HIGHWAY BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Fight Ends On Depart.
ment After Strenu-
Gus Debate
Times-Recorder Bureau,
Kimball House.

IlmeS-Rec0rdef Bureau
Kimball House.
ATLANTA, July 21.-After long
debate and repeated attempts to at
tach amendments, the house this
morning passed the highway substi-
tute compromise bill, thereby bring
ing an end to the attack on the
commission in this branch, while the
senate passed Senator Frank Man
sons bill to create the office Of state
auditor.
Under the new measure, the high
way department still has charge
of the distribution Of the automobile
license funds, but each county will
be given a part of the money on a
state road mileage basis as surveyed
by commission engineers. The COM
promise was concurred in by the high
way department.
Dcbate IN the house on the high
way department measure lasted over
two hours, and was heated at times,
despite the fact that the leaders of
both factions urged its passage, de-
elaring that neither bad been able to
secure all the grounds for which they
contendcd and thats compromise
had been reached in interest of pre-
serving road construction in Georgia,
Representatives McMichael and
Davis, who have been fighting the
department since the session started,
asserted on the floor that the sub
stitutc provided for protection of the
smaller counties of the state and at
the same time it's provisions did not
threaten the loss of federal aid. Both
requested their supporters to pass the
bill, but both ranks broke and Beck,
of Carroll, led the fight to kill it.
George Carswell OF Wilkinson,
made an impassiorsed appeal for the
measure and was followed by Arnold
Of Clay, and others. The doors of
ehe house were closed during the
debate and rules strictly enforced.
The Manson state auditor bill pro.
vides for the creation of such an of

investigate all departments and keeE

Wife Can Go Out With
Another Man I'm Florida

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, July I'll
A wife has the right to be alone
with man friend on a public high
way without interference from her
husband, according to a recent de
cision of Che Florida Supreme court.
The case came up through hus-
band meeting his wife riding alone
with another man. He attacked the
man, and as a result of the fight
that ensued the wife's companion
was convicted of assault with intent
to murder. The state supreme court
reversed the lower tribunal.
There may have been time when
wife was regarded as her husband S
chattel and being out alone on a pub
lie road with another man regarded
as sufficient provccation to justify
the husband in making an assault
upon her companion, but this is no
longer true, when women enjoy equal
freedom with men," said the opinion
read by Chief Justice Brown.
'The mere walking or driving Of
married woman with another man,
or a married man with another wo-
man, is not sufficient provocation TO
justify an assault by either spouse,
and the greater freedom of inter
course between men ard women in
this day protects them from unwar-
ranted attacks by jealous husband
or wife, who sees in innocent acts
of social intercourse combinations
strong as proofs of holy writ that
they are flagrantly immoral" "

THE aBLUR LAVE SUNDAY

Much is being written these days
concerning the possibility that a GER
tain number of religious zealots will
force upon the country, much against
its desire, the Puritanical Sunday of
colonial days. Some papers and writ
ers have figuratively thrown up their
hands in holy horror that such thing
should be attempted and that the once
greatly feared blue laws" might again
rob the people Of Sunday recreation
and celebration.
The whole agitation is a tempest in
a tea pot. Most of it is piffle. 1t has
afforded editorial writer's and cartoon
lists an easy object at which to shoot
their harpoons of wit and sarcasm
Judging from the present temper OF
the American people, it is most un-
likely that any drastic law will be
enacted depriying one of his privilege
TO observe the Sabbath as he chooses
Public opinion as constituted at pres.
emit would be overwhelmingly against
such action, and If by hook or crool
the law should be enacted It would
never be enforced TO any great extent

county, returned Friday evening from
Boise where as a member of the legis-

Teachers Association she attended a
meeting of that committee. This COM
mittee represents over 1000 of the
teachers and others engaged in edu-
cational work in the state of Idaho,
and this is the first occasion on which
this body appointed representatives to
confer with the educational commit
tees Of the house and senate. Mrs.
Flood reports that the committees of
the legislature were extremely cordial

The Innocent Owner

Boise Capital News The supreme
court of the United States has just
handed down an opinion of exception
al interest regarding the rights of the
innocent owner of an automobile used
to transport intoxicating liquors. 1t
| is of more than passing interest in
Idaho because the conclusion reached
runs counter TO conclusion contained
court of this state.
1t was held by the supreme court of
the United States that IAN innocent
owner of an automobile used to trans
port liquor for illegal purposes" can be
deprived of his property right in the
machine in case it's confiscation is or
dered by the court. The majority OF
the court seemed to be of the opinion
that if this rule is not established a
bootlegger could buy a car on time, use
it to transport liquor. and thus run the
risk of very small losses.
4 The Idaho supreme court in the case
of Naylor versus Simmons which origi-
mated in Bingham county held that
where the owner of an automobile was
innocent of the fact his automobile
was being used for the illegal trans
portation of liquor it could not be con-
fiscated. Under the Idaho law where
machine is knowingly and deliber-
ately used for this illegal traffic IL
may be seized by the authorities and
sold
There is sound logic in both sides OF
this argument. No doubt it is true that
bootleggers could buy cars on time
and use them for the transportation Of
contraband, without running the
) chance of heavy loss to themselves
} but surely the man whose car is used
by some one to transport liquor, fac
not countenanced by or known to him
has the right of protection of his in
terests. With the knowledge there ar,
thousands of cars in the possession o
) officers of the law in the United
States today. the rule laid down by tn,
. supreme court of the United States
is of no little Importance.
To protect their car interests.
would seem, owners of automobile
: will now have to join the anti-bootleg
ger squad and work to the end of put
ting the bootlegger definitely and com
pletely out of business.
