Sunday Cunning a d Fishing. There was a Very interesting hearing last week belore the committee on in land fisheries and game on the proposed repealing of the close time on loxes, the proposed repeal of the Sunday hunting law, and the bill proposing a law against Sunday fishing, the last two measures being heard together. Ch;m man Austin of the inland fisheries and game commission said that ther had been a Sunday hunting law upon the statute books since 1883. but that it was only since the original prohibition as to game birds and animals had been made to extend to afi wild birds and wild ani mals that there had been any seri us ef fort on the part of the department to en force it, because previously it was im possible to enforce it. He said that if the present law was unjust and could not be enforced he was in favor of its re peal. Senator Merrill of Somerset of the committee inquired of Chairman Austin: “Can the law he enforced?" “It has been too much enforced to be come popular," replied Chairman Austin. Representative George E. Grant of Hope spoke in favor of the repeal of the Sunday hunting law', and said that it worke \ a irrpar irvinstipp to mpn whn could not get out cn any other day for hunting. J. E. Hobbs, the postmaster at Cam den. (bought if there was to be a close time for the protection of game it had better be on a week day. Prohibition of Sunday hunting worked a hardship upon the poorer class. E. A. Drink water of Sabattus Baid that since the Sunday hunting law began to be enforced two years ago it had worked a great hardship and proved an unpopular law. “Even if the committee should report favorably upon the Sunday hunting law and the Legislature should pa3s it, I do not believe that Gov. Miliiken would sign such a bill,” declared J. L. Johnson of Harmony, the first person to speak in favor of the present hunting law. Representative Buzzell made a most eloquent plea in behalf of the proposed measure to repeal the Sunday hunting law, “I want to legalize the Sunday ef forts of some of the Pest people of the State and to repeal a vicious piece of class legislation,” declared the Belfast man. He urged the members of the committee to vote on it just as they felt and to remember the fellows back home. Representative Phillips of Southwest Harbor spoke in favor of retaining the present law, and said that there were Other forms of recreation than hunting on Sunday. If the present law was re pealed he knew of many people who were in tiie habit of walking in the woods on Sunday that would stop doing so. CuarDs A. Holt of Belgrade quoted a Maryland bishop as in favor of Sunday bunting under certain circumstances. Rev. J. B. Sanger of Presque Isle spose strongly against repealing the present law, James M. Gillis of Bangor declared that the measure forbidding Sunday hunting was an unpopular law, the peo ple didn’t want it, and the matter for the Legislature to consider was the will of the people. Harry Wilbur of Port land said that the strict observance of the day which had been advocated by some who had spoken was a part of the mosaic code and not of God’s law. Senator Butler of Knox spoke in be half of the constituents who desired the repeal of the measure. State Live Stock Sanitary Board.

This entails no hardship i upon the present Governor, but the next one may not fare so well. It is almost notorious, that only the wealthy or very well-to do dare aspire to the omce, and 1 ! think it only proper for the State to pur chase and equip a residence. “The old Blaine mansion is for sale.

The committee hearings Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 14th included the follow ing: County or district almshouses, be fore the judiciary; Portland harbor im provements and the purchase of the Blaine mansion site for a Slate library site, before the appropiiitions commit tee; the hours of iaborfof certain em ployes and bill relating to contract work, before the labor committee; the State forest nursery and re-foresting of the State waste lands, for further public in struction in forestry and for the preser vation, perpetuation and increase of the j Maine forests, before the State lands | and forest preservation commit ee; and i State-aid highways and a mill tax for j their construction and amending the Con stitution so as to provide fora bond issue for permanent improvements. Feb. 14th. Governor Milliken present ed the budget upon which he had been working since the Legislature convened. It is the most complete and satisfactory presentation of the State’s income and needs that has ever been made. The do cument in itself is very long and is ac companied by tables showing the details of both income and prospective appro priations, together with a long and com prehensive report by the commission ap pointed to consider some method of tax ing intangible personal property. Several important and sweeping re commendations are made by the Gover nor in the presentation of his budget. One of these relates to the tax on intan gible personal property, following the re commendations of the commission. The commission and the Governor favor a flat tax of three mills on such property and the establishment of a tax commissioner to collect the tax thus imposed. The Governor recommends that half of the tax collected under this system should be returned to the cities and towns where it is collected. Such a tax would reach a class of property which now escapes taxation altogether, and if it be taxed it will add materially to the State. Another sweeping recommendation is tiat the railroad tax, a part of which is now returned to the cities and towns where the stockholders of railroads and telephone companies reside, be entirely retained by the State. The Governor argues that, the retention of this railroad tax complete will admit of the State tax being hve mills, whereas if it be distri buted, the tax will be six mills. Among other things he recommends the mill tax for State highways, as it was assumed he would do, and he includes this proposed tax in the budget. He likewise makes recommendations for the abolishment of some appropriations for some depart ments, the transfer of others, and many important changes, the advisability of which win oe ior tne legislature to ue termine. ——-— Woman Suffrage. A signal victory for woman suffrage, the introduction of five new booze bills, a lively fight in the Senate over the pur chase of the Caribou Wate-, Light and Power Company and the joint conven tion to hear the Governor’s budget, were the features of the Feb. 14th ses sion of the Legislature. Tne House sus tained Rep. Baxter in his motion to have the second reading of the woman suffrage resolve assigned for Thursday morning after a hot fight. It had the reading that day without debate. Bills to Aid Enforcement. Five measures relating to enforcement of the prohibitory liquor law were intro duced in the Maine Legislature Feb. 14th. Representative Allan of Portland pre sented a bill providing that it shall be unlawful for any transportation or ex press company to deliver liquors at any place other than the regular place of business of the company 01 individual, or to any person, firm or corporation except the consignee. Representative Pattee of Harmony presented a bill for straight jail sen tences in liquor cases. Representative Barnes of Houlton pre sented a bill providing for sentence at the lime or conviction and to give the court discretion in the matter of sen tence. Representative Bragdon of Westbrook presented a bill providing that on the petition of not less than seven voters of a county an injunction may be made against a building where an alleged nui sance is conducted. Representative Barnes introduced a bill providing that any intoxicated per son who loiters about the station of a railroad company is guilty of a breach of peace and shall be fined. To Regulate Franchise. In the House, Feb. 15th, Rep. Holt of Uouldsboro introduced an act for the regulation of franchise. The act pro vides that any person under indictment for crime shall not participate in any po litical meeting nor in any way engage to work for the promotion of any party or candidate for any elective office. Nor shall any person who is engaged in the liquor traffic in any form whether as proprietor, bartender or clerk in any liquor saloon or in any hotel or inn in which liquor is offered for sale be per mitted to vote or be a candidate either in the primaries or in the general elec tion for any office either County, town, city or State or any public office of any nature or kind, the ealary of wnich is to be paid out of any fund derived from taxation of the property of either city, town, county, State or plantation. Nor shall any person who owns or controls buildings, whether in a city,village, town, plantation or any suburb of either who rents property for the purpose of con ducting the liquor business in any of its various forms or for the use of houses ot ill fame be permitted to vote or hold pub ic office. Nor shall any person whose source of income is derived from the Proceeds of any illegal traffic te permit ted to nolri pubic office. A penalty of not less than $100 for each offense and 30 days impiisonment shall be imposed on each person who violates this statute. Charges may be preferred by complaint in usua. forms of criminal procedure. Cut 1 his Out. It Is Worth Money. DON’T MISs This.

