NEAR-BEER TAX
TO Be COLLECTED
COMPTROLLER GENERAL IN
sTRUcTs ORDINANCES TO Be
GIN AT ONCE.

Atlanta, Dec. 14.-Comptrcllcr Cen
eral w. A. Wright. following the decis-
ion OF the supreme court sustaining
the legality of the state tax of 5000
on dealers in near-beer. has sent out
instructions To ordinaries all over the
state to proceed at once with the col
lection OF the tax and to turn the pro-
ceeds into the state treasury.
The Georgia ordinaries have not
been very eager to get on to this
. job. There is not much compensa-
ton in it for them, only registration
fee OF 81. and then some of them
do not like the idea, implied at least,
of being put in the attitude of de-
tectives to haul delinquent offenders
before the grand iuries, There is
some question still, therefore, as to
Just how the near beer tax law is 60
ing to pan out.
There are ZIG of these ear-beer
dealers in Atlanta. which means an
4. income to the state of $4,000 In this
city 1t has been estimated that
t-there are something like 1000 of them
in the state. which would mean an
income of 100000. all of which must
be used under the law for the support
of the penitentiary department.
The only point made by Justices
Atkinson and Holden. the two of the
supreme court judges out of the six
who dissented. was that the ordinary
was not the proper officials to collect
. this tax.

Some ot the Good Things It Has in
 Store. .. .
 Twenty-nine men became members of the recently organized mems club in Sheffield. says the Berkshire Courier: A number of others have asked to be also counted as members, so the club practically starts with membership of between 30 and 40. Although tho meet Ing was held in the Congregational parlors and was attended principally by members of the Congregational parish, the opinion was expressed that it would be we'll to make the broader in its scope. sufficiently so to be club not only of the several churches of the town but in fact town club, and it is probable that this idea will be made effective. These officers were elected: President, Dr. A. T. Wakefield; vice president, MT. Geibel; secretary. MT. Jesse Davis; treasurer. MT. Dwight Boardman; committee on ways and means, Messrs. George B. McCann, A. F. Howes, R. F. Little. Fred Shook and MT During. Plans for the clubs winter work were dis cussed and ill general way it was agreed that there should be a meeting once a month and that a mems supper should be given under club auspices in January. and that probably great deal of attention would be given to Sheffield "reminiscences and historical matter. At the next meeting a paper will be pre- sented defining definitely the object and aims of such an association. It is prob- able that the club will during the winter be addressed by one or more out of town speakers.

Some Interesting Statistics Relative to
 the Next Body of Lawmaker

Some Interesting Statistics Relative to
 the Next Body of Lawmakers.
 In the office of the Secretary of Stat statistics have been compiled relative tC the membership of the incoming general assembly.
 Of the 255 members of the House, it appears, there are 199 who are natives of Connecticut and of these 130 represent the towns in which they were born. Of the 56 other members, 42 were born in other states and IA in foreign countries.
 Among the 35 senators there are 27 natives of the state, which is practically the same proportion as in the House. There are six natives of other states and three ot foreign birth. Take the Assem- ply all together and it appears that of its 290 members, 226 are natives of Con. necticut.
 There are 203 married men in the House. 10 single men and II widowers. If the social side of the coming session is to be developed, there are 51 oppor- tunities of interest. In the Senate there are S2 married men and two single men.
 The House will have SS farmers in its membership out of 255 members, or about 35 per cent. The Senate shows four farmers, or less that l2 per cent. There are three lawyers in the Senate and 22 in the House, 20 manufacturer in the House, and five in the Senate, and 2l merchants in the House and six in the Senate.
 The proportion of Connecticut-born members to total members in each county works out as follows:-

THE SPENDING
 0F STATE MONEY
GOVERNOR WOODRUFF EXPLAINS
Startling Increases in the Various Departments 1908 Expenditures Exceeded Those of 1907 by More Than 100000.

A "In Comptroller Bradstreet's report for the year ending September 30, 1908, just made public, startling increases in expenses of various departments for the past 10 years are shown says the New Haven Journal Courier: While there are slight decreases in a few of them during the past year, tho increases in some of them are tremendous and the total increase over 1907 Is greatly in ex cess of $l, ,OOO, ,000. The figures for 1907 are 8, 453, 800. 53 and those for 1908 are $4, 733, ,9o57I. Those of 10 years ago are $2, ,422, ,136. .94, showing that the expendi- lures of the state are increasing at a rapid rate.
 Some of the greatest increases are found in the contingent expenses where the expenditures in 1908 increased from $40, 794.35 to $156, 1888. 16; ill the care of the state paupers where the expenditures increased from $5,621.15 to $31, ,50S. "A; Tn the matter of agricultural affairs. where the expenditures increased from $Sl ,066.17 to $136, ,363.S1; in the depart ment of the fish and game commission where the increase for the year is from $9, ,946.53 to $26, ,S23.S7; in the depart ment of special commissions where the increase is from $1O2, ,S5S.21 to $546, ,052.69.
 Perhaps these increases would not be so alarming if the total expenditures of the state had not left a deficit of $8l6, ,000 for the year over the receipts with no hope for reducing this deficit in the coming year.
 "Gov. Rollin s. Woodruff said that he felt certain in predicting that the de- felt next year would be much greater than the one in the year just closed. The only remedy for reducing the ex penditures is more care on the Tart ci the Appropriations Committee. People, said the Governor, are very willing tc spend what belongs to someone else and for this reason the Appropriat ons Com mittee is very lavish i'll granting what ever is asked for. The only way to keeI the deficit from piling up again and ragaln is to curb the Appropriations Committee.
 "While the appropriations in genera, have been increasing every year, Gov Woodruff explained some of the princi pal ones of the past year. The con tingent expenses of the past year in cluded the putting out of $110,000 tc make free bridges through the state The increase in the care of paupeIs and the maintenance of humane institutions is due to the fact that the towns are putting all the poor and insane on the state when possible. The large increase in the Agricultural Department is duo to the building of dormitory at Storrs for the Connecticut Agricultural College the increase in the appropriations fo1 special commissions is the result of the building of the Armory at Hartford.
