economical and safer than

Moving Days.

Moving days have begun in the ag-
gricultural department. Those con
nected with that department are pack
ing up its belongings in order that
they may be moved to the rooms oc-
cupied by the financial committee dur
ing the last Legislature Action or
dering the removal was taken by the
Executive Council at its last meeting
In connection with this change it was
also voted to move the auditors de-
partment into the rooms of the com
mittee on agriculture while the State
treasurer was given the communicate
ing office formerly occupied by the
State auditor.
The news of this change is likely tC
arouse something of a protest from
the farmers and friends of the depart
ment all over the State. AS will be
remembered the last Legislature early
in the session refused to pass an order
instructng the superintendent of build
ings to remove the commissioner OF
agriculture to the quarters on the
fourth floor designed for it by the
building commission, but later an or.
der was passed leaving with the Gov
error and Council the power to change
departments when they deemed II
necessary.

The Best Way Out.

Many of the Maine municipalities
have decided that the best way out of
the present difficulty in regard to the
assessment of taxes caused by the
failure of the 18th Legislature to pass
the 1911 tax act in form containing an
clause is to obtain the
of the State tax from the State
assessors and To make up the lists as
usual but not to commit them until
after they have received their State
warrant. This will do away with
of the delay that would
otherwise be caused.
The State board of assessors has re-
ceiVed for the past few days from 10
to 20 letters each day from town Of
ficers asking what the amount of the
State tax is to be and registering a
vigorous protest against the new
tangled tax act that prevents their
aging the tax until in July. Many of
the towns and cities have been ac-
customed in the past to make their
collections earlier than July.

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council
Wednesday, May II, at 2 p. M.

Hon. James w. Bracket of Phillips,
chairman of the commissioners of in
land fisheries and game, Friday sub
mitted to the attorney generals de-
partment the two conflicting acts
passed by the 18th Legislature in re-
gard to white perch fishing. Assis-
tant Attorney General Tupper after
looking over the two acts quite hastily
said that he thought the effect of the
general law signed March 80 limiting
the number of white perch to be taken
in any one day to Is, was simply to
repeal whatever part of the act passed
earlier in the session, amending Sec
tion III of tha Public Laws of 1909 re-
lating TO the taking of white perch so
that it should exempt white perch in
the inland waters of the county of
Washington, was inconsistent with the
later act. That is, the effect of the
second act instead of repeating the en-
tire old statute and its amendment.
simply makes ineffective the 20-pound
limit and places it at l. to conform to
the new general law, but does not kill
the amendment exempting the white
perch in the inland waters of the
county of Washington from its effects.
This Interpretation of the law will be
received with great joy by the resi-
dents of Washington county who do
not at all value white perch and de-
sire to have them caught and shipped
out of the county in order that they
may stock the waters with trout and
salmon, which they esteem of much
greater value. 1t is somewhat sur
prsing to a Central Maine fisherman,
who regards white perch as the most
valuable fish that we have in many of
our lakes, to learn that the fish is in
such i'll reputc in Washington county,
but nevertheless such is the ease.
The Washington county amendment
to the general law was introduced by
Representative Bogue of East Machias
early in the session and il WAS intend
to conform t. the amount et white
perch allowed to be taken under the
new general law but by some over
sight the provision of the old statute
was left in. According to the opinion
of Assistant Attorney General Tupper
the new law placing the limit of white
perch to be taken at II pounds will
govern after July !, and the amend
ment providing that this limit shall
not apply to white perch In the inland
waters of Washington county will also
become operative then.