People Are Now Paying Up at Shorter Intervals Than Formerly. Business men $re agreed that a very ' noticeable change lias come about In j the [inst five years in the matter of I paying accounts. While that length of ! time ago yearly settlements were the I rule, settlements at much shorter peri | ods are now getting to be the fashion. 1 Just what lias brought this about is | hard to say. Possibly there are a mnn j her of tilings which have worked to | gethcr to bring about this good result. Of course, years ago, before Ibis coun try began raising stock, there was but about one time in each year when a farmer bad any money. Consequently no one else bad any except at that time. Now, with creameries paying off J every two weeks and with live stock marketed any time during the year, ■ money flows far more evenly. Then, too. banks are coming to be ■ far more generally used than before, i which accounts for au evener flow of i money. The farmer borrows money to tide bim over till be sells something rather than stand off his creditors as long as he formerly did. A number of younger men have gone into various businesses of late years, most of them without sufficient capital to enable them to carry accounts long. They were therefore compelled to make frequent collections, and that might lie said to have started the habit of [lay ing up alt around. Automobiles, which are alternately blamed and credited for almost every thing, may be said to have had some thing to do with the matter of credits. Automobile accessories run into money very fast, and garages, being of com paratively modern creation, started out at once to keep book accounts uown. lue muiunsi, im-iciuic, educated at the start to pay up his garage bill frequently. This helped along other lines of business as well. Many lines of business make month ly collections the rule, and it is admit ted by every one to be the best plan all around.—Osage (la.) Press-Journal. THE THRIFT CAMPAIGN. Are You Doing Your Share to Make It a Big Success? The greatest thrift movement in the history of this country now appears to be making considerable headway. The American Savings Bank association is giving much time and energy to this thrift campaign and offering especial encouragement to the new depositor of small sums. Women, "children and young wage earners are being particu larly sought ns depositors by banks all over the country. Parents are urged to start small bank accounts for their children, to teach them thrift, since the habit of saving does more than build up a bank account; it builds char acter and credit, and the child of today may be glad ten or fifteen years hence to have the reputation of being thrifty and substantial. The man without money—at least a few hundred dollars—is not likely to be regarded as of great consequence by his fellows. Money is not everything nor even the thing to be most desired. Good health and good character are more to be desired than great riches. But money bears a close relation to al most everything worth while. It Is therefore important to train children in ways of thrift, and nothing gives a child more of a sense of importance n n bnnlf n/in/MInf Vlln ATT’n n OTYIn Such an account Is good for the wo man In the home too. Many wives feel hopelessly and even rather resentfully dependent on their husbands. A sav ings hank account in her own name not only cures many a woman of ex travagance und unbusinesslike methods of conducting her household, hut gives her a feeling of independence and self respect that makes the whole atmos phere of her home happier.—Exchange. Paper Napkins For Dinner. Custom has much to do with what is called “good form.” I dined recently at the home of a very wealthy man. worth many millions (not made In "war babies”), where the best form al ways rules. The napkins were of Jap anese paper. They were very large and fine, but the innovation surprised me until on subsequent inquiry at one of the best Manhattan shops I learned that use of the paper napkin is quite proper and likely to become universal— : only for dinner.—Julius Chambers in Brooklyn Eagle.
