NEW
LAWS SET UP
QUEER DEALS
Irrigation Laws Prove Big
Help But Horse Racing Bill
Finds Rough Going; Car
Liability Lessened.

Some of the legislatures new
laws have distinct bearing upon
Benton county citizens. A rather
careful study of these new meas
ures made by County Auditor E.
o. Keene, who has been furnishing
this paper with a summary of
them. Mr.. Keene reviews another
section this week:
Chapter Is provides for assist
ance by the state in financing and
rehabilitation diking, drainage and
irrigation districts and should
prove of inestimable benefit to the
districts affected and to the state
as a whole. It is under the pro-
visions of this act that plans are
now being consumated for the re-
financing Of the Richland Ilri-
CATION district. Members of the
district board, the landowners
committee and county officials are
in conference today with state Of
ficials and the bondholders' COM
mittee and the deal is expected TO
be closed tSis week.
Chapter 10 provides that mo
person transported by the owner or
operator of motor vehicle as an
invited guest or licensee without
payment for such transportation,
shall have cause Of action for
damages against such owner or
operator for injuries, death or loss
in case of accident, unless such
accident shall have been intention
al on the part Of said owner or OPP
orator" Under the former law
the operator Of motor vehicle
was responsible for injuries sus-
tanned by a guest while riding in
such car.
Chapter % has to do with school
and maintenance. 1t is
too long to review here, but should
be studied carefully by all in
charge of the administration of
school affairs prior to the compila-

MORE DEAD LAWS
SLATED FOR REPEAL
House Revision Committee
Plans Simplifying Over
burdened U. S. Statutes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
It's open season on dead laws.
The House Committee on Revision of
the Laws, which prevailed upon Con-
gress to repeal more than 1000 obso-
lete statutes last session in one stroke,
is on the trail of more of them.
The purpose of the revision group Is
to strip the Federal statutes of laws
which subsequent legislation has made
obsolete. Compilation Of the list re-
pealed last session took four years
Congress. for example, has passed
several laws prescribing ratiOnS for
Army men. AS new ones were enacted,
old ones were left on the books So,
to conform to the letter Of all existing
ration laws, soldiers would have had to
eat about dozen meals a day.
Rules for Territories.
Federal laws regulating territories
which have become States were still
haunting the statute books before the
Revision Of Laws Committee dug them
up for congressional repeal.
Not only does this dead wood clutter
up the already bulky statutes, says the
committee, but it breeds technical
tangles when lawyers haul out laws
which are obsolete but not actually re-
pealed.
Representative Byron Harlan. of
Ohio, chairman of the committee, hopes
the Weeding-out process will eventu-
ally be handled by permanent Joint
committee of the House and Senate
Now there is no Senate body cores
ponding to the House Revision of Laws
Committee. making it difficult. as
Harlan points out. to put repeal legis-
lation through both houses.
Some day we hope to extend the
revision work to include simplification
and shortening of laws" he explains
We hope to develop style of legis-
lative expression which will make every
law short, to the point and unmistak
able in its intent Complicated, YER
bose statutes give laWbreakers a good
chance to escape through technical loop
holes"
Boiling Down" Imperative.
With each Congress piling new laws
on the already massive collection, it is
considered likely that Federal statutes
might eventually grow beyond human
comprehension. Harlan says continu-
Gus culling of old laws and boiling
Gown Of new ones is imperative.
clarifying and shortening our laws
would improve the whole system of
legal procedure" he contends. Court
action would be speeded up. CompH-
cations would be avoided"

that the Royal Air Force will be sup

The company" he explained, "has
for some time past been producing
from Yorkshire coal petrol of out
standing quality and performance
Works at Berugh and Askern are
both equipped with the necessary
plants for the production of coal petrol,
and already more than 1000 tons have
been produced and marketed.
This quantity, although relatively
small compared with the national con-
sumption, Is large enough to show
that the process is abundantly proved
from the technical and commercial
aspects"

