BILLS EARLY IN
LEGISLATURE
Determined Stand is to Over
come Tendency to Delay
New Legislation
URGES CHANGE IN
THE MUSKRAT SEASON
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del., Jan. 16.—Members
of both parlies In Senate and House
ire determined that It, shall not bn
their fault If prospective legislation
1» not introduced early In the pres
ent session. Contrary to the general
belief, the members of tho Legislature,
do not draw most of the bills they
Introduce. As a matter of fact, but,
very few bills are prepared by a mem
ber. Most of the measures presente,a
to the Legislature are sent to mem
bers by their constituents, or the
members of the Legislature have the
bills prepared tp carry out sugges
tions of constituents.
The general inclination is to blame
the Assemblymen if there Is a' scar
city of bills Introduced; in the early
weeks of the Legislature and a rush
of measures toward the close of tho
session. Hut the members, in most
instances, are not at fault for this
condition of affairs, as most, persons
■ interested In sonic phango in a law'
or desirous of having a now law en
acted delay In having the bill pre
pared for presentation in the Stale's
law-making body.
To serve notice on^ Ihe public that
all bills must be prepared without
delay and be introduced early. Sena
tor Reinhardt, after a consultation
with some of his colleagues of both
parties yesterday, offered his resolu
tion living February 10 as a date be
yond which no new bills could be
Introduced. The Senate adopted the
resolution after Senators Reinhardt,
Ewing, Gorraley and Fooks, had spok
en ol the necessity ot the public
sending in bills without delay.
The resolution was sent to Ihe
House late In the afternoon and was
adopted unanimously there, too on
motion of Representative Hoffecker.
So all persons who propose to have
bills introduced in the Legislature
had better get busy with them, as the
present assembly expects to get
through its work early in March.
Affects County Offices.
Representative Mooney yesterday
afternoon introduced his bill to abol
ish the fee allowances to all county
officers in the three counties of the
Btate. The amendment eliminates
the portion of the present law that
gives the county officers a percentage
of the fees they collect, but does not
propose to change the present sala
ries.
Representative Grantland gave no
tice of a bill to authorize former Re
ceiver of Taxes Robert M. Burn; to
collect all outstanding county taxes
in New Castle county for tho years
1910, 1911 and 1912. Mr. Grantland
says he has not received the bill as
yet and docs not know what it will
provide.
Change Muskrat Season.
Senator David introduced a hill to
change Ihe legal season for taking
muskrats in Delaware. He claims
that the present season is too long
and a shorter season would rive the
"marsh rabbit" some protection from
extinction and also would mean a
better quality of fur. The muskrat
Industry has become very extensive
in parts of the State where marshes
abound, and some hunters fo. the
busy little animal net more than a
thousand dollars
muskrat crop, while the dealers in
the pelts also make a big profit. The
hide« have sold a high a ninety cents
apiece.
In the eastern end of Senator
David's district the muskrat industry
is important and lucralivc to some
of his constituents. The present open
season is from November 20 to March
15. Senator David proposes to change
Hie opening of the season to Decem
ber 1, and-to end it about ihe first
of Marsh.
Want Game Barden.
Representative Bradford introduced
a bill to give the Game and Fish Com
mission Ihe appointment of thn Fish
Commissioner for the Siale. That of
ficial is now appointed by the Gover
nor for a term of four years. The
Game Commission proposes Dial It
be permitted to name the Fish Com
missioner at a salary It shall deter
mine and to hold office at the com
mission's pleasure. It is proposed
that the Fish Commissioner shall he
roine the chief game warden of Ihe
State.
Démarrais Ban! DelecHiees.
Representative Hammond gave no
tice that he will introduce a hill tak
ing the appointment of the two Stale
detectives away from the Governor
and giving the appointing power to
the attorney general. This hill evld

"It requires no great effort to have

"The only requirement is that It be

mixture. This will give the hair a
chance to help itself, and when this is

"Nothing ran equal plain canthrox,
