Questions OF more or less perplexity
are daily and almost hourly arising
in the business connected with the op-
Grafton Of the Selective Service law,
commonly spoken Of as the draft law
and Adjutant General George Mel
Presson. the provost marshal Of Maine,
in charge OF the work in this state
has his full share Of them. Among
those recently submitted TO the au-
thori,ies at Washington are the fol-
lowing. given in order with the an
swers or rulings in each,
ouestion-Suppose a man has wife
only and that wife has trade or No-
cation at "hich she could make a liv-
ing but IL rot working and because
she is not working is dependent upon
her husband for support. Is she de-
pendent
Arsver-The Dependency need not oe
total but should be mainly so. The To-
cal board should exercise great caution
and be fully satisfied as TO the merits
CT all claims for discharge before al
living the same.
cuestion-Are justices Of the peace
and notaries public state officers WITH
in meaning Of the regulations? In TINS
State practically every lawyer ana IN
surance agent is a justice or the peace
and there are thousands Of notarles
public. ard practically their only use
~ their office is to administer osths'
Ansver-State officers TO be exempt
Cd should be only those appointed by
the governor. legislature or the su-
preme and appellate courts, ana nave
no immediate superior between them
and the appointing power. The prl'
mary purpose Of the Selective Service
act. 10 secure and organize the mill
tary forces Of the United States, should
be borne in mind by the local boards in
all such cases so that the purposes OF
the act may not be defeated by toe
liberal allowance Of discharges and ex.
emptions.
Question-Should exemption boards
in divisions where there is an excess OF
credits and consequently no men tc
be furnished for the first increment
call any part OF their registrants for
physical examination and so forth?
Answer-It is not deemed advisable
that physical examination be made al
this time OF men in the jurisdiction OF
any local board where the credit Is
such as to not require any more to be
furnished at this time.
As these answers come from Hugh
S. Johnson. major Judge advocate. ex-
ecutive officer. per order Of General
crowder. 70 whom questions We're re-
ferred. they may be considered Off

MORE DISASTROUS RESULTS
FROM PROHIBITION

(From The Manufacturers Record)
The Manufacturers Record has re-
peatedly called attention of late to the
serious destruction that has come upon
number of business interests by
reason of prohibition. 1t so happens,
however, that these particular bust
ness interests that have been ruined
by prohibition are the jails and peni-
tentiaries and convict camps. They
are practically being run out of bus
mess by prohibition.
AS we have previously stated, any
community that desires to keep it's
Jails and penitentiaries full should
never encourage prohibition, for wher-
ever prohibition is introduced and the
law rigidly enforced there is such a
decrease in the number of convicts
that jails and penitentiaries become
almost vacant.
The American Highway association
of Washington has just issued brief
statement under the heading, "The
Unique Quarters of County Engi-
neer," in which a specific illustration
is given of the decrease in the demand
for Jail room by reason of prohibition.
Indeed, so great has been the lessen
ing OF the convicts mentioned in this
particular case that road building by
convicts labor must almost cease, be-
cause there are not enough convicts to
do the work.
Ihe liquor interests may well hold
this up as a shining example of the
effect of prohibition, since it would be
as good an argument as much of the
stuff they put out. They may hold up
their hands in horror and say, "Here
is case where the number of con-
vlcts has been so lessened that the
construction of roads by convict labor
cannot proceed" and on this base an
argument for the limitless use of
whiskey in order to increase the num-
ber of convicts. In its statement, the
American Highway association says:
EARLY in the year the State High
way Commissioner Of Washington,
James Allen, made report concerns
ing convict-labor conditions for road
work, which forms an interesting par
agraph in the 1917 Good Roads Year
Book. 1t reads as follows:
"While the law for prison labor
"ii'hah Seu, Tie NUMBER OF
convicts available for road work has
decreased since the prohibition law
went into force, to such an extent that
there is no likelihood of any road work
by prison labor during the ensuing
two years.
"This comment on the effect of arid
ity on road conditions in the Rhodo-
dendron State, startling though it is,
is confirmed by the announcement not
long ago that the engineer of Chelan
county was in the Jail at Wenatchee,
not because of misdemeanor, but be-
cause as result of prohibition, there
were no longer any guests there and
the sheriff considered the county
might as we'll use the vacant room as
of6ce."
