Outside Freaks

People on the outside q the legislature believe
they know exactly what ought TO be done in mat
ters of law making, when people on the inside,
whose business it is, are somewhat reluctant, to
introduce new or change old laws. 1t is true that
many existing laws ought TO be repealed and that
many proposed laws ought never see the light
of day. 1t is the old story of the outside fellow
instructing you how to conduct your business.
Most any legislator would willingly receive a sug-
gestion bearing merit, but impractical ideas,
without knowing their effect and cost when made
into law, are never at a premium.
For instance it is rumored that there is an
license bill floating around, of no
particular parentage, which would wreck the
present satisfactory system of centralized issue
of licenses, and place the authority for issue of
licenses in the hands of some county officer in
the twenty-threc counties at an increase of the
cost of issuing licenses from thirty-six cents to
elghty-nine cents, and the employment of at least
seven if not ten additional office assistants
whose business would be TO look after automobile
licenses alone. Then when it was desirable to
know the ownership of a licensed car the state
would have to be turned upside down and twenty.
three counties searched for the ownership,
whereas the existing system compels the seer
etary of state TO report to the twenty-three com-
ties at once, the number plate, ownership and
kind and description of car including other i'm
portant data.
satisfactorily. why should it be disturbed by a
substitute that will not work at all?
This freak and cumbersome bill.

1t may never find Il daddy and it may. Let us
hope that the present legislature lets well enough
alone.

Breaking Faith

some Sheridan county member of the legisla-
ture has introduced a bill aimed at leyying taxes
upon the Whitney estate, left by the late L. A.
Whitney for the purpose Of founding a school Of
technology, to be owned and directed by the peo-
pie of Sheridan county, The history of the case is
this; L. A. Whitney was a pioneer banker, who
went TO Sheridan when it was q mere village from
Miles City, Mont, his original home being
Springfield, Mass. During the years that fol.
lowed he accumulated quite a fortune in bank.
ing and business operations, and at the time of
his death his estate was worth approximately a
million dollars. This was left TO the people of
Sheridan county where he had made the money
and where he desired 1t to remain for the benefit
Of the people. The fund is managed by three trus.
tees, leading citizens. of Sheridan and close per-
,sonal friends of Mr.. Whitney in his lifetime, who
are charged with the duty Of conserving the
fund and increasing II so by the time it is turned
over TO the people who are TO finally receive II
for the purpose named in the will, it will amount
to sufficient to build the school and sustain it.

Lose 20 Pounds


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Whilc
Muddy Ruel. star catcher of the
Nationals. is a slutton for work,
Manager Harris of the world
champs realizes he must look to his
catching department.
Ruel worked In practically every
game last season. He started the
season weighing loo, finished just
20 pounds lighter.
While the loss Of weight IN no
way affected his catching. he lacked
the strength TO put a punch into
his batting. That vas apparent in
the world series.
What Washington needs Is u
veteran catcher. capable OF giving
Ruel a rest once or twice a week,
particularly during the warm
weather. when a run OF double
headers break Into the schedule.
It Is said Manager Harris has his
lines out for a veteran catcher and
would not DO averso to landing
Steve o'Neil of the Boston Rcd sox
to play the utility role.

JUDGE ASSAILS
WARRANTS FOR
LIQUOR SEARCH
DiSmlsSeS Appeals From City
Court Made by
Two.

Two persons who appealed from
city court on blind tiger charges
were discharged by Criminal Judge
James A. Collins Friday afternoon
when he sustained motions to quash
affidavits for search warrants. Per-
sons discharged were j. G.. Johnson.
1924 N. Alabama St., and Andrew
Schang, 1415 Blaine Ave. The lower
court fined each 800 and costs and
gave thirty-day sentences.
Hearing on the motion TO quash
in the Johnson case disclosed that
Deputy Sheriff Leonard Koffel OBJ
tained the warrant from a justice
OF peace court without a hearing,
that 1t did not describe the premises
to be searched and that Koffel en-
tered the Johnson apartment by
pushing the door open. When Jud-
son L. Stark, deputy prosecutor,
asked Mrs. Artie Conley. Johnson's
landlady, II she didn't lock the door
to keep Koffell out, Judge Collins
interrupted.
II don't know what this country
Is coming to II a person hasn't
right to lock his own door, II makes
no difference II this officer did have
a search warrant"
When the case OF Schang was
called, Stark Immediately made a
motion TO nolle the charge against
him. This court is too busy TO
waste time on these farce trials"
said Stark.
