The bill, which would shorten to three months the period of resi dence necessary for divorce, was adopted 54 to 35 by the house yes terday after a heated debate on “morate,” “fanaticism," and “the fair name of Arkansas.” Representative Campbell of Sevier County, author of the bill, told the house opposition to the measures had taken on the form of a fanati cal femor. “Rather than make a hell on earth of marriage, I favor the state government relieving the situation,” he continued, “If the rich people want to go to Reno to get a divorce let them go. If they want to come to Arkansas and spend their money let them come and help out our common wealth with their money.” Goerch Gabs Of Assembly Activities (By CARL GOERCH) The legislature Is compose! or a lot of mighty fine fellows. They’re chaps who are kind-hearted, sym pathetic, generous and considerate. They are anxious to please the peo ple of the state and want to do the right thing. Somebody makes the suggestion that the power Interests ought to be taxed. What happens? A regular army of lobbyists descends upon Raleigh and proves convincing ly and conclusively that the power companies are Just about on the verge of starvation. The legislators listen to the presentation of facta, wipe the tears out of their eyes and decide that In view of circumstances probably It would be best not to Im pose any additional tax on the power people. Somebody else makes the sugges tion that we ought to have a sales tax. Thirty-eight thousand mer chants Immediately have a stroke of apoplexy, seventeen thousand die of shortness of breath and several thousand others develop serious cases of the rabies. Then cornea the proposal to tax moving pictures, and every theatre operator goes to Raleigh and dis plays figures which prove that not a penny has been made In the thea tre business since 1786. When bills are suggested for tax ing barbers, bottlers, fish-dealers, chiropodists and bootleggers, repres entatives of these professions im mediately run to Raleigh and suc ceed in blocking any such move. t Then somebody introduces a Dill to put another tax on the farmer. It Is given publicity through the newspapers. Members of the legis lature hold their breaths. They gaze at visitors in the hotels but fail to discern a single farmer among them. They spot all kinds of lobbyists, but nary a farmer-lobbyist. A huge sigh of relief Is released. "Maybe it’s best to put on that kind of a tax after all," says Mr. Legislator. And the bill Is passed with very little opposi tion. Along with learning how to live at home, the fanner ought to learn how to do a little lobbying. The lieutenant-governor of South Carolina visited the legislature in Raleigh last week and made a talk [to the senators and representatives. He advised the legislators to visit other states and get new Ideas. Judging from some of the bills that have been introduced In Raleigh thus far, they've already got too many ideas up there. If they get any more, the chances are that the whole state will go broke. One hundred and fifty represen tatives of county government and county road boards met In Raleigh last week to declare open war on Governor Gardner's highway pro gram. If the governor were to make a speech saying that he hoped for fair weather on the Fourth of July, there'd be a delegation in Raleigh before the week was out to declare open war on any such a proposi tion. A good many of the counties want to see the extra tax placed on gasoline, but they want to handle the expenditure of funds. Whenever it comes to paying out money, they're willing for the state to do it. but when It comes to spending it. they want to do it themselves. Be sides, If the state were to control maintenance of county roads, mem bers of the boards of commissioners, road boards and other county offi cials wouldn't be absolutely guar anteed that the highways In front of their respective places of abode would be given attention first. It looks as though the proposal to cut salaries of public workers 10 per cent Is going to meet wit hcon slderable opposition. The same Is true of some of the other recommen dations that the governor made lr, his message. Max may be a good governor, but he’s a sorry diplomat. He ought to know our folks well enough by this time to realise that there Is a right and wrong way to handle them. What he ought to have done—at the time he delivered hts message— was to advocate an Increase of 35 per cent In salaries of public workers, turning over all of the roads to the counties, adding a 10 percent raise to all property taxon and letting the Mate prison operate as It has been operated In the past The legisla tors would have listened to the mes sage and then would have swung Into action. The average man, In order to show that he is Intelligent, thinks that It la absolutely essential for him to disagree with other folks. The legislature Is composed Of aver age men. They would immediately have decided that the governor was lull of prunes and horse-radish. In stead of increasing salaries S5 per cent, they would have cut them; in stead of permitting the counties to maintain the roads, they would have Insisted on the state taking them over; instead of raising property taxes, they would have lowered them, and instead of ignoring tile prison situation, they would have tried to solve It. Everything would have been pretty and everybody would have been satisfied, A legis lature is never satisfied unless It thinks It has put something Over on a governor. The situation Is similar to that which prevails between the average husband and wife. If the husband exprecses a certain opin ion, tSe wlfb feels that she Is In duty bound to disagree with him. As soon as the husband ascertains this little fact, be Is able to handle the situa tion diplomatically. | Seems to me that Max has been married long enough to have found this out for himself and that he ought to be able to apply the same theory In handling the legislature. Girls Give Points For Ideal Husbands Oswego, N. Y—The Rev. Walter D. Cavert of Grace Presbyterian church has concluded, after send ing out questionnaires, that girls want the same type of man for a husband that their grandmothers married. Here Is what the girls said they looked for in their prospective mates, given In order of preference: Character, a good dispositionJ earning ability.
