The history of Names prohibition
law il very interesting one. In 1851
it was first passed by the Legislature.
In 1856 it was repealed thru the ener-
getic work of the liquorites. In 1858
it was re- enacted by majority popu-
lar vote of 49, 1888. In 1884 the question
was resubmitted to a popular vote and
was carried by a majority of 4S,972.
Since then the law has been let alone.

The prohibition law of Georgia has
now been tested long enough to show
it's effects for good or bad. So far the
results have been all good. It may be
violated, and no doubt is, but even its
partial enforcement is SO beneficial
that it's repeal can not be thought Of.

OPPOSES ADJUSTMENT.
Andrews Says Assistant Attorney Gen
erai Is Needed for Efficiency.

Charles l.. Andrews of Augusta APP
peared before the committee on legal
affairs Wednesday afternoon In oppo-
siion to the bill abolishing the office
OF assistant attorney general, Rep
rescntative Pattangall the sponsor
for the BILL who is also a member
of the committee announced that h.
would reserve what he had to say up
on the measure until the committee
net in executive session.
The salary which the office carries
is 1880 per Year and Mr.. Andrews
thought that the State saved much
more than that sum by having a man
constantly in attendance at the at
torney generals office and in paving
attention t. details Of the work such
as collecting various forms OF state
taxes, which would be impossible for
the attorney general to attend to
alone.
Mr.. Andrews said that 20 new cor
porations We're organized in Maine
last wear and that. IN many cases,
tie incorporators wanted the business
done quickly. The So fec which each
corporation pays the attorney gener-
al for the use of the State, would
alone make up his salary. In order
to get certificate of incorporation
promptly some one must be in the
| office practically all of the time to
approve the certificates.
The collection Of franchise taxes is
an important matter in which Mr..
Andrews thought the State would suf-
fer We're the office to be abolished:
state taxes amounting To <14S 600,
There is hluch difficulty in collecting
thu taxes. MI Andrews said because
there is no reel penalty for their non
payment. Through the efforts of tho
assistant attorney general large sums
for back Franchise taxes had been
collected during the year. The col
lection Of inheritance taXeS and tn
necessity of giving tpinions i heads
of state departments when called up
ON We're also matters, which made the
abolition of the ot'inc inadvisable.

NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Democrats of the Inner Circle Oppose
Ballot Reform.

1t is quite possible that no new bal
lot legislation will be passed at this
session The revision OF the ballot
law was one of the matters that re-
CeiVed the especial consideration of
the Inner Circle at the runtog"thcr at
the Goodwin House Tuesday night.
Senator Donigan was invited to APP
pear and explain the provisions Of the
Connecticut ballot bill introduced by
him in the Senate, SO it is said. and
after he had explained the act in de-
tail and everybody had listened with
respectful attention Mr.. Pattangall
suggested to him that perhaps the old
ballot law of the State of Maine was
good enough as it was.
This statement of Mr.. Pattangall
would seem To indicate that the lead
ers of the party will eventually be
found arrayed against any change in
the ballot law. 1t is significant in con-
nection with treatment accorded SEN
ator DoniganS measure for the reform
of the ballot that Senator Boynton of
Lincoln, who is one OF the Democratic
members of the Senate fully in touch
with Mr.. Pattangall, has not yet pre-
scented his bin for ballot reform pro-
Viding for the Introduction of the Mas
sachusetts system of ballot. which ii
was announced at the beginning of
the session would be presented by him
early in the session.
The matter of consolidation of State
offices was also taken up at this con-
ference and while some of the leaders
We're reported to be in favor of a con-
solidation Of several of the depart
ments others thought that progress
along this line ought to be made Very
slowly as already those who had been
left out in the distribution of Offices
We're threatening to disrupt the organ
iZation and more offices We're needed

The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Cure
Easily and Cheaply Made mt
Home. Saves You ~.

This recipe makes a pint of cough
syrup-enough to last a family long
time You couldn't buy as much or as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as 1t is, it gives almost in
slant relief and usually stops the most
obstinate cough in "a hours. This is
partly due to the fact that it is slightly
laxative, slim dlates the appetite and
has an excellent tonic effect. 1t is
pleasant to take--children like it, An
cough, sore lungs, asthma, throat
troubles. etc.
Mix one pint OF granulated sugar
with u pint of warm water, and stir
for 2 minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex
(fifty cents wor'h) in a pint bottle
and add the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps per
fectly. Take a teaspoonful every one.
two or three hours.
Pine is one of the oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pincx is the most valu-
able concentrated compound of Nor
way white pine extract, and is rich in
puaicol and all the other natural heal
ing elements. Other preparations will
not work in this formula.

AGRICULTURAL ROOMS
And Closing Of Two Elevators Consd
cred by Public Buildings Committee.

Councillors Pea body and Turgeon
appeared Wednesday evening before
the committee on public grounds and
buildings TO take up With them the
matter of the elevators and the loca-
ton of the agricultural department
rooms. After an informal discussion in
regard to the elevators it was decided
by the committee that as the present
hydraulic power was inadequate Tor
the running of three elevators to close
the two larger new ones and simply
run the old one for the present.
The councillors called the attention
Of the committee to the fact that the
present rooms occupied by the depart
lhent Of agriculture We're desired by
the state auditor and some discussion
followed in regard to the new quarters
on the fourth floor designed for the
agricultural department which most OF
the committee seemed To think We're
both out of the way and Inadequate
for the department.
In view of the fact that the rooms
occupied during the session by the
legal affairs and judiciary committee
were not used during a greater part
al the time II was suggested tndt per =
haps these two rooms might be COM
bined into suitable rooms for the agri-
cultural rooms and the new agricul-
tural rooms be taken permanently for
committee rooms.
The whole matter ended by the on
tire committee and the two councillors
visiting all three of the sets OF rooms
in question and incidentally some
other rooms in the State House a
date will probably be announced later
for a public hearing upon the matter
of the change "t quarters "f the asri-
cultural department.
