New Accounting
System at State
Pier at Portland

An up-to-date system of account
ing with the ledgers and various
books of accounts necessary for
keeping the details of the receipts
and expenditures, will be installed in
the Office at the State Pier at Port
land during the next two weeks, ac-
cording to an announcement just
made by State Auditor Ebert ID.
Hayford.
The State Pier is supervised by 4
board of directors known as the dir
ectors, of the Port of Portland, Of
which Henry F. Merrill of Portland
Is the chairman. The last Legisla-
ture authorized this board to ap-
point a cashier and a bookkeeper for
the Pier, and to collect and retain
come received at the pier. The need
of more efficient accounting sys-
tenn there is realized by the directors
and Auditor Hayford has volunteered
to install such a system. The work
will be done by George II. Bangs and
Ansel w. Reeves, special auditors in
the department of the State auditor.
and will be completed before the
first of the new year.
Auditor Hayford stated yesterday
that there remains only about S1O,-
600 in the Pier construction account
from the money the States $l,150,-
600 bond issue. This money the dir
ectors are authorized to use for the
extension and improvement Of the
Port and Pier facilities. The work
OF constructing new sheds at the
Pier is about completed. this having
been authorized by a $165. 900 appro-
priation passed by the last Legisla-
ture.

lines and the most essential things
will be taken care Of first.
Federal and State funds are now
being sought for the construction OF
23 kitchens and mess halls Q9 Tor
company organizations and four Tor
officers), and 81 permanent latrtnes
and shower baths. 1t Is proposed 10
extend the Green street sewer sys-
tenn to the camp as this would re-
auire the laying of only a short
stretch Of piping. The location OF
the tents would be changed to the
east end Of the field. leaving the
west end, which is the most level
part, for an airplane landing HELD,
drill field and parade ground. 1t Is
also proposed to extend the water
system in order to provide fire pro-
lection to the buildings and proper
ty at the camp.
Bio Eneampment for 1925
The military encampment to be
held next summer at Camp Keyes-
probably from Aug. 1 to Aug. 15-
will be the biggest held in the State
for many years and will be unique
In bringing together artillery and
infantry organizations of the Ma
tional Guard and troops from the
regular army. The 152nd Field Ar
tilIery and the 103rd Infantry OF
Maine together with troops from the
Fifth Infantry of the Regular Army
will be in camp. and 1t is possible
that they will be Joined by troops OF
the 172ni Infantry of Vermont,
which with the 103rd Infantry con-
stitutes the seth Infantry Brigade:
Whether the Vermont troops Will
come to Maine or hold their en-
campment In their own state. will
be decided a little later by Adjutant
General Johnson Of that state.
Adjutaat General Hanson stated
Wednesday that the Regular Army
organizations at the camp will prob
ably consist Of a platoon of machine
guns, q section of Howitzer Com
pany and rifle company, all from
the Fifth Infantry. The Maine
troops and Federal troops will num-
Der about 1900, and If the 172nd In
fantry of Vermont joins the camp
there will be about 1000 more men
here.
Big Project for Central Maine
For the past two years the 1o2nd
Field Artillery located in Aroostook
county has been holding its summer
encampment at Camp keyes and, in
addition, officers schools have been
held at the camp. The 103rd 1nfan-
try has been holding it's summer
camp outside Of the State. The Maine
camp program for next summer for
the first time will include combined
infantry and artillery maneuvres.
The development of Camp Reyes
in Augusta is a project to which all
people Of Kennebec Valley should
lend their support. General Hanson
points out. 1t will mean that a large
amount of money hitherto spent out
side of the State, will be brought
ito central Maine. the payroll am
ounting to over $4,000. in addition
to other money which the troops will
naturally spend in this section.

Would Arouse Public
Mrs. Pinchot said that the mob;lizing
and mlitarizing of all prohibition

now regulating Hquor.
"See to it that the public opinion that
is now with us becomes militant she
urged "Then create an entirely new

called honest men who are buying liquor
Make them see that what they call an
innocent little drink is really their first
step in long process of degradation.

Mrs Pinchot declared that citizens
have no right to choose the laws which
they want to obey. All are equally bind

stated "others will defy laws protecting
private property. Those who refuse to
obey the laws are anarchists"
Politics Big Obstacle

chinery of federal government. She en-
phasized the necessity of preventing in
reference with enforcement by politi-

IN J U CTION AND JAIL
TERMS BEST CURE FOR
LAWBREAKERS
Illinois Prohibition Act Holds
States Attorneys Responsible for
Enforcement; Citizens Should
Demand Action

AS result of the recent election there
will be less than dozen counties in Il
linois where states attorneys are likely
10 be Indifferent or unfriendly towards
prohibition enforcement. A decided gain
in enforcement conditions is expected by
friends OF prohibition in many counties
where formerly the prosecutors were in-
active so far as liquor law violations we're
concerned. Counties in which the states
attorneys are expected to wage a cease
less and effective warfare against boot
leggcrs during the next four years in
cludc several that had previously been
among the Wettcst III The state In La
Sale and VIII counties, for example, the
issue was clearly drawn between candi-
dates who stood openly and frankly for
prohibition enforcement and candidates
whom the lawless element openly sup
ported. In both Of these counties the
forces of law and order won decisive vic
tories and expect that conditions will be
very much improved during the next four
years.
Padlocks and Jail Bars
Tn counties where tie issue was
sharply drawn between the forces of law
and order the wet element candidates for
states attorney for the most part def
nitey committed themselves in favor of
injunctions and jail sentences. pad
locks for joints and Jail for booteggers," 3"
was the slogan used by Russell O. Han
son, who defeated the wet candidate for
states attorney by a large margin fol-
lowing a bitter fight in LaSalle county.
In some counties where the issue was
not made during the campaign there IS
danger that successful candidates for
states attorney who were indefinite in
their enforcement promises will be indif-
ferent in their enforcement activities. 1t
is to be expected that some who merely
stated that they would enforce the law
will nevertheless fail to take effective ac-
ton by seeking to paddock lawless joints
and by recommending jail sentences for
guilty yiolators. In such counties citi-
zens should make it clear to the states
attorney that they expect him to take
the initiative against liquor lawlessness
and make effective use of the weapons
placed in his hands in the Illinois Proli-
bition Act.
