Rep. Glass Gives
Report Of News
In Legislature
It is too early in the session
for us to tell just what is going
to develop in the way of legislat-
ion, for no major controversial
legislation has come before either
twdy of the Legislature for a direct
vote. Most of, the controversies so
far have dealt with minor meas-
ures, such as the Cross-Filing Bill
and rules changes.
One of the most important stru-
ggles in the Legislature will pro-
bably revolve around the proposed
increased pay for teachers. We can
see the lines forming definitely
in this struggle, but no one can
tell yet what the outcome will be;
for the measures pertaining to
this raise are still pending in the
committees.
As for the Automobile Inspect-
ion Law, the fight for its repeal
also promises to be difficult and
perhaps bitter. There is a large
group here pledged to fight for
the repeal of that law, but there
is also a group working to modify
and revise the law.
Of course, it is entirely too ear-
ly to say what will be done about
old-age assistance or pensions.
Anything done to raise old-age
assistance will have to be preced-
ed by a constitutional amendment
to be voted on by the people, since
the people adopted a constitution-
al amendment in 1945 setting a
ceiling of 35 million dollars on
welfare spending by the Legislat-
ure; and the Legislature is already
appropiating 33 million dollars to
care for the welfare services,
which include old-age assistance,
aid to the blind and aid to dep-
endent and neglected children.
A bill has been introduced to
legalize gambling on horse racing,
but it is difficult to tell just how
much support it will get. It may
become very controversial, and it
may not.
A bill has been introduced mak-
ing twenty-two congressional dis-
tricts in the state, and there will
be some bitter fighting over this
measure before it is finally passed.
Naturally I am very much opposed
to the redistricting bill as introduc-
ed for it placé* Cherokee County
on the edge of a new district.
The House has passed a joint
resolution proposing a constitut-
ional amendment to be submitted
to the people in July, 1954, fixing
the pay of the members of the
Legislature. I do not know what
the measure will be when it is
finally submitted to the people
and I voted against it as it was
passed by the House. Anyway, it
will have to be submitted to the
people for ratification; and, if ad-
opted, the increase will have to
be approved by the people, and
will not take effect until 1955.
I intend to write rather full
letters to the papers on each of
the major questions being consid-
ered by the Legislature.
One New Case Is
Filed On County
Criminal Docket
Only one new case was entered
on the Criminal Dockets in the
office of the County Court, ac-
cording to the Clerk, Mr. E. B.
Musick, Jr.
The case was a charge of Driv-
ing While Intoxicated against
John Henry McCullough, who was
named as Defendant. The case was
filed on February 3, and is
numbered 14470.
No cases were filed on the
Criminal Docket for the week pro-
ceeding this, Mr. Musick stated.
o
The Case of the
Missing Cake Is
Easily Solved Here
They were polite "thieves" in-
deed who left a note at the scene
of their crime, reeenfly, and even
signed their names.
Mrs. Carl Rogers, better known
around Rusk as Hettie, decided
that her cook stove needed to be
regulated, so she called upon the
people who'd installed the stove,
and who were, incidontly, very
good friends of her family.
When she returned, the stove
was perking just right, and she
found on top of the ice-box—and
on top of a* partly consumed
pound cake, this note:
"Hettie,
George and I enjoyed the cake
very much. Hope you doii't mind.
Please have the stove fixed again
soon, and have another cake
cooked.
Bill." .
Of course, Bill and George
could be two other people, but
their initials are Parijott and
Monroe.
P. S. She will cook another.
