TWENTIETH AMENDMENT Is.
ADDED TO CONSTITUTION
Lame Duck" Custer Plan Of
Congress Becomes Law When
SO States Ratify Amendment
TO INACCURATE JAN. 20

After ten years of trying and a
hundred of waiting, the United States
undermined it's political machine on
Monday by eliminating defeated Off
cials-the Lame Ducks" gov
eminent.
A twentieth amendment was written
into the constitution declaring that
after this year both the President and
the newly chosen Congress shall take
office the January following Novem-
ber's election, and that the old short.
term sessions of Congress which fof
so long has clogged the political ma.
chinery with its ineffectiveness, shall
be held no more. The present one is
the last.
Thirty-six of the states of the union
ratified the amendment in less than
one-tenth the time it took to convince
Congress that the country demanded
abolition of this numbering antiquity.
Missouri Seth State to Ratify
Missouri completed the ratification,
Selling the distinction of being Seth
approving state by wide-awake man.
euver. Its House was to meet at 2
O'Clock to act on the amendment al
ready ratified by the Missouri Senate.
The Massachusetts House was to do
exactly the same thing but had the
one-hour advantage of being in the
eastern time zone. The Missouri
speaker rounded up his members for
a ten a. m. session and the job was
quickly done.
Later in the day, though no more
were needed, Georgia and Utah added
their notifications, bringing the total
to SO. Massachusetts and Nevada
which also hoped for the 36th place,
postponed final action. There were
prospects, however, that this might
become the one amendment to be rat
flied by unanimous vote of the as
states. Every legislature that has
not ratified already is now in session.
Though actually part of the consti-
tuition from Monday the amendment
will not be proclaimed in force until
the Secretary of State receives the
Seth formal record of state action
BY it's own terms it will not take effect
until October Is. Had it been in force
last October, Franklin D. Roosevelt
would be in the White House today.
After this year, when the people
record their will at the ballot box in
November, the men they send to Con-
gress will begin to function within two
months. Hitherto, the new represen-
tatives have had to twiddle their
thumbs for Is months-until Deem
Der of the next year-while the coun-
try has been given legislation spon-
sored, framed and put through in part
by men who have been specifically re-
pudiated by the voters.
From now on, Congress will meet
every year on January 8. The Presi-
dent will take office January 20. The
17-day difference is to give Congress
time to canvass and certify election
results.

MEN STEAL HEIFER FROM
HUTTON FARMER SUNDAY
Animal Slaughtered Before Be-
ing Taken From Premises

An unusual theft has been related
by Spencer Hardesty, of Hutton.
Mr.. Hardesty, farmer of that COM
munity, owned nine yearlings, which
were housed in his barn. Sometime
Saturday night or Sunday morning
marauders entered the building, Sc
lected a choice heifer from the herd,
took it only a few yards from the barn
where they slashed its throat, severed
the head and ripped out the entrails
before proceeding with a getaway.
Mr.. Hardesty said the heifer would
dress 200 pounds or more.
Discovering his loss at feeding time
Sunday morning he notified Sheriff G.
H. Brown, of Preston county, and
State Troopers Lyle H. Powell and
Sergt. j. W. Wooddell, of Kingwood,
and search was started.
A trail leading from the barnyard
was easily followed due to the soft
condition of the ground and two men
suspected of the theft were soon under
arrest. The hide of the animal was
found at the entrance of an abandoned
mine near Freeport; one quarter of
the heifer was found in the home of
Bruin Friend and the balance of the
animal was in the home of Dexter
Friend, both living at Freeport.
Both the men were taken to the
county Jail at Kingwood to await a
hearing before Justice Whitehair at
Terra Alta at a later date.
Later during the day a man named
Smith residing in the Freeport COM
munity, was arrested by the officers
who suspected him of being an accom-
plice to the crime.
Last spring Hardesty's barn was
entered and a calf which he was fat
tening for market was stolen. Later
during the summer Mr.. Hardesty lost
several lambs from his sheepfold,

MARRIAGE LAW REVISION
URGED BY EPISCOPALIANS
Proposed Law Will Be Presented
At Meeting of Church Repre-
sentatives In Baltimore
WOULD PREVENT DIVORCES

Revision of the Maryland marriage
laws is proposed in a resolution pre-
pared by the Rev. Dom Frank Fem,
of the Protestant Episcopal church of
st. Michael and All Angels, of Balti-
more, for presentation at the diocesan
convention of the Protestant Episco-
pal church at Baltimore upon the con-
vening of that body.
The resolutions urges the State leg
islature to require an interval of at
least ~ hours between the application
and the issuance of marriage license.
1t adds that in case the county Judge
deems the reason sufficient, tn elicense
may be issued Immediately.
This is the second church in Mary
land which has expressed its desire for
revision of the marriage license law.
The Presbyterian church at recent
meeting in Baltimore, recommended
the same procedure following a report
of a committee of which Rev. w. B.
Brock, of Oakland, was member.
The Rev. DR.. Fem said while such a
law as he proposes would affect resi-
dents of other states clipping to Mary
land, his primary interest is the pre-
vention of hasty marriages of resi-
dents of the state.
Would Prevent Divorces
81 feel strongly" said DR.. Fem,
"that many divorces could be prevent
ed if there were less haste in marri-
age. The Episcopal church, by her
canons and the wording of the prayer
book service, exhorts her people to
consider carefully all the implications
of the married state before seeking
her blessing on their unions.
Church Requires Notice
First, it is required that those who
contemplate marriage will give at
least three days notice to the rector
in advance of the date of the mar
riage.
at is required also that the rector
shall instruct both the man and the
woman in the duties and privileges OF
married life. Also, the language OF
the service for the solemnization OF
marriage is unequivocal and no one
would be permitted to use it who had
reservations that were known to the
rector.
"But there are hasty marriages, and
there is always to be found someone
who will perform such ceremonies. 1t
is therefore desirable that a law be
passed by the state preventing hasty
marriages"
The church convention opened We'd
nesday at Baltimore.
Just what the proposed change
would do for Oakland in the matter of
income, if it became law, is a mat
ter of conjecture. There are an aver
age of 1000 marriage licenses issued
here each year, the majority of them
being to couples from West Virginia
Pennsylvania, and other neighboring
states. Providing each couple spent
on an average of $40 in Oakland fol
license, fee, food, ETC., the present sys-
tenn has been bringing $4,000 each
year. Whether the three-day interval
would bring in more revenue from the
couples who would be required to
spend three days here, or whether it
would cause many to stay away al
together, is matter for argument
Those in favor of its passage by the
State Legislature are of the opinion
that the moral situation would be i'm
proved.
