Columbus, Feb. 2l.-Representativc
Billingslea, of Butler and Canty of
Hooking were absent when the house
took up the Dean municipal option
bin at . o'clock. The roll cali showed
116 members present
Alexander, of Hamilton county, op-
ened the debate for the vets. He
two votes under the Rose
law they can vote coun-
ty dry as a whole or they may vote
municipality dry If the county as
whole has voted wet in a county
option election. He said the Rose
law was n failure as far as regu-
latng the liquor traffic and that in
many dry places municipal officers
couldn't be elected If they announced
beforehand that they would enforce
the liquor laws.
Guard, of Champaign, n preacher,
said the Dean bill would allow
saloons in practically every village
in dry counties and that saloons
would be forced upon people who
do not want them.
Guard charged that the vets
throughout the state had tried in
every way TO discredit the Rose law
by encouraging the sale of llquor
in dry territory. "If more liquor Is
consumed in dry territory now, ms
charged by the vets, than before
the passage Of the Rose law, why in
the name Of God are the brewers and
distillers fighting for the passage OF
the Dean blll?' asked Guard.
Fellinger of Cnyahoga county de-
Tended the Dean bill as being fair
He said that although half the coun
ty is dry, the per capita consump-
tion Of liquor has increased.
Morris, of Van Vert, declared that
the passage of the Dean bill would
be an admission that the people of
Ohio couldn't secure an enforcement
of the Rose county option law He
said the powerful liquor interests were
trying to force saloons upon counties
that didn't want them

The meat packers, of the two indus
are now far surpassed by the mall
order houses in the matter of profits.
The recent report of Sears, Robuck &s
Company showed net profits for 1910
of $6,759,S76 on gross sales of SOL, l,579.-
S3S, margin of profit amounting to
nearly IL per cent as compared with
less than per cent made on sales
by the packers. The annual sales OF
the Armour and Swift concerns, how
ever, total four times as much as
the mail order houses, and II Is not
likely that in that regard the
packers will lose their prestige. The
International Harvester Company,
western concern "Morganized" report
ed in 1910 approximately the same
sales as Sears, Roebuck & Company
but outclassed the mail order house
in the matter of margins four 10 one
the same ratio in which the mail
order house exceeded the packers.
The Harvester trust" which made
net over s24 1000, 900 on sales of about
100000 in 1910, or approximately
40 per cent. This is twice as great
a margin as made In the United
States Steel Corporation. The COM
parisons as compiled from corpora
tion tax reports is as follows:

PORTLAND. WILL BENEFIT.
Will Become Great Fish Port Says
Large Salt Fish Dealer.

Portland. Me. Jan. 21.-"Reciprocity
with Canada will mean that Portland
will become a great fish port and
should think that the people of Glou-
cester should realize that reciprocity
is their only salvation. The voice of
the country is for reciprocity and
Gloucester should not think of sacri-
ficing business in order to keep a few
old vessels in the fish business" This
sentiment was expressed today by one
of the largest salt fish dealers in this
city.
Another dealer declared that II we
have reciprocity with Canada, it will
mean that more Canadian fish will be
shipped here from Canada and more
fish will be shipped from here to Cana
dian cities. There will be an increased
market for our fresh fish At present
We send quite Il large amount of fresh
fish to Canada. The lobster business in
Portland will be greatly benefited"
A salt fish dealer said Eff it had
not been FOR Newfoundland, we would
not be able to continue our business,
as We cannot obtain fresh fish here"
