POLITICAL PROMGIBS
.. I^-gidatures are funny things.1
Kvery state in the union has a leg-I
islatuie. Our state owns a nice one. I
It is supposed to be ill session 10 j
days; they are paid for their
10-day s' -crvices and mnnv of the
, leg"~fnfbjs clear enough money to.
run their one-horse farms when they j
gel home. (When they legislate over
... . t 1.1 -J?x- - 1 *' >iJU
40 days, why, sure they get extra
pay: why not?)
*
. For the past few years, our legi?lature.
and pqaeibVy y<?ura, ?p?nd? 40
days talking, and going down and
coming back home. Ours got busy
though thin year and (hiring the first
40 days, they enacted the following
bills;
Bill No. 507,432-?To make it
against the law to hunt foxes in
July.
Bill No. 567,433?To permit
t.iwn of Bunkvillc to sell vacant lota
in its cemetery.
Hill No. 507,343?'To regulate bull
frogs.
Bill No. 307,433 To investigate the
office of chief janitor in Buck college.
,.\ly l.'ncle Joe thinks it would pay
< a:' stole to send a covey of parrots
to the legislature for the first 40
days to talk, and then send the duly
elected legislators down or up and
allow them to stay in session 10 days
only. As the parrots will have done
all of the talking, they won't have
anything to do but legislate.
..Think of 200 fine, big. intelligent
men.... spending 40 days doing what
3 of the same type of men could do
just as well and possibly better in
4o hours. But that's politics. Most
legislators are always trying to introduce
fool bills that they think will
help them to get re-electod. Why,
even some of our congressmen are
playing politics and don't seem to
realize that <?ur country is facing an
emergency.
..Running a legislature is (possibly)
a big job. . . .if you let a small minority
hook a hook Ir. the nose of the
big majority. There is always a J
sort of "ring" in the legislature....
meaning, a bunch that knows e\ei\
hing: how. why. when, and wherefore....
an-l is pretty liberal with criteria
n incut to! various and sundi\
f.tcm-l that anp' H ^ to 'he Jel.o'A

theii" corporation. or their t"iN\n. .
..or their favorite college or institution....
or possibly their proposed
highway.... and niebbe their kinfolks
. . . all pulling for a few and trying
to oppress the many. Our legislature
seems to be as good as any and
better than some, but they don't work
any on Saturdays and Sun<tays and
Mondays very little on Tuesdays,
not much more on Wednesdays, about
the snme on Thursdays and very
little, if any, on Fridays. In other
words, they seem to have a 4-,day
week and a 2-hour day. Good-night.

Retired Capitalist
Dies In New York
*
Now York, April 16.?Eli Baxter
Springs, former mayor of Charlotte,
N. C., retired cotton and stock broker
and prominent railroad man, died
today after an operation for trail
atones. He was 81 years old.
Mr. Spring*, a bachelor, wins a
brother of the late Col. I^eroy
Springs,, textile magnate, and an uncle
of C'apt. Elliott White Sprirurs, of
Fort Mill, Sr. C., war-time aviator and
author. His sister, Mrs. John M.
Scott; a brother, Richard A. Springs, j
ami a nephew, Eli Spring's, 2nd, were
at his bedside. He is survived by
another brother, Brevard Springs. >
Funeral services and interment ,
took place in Charlotte last .Satur- t
day. |
Mr. Springs came to New York
from North Carolina in 11)02 ami en-j
! to rod the brokerage business. Up
I to the time of his death he was a^
member of the New York Cotton Kx- j
change and largely interested in various
mills.
He also was prominent in railroad
circles and a director of the Southern
Railway system, in which he held a
large interest.
Ho was an arderft art collector and
a respected authority. I^he walls of
his residence hero were covered with
raro etchings, print?* and paintings.
Louisiana Citizens
Want Long Ousted
Washington, April 15.?A petition^
filed by a score of citizens of his1
I
I state, asking removal from the Sen- ,
ate of Huey P. Long, self-.-tyled i
Louisiana "Kingtish". on charge- of
{personal dishonesty and corrupt ion,
| was before the elections committee i
! today.
! ( h.iirman Cleorgc. c/1 that, commit- ,
tee, said that if the petition on'an!
e.l anything that "goes ft o the right
'of l.ong to hold his >eat a "prove:' :n'
vestigati??n" would be made.
Long -"iid: "1 don't know anything!
about it and 1 don't care."
The petitioners included mostly
farmers from St. Francisville, Laurel
HiLl, Bains, Wilson and Plettenborg.
They said similar petitions would
follow from other parishes, and asserted
they could prove by witnesses
that Ix>ng was "personally dishonest,
corrupt and immoral." His continuance
in office, they added, was "repulsive
to the respectable and lawabiding
citizens of Louisiana and to
the nation."
Pretzel Production
| The return of legal beer has
brought the pretzel back to its own.
Pennsylvania leads all the states in
I the production of pretzels and appears
to have been the first 'North
American home of the crooked cracker.
Approximately 30,000,000 pounds
of pretzels are manufactured each
year. This year there will be many
more because the. pretzel makers had
to turn out about 10,000,000 pounds
before April 7 in order to have a supply
to meet the demand.
Department of Agriculture grain 1
chemists have found that flours of
high protein content have a tendency
to produce pretzels of hard and flinty
texture; that flours of low-protein
content cause trouble in the rolling
machines and produce a poorer shape
ami size prodiuct; that the "clear"
flours when used alone tend to proihice
pretzels of poor outside and inside
color, of inferior tastfe, and of
uncertain keeping quality.
They have also found that sound
flours of both the straight and patent
grades, containing eight to 10.6 per
cent of protien and not over 0.50 per
cent ash. like those milled from soft
red winter wheat, are satisfactory
for pretzel making and that a satisfactory
pretzel flour can be made by
blending hard wheat Hours and soft
wheat flours of high and low protein
