Penalties Will Serve As De- terrent For Liquor Traffic and Allied Offenses Will Be Fewer, Lawyers Be- lieve.

Local lawyers look for an almost complete suspension of police cour. activities as soon as the revised liquot laws are made operative. The new laws provide a 30-day jail sentence and money penalty in addition for the first offense, and it is the opinion held by majority of the legal fra ternity that the drastic law will stop liquor trafhcking also in it's entirety Not only will the number of liquor prosecutions be mace fewer but also the many other cases that naturally come as result of the use of liquor will decrease noticeably, they believe.
 Offenses Traced to Booze.
 It has been estimated that eight out of 10 cases of assault, ahfe-beating and violations of the automobile laws have taken place while the accused was either under the influence of liquor or had been drinking. The inn position of a money penalty for selling liquor has failed to stop the sale of liquor in New Britain, the attorneys point out, but when the possibility of jail sentence stares illicit dealers in the face it is believed that they will elect to go out of business. For the same reason, they state, the use of bartender as a fence for the dealer, the employe being prosecuted and the employer paying the fine, will also be eliminated.
 Under the new laws, the ofhte o1 l liquor prosecutor will be a thing o1 the past and the prosecuting attorney will be required to handle all prose. cutions. While in theory the law vii l ivo ca Of hot nf io1 i< ] pointed out that his duties will 1T

THINKS PREM|ER'S
SALARY IS SCANT
Herbert H. Asquith Sees
Need of Raising Pay of
British Official.
By the Associated Pres.

| By the Associated PreH.
| LONDON. February S.-The premier
of Great Britain has a hard time OF 1t
trying to pay his bills on a salary Of
e.. 900 a year and his pay ought to be
raised. says the former prime minister.
! Herbert H. Asquith. who ought to
know. for he occupied that position
for eleven years
| AS far as known. Mr.. David Lloyd
George has not asked for raise in
pay, but his remune Grafton has been
| the subject of an inquiry conducted
| by committee of parliament which
also is examining into the salaries OF
all the British cabinet ministers.
| Mr.. Axquith States Views.
| Mr.. Asquith told the committee that
! the office of the premier Of Great
! Britain is a very expensive one and
| his duties cannot be properly dis
| charged by an expenditure limited to
| that amount. The former prime min
lister added, that he. himself. was a
| much poorer man when he left office
| than when he entered it
! premier had to do a great deal Of
entertaining and afford a hospitality
to all sorts of people both at home
| and abroad but, under the existing
arrangement, he had to defray this
expense entirely at his own cost.
I
fund should be provided for enter
| tanning distinguished foreigners. Mr..
Asquith was of the opinion that the
premier's salary ought to be advanced.
| Mr.. Asquith had few kind words to
say about the privilege which the
J premier has of occupying the official
residence at 10 Downing street.
1T is quite true" he said, that you
| live in the house free from rent, rates
and taxes, but it is very expensive
J house to keep up. 1t is very in
| convenient house in many ways: it
requires large staff. and / suspect
myself that any prime minister who
had experience Of it as 1 had would,
if he were offered the choice, rather
not live in it at all"
| Premier's Actual Pay.
| The salary of the premier Of Great
Britain at present rate of exchange
| is equivalent to S19,250. This COM
pares with a salary of $4,000 and
s25 900 expenses for the President Of
the United States; 100000 francs sal
airy and similar amount for ex-
penses for the President OF France
and of 100000 marks salary and 6O0.-
900 marks expenses for the President
of Germany.
