Bill Would Do
Away With All
Election Clerks
Estimated Saving To Coun-
ty Of $4,000 Each Election.
Voting Machines Make Move
Possible

A bill to eliminate all clerks
of election in the county has been
approved by the supervisors of
elections. The county's delega-
ton in the General Assembly has
been asked to sponsor the meas
ure, which is designed to save the
county approximately $4,000 each
election year.
For years there have been -four
judges and two clerks at every
polling place, each of the two
major parties being equally rep
resented. Use of voting ma
chimes in the SO voting places
have made the clerks unnecessary
Because of the many changes
in the boundaries of the thirteen
election districts, the election
board authorized F. Byrne Aus
tin, Clerk to the Board, to have
the metes and bounds prepared
at once. 1t is planned to have
the General Assembly enact 9
law defining the said boundaries
The supervisors have also asked
for a bill changing the periods
during which registration and
transfer of qualified voters is
banned. Under the present law
persons cannot register or trans.
fer for 80 days before and II
days following a primary or spe-
cial election or As days before

work Or Fight
Bill introduced
To Halt LOafing
Montgomery County Legis-
IatOrs Sponsor Bill Aimed
To Help Farm Shortages

A "Work or Fight" bill was in
PRODUCED in the General Assembly
on Tuesday of this week sponsored
Jointly by Ben G. Wilkinson and
Ulysses Griffith of Montgomery
County. The bill is a statewide
measure and is designed to elimi-
nate the loafing and lettering Of
men who could work on farms 81
VINO are engaged in war work and
deliberately absent, themselves
from work. In discussing the
measure Delegate Wilkinson said
Owe are at war and there are, I'M
fortunately, number of irrespon-
sible men who refuse to do even
the part for which they are paid.
We have designed this bill to make
it possible to enforce it's provisions
Immediately it becomes law. AS
scarce as farm help is nowadays
it is utterly amazing and disgust
ing to see ablebodied farm hands
loafing around towns and villages
refusing to work because they can
make enough money in two or
three days to provide living ex-
penses for a week. The same is
true of men who are war workers.
These men who are so lacking in
appreciation of production for the
good of country and who consider
their highly paid jobs only means
to an easy life must be forced, by
law, to do what all patriots regard
as duty"
The bill provided a penalty of
$25 or 30 days in Jail for the first
offense and for subsequent offenses
penalty Of $1,000, or one year in
prison, or both. Exemptions are
on the SABBATH, for men serving
apprenticeship in trade OF profess
sion, students or for sickness.
There is an existing compulsory
work law on the books, it was
pointed out by Mr.. Wilkinson, but
it requires a proclamation by the
Governor and registration of all
workers in the State. Mr.. Wilkin-
son pointed out that we need
immediate action which is con-
templated in his bill.

OCOnOr Moves To
Assure Mainten'ce
OF County Roads
Sponsors House Bill To
Devote Entire 1Kc Lateral
Roads Tax Receipts To
Upkeep

In order to assure maintenance
Of county roads throughout the
State in the best possible condi-
ton despite sharply decreased gas
oline tax receipts for such pur-
poses, Governor = Herbert r
OConor has announced two def
mite measures in this direction.
The INC Lateral Roads Tax
allocated to the Counties, hereto
fore allotted on a basis of sou
for new construction, will here
after, under an Administration
sponsored bill now in the Roads
and Highways Committee of the
House, be devoted entirely to the
upkeep Of existing county roads
By utilizing the entire receipts
from this source the Governor de-
clared, it is hoped to compensate
for the shrinkage in dollar totals
brought about by the decline in
gasoline consumption.
For the 1944-1945 biennium
additional sums, realized by the
elimination Of salaried positions
and by economy in operation, will
swell the maintenance totals
greatly.
For the year 1914, it is esti-
mated that 767,639.76 will be
made available and $894y610.68 in
1915. These increases will boost
the total available maintenance
funds for 1914 to $2,166,517.52
and, for 1915, to $2,5O8, $3.50.
By these adjustments, Governor
OConor believes, the overhead
cost of the Commission will be
brought more nearly into line with
its restricted financial resources.

Sweethearts Forbidden
Soldiers Insignia

There was a time when the
mothers. wives. sisters and sweet
hearts OF military or naval men
could safely follow the practice OF
wearing the official insignia OF
their loved ones.
This was particularly true OF
women living with their husbands
at an army post or naval station,
where the wives often wore the in
sigma Of identification or grade.
Although the army and navy
never officially approved Of such
practice il was relatively harmless
and universally allowed.
Today, however, we are at war,
and the government has decreed
this should not be done under any
circumstances.
Many women have expressed a
desire 10 wear such insignia and
many Of them have written to the
WAR PROBLEM CLINIC con-
corning il. In answer TO a letter in
today's column, the government
regulation is quoted.
