"a Nelson, who is a member Of the
"a Kentucky Legislature, has in
PRODUCED a bill imposing a fine of
from SIS to $25 upon any one wear
ing bathing suit in the streets of
any village having no policemen.
"Amid laughter" the news dis
patch reads, "the bill was referred
to the committee on alcoholic liquor
traffic"
Why the laughterf
Consider world conditions today.
Think, for a moment, of the great
need of legislators who are able to
propose measures that will help this
country to recover from the unpre-
cedented calamity which befell it.
Think, then, of the constituency
which selected G. A. Nelson to repre-
sent it in State legislature and
which is paying him for the fruits
of his political genius.
And, when you get through think
ing about those phases of the stu
alton, give thought to the multi
tude of asinine measures which are
suggested daily not only in every
State legislature, but even in the
Congress of the United States.
"Amid tears" the dispatch should
have read. "the bill was referred to
the committee on ash barrels"