MERGER WINS
HOUSE D. K.
Subcommittee Votes Report;
Howell to Fight in Senate
for Rate Amendment

After a brief hearing today the
public utilities subcommittee of
the House District Committee
voted to favorably report a bill
authorizing the merger Of the
Washington and Georgetown gas
light companies.
An amendment suggested by
George E. Sullivan, of the Fedora,
ton of Citizens Associations, to
prevent the merged companies
from including their separate
going-concern values as rate
making basis was passed up.
Representative Loring M. Black,
jr. CD of New York, subcom.
mittee chairman, held that the
amendment was of a controversial
nature and in all probability
would be taken up when the mat
ter reaches the Senate.
Backed by Howell
Senator Robert B. Howell (R.)
Of Nebraska appeared before the
Senate District Committee during
hearings on an identical measure
in support of such an amendment
and is said to be prepared to
advocate it's inclusion in any
merger legislation.
The only other feature of the
hearing was statement by E. j.
Boothby, general manager of the
washington Gas Light Company,
that between $1,O00,0 900 and ST.
100000 would be expended on i'm
provements by the new company

bill sending to the Court of

ing from condemnation of the
tracks and terminal of the Wash

however, was tackled on by the
subcommittee which provides that

D. {. BEER BILL
To HOLD OVER

Washington will have to wait
until the extra session of Con,

This was the opinion expressed
today by Representative Vincent
L. Palmisano D) of Maryland,
chairman of the House District
Judiciary subcommittee, which
held hearings recently on the
Black bill to legaliZe sale of 3 2
per cent beer ir the District.
Palmisano called a meeting OF
his subcommittee yesterday, but
the session was postponed be-
cause a printed report of the
hearings was not ready and Rep
resentative Wright Patman CD
of Texas, a subcommittee mem
ber, requested a 24-hour stay in
which to study the report.
Patman opposes any attempt
to pass beer bill for Washing
ton until after a national beer
bill has been enacted.
The new bill in all probability
will cover all the Objectionable
features brought out at the hear
ing during the testimony of the
drys, many of whom oppose the
Black measure primarily because
it offered fewer safeguards than
the act of 1913, which regulated
saloons.

AGAINST WILL
Creates Scene in Court House
When Ordered Detained;
Man Would Wed Her

Dorothy Pollard, Government
witness in the District white slave
case, is being held incommuni-
cado in the House of Detention,
it was shown today, despite the
fact that the man in the case
wants to marry her.
Miss Pollard, an attractive
brown-haired Roanoke (VaD girl
and an expectant mother, staged
a scene in the office Of the United
States attorney late yesterday
when she was brought in and in
formed that she was to be held a
prisoner as a Government wit,
ness.
District Attorney Mum
District Attorney Leo Rover re-
fused to affirm or deny that the
marriage of the expectant mother
and the youth she accuses of fore
ing her into a life of shame was
forbidden in order that the Gov
ernment might not lose it's star
witness. a wife not being com
PEELED to testify against her hus-
band.
At the District Jail the man
in the case, Homer Shropshire,
10, said today:
''I want to marry Dorothy"
At the House of Detention all
efforts to see the girl were blocked
by the district attorneys office.
1t was said she was a Govern
ment witness and would not be
allowed to see any one.
Creates Scene
1t was learned, however, that
the girl created a scene in the
court house yesterday when she
was brought in from her apart
ment and told that she was to
be locked up.
The reason given for her con-
finement was that the case is
almost ready to be presented to
the Grand Jury and that her
presence before that body is vital
to the Government case.
Rumors that the girl had
planned to visit the District Jail
with a minister and marry Shrop-
shire could not be confirmed.
James Hughes, attorney for Shrop-
shire, said:
"He wants to do the right
thing and marry the girl. He
will do this at anytime he can"
Under $4,000 Bond
Shropshire was held for the
Grand Jury under $4,000 bond
last week by United States Com
missioner Needham C. Turnage
following a sensational hearing.
The girl, who is % years old,
testified that he had brought her
here and the second night ordered
her to go on the streets and solicit
