Man; Bills Passed Mrs. Laird, Essex Republican, got through two more of her bills aim ing at equal rights for women. One gives the mother an equal right to tlie earnings of a child with that of tho father, and the other gives a wife the right to her earning made with lng the home, as well as those made outside tho home. There was some opposition to the first measure, on the ground that it would lead to marital quarrels. With some trouble. Mr. Moore, of Mercer, Republican, passed a bill designed to put out of business traveling companies which give carnivals for the benefit of local charities, legion posts, etc., and, It is alleged, walk oft with most of the proceeds. The bill requires that 90 per cent, of the gross receipts at such affairs be turned over to the alleged beneficiary, and the con sent of 60 per cent, of the residents of the section where the show Is to be staged give their consent. The Idea is to make only locally pro moted enterprises of this character possible. The vote was Sl-7. Republican'Assemblyman Roeg ner, of Passaic, tried and failed again to Introduce a bill appropriat ing *7,780 to be used in giving leg islative employes a fifteen per cent increase.

There was some opposi tion from the Democratic side of the House, minority leader Gaede oppos ing it “on genera! principles,” the idea being that yearly changes in the election law do little good and cause much ignorance and confusior among e’ecticn r fficers.
