CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Numerous bills
aimed at the liquor traffic in various
States throughout the country, intro
duced during the first six weeks of this
year, show that the Prohibitionists are
zealously active. Up to the present
time $50 bills, many of them of the
first Importance, have been offered.
Ten States now have Prohibitionist
Senators or Representatives in their
Legislatures. 1t is also reported that
'resubmission," although widely ad-
vertised, has failed to elicit any popu-
lar response in either Maine or Kansas,
while legislation Strengthening pro-
hibition enforcement is scheduled for
passage in each of these States.
Campaigns for complete prohibition
are commanding public attention in at
ments for uniform county option laws
are at fioodtide and measures toward
that end have been introduced and are
pending.
Prohfbitionists are sounding warn
ing against high license as a subst.-

sort of the saloon interests to keep
the real issue from popular notice In
six States fullfedged movements are
under way for State high license legis-

ARMY OF HANGERS ON
SPECIAL p1spAroH TO THE GALL

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Municipal own
ership theories as practiced by Mayor
Dunno are costing the city of Chicago
a pretty penny. This is shown in the
marvellous growth of the city's law de-
partment, both as to number of persons
employed and to the aggregate ex-
penses.
In 1903 the total expense of the cor
poration counsels Office was $4,000.
This was increased in 1904 to $106.522.
In 1905, the first year of the Dunno
administration, the office cost s149.063.
Estimates for the year 1906, the figures
not yet being compiled, give total of
over $200,000.
During the first six months of last
year the city spent for its law advisers
$97,S46, as compared with S62.345 for
the corresponding period of the pre-
vious year.
At the same rate of increase the ex-
penses of the law department will ex-
ceed s250,00o for the current year, not
taking into account the heavy additions
required by the taking over of the City
Attorneys work. The law department
seems to have been the refuge for a
large number of more or less political
lawyers who endeared themselves to

Municipal Ownership. There were, of
course. no civil service requirements in
the corporation counsers office, and the
places had to be provided for the men
who had made themselves useful. One
after another of them was sent to the
corporation counsers Office.
AS the Office could not get along
without the force which had been
trained in city work, nearly all the old
force was retained. It is related at the
City Hall that in at least a dozen cases
Corporation Counsel J. Ham Lewis, in
the jargon of the corridors, went to
the mat" with the Mayor and succeeded
in preventing the retention of men
without any qualifications to do the
work. In other instances, however, the
doughty colonel was unable to over
come the political claims of the ap-
plicants. and they went on the pay roll
permanently.
The real work of the office, however,
continues to be done by the old-timers
who were kept on, Notwithstanding the
fact that they were all Harrison men.

fading gradually into blue; the tail
feathers when spread are indeed a
bright beautiful blue and he utters the
harsh note of the blue-jay tribe with
