A. G.. Pinkham, who has for some
time past been getting contributions
for the purchase of some trout to
place in Cobbosseecontee, secured 5000
last week and on Wednesday set them
free in the waters of the lake. None
of the fish were under six inches in
length and many of them measured
eight inches, and as the youngsters are
big enough to take care of themselves
they should within short time i'm
prove the fishing at the lake to quite
a degree. Mr.. Pinkham is now engaged
in soliciting funds for the purchase of
another 5000 of the same size of trout.

OPEN LEGAL
GUNS ON THE
AUTO LAW
Contlnned from First Page.

violation of the offence With which
Worth Is charged.
Concerning the two acts MIR. Hast
ings said. There is very little differ
ence In the acts of 1907 and 1909. It
clearly appears from the reading Of
the statues and the noting of The diff
ference between the two. that the Legis-
lature. in the act OF 1909. attempted to
put greater restrictions upon the use
Of automobiles and required a larger
tax to be paid 10 the state. The
penalties in both acts are the same.
except in section Is OF the act OF 1909
longer term of imprisonment is pro-
vided for the third offence"
He said he called attention to the
restrictions to show that the LeRisla-
ture never intended to put out of ex-
istance what Is known as the automo-
bile law. He based his contention that
il the present act is void the old act
comes automatically in force on two
propositions as follows:
An act void because It did not re-
ceive n two-thirds vote upon its final
passage never had the force Of law,
and is void in all its parts, regardless
OF whether there are separate and
distinct sections in it which only re-
qu're a majority vote.
When an act expressly repeating
another act and providing a substi-
tute therefor is found to be invalid,
unless it shall appear that the Legis-
lature would have passed the re-
peal'ng clause even If it had not pro-
v'ded a substitute for the act repealed.
He cited numerous authorities in sup
port of the last proposition.
In rebuttaI, Mr.. Garrett argued that
only section II of the present law
is void that the other sections are
in force and that the penalty clause
of the act Of 1907 could not be con-
sidered part of the present act as
the language of the Legislature ex-
pressiy states that the penalties shall
be imposed for violation Of any part
of the present act and relates to no
act passed at a previous time
