SOLONS PRONE TO
IRONY AND JOKES
OFFER QUEER BILLS

New York.-The Kentucky legis-
lator who proposed that moon
sinners be compelled by law to
equip their stills" with whistles
that could be heard for two miles
has no monopoly of the unusual in
proposed legislation for the solons
who sit in legislative halls of state
capitals are prone to sarcasm,
irony and jokes.
Some add bills have cropped up
in the state legislative sessions
now drawing to a close.
For example there is the bill in
troduced in the New York state as
sembly making hypocrisy a mis-
demeanor and defining it as the
act of a person who for pay. gift
or other valuable thing publicly
advocates and supports any legis-
'lative measure restraining free eX-
ercise of personal liberty or the
act of any person who solicits
funds for such support"
The measure is aimed at "re-
form" organization workers.
The Massachusetts legislature
had before it in this years ses-
sion a bill making church-going
compulsory for every resident of
the state who was physically or
mentally capable of attending
church.
Another measure proposed in
Massachusetts provided that every
candidate for public office must be
examined by a justice of the su-
perior court to determine whether
he is qualified to hold office TO
which he aspires.
A bill in the Massachusetts, leg
islature authorized the appoint
ment of a special legislative COM
mittee to make an official Fourth
of July visit to the Irish Free
State at the expense of its mem
bers.
Some of the unusual legislation
proposed is obviously aimed at
what the authors regard as injus-
tice.
Housewives who do not share in
joint control of the family income
found champion in Mrs Margaret
Laird of Newark. N. J.. who intro
islature enabling married women
to control the wages they earn in
their own homes.
Another New Jersey measure
would exempt nurses from jury
duty.
A third would enable innocent
persons to collect from the state
81 a day for each day of confinc-
ment in Jail. provided they proved
their innocence.
