The Descoteaux Bill.

The bill introduced by Representative
DescoteauX, which provides for the week
ly payment of wages by corporations. has
been declared constitutional by the Mass
achusetts supreme court and the propon-
entS of the measure claim that one of its
effects will be to prevent the wages OF
those who receive less than SO weekly
from being subject to the trustee process
as they would be if they We're paid fort
nightly. Representative MaComber of
Winthrop has also introduced a similar
bill applying to firms as we'll as corpor-
ations. The full text of the Descoteaux
bill is as follows:
Section !. Every manufacturing. min
ing or quarryng, mercantile, railroad.

A. q. Young of the State BOARD of Health
Saturday in discussing the matter Local
boards have. under the law, authority to
require the observance of precautions
against the spread of the infection Of in
fantile paralysis, but householders and
physicians have been under no legal obl-
cation to report cases to local boards of
health. II has. therefore. been impossible
for the State board to know how many
eases there We're in 1910. 1t is certain.
however. that the disease was much more
prevalent than ever before, though not
in 50 alarming a degree as in some other
states. The State board, through n col
lective investigation aided by physicians
and local boards of health, is trying to
get as correct history of infantile par
alysis in Maine in 1910 as possible, and as
an aid to future work against that dis
ease the board has made the following
rules and regulations:

VIII undoubtedly produce the lYeliest

The proposed public utilities act is
such a radical measure that discussion
over ii is likely to prolung the SEES
SION To au even later date than will
apparently be necessary on account of
the lcisureiv pace at which the i.egis-
lature has ambled along during the
first -four weeks Of its session. There
Is even said To be a possibility now
that the public utilities bill may not
b. passed although II was ANONYMOUSLY
agreed upon by the Democratic caucus
for not all al those Who supported ii
in tho caucus understood just how
radical and wide sweeping the measure
was in its provisions. When the mem
btrS of the Legislature have an OPP
portnnitY. as they will this week after
getting 4 glimpse of the printed mcaS-
urc in its entirety to observe Just how
radical the measure is il is predicted
that some Of the more conservative

drastic features are removed. ON the

grant until said utility shall have first
exhausted all its rights before the
commission.
rs viii be remembered a great deal
of opposition WAS manifested to MIR.
Davies act when it appeared in the
18th legislature and there is no doubt
but everything that can bc urged in
opposition To Mr.. Davies bill can be
urged with largely increased force
against the Pattansall Scatcs bill. The
question will also arise as To where
an he secured men competent Ia ex-
eieiSe the broad powers conferred in
the new act. As nothing is said about
bipartisan commission it IS to be
presumed that the Democrats intend to
take all five of the commissioners from
those of their own party faith. Thus
far but one Democrat has been sug-
@cSted as measuring up Ia the size
demanded by the provisions Of this

from Al million dollars in 1907 to 10
|million in 1911. Breadstuffs show a
marked decline, from 263 million dol
lars in 1900 to 1874 million in 1907 and
to l24 million in the year just ended.
This loss occurs chiefly in wheat and
wheat flour, since corn exports in
1911 were 36 million dollars in value.
compared with rs million in 1910,
while those of wheat and -four as
whole showed in 1911 total of only
Il million dollars, compared with IS
million in 1910 and 122 million in
1907.
Tobacco, fruits and nuts, and vege-
tables, however, have moved counter
to the general downward trend in the
movement of farm products. each of
these classes shwoing gains not only
over 1910 but also over the high re-
cord year 1907. Exports of tobacco
increased from SO million dollars in
1907 to 80 million in 1911; those Of
fruits and nuts, from IL IL million to
"a 1-2 million; and those of vege-
tables, from million to IL million
