Show BY THE EDITOR, CLIFF N. MEMMOTT IN HELPER DOLLAR DAYS MERCHANTS PLANNED BY YOUR cCc LEGISLATURE IS MAKING PROGRESS IN SOME INSTANCES As I glanced over the legislature calendar Tuesday morning I noted where the state senate had passed a few measures that are of particular interest to me, and no doubt to many others. Also I observed that Governor J. Bracken Lee had affixed his signature to a few other measures that either are now, or in a given time will be, written upon the statute books of this state, to aid to governing the nearly one half million people who reside in Passed by the senate was HB 96 Increasing the term of office of city officials in cities of the second and third class from two to four years. From my corner I hasten to say "I like the idea, and am heartily in approval with the measure". I firmly beleve it will have a great effect in increasing the efficiency in city govrnment. It will no doubt attract men and women to these offices who are desirous of serving the public, and not those who would like a little experience for a couple of years. I have other reasons, but will not go into more detail now. I particularly was pleased to see Gov. Lee sign SB 71 Making women eligible to serve on grand juries, and SB 11 increasing jurors pay from $3 to $8 in district court, and from $2 to $6 per day in city and justice courts. Then he signed HB 54 raising the pay of registration agents from $3 to $5. per day. Sure we should he Imbued with the desire to serve, and most good Americans are. But when a man has to leave his business or his job for days, he most generally takes a loss. Either he has to hire someone to do his job, or he losses time on his Job. If he is particularly compensated for his loss, then more men and women would be willing to serve on the Jury, or be the registration agent. It's a step forward In my opinion. LIQUOR PROBLEMS Noticed where the house liquor group came through Monday with some definite recommendations concerning the liquor problem. They are to offering the "sale of liquor by the drink" problem as a referendum to the people of the state on a bollot. They further recommended that no person or employee of the liquor control commission or anyone engaged in law enforcement in cities, towns or counties, be in any way connected with, or engaged iu any wav in tne liQUr business. Then too, they were of the opinion that the present liquor law is a "good law", if it Is properly enforced. It's a certain thing this subject of liquor is going to bring about a lot of in the legislature before it ends in a couple of weeks. Those for and against these recommendations of the house committee are going to Wase a battle to see their objective achieved, and by the same token those who in favor of their suggestions are ar-going to be just as enthusiastically ambitious about seeing their desires realized.
