REGULATES CHURCH WORSHIP
French Law Passed After Long Debate
BY the Senate

Paris, Dec. 31.-The senate Saturday
night passed the governments law for
the regulation of public worship. The
vote was 100 to 100. The debate, while
prolonged, was not exciting, being for
the most part a repetition of what had
been said already. Much of it consist
ed of a renewal of the demands that
the government reopen negotiations
with the pope, although the govern
ment speakers reiterated that this was
impossible and could not even be
thought of.

MUST READ RIGHT
Labels on Food You Buy Expected

it Says.
LAW IN FORCE TOMORROW
Nearly All Manufacturers and Dealers
Ready to Comply with Terms
Without Loss.

Tomorrow the pure food law goes
into effect throughout the United
States. 1t is interesting to note that
in this case. as in the case of so many
similar laws, the greatest amount of
good has been done by the enactment
before it has actually been put into
effect
The manufacturers and dealers OF
the United States. ever since the law
was passed, have been putting them
selves in complete readiness for Jan.
l. 1907, at which time it was to 20 into
effect The great value of the law has
been from its moral effect rather than
from the fear of punishment, and it is
this which has made it one of the most
valuable laws ever put on the statute
books.
Present indications are there will be
little or no necessity for any prosecu-
tons. The manufacturers of all sorts
of food products have become con-
WINGED that the mere threat of prose-
cution by the department of agricult-
ure or the publication of the fact tina.
they were violating the law would do
them harm a thousand fold more in
value than the saving they might ac-
complish by the use of adulterated
goods or deceptive labels.
Take No Chances.
As result, the manufacturers of
food products have their own motion
revised their labels stopped the use of
deleterious chemicals. and in every
way have endeavoTed to put their pro-
ducts in such shape that not even the
suspicion of official inquiry will dam
age their reputation.
This movement has been voluntary
on the part of the manufacturers and
dealers. Thousands upon thousands of
letters have been sent in to the de-
partment of agriculture asking for rul-
ings, suggestions. and tentative deci-
sions as to how labels should be chang
ed to meet the new conditions. In
many cases the representatives of
firms and factories have travelled long
distances and spent considerable time
in Washington in conference with Sec.
rotary Wilson and Dr. Wiley.
The result is little short of remark
able. when there is taken into consid-
Grafton the fact that misbranding of
food products was so common a year
ago that it was hardly noticed even by
the most reputable dealers. Great
packers did not hesitate to put up beef
in cans and label it turkey Manufact
urers of fruits and table delicacies saw
no wrong in the use of personalities
and dyes whose injurious effect on the
system was known to every one.

CONSIDER OPINION
Members of Finance Committee
of Board of Supervisors Are
to Meet Wednesday
ACT ON TREASURER'S SALARY
Attorney General Stead Considers Law
Unconstitutional = May Affect
Present Incumbent.

Chairman Garnett of the finance
committee of the board of supervisors
| has called a meeting of the committee
| for Wednesday, for the purpose of con
| sidering action to be taken in the mat
ter of former County Treasurer Lyons
credit on his books of $3,41670 for
services as supervisor of assessments.
The committee will consider the opin-
ion received by the states attorney,
| and will decide on a recommendation
| TO be made to the board. 1t is possible
that the board will be called on to make
some provision for County Treasurer
Cox, for, according to the opinion of
Attorney General Stead, Mr.. Cox is
entitled to but the 500 salary provid-
ed for by the board.
Law Unconstitutional.
According to the attorney general.
the law which provided additional
compensation for the county treasurer
is unconstitutional. In his opinion the
attorney general refers to section 10,
article 10, of the constitution. which
provides that the county board shall!
fix the compensation for all county of
ficers, and that the compensation of no
officer shall be increased or decreased
during his term of office. He says of
the act of the legislature in 1908, that
it attempted to make provision for
paying the county treasurer extra COM
pensatiOn for his services as supervis
or of assessments. This act SO far as
it attempted to provide extra compen-
sation for treasurers is in conflict with
said Section 10 of article 10 of the con-
stitution, and is therefor void"
Service Was Required.
Mr.. Stead holds that the county
treasurer could not recover any addi-
tional compensation whatever, for the
performance of his duties as supervis-
or of assessments He says that no
new office was created, but additional
duties imposed on an existing officer,
and the supreme court has held re-
peatedly that under such >circumstan-
ces an officer is bound to perform the
additional duties for the compensation
fixed by the county board.
