State Law Library Catalogue.

Rev. Henry E. Dunnack, the State
librarian, has just sent to press a COM
plete catalogue of the law library de-
partment of the State library. probably
the first complete catalogue of the
States law library that has ever been
made. The catalogue will be ready for
distribution about Jan. 1 and will be OF
great convenience to the members of
the legislature as well as the lawyers
of the State.
This is the great law library of the
State containing approximately 10000
volumes exclusive of government re-
ports. Most of the counties have law
libraries but on a much smaller scale.
The State library buys all standard
law text books and law reports of all
the states and Canadian and European
countries as well. This State law Ii
brary is intended to be inclusive of
every legal work needed in the practice
of any lawyer or law specialist.

Inspecting Fishways

Chairman Harry b. Austin and
Frank f. Mace of the commission were
in Bangor and Neazie Thursday for the
purpose of inspecting the fishways at
the Bangor and Neazie dams They
We're accompanied by Chief Warden
Fred q. Weber and the veteran eX-
pert, Frank NJ. Perkins of Bradley The
inspection showed the fiShway at the
Bangor dam to be in excellent condi-
ton. That at the Veazie dam was not
found in that condition and the COM
mlSSioners, after careful examination,
decided that a rev fshway must he
erected. 1t is said that fish cannot get
through the Veazie fishway even at
high water. The work of construction
will be done this fall or winter. so that
the fishWay may be ready for the fish
next season.
COMMISSIONER Mace remarked Fri
day that the warm weather had pre-
vented much hunting in the big woods
and that large amount of the game
brought out through Bangor had spoil
cd. on the same account.
The fish and game department has
been asked again and again if the law
protected seal which has been playing
about the river in the vicinity of the
dam, the inquirers evidently anxious to
shoot the little chap. They have all
been informed of the laws bearing on
the shooting of seals and also that it
would seem to be a shame to take the
life of the poor little fellow, which has
wandered so far from Its own fire.

SHALL WOMEN BE ALLOWED
TO PRACTICE LAW HERE?

Shall women be permitted to prac-
tice law in the state Of Georgia? This
is a question which is causing much
discussion among the attorneys who
are gathered in Savannah for their
annual convention. The matter came
up on the first day OF the session.
which will come to close today.
Robert c. Aston. of Atlanta. at
the opening session of the convention,
introduced the resolution providing
for the placing OF women lawyers on
the same footing with male attorneys.
After a sharp discussion the conven-
ton adjourned. allowing the resolu-
ton to lay over.
When Mr.. Aston read his resolu-
ton, A. Il. Rosser, of Atlanta, moved
that 1t be tabled. This brought in
slant opposition from Mr.. Aston,
who, after some discussion insisted
that the matter be voted upon at
once. In speaking in favor of the
resolution he declared he had been
requested TO introduce it by the Equal
Suffrage Party of Georgia. He said
there were now only three states that
withheld this law from its books,
naming them as Georgia, Arkansae
and West Virginia. That is not very
good company for Georgia" he said,
land this state neds a better CLASH
ncation."
Mr.. Aston was called to a point of
order by Mr. Rosser a general dis
cussion as to the procedure to be
taken then followed. Mr.. Rosser TAX

forces. Others who took part in this

and y. L. Hutchinson The motion to
adjourn was made by Mr.. Hutchinson
and carried ~ TO q, count of those
voting being taken.
Mr.. ROsser's contention in opposing
immediate action on the resolution
was that a full attendance was not
present and that additional members
of the association would be present
at a later meeting
Let us wait until tomorrow" Mr..
Rosser said, before taking action on
ton to this effect The motion re-
ceived a second from Judge Samuel
b. Adams. Mr. Aston insisted on dis
cussing the matter and brought forth
cries of "go ahead"
1t was when Mr.. Aston was dis
cussing the merits of the resolution
that Roland Ellis moved to commit it
to the executive committee whereupon
Judge Powell. chairman of the com
mittee, announced he would put it on
the program for this morning at IL
o'clock.
Mr. Slaton declared that Mr.. Aston
had no right to bring the matter up
at that time, thus interfering with the
business mapped out by the execut-
i've committee. This statement was
followed by the passage of the motion
to adjourn.

and how the matter will finally be set.

Editorial Comment

UNPRECEDENTED IMPORTS

From the American Economist.
The Protection which for time re-
suited from European war conditions
seems to have entirely disappeared. As
a matter of fact we are now buying
more from foreign countries than at
any previous period in our history. For
the ten months ending with October,
1916. our imports reached the UMPIRE
cedentcd total of $2,007. 59S,5G5, this
being an increase of $3.50. 33O.05O over
the imports for the same ten months
in 1915 OF this more than two bill.
lions of imports, more than two.thirds
came in free Of Tariff duties; dutiable,
$66l.63l.ll0; non-dutiable. S1.345. $751;
455. For the twelve months ending
with October. 1916. the imports reach
ed a total of $2.@34, 927,745, an increase
of $6i2. 536.620 over the amount for
twelve months ending with October,
1915.
Surely the rich American market,
made rich by long years of Protection,
is proving a bonanza to the outside
world thanks 10 the low Tariff and no
Tariff OF the Underwood Frcc.Trade
law. The enormous growth OF imports
is apt to be overlooked in the glaring
blaze of huge war exports. but it can
not be overlooked when the war cX-
ports stop. When that times comes
we shall be buying far more than we
sell. and shall more fully realize the
value Of Protection and the disastrous
folly of FrCe-Trade.
