mits Is Miles an Hour to
Motor Vehicles.

Representative Thomas W. Miller Of
Delaware today introduced a bill to in
crease the speed limit of motor vehicles
within the fire limits of the District of
Columbia from twelve to eighteen miles
an hour. Outside the fire limits the
speed is increased from twenty to
twenty-four miles an hoHr. The bill
also provides for a slight increase in
speed with which automobiles may
cross intersecting streets or turn cor
ners. 1t provides for a much slower
rate of speed, however. for congested
crossings like 9th and F and 9th and q,
18th and F and 18th and g and 18th
street in front of the Treasury build
ing.
Provision is made to compel delivery
automobiles and trucks to go at the

RATED AS PORK BARREL.
WHICH IS BOTTOMLESS
Senator Weeks Criticises Shipping
Bill and Accuses Democrats of
Waste and Extravaganza.

Correspondence of The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, March 1-"Record-
breaking extravaganza" and waste of
the public funds were charged against
the democratic administration in a
speech by Senator John w Weeks of
Massachusetts,. before the Union
League here last night. He urged the
adoption of !, budget system to halt
the ill-advised appropriations made ac-
cording to the shifting will of Con-
gress.'
Senator Weeks accused President
Wilson of Inconsistency in his attitude
toward great national questions, and
declared that under the present demo-
cratic regime the ordinary expenses of
the government have been higher than
at any other period in history. In addi-
ton to this increased burden, he said,
there are now several projects formu-
lating which tend to force the govern
ment into business competition with it's
own citizens. He cited as example the
proposed shipping bill, which calls for
100000 900. and the bill for improving
roads. which has passed the House,
carrying an appropriation of $25, 1000
1000.
"Bottomless Pork Barrel He Saws,
This is merely bottomless pork
barrel he declared.
Urging d bond issue rather than
special direct taxation. which he termed
inequitable and unjust, to bear the ex-
penses of the national defense prepara-
tiCn. Senator Weeks predicted that the
method of providing these funds would
prove one of the great campaign slo-
gans in the coming national campaign.

MI. Miller Gives His Views.

Representative Miller in discussing
the bill said it was apparent to every
one that the general speed of twelve
miles an hour 81 ridiculous. mo one
ever drives at that speed" he said,
land it is an open secret that arrests
are seldom made unless a motor is
going faster than eighteen miles an
hour except. of course, in crowded
district like those at 9Th and + and 6
streets or 18th and + and G. streets and
18th street"
The present law, he continued, has
been in force for over ten years. from
time when conditions We're different
1T is essential that traffic be eX
pedited, rather than hindered. by such
ridiculous low rate of speed" he said
Representative Miller explained that
he had taken the matter up with the
District officials interested in the mat
ter, and he also understood that Rep
reSentative Johnson of Kentucky, chair
man of the District committee. was in
favor of such an increase i'll the rate
Of speed.

Change in Policy Needed.

"If We renew the general fiscal policy
which has been SO effective in building
up the industries of this country and fol-
low the course which experience dictates
as wise. one cannot look to the future
of the United States without optimism.
Our great resources have not been dis
sipated. so we may look forward with con-
fidence to increased wealth and power.
In the past we had a mushroom growth
and have not been following the course in
developing our foreign trade, which We
will find necessary when again brought
into active competition with others of
equal capabilities.
We must develop efficiency in our
methods and must introduce into govern
mental activities those factors of care,
foresight, prudence and analysis which
business men use in the conduct of their
own operations.

In assailing the income tax as now ap-
piled Senator Weeks said:
I'm the last three years we nave
turned from tariff for protection ana
revenue to a tariff for revenue only.
which has utterly failed of its purpose
to produce sufficient revenue for the
needs of the government. Now we are
asked not to retrace our steps. to the
firm ground on which the nation has
rested for two senerations-to sSs-
tenn of unexampled simplicity and eff
fectiyeness-but to go blunderine on
into the realm of experimental taxa
ton. adopting a system of infinite COM
pleXity and annoyance.
Senator Weeks declared the federal re-

the fruit of republican preparation. and
he pointed to the Aldrich- Vreeiand act

NEWS FROM NOME
(Nome Nugget, Dec. 25, 1915)

