The legislature, although Republican aa i t is, has done nothing we Might say to its credit other than endeavor to pass prohibition meas­ ures and the suffrage amendment, One is, compelled to believe th a t these *were for political expediency rather than an act of the heart. Some of the laws passed .are so obnoxious that already the public and press is openly condemning them before a trial is given. One of the new lawstbat goes into effect is a new measure, designed not sv much for the protection of th e people a s i t is to pro­ vide another job for some faithful politician. On: January 1 ,W 20 the present boards of health pass out of existence and we will have a county health officer or health commissioner. He of course will be paid, a handsome salary. Have an office heated and ligted at, the expense of the taxpayers. Will be given a stenographer, stationary,’postage, telephones, free auto service, all a t the expense of the hgnd and. home owners of this county. v The law in itself provides fo r no more protection in the main than what each community has now where the board members a te asked to give their services. The necessary expenditures of the hoard here is from $10Q down, yepr to year, depending on the number of contagious diseases among the poor. In the township' the expense is probably much. less. " ’ • The board of health law is of the Kaiseristic pattern, much like the county school law. The cost of operation is not limited and therefore can climb to several thousand dollars each year. Formerly the. school districts made their expenditures no more than waS necessary. Under, the present law, the oyer-head cost of operation in this county is about $1,000 for each of the twelve months in the year or $12,000 anually. The money for the conduct of county affairs is not shook from a tree \ or dug from the ground hut comes from the pockets of the tax pay­ ers. Regardless, of the fact tha t all the subdivisions of the State are ■ appealing for more funds to keep the schools in operation, repair roads and manage city, village and township governments, the' legislature enacts, a law that wil add additional cost to each county for this new health law- ' Another law tha t is designed to punish the dead! and rob the innocent living is a measure passed th a t where »a person deposits securities in any bank or other institution in this state, upon his o r her death, it cannot be transferred under penalty to the bank or company without an order from the state tax commission or the county auditor, to see whether they have heen returned for taxation. If not, a penalty !s‘pro- • vided, and of course falls on the widow, i f thehusbarid dies^ or the or­ phans as the case may he. ' ' -" » The legislature did not have the' moral courage to provide legisla- . tion to catch the living that were evading taxation. The chances are two to one that the per cent of tax evaders was fifty per cent-greater- oorg the membership than can be found in any given taxing district. ' Legislation to catch the living tax avader th a t is solely responsible -means a loss of votes. ' Like the sniper this body of cowards would force an officer to fall from the rear on the helpless. The public on the average is honest in such matters hut- i t is the ten deney of legislative bodies to force people to be dishonest.' The public - is willing to recognize .a just law arid abide by it hut such Xlaw' as re ­ ferred to will drive the very wealthy citizens out of the state, so f a r as residenship is concerned, or they will rent safety deposit boxes in ■>- other states^ * ' ’ * The legislatures of Ohio of recent years have been noted fop ‘‘bone- ' headed plays’', using the parlance of the street. The Inst one is no ex­ ception, a body of men that lack moral courage and comments in pri­ vate and through the press proves it. No One object to ' the punish­ ment of tax evaders hut let the penalty be on th e guilty'who are re ­ sponsible and not the innocent who Were not responsible fo r a / tax evation. Such legislation breeds disrespect for all laws. The Doctor Bird. One of the humming blids of Ja* males has long”been called ’’doctor bird,” but, curiously, It IS not ihe same blrd-wbich used to be called so in that Island. Gorse, whose “Birds of. Jamaica” is a standard and delightful work od the natural history of the island as he observed It half a century ago, says It was the small mango h ir • mer, now known as “plantain guide,’’;, because of Its preference for the bar nnna blossom. He says the name was given by the people because of the belief thnt It ministers to Its comrades when they are ill or injured, but an­ other writer gives what Is probably the correct version when he says that It got Its nnine through having a much more sober plumage than others of the same family. At tli£ present day, how- J ever, the name is applied almost en­ tirely to the beautiful long-tailed va­ riety, and hardly over to Its duller bfotber. , Whittling Judge of Alabama. ,■I have heard of \vMHlers and hnye seeh a few in my dsy^p'rltos a eontrlH- utor to the Ledger, but the most consistent Whittier within the tangen t ,my memory was. Judge -Sam­ uel Henry Sprott of Tuscaloosa, whose whittling proclivities while on *Hie bench made him known throughout Alabama. Ho was. also known widely for his great knowledge Of laW*“and the administering of if. When Judge Sprott was holding court. there-were always two or three long, dear-stripy pf white pine resting on the desk be­ side him, and When he started op a case he also started whiffling. The more interested he became in the ar­ guments of the lawyers the faster he whittled. It Was very Interesting to watch him, wield the knife; whittling appeared to be second nature to him- Annapolis Very English. s Annapolis, Maryland's quiet, color­ ful little capital, lias n flavor tunazing. !y English, writes Harrison Rhodes in Harper’s Magazine, accompanying his comment with a suggestion that the town would be a suitable site for gotpe 'friendly small celebration of the re­ newed Anglo-AniCricnn.tie welded in the lire of war.
