COLONEL BUTTONS INNOVATION.

new record when he notified the in
suFAnce companies operating in Vir-
9fniA that no assessment would be
made upon them for the maintenance
Of the bureau OF insurance for this
year. The law allows an assessment
of one-tenth OF ! per cent OF the net
premiums on business written In the
seate for this purpose. but In recent
years only one-twentieth Of ] per cent
has been asked for. Colonel Button
found that the balance on hand at
the beginning of May was sufficient to
nav ali the expenses OF the bureau for
the coming year.
Commenting on this extraordinary

LAW ENFORCEMENT BEFORE CONGRESS

Some Of the enforcement measures
proposed prohibit all beverages con-
tanning any trace of alcohol whatso-
ever while other AK the limit at one
half of one per cent by volume. The
necessity for difnition of intoxicating
Is apparent in view OF the rul-
ing made by the New York federal
restraining the district attorney
from interfering with the manufacture
OF 2.75 per cent beer. Proper ma
chinery is provided for In the pro-
posed codes for carrying out the man
OF the law.
Friends OF prohibition may rest as
sured that a comprehensive adequate
enforcement code will be
voted upon and to that end all who
desire to see national prohibition a
success should Immediately get In
touch with their representatives and
