Der Of people of influence in the state

intendent of public instruction.
Some of the bills Mr.. Cash intro
duced and passed this session were:
Continuing the state appropriation
to meet the Smith Hughes federal ap-
preparation for agricultural, Industrial
and home economics schools. There
are ton such institutions in Florida
now and they are doing most excellent
work.

priation for university agricultural ex-
tension work and for the carrying on
of farm demonstration in the coun-
ties.

general statutes relating to certain rec
ords and dockets.
Al bili legalizing a tax of one-third
of a min to take up certain state bonds
in which the state school fund is in
vested at three per cent so as to have
the said school fund to invest at the
greater per cent which the state board

county securities
A bill amending Section II of the
examination law of 1917. This bill
changes the personnel of the state
board of examiners insofar as to those
who pass upon diplomas presented
with a view to obtaining certificates.
Instead of the state board of examiners
the state superintendent, the president
and dean OF the State College for
Women at Tallahassee, pass upon all
diplomas under the terms of the bill.
Senator Cash also introduced and
PASSED what is known as the Cash PEN
sion bin. He opposed the Singletary
bill to sell the Everglades. He led the
fight in the senate for the Williams
compulsory school attendance bill. He
opposed the Igou- Carlton road bill for
the reason that in his opinion the high
way commission has been too indef-
mite In its plan ana UNFAIR 10 SoAue
sections of the state. He believes that
help has been extended to some sec.
tions which have not done sufficient
in return. In other words, Senator
Cash believes the state aid should be
conditional always on the meeting of
such aid by the localities affected.
He took a prominent part in the
passage of the pension bill, and the
amendment which retains widows
who have remarked but have lost their
husbands by death of decree in chan

defeat of the boar dof visitors bill In
troduced by Senator MacWiHiams. He
opposed this measure because he
thought 1t would be an entering wedge

agement of FIorida's institutions of
higher learning.
