mission to be composed of those who
were members of the old discredited
gang. A bill administered by the
gang that the present legislature
would name would be more outra-
geous if possible than the present
disgraceful system.
An effort is being made by the or
gans of the back tax grafters to make
it appear that the fusion members of
the legislature have defeated the
back tax reform. Such nonsense and
: rot will not go down with sensible
people. In fact the good people of
Tennessee believe very little that IL
published by the organs aforesaid.
They know from the past bitter ex-
perience that they will conceal, sup
press and misrepresent the facts
upon all occasions.
The position of the fusion mem
bers was ably stated by Senator. IN
derwood He would rather have the
present laws honestly administered,
as they would be under Comptroller
Woollen, than to have the tax COM
mission composed of ex-attaches of
the old back tax machine. 1t has
not been so much the fault of the
back tax laws has it has been

EVEN REGULARS eALk.

There are some signs of returning
sanity among even the bitterest or
gans of the regulars" Whether OF
not these organs will be able to cxert
an influence for good upon the mem
bers of the legislature and call hall
upon the wild program of revenge
and retaliation that has been mapped
out, it is too early to say. But any
way it is healthy sign to find such
hide bound partisan organs as the
Chattanooga Times and the Jackson
Jacksonian baking at the PROPOSE
ton to destroy efficient management
of the prison system and instead
make it the political football of q
self perpetuating board of seven
The Jackson Jacksonian is reg
ular" of the Patterson and Dibrell
stripe, otherwise most readable pa
per, but it reads the regulars" a lee
ture upon this latest outrage. 1t
frankly tells them that they are go
ing the limit" bit too far to be de-
Tended. Under the caption of Act
ing the Fool" the Jacksonian says:
THE regular democrats in the leg
islature are acting the fool They
seem bent on satiating their hunger
for Office and in order to do it are
proposing to make the most radical
changes in the state government.
"The latest proposition is to abol-
fish the present board of three prison
commissioners appointed by the gov
ernor because Hooper has filled the
places with republicans) and create
a new board to be composed of sew
en- commissioners, to<be elected by
the legislature, all to get $500 a
year each. Why not make it eleven,
or fifteen, of twenty, instead Of sew
en-?
Such tactics as these nauseate
the sensible people of this state.
There are too many place-hunting
two-by-four politicians among the
democratic members of the iegtsla-
ture and they are doing the panty no
service in trying to push through
such indefensible measures as this
new prison bill
"The present system of conducting
the prisons was all right as long as
the jguns were manned by democrats,
and it cannot be all wrong merely
because republicans have taken their
places.
"As a regular democratic newspa-
per of the most straight-laced kind,
the Jacksonian hereby repudiates
this latest scheme and expresses it's
profound disgust
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1913-04-25

legislative majority will have
the odor of the old ma
chine upon it. It will be discredited
in advance among the people who
really desire tax reform in this
state. The idea with the regulars
is not an improvement of the tax
system, but the making of places
for political pets. But the whole
scheme is doomed. The acts Of the
ouorumless house will be swept
away by the decision of an honest
and courageous supreme court.

DRAMATIC EPISODE.

Amid the dry-as-dust proceedings
of state legislatures there come al
times dramatic flashes that lift the
routine of work out of the common
place. Such flash came to the Col
orado legislature last week.
A measure known as the Biles bill
was brought up for vote. This bill
provided for the segregation of fall
en-" women in certain districts, and
forbidding their establishment out
side of the defined boundaries.
Now the Colorado legislature has
two women members. They sat qui-
city in their seats and heard all the
discussion of the measure and the
scornful illusions to the dangerous,
| immoral women" But when the bill
was finally called there was stir at
Mrs. Representative Marshall's desk
as she arose and in voice quiet
but so vibrant with meaning that it
caught the attention of the entire
house, said the bill was a good one,
but offered an amendment to the eff
feet that the fallen men of the city
should be segregated in like manner
as the fallen women"
The breath-taking silence which
fell in the room was broken by Mrs.
Representative Riddle, who catching
the speakers eye, said the only rea-
son she did not second this amend
ment was that, If carried into effect,
such law would not leave enough
men outside the segregation lines to
carry on the business of the city.
Then, calling for the question, she
turned to the house, saying signif-
cantly: Let him who is without
sin among you cast the first vote in
it's favor"
But the Biles bill was a dead is
sue. Men recognized the moral JUS
tice of Mrs. Riddles point and had
no more to say about the "contami-
mating influence" of a woman who
had missed the step in the march of
moralities.
But the incident did not end n the
legislative hall. The story Of it was
carried over the state; men stood in
groups on the town streets to talk of
it, and on the country roads drivers
stopped their teams to argue over the
insistent moral it taught. For in
their quiet way the two women law
makers had shown that behind the
fallen woman was the fallen man,
and he had been hiding behind her
through the centuries.
1t is just such small pointed, lime
lit episodes as this that sometimes
starts a revolution. Out of the |
and the arguing over this in
cident there may possibly come a !
moral improvement, not in Colorado |
only, but in all the country. As a |
puts it, "churchez |
lhomme" may yet take the place of |
"cherchez la femme. Memphis |
