ing up of the Legislative record?
The PRESIDENT: The Chair Is
of opinion that the matter having
been completed. we are now proceed
ing under the order. which could OF
course be changed either by amend

such a course as the Senator from
Kennehec suggests be followed In the
future. 1t is entirely matter within
the Senate's own control. in the opin-
ion Of the Chair.
Mr.. COBB Of Kennebec Mr..
President ] liked the idea al first
Of posting, but il seems TO me that
in some way the people of Maine
should know who these agents are
and for whom they work, and could
MT there be some amendment
made that these should be put into
the record or in the paper SO that
the people Of the State may know
them as well as we in the State
House? / fear that by just posting
them they would not be put in the
paper SO that the people of Maine
would know of them.

state for the Information of the gen.
tleman from Kennebec that they will
ordinarily pass and become part of

1t is recalled that Joseph P. Griffin,
president of the Chicago board of
trade, recently complained that much
of our legislation is not the result of
intelligent deliberarion. but rather an
attempt to appease the demands or
the wrath of elements of our >popu-
lation" of time for intelligent
delir of legislation is general
odrded, however. as the principal
cause for the enactment of poorly
constructed laws.
The practice of flooding congress
with legislation is in sharp contrast
with the system which prevails in the
British parliament.
During a session of IA months, end
ing in January, 1916, there were pre-
scented to the British parliament 231
bills
During a nine months session. end
ing September. 1916, there were intro
duced into the American congress 25,
731 bills and resolutions.
During a typical five-year period

congress and the legislatures of the
several states passed over $4,000

FEARFUL FAMINE IN CHINA.
Without Help, Fifteen Million People
Must Perish.

Washington, Feb. 7.-The famine
situation in China has reached such
crisis that 100000 people may
die unless immediate help is given,
according to information received
to-day by the State Department.
Another famine equally severe may
arise next fall unles food is made
available to the Chinese farmers, who
are physically unable to undertake
the spring plowing.
The Chinese are doing all in their
power to relieve the situation, the
statement added, and it is estimated
that s5,000,000 will be obtained for
relief by surcharges imposed on the
railway, telegraphic and postal SER
vices. Red Cross funds amounting
to $1,000,000 will help $4,000 per-
sons for 200 days, it was stated.

credit expansions arising from the
participation of the United States in
the war, w. p. G. Harding, governor
of tho Federal Reserve Board, in an
address before the Lawyers Club
here to-day, minimized the danger OF
a business collapse or financial crisis.
II say this in all candor," Mr.. Har-
ding asserted 1--WE are now looking
forward to year Of constructive de-
yelopment. want to say that in
trinsically there is no comparison to-
day with conditions year ago, when
there was uneasiness and apprehen-
sion among the best informed over
the badly expanded credit. Business
is now rapidly reaching new level
and approaching sound and sane
basis. We have a better banking sit
uation. We have passed the danger
point. We have better understand

AP.BURRELL SHOT by RAMEy.

Last Saturday afternoon about
o'clock near Mountain Rest, "Cap"
Burren was shot by Major Ramey,
and tho first report that reached Wal
halla was to the effect that Burrell
had been killed, and the request was
for the sheriff and coroner to come
to thSSscene Of the shooting at once.
LaterE however, it was found that
Burren had not been killed, and the
request for the coroner was cancel

him at the moment and he had not
started for Mountain Rest before it
was discovered that his services
would5not be needed
There has, 1t is said, been trouble
brewing between the men for some
time and two causes are limited at
the receipt Of unsigned letters by

haveEbeen written by Ramey, who is
| unmarried. The other element that
Is supposed to have had something
to do, with the trouble is the report
that information had been given by
one at the men on the other, to off,
cers S1f the law, as to illicit distill-
inc. SHoWever, these matters are not
