Sta|ey and Friend
to Do Teamwork

preventative Chas. E. Friend are
planning to do good team work
in the Senate and the House this
coming session. They will do all
they can to secure the passage
of a pheasant bill that will pro-
tect the farmers crops. They
will also try to knock out the
bridge bill the Governor endors-
ed by vetoing the one that was
passed thru the efforts of Mr..
Staley in the legislature which
was intended to take the burd-
en- of $40, 600 per year off Of the
shoulders Of the county.
Mr.. Friend, altho quite young,
is showing much efficiency in the
manner in which he is delving in
to things to ascertain the needs
lof his constituents,
Mr.. Friend gives us, an insight
into his work as follows: ,
| Il have devoted most OF my
lenergy for tie past few weeks to
ldrawing an adequate speed and
light law for country districts. Ii
our county needs anything, it
needs protection to life and prop.
Ierty from careless and crlminally
inclined auto drivers who use our
roads for speedways, killing and
manning as they go. Rest assur-
ed that if the bill drafted does
not pass, one like it will. our
al people are inccnScd at the wan
toncss Of those who make it un-
sale to venture ON our public
; roads. That sentiment Is grow.
ing IN the other counties. Scnn-
9 tor StaIcy, ! am sure, will push
n ms end of IT slrcnuously.
IL Next important, says MIR.
Friend, is protection to the poul.
" try business of our county. Keep.
, ing that in mind, | have drawn a
!. bill making il II felony TO break
INTO or take fowls from an out
n house or enclosure in the night
time. We have "A law on the
statute books concerning this mat
J. ter, but II has been shot to pieces
. by the courts, having been held
q unconstitutional several times.
, The objections raised 10 such law
, nave been kept IN mind as we
think the bill as drawn will stand
n any test.
g 'Thcr" Will be no hesitation in
tins Legislature, according TO Mr..
Friend, about amending the law
so aS to max" 1T effective. Every
one Is anxious 10 make it an en-.
iorccablc law, and n great number
e OF radical suggestions have been
Y made. ! have drawn n bill en-
, braclng among other things the
following provisions: ]. Dong
away with fines and making the
first oifcnsc punishable by i'm.
prlsonmcnt. 2. Making it um-
p lawful to have liquor gn one =
possession anywhere except in
G on" X own home. ,. Limiting
! ia" amount one can import each
-, month. under severe restrictions.
> The sentiment IL 50 strong in this
legislature that would not be-
. surprised 10 see an amendment
I prohibiting the use or importation
, Of liquor altogether aud referring
such u constitutional amendment
to tile people.
