There was some lively scurrying
about Thursday morning by members
of the joint committee on temper
ance who did not attend the hearing
last Wednesday evening when they
learned that in their absence and
without a quorum present, the COM
mittee had voted to report favorably
six OF the most radical bills under
consideration. The bills were: S.
1902, which relates to the location Of
license places; II. 1873 allowing wom-
en- TO vote on the question OF license
or no license; II. 31S providing for
county instead of local option; H. 1893
preventing the furnishing Of liquor,
in dwellings TO persons under Is
years OF age; II. AS to allow commits
sioners to summarily close a license
| place and II. 21S.
The members present at the meet
ing were the four Senate members OF
| the committee and Mr.. Elliott and
Mr.. Fletcher of the House committee.
BY quick work and some energetic
talk these reports we're headed of
and at a meeting OF the committee
this evening when a quorum was pre-
sent, the reports on these bills were
altered somewhat.
At the hearing Thursday evening,
Superintendent Ferguson appeared in
opposition to the bill introduced by
Mr. Peck OF Burlington which pro
vides for the granting of an eighth
class license to organized clubs to
serve liquor under certain restric-
tons to members Mr.. Ferguson
thought this would tend to encourage
the use OF liquor. or the bills max.
ing a change In the method OF appoint
/ ing license commissioners Mr.. Fergu-
! son preferred the Maun bill, which
provides for their appointment by a
state commissioner. who is appoint
ed by the governor.
Mr.. Maun Of st. Adams spoke in
favor of his bill.
IL has been thought all along that
no radical changes in the present liq-
uor law would be attempted at this
session, but the present attitude OF
the temperance committee would in.
dicate that as far as It is concerned
this may not be true and II would
not surprise some If some sort OF a
referendum were reported favorably

LEGISLATIVE NOTES

Unless the governor interferes the
state has passed beyond the infiiction
of capital punishment by the passage
in the senate Of the Amey bill relat-
ing to homicide. This bill provides
that capital punishment shall be in
dicted in cases of murder only when
the jury finding a conviction shall
add to it's verdict the words with
capital punishment" 1t is believed
by those opposed to the death penal
ty that only in cases presenting cir
cumstances of gross cruelty would a
jury add this penalty to the verdict
and that when this bill is signed by
the governor it will mean the practic-
al abolition of the death penalty in
this state.

FOUR MILLION ACRES

LANDS WILL BE TAKEN FROM
FOREST RESERVE AND REsToR.
ED ITO PUBLIC DEMAND.

Washington. Feb. l0.-More than
four million acres of land will be
stripped from the forest reserves of
the United States in the near future
and restored to the public domain for
homestead settlement through the gov.
einmcnts policy in carrying out the
Clifford Pinchot ideas as to the elias.
sification OF forest lands This is the
initial result OF President Tafts aprov.
a! of plan jointly submitted to him
a few days ago by Secretaries Wilson
and Ballinger for the classification of
these lands.
The lands involved in the restora.
tion for settlement are those not
suitable for forest purposes and repre-
sent more than per cent of the total
, forest area, As three-tenths of the
forest domain still is unclassified,
II is difficult to estimate what will be
the total elimination when the whole
area has been mapped out.
The great area, il was announced
today, which would be eliminated from
the forests. is scattered throughout the
reserves. The new plan Is expected

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE defense
lessness of the Pacific Coast as alleg-
ed in the resolution of Representative
McLachlan, of California, that called
for report on army conditions, is
revealed in a report soon to be filed
by the Chief OF staff General Wood
according to reliable information.
The report is said to be the most COM
prehensive expose of the army's con-
dition ever made public. 1t is prob
able that Wood will attribute the mill
itary deficiency to several causes. 1t
will be asserted the army is divided
into small units in order that a num-
ber of political posts might be gar

men lack proper training but will re-
commend an entire reorganization of
the army. Among recommendations
will be the abandonment of unneces-
sary military posts and the central
ization of troops in large garrisons on
the two ocean frontiers.
