquors
shall be issued in towns of less than
one thousand population. The existing
law in this respect applies to towns of
less than five hundred people. This
part of the bill, it is understood, will
affect only one town in the State, there
being at present only one place between
500 and 1000 people which has a sa-
loon, and the town in question has
only one.
Secondly, the near-beer section is cut
out entirely. There will be hereafter
no law under which manufacturers of
beer with small fractional amounts of
alcohol can sell their product in dry
communities. The law as to the sale
of cider is modified only slightly.
In the third place, the bill prohibits
saloon within 400 feet of any school,
college or university in the state
Lastly, it provides that the person
to whom license is issued must be only
a citizen and qualified voter in the
community, but must pay taxes on
either real or personal property.
That there will be opposition to this
bill in committee and on the floor of
the House there can be little doubt 1t
is believed, however, that at the end of
the scrimmage the Speaker will be at
the top with his bill made law.
An important change in the bill is
that increasing the taxation on LIQUOR.
The standing of social clubs, holding
them down to territory where Igor is
licensed, remains the same.

Congress Will Investigate.

Why should the people wall about
the high cost of living? Why the
meat boycott? Why stop buying eggs:
What is the good of doing without that
which one has been accustomed to have
when Congress is going to accomplish
the object for which it is all being
: done?
: Let the people wait. Congress is go
ing to investigate the cost of living and
when it gets through investigating any
thing it knows all about it and is ac-
qualnted with ally the remedies for a
bad situation.
congress is going to investigate. Ali
What promise of relief, jim that one lit
tie phrase? Congress is going to inves-
tlgate! No more sleepless nights for
paterfamillas. No more days spent in
toll and nights spent in figuring, fgur-
ing, figuring. No more scraping and
scrimping by the mother. Housekeep-
ing cares, the problem of giving the
household three square meals day
when there is hardly enough in the
pantry to make one, and the boy needs
new pair of trousers and the girl a
pair of shoes, and both school books
and car fare-these are sure to vanish.
No more anxious conferences between
the head of the house and his hard
working wife; no more care; no more
anxious moments; no more toil--noth-
ing from now on but pleasure and the
joy of living. At night the father will
come home to peaceful household and
good supper, with smiling, care-free
wife, instead of care-worn and nerve
racked drudge, to greet him at the door.
In the morning his wife will see him
leave with well-flled dinner pail and
the children will trudge off to school.
knowing that they will not have to do
with a meagre lunch for the MONDAY
recess.
A pleasing picture, all brought up by
the news that Congress will investigate.
But isn't it mirage, such as greets the
tired traveller in the desert only to
vanish when his faltering, weary foot
steps have brought him within reach

investigation will be simply bluff?
When it is all over will we not see an
lnoffensive seapegoat behind prison
oars, while the real criminals chuckle

power imouslnes? A few in Jail, few
ines paid in jitfy and without the
ense of loss, and many acquittals and
he consumer will keep on paying the
Id price and the millionaire trust mag
lates will keep on piling up dollars. $