The work of killing oil the fen-
 deer herd quartered cn Anvil creek commenced, the deer being driven into the old slaughter house on Dry creek. Owing to the animals being in very wild state it is difficult to segregate individual animals and the killing is done by shooting down the animals while feeding. They do not seem to have the least fear of gunshot and scarcely give glance in the direction of a re- port from a rifle.
 Mother Tiffany says that she has personal knowledge of several fami- lies now living in Nome that are in destitute circumstances and badly in need of help in the way of food and clothing. Any charitably in- clined persons wishing to aid these unfortunates ones, may leave such donations as they wish at the office of the city clerk or may phone to Mother Tiffany at the city hall and shhe will gladly call for danations There are several children in the families and one of the mothers is in a delicate condition. The cases are pronounced worthy in every way as all in whom the spirit of kindness is strong are requested to lend their aid in making the lot of these unfortunates a trifle brighter.
 Miss Marshalle Bates Jones, dau- ghter of MT. and Mrs. J. P. Jones, was quietly married to Dr. Herbert F. Sharpe of Fort Davis. The nuptials took place at the home of the bride and the ceremony was performed by Judge Tucker of the district court. Only the immediate members of the family were pre- sent. The young happy couple left for their home at Fort Davis later in the evening. Both bride and groom have long been favorites in Nome social circles and have won a host of friends who will rejoice to hear of their marriage.
 A present of a rather unusual nature was made by MT. Nate Coombs of Council to Joe Sheldon of the Alaska Bank on the occasion of the former'svisit to the city some days ago. It is stated that the pre- sent was nothing less than a live badger which was caught over in Council recently after the beast had diplayed some of it's traditional fe- rocity by killing couple of dogs belonging to an Eskimo. The an- imal was finally rounded up and captured and was secured by Coombs. As is doubtless well known the badger is somewhat rare in this section and aside from one or two isolated instances have never been seen in this part of Seward peninsula.

LANSING NOTES

Lansing-Ofhcials of the Michigan
Anti-Saloon league we're not surprised
when IL was learned that the liquor
interests are planning a counter at
tack in the state wide prohibition cam
paign in the form of another consti-
tutional amendment to change the To-
cal option unit from the county to the
township and city. For some time
those who have charge of the prohibit
ton campaign had expected move of
this sort and the "wets" showed their
hand when Secretary OF State
Vaughan was asked to approve the
form of a position for the purpose OF
initiating an amendment TO the consti-
tuition for smaller local option unit.
This method of attack was employed
by the liquor interests of Ohio few
years ago with great success. In that
campaign the liquor men not only de-
feated the prohibition amendment, but
by eliminating the vital provisions OF
the local option law. reclaimed as
wet territory many counties where
the saloons had been banished by local
home rule law.
AT the present time more than half
the counties of the state have been
made dry by adopting the local op-
ton law. However, in most cases It
has been the vote in the rural districts
of these counties that has resulted in
victory for the temperance forces.
Should the liquor men succeed In de-
feating state wide prohibition at the
election next November and are sue

posed amendment to reduce the local
option unit, thousands of saloons
would spring up in cities and villages
where the sale Of liquor has been out
lawed as a result OF the heavy dry
majorities rolled up in the rural sec
tions OF these counties.
The reason for this bit of strategy
on the part of the liquor men of the
state is obvious. Unless some in
ducement can be offered TO the "wets"
in the dry counties, the liquor inter
ests of the state at large could hardly
hope to enlist them in the campaign.
However, they have sounded, or they
are preparing to sound the call to
arms. Now there is a community of
interest between the eX-saloonist in
the dry" county and the prosperous
booze merchant in the metropolis.

will be done by Bludeau, Siebert &
Gates of this city, with the exception
of the work of the Michigan manuals
and the job work for the state library,
which was given to the Robert Smith
Printing company of Lansing. The
contracts were awarded by the board
of state auditors. During the past two
years the state has paid bills for print
ing amounting to $179,731.17. while the
bills for binding totalled $5S,139.32.
The printing and binding bills for the
next two years will be considerably
larger by the publication of the com
piled laws which will cost approx
imately 100000.
Each year, according TO the reports
of the state auditors, the printing bills
have been increasing. In 1905 and
1906 the total amount paid for print
ing was $79,3O555. while the binding
bills for the same period amounted to
S44, 1882. In 1910 and 1911 the
printers received $116,5S5. and the
binding bills for those years amounted
to $50. 1917. One reason for the big
increase in the printing bills is the
fact that practically every state de-
partment issues monthly or weekly
bulletins of some sort in addition to
the regular annual reports. Some
times these bulletins contain useful
information and some times they con-
tain poetry by department heads.
