Attacks Bachelor Bill.

Worthless lawmakers" is the
way Madison citizen characterizes
the states representatives in the
legislature in letter to the senate
in which he condemned the propo-
sed tax on bachelors.
1T is high time that bachelors
or some one else would be taxed to
help the state pay the burden of
worthless lawmakers, said the
Madison citizen.
These worthless lawmakers are
just fitting around planning how
they are going to use up the time
of six months or year not trying
to help the state.
How about the man who is mar
ried, and has an affinity on every
corner and will be allowed to run
free without taxa bad example
to our beautiful capital?
why not put a tax on divorces,
why not put tax on the men who
represent our state while his wife
and family. are struggling at home?
I'VE will show in two years,
when we are to have another legis-
lature, who will be elected, the man
with one affinity or the bachelor or
the bacheloretts.
Assemblyman H. NJ. Mark of
this city introduced a bill providing
for a tax of $40 on all bachelors
between the ages of 8 and IS years.
The money collected from the tax
would go for the support of the
common schools, normal schools
and the state university. A bach
elor tax bill was also introduced in
the senate Ex-senator Bilgrien.

"DRYS" HOLD THE WHIP
IN THE STATE ASSEMBLY
Bill for More Stringent Enforcement
of the Prohibition Laws is Advanc-
ed in Assembly.

That the drys are in the major
lty in the state assembly was
evidenced on Thursday when the
Matheson bone dry prohibition en-
forement bill was advanced by a
vote of So to al. The vets offered
several amendments, one of which
was a proposition to submit the
proposed law to a vote of the peo-
pie next April, which was defeat
ed together with other amend
ments offered by the vets. A
number of amendments satisfactory
to the drys were passed
Two of the most important
amendments adopted were as
follows:
First, should congress define
liquor other than as having 1a of
per cent of alcohol, the new de-
hnition would apply in the state.
Second, permitting an alcoholic
content of more than u of per
cent during the process of man
ufacture of near beer, which, how
ever, must be reduced to y Of /
per cent before it is placed on the
market. Exempting wines pur-
chased for religious or sacramental
purposes.
1t is reported that the senate is
also dry and that the bill will meet
with favorable action in that body
also.
The attendance at the state leg
islature during the week has been
slim, says report of the doings of
the solons, due to the holiday en-
joyed on Washington's Birthday,
many members failing to report for
duty when the Legislature convened
again Wednesday. Next week it
is expected that there will be full
attendance, as financial bills will
be reported.
The opinion is that the bill in
troduced by Assemblyman Mark
providing for additional county ag-
ricultural agents will pass Should
the bill become a law every county
in the state will have all agricul,
tural agent by July /, 1928, The
bill provides that there shall be So
agents on July this year and 65
agents on July next year. The
state agrees to contribute 81, 900
annually toward the expense of
county agricultural agent. There
are now over fifty counties in the
state with agricultural agents.
The assembly on Wednesday
again killed the Jordan bill provid-
ing for an eight-hour day on all
public work.
An additional appropriation of
sos 900 for the Wisconsin veterans
home was passed by the senate We'd
nesday morning and will go to the
assembly for approval.
Another appropriation forthe war
history commission allowing for the
coming two years was also passed.
The assembly reconsidered the
vote by which it killed the Milwau-
kee rent bill and after an hour Of
debate sent the bill to engrossment.
BY tie vote of al to "A the as
sembIy refused to pass the propos.
ed constitutional amendment which
would give the state the right to
build warehouses.
| By vote of 79 to 5 the assembly
concurred in the Dennhardt resoiu-
ton memoralizing congress against
the war program.

MORRISON CAUGHT
WHILE DRUNK At A
DANCE IN ROWAN
Deputy Sheriff Jackson Slips Up On
Prisoner, Who Says He Would Not
Be Arrested But For
Booze.

The Fleming Gazette tells the fol-
lowing story of the capture OF Arthur
Morrison:
Arthur Morrison, wanted to answer
the charge of murder for the killing
of VIM. Collins and to fifteen warrants
charging him with violating the liuuor
laws, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
II. L. Jackson and lodged in Jail here
Thursday night about o'clock. For
a long time Morrison, reputed to be
all round bad man, had been at large
though several attempts had been
made to get him, and his arrest will
be viewed with satisfaction by the law
abiding element Of the county.
Thursday the officer learned that
there was to be a dance at house in
the edge Of Rowan county and sus-
pecting that Morrison would be there
quietly secured an auto and with a
driver went to Muses. Mills. From
there he went to the house in Rowan
in a buggy by himself and waited I'M
til the dance was over, which was
after II o'clock when several drunks
were in evidence, Morrison among
them. While Morrison was lying on a
bed and his brother was standing in
the door, Mr.. Jackson ran in and COM
PEELED the brother to stand aside while
he grabbed Arthur and placed the
handouts on him. Morrison had on
his pistol holster, but the weapon was
not in it when he was captured.
In Jail Friday morning Morrison
attributed his fate to being drunk and
said the first he knew of being under
arrest was when he awakened and
found himself riding in an auto to-
ward town. He thinks he would yet
be eluding the officers if some one had
not tipped him Off, he says, to the off,
GERS. Anyhow, Officer Jackson did a
good job in making the arrest.
Morrison was brought to Muses. in
the buggy and there was placed in the
machine and brought here. He made
no resistance further than to make
threats against Mr.. Jackson, to which
the officer paid no attention.
A reward of $500 was outstanding
for the arrest and conviction of Morri-
son.
