Springfield.--By a vote of 80 to "the ilryest of all bills ever presented to •* legislature--the Illinois Auti-Saloon •League's measure--was passed by the senate. The vote gave the proposition four more "ayes" than were really resquired. The bill now goes to the house f6r concurrence, where It probably will be >4jfe>as8ed according to all indications. Passage of the bill was followed immediately by the Introduction of the administration's "state commissioner" bill that places the machinery of enforcement of the prohibition law in the hands of such an officer appointed by the governor. The bill carried an alternative provision that the attorney general shall toe the enforcing officer, "unless a state boninflssloner is provided for by law." 2The big fight will come between the ^governor's friends and those aligned *vlth the attorney general. Senator Wheeler, Springfield, lntrocfhuced the bill. It provides for the appointment of a commissioner at $6,000 per year, and two deputies at $5,000. fct gives the commissioner the right to Wme 25 deputies as Investigators at $6 per day, who are exempt from the provisions of the state civil sen-ice .law. Headquarters are to be at Springfield. Prosecutions are to be made by state's attorneys. The vote was as follows: For.--Austin, Hamilton. Sadler ;43alley, Hanson, N. E. Smith, Barbonr, flicks, O. W. Smith, Buck, Jewell, Bneed, Cornweli, Kesslnger, Spence, Cuthbert8on, Lantz, Telford, Durilap,' MacMurray, Turnbaugh, Essington, Meonts, Wheeler, Sorrester, Mills, Wood, Gray, Pervler and Wright--30. Against.--Bardill, Ettelson, Boehm, Clark, Marks, Deavlr, Dalley, ltoos, Qlackin, Duvall, Schnlze and Herllhy-- 12. The bill is far* more .drastic In Its terms than the Volstead act. It prohibits any person from manufacturing, selling, bartering, transporting, delivering, furnishing, or possessing any intoxicating liquor except as authorized by this act. Intoxicating liquor is defined as liquor that contains more than one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol by volume. The exceptions are few. llegardless of what happens Immediately as to the bill, dry leaders said they will press action In the house appropriation committee on their bill for $150,000 per year for enforcement. Should the commissioner bill go through the necessary changes as to finance will be made in the omnibus appropriations bill, It Is expected. J. R. Howard, president .of the American farm bureau federation, which claims a membership of 1,250,- 300 farmers, announced that the food producers will not be swerved from their determination to try out their new marketing system. "The board pf trade speculators woald do well to remember that the farmers of the country have strong farm bureau organizations in Indiana, Wisconsin, and 40 other states, as well as In Illinois," Mr. Howard said. "It is probable that it would be easier for the farm bureaus to secure proper regulutory measures in Indiana and Wisconsin than it has been In Illinois. They will do well to remember also that, as far as moving the Chicago board of frnde to Minneapolis or Kangas City Is concerned, the legislatures of Minnesota and Missouri have already passed regulatory measures. "Neither the Lantz nor the Tlncher bill Interferes in any way with legitimate trading on the board of trade. Moreover, the reason the board of trade is In Chicago Is because Chicago Is geographically and economically the greatest grain distributing market In the world. The grain exchanges will be wherever the grain is. "The farmers of „ America have made Chicago the world's greatest grain market. They will not continue to divert their grain to other points rso long as Chicago has obvious advantages for shipping and distributing. The board of trade may go ivhere It will, bnt the great primary farmers' grain market will remain In Chicago. The farthers' co-operative grain marketing company, the United JBtate Grain' Growers, Inc., has selected Chicago as Its headquarters, ftnd this alone will continue to center the grain trade here." , Graft Probers Are Threatened. In the course of a speech on an assault and battery bill. Representative AVIlllam L. Pierce of Belvldere deflared that he and other members of *jthe Dalley commission which Is Investigating Chicago building conditions, had received letters threatening them with violence. Later Judge Pierce asserted that a letter addressed to him Iras a vicious threat to do hfm bodily %&rm If the commission persisted in its efforts to dig to the bottom of crooked conditions in the building Industry). "We are not frightened," he Te Pfm Utilities BftL The administration's pnbfle trtfWtlee bill was advanced to third reading la the house and will "be ready for a roll call on Its passage this week. AH* amendments proposed xnot in accord with the governor's forces were killed in their tracks. Only such changes were made as had the approval an<| consent of the executive and his legi^ H lientenants. .* • •- k" ^**'7 ^ i A*** ; State Museum Is DeAcalHli The old streets where Abraham Lincoln walked as a grocery clerk, the old cabins where, he probably told many of his famous stories, the old Rutledge tavern wherein his friends had boasted that "Abe could outwrastle any one hereabouts," came back to life with the dedication of a museum in the state park where old buildings are being restored. The park is on the site of the town of New Salem, three miles from Petersburg. Ouly, In place of a crowd listening to Abraham Lincoln, or watching "Abe" Lincoln "wrastle," there was a crowd listening to Gov. Len Small. There Is a Lincoln museum at the center of the park. Representative Homer Tlce presided at the ceremonies ana Introduced Judge G. E. Nelson, president of. th£ Old Salem Lincoln league. Thomas P. Reep of Petersburg also spoke of the purposes of the league. Most of the representatives and senators were in the audience. "Although nearly overwhelmed In Springfield by business of state incident to this general assembly," the governor said, "I deemed it my sacred duty as governor and a precious privilege as a citizen or our grand commonwealth to meet with you to pay homage again to the memory of Illinois' greatest son, that kiug of kindness, Abraham Lincoln." Governor Small paid further tribute to Lincoln and told how the state had grown since those days. Then, in closing, he said, paraphrasing the Gettysburg address: "Let us de dedicated to the task for which he fought and died, that from our honored dead we consecrate ourselves anew to the cause for which he gave the last full measure of devotion; that we highly resolve that his sacrifice shall not have been In vain; 'that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth.'"

Wlien she declined to remove a barberry bush from her lawn, Mrs. George Kills of Rockford was fined $25 and fosts. • H. F. Selfert,- state nursery inspector, claimed the barberry plant creates black rust and smut In wheat, and the destruction of the shrub has been decreed by the federal and state departments of agriculture. Mrs. Ellis proposes to make a test case, and the controversy may reach the Supreme court. This Is the first Instance where the order has been resisted. Read Bids Show Big Cut, Road enthusiasts received added enthusiasm In the figures submitted a few days ago, which showed that contractors cut huge slices from their original prices for state aid road work. Comparison between figures ' submitted with those submitted in February for the same tvork shows to what extent prices have dropped. It gives a very good Idea, plso, of what the state will get for Its money In the way of roads and what It would have received had contracts been awarded in volume In February. In February one contractor asked $250,000 to .build section one, Kankakee county, which is 6.45 miles in length, but is now willing to do the same for a little less than $190,000. This In itself Is a difference of a little more than $60,000 for less than seven miles of rond, and the successful bidder was even $44,000 less than that. Officials of the highway department were outwardly pleased and said they felt assured that the administration would now go ahead with Its roadbuilding program in earnest "These bids are very encouraging," Col. C. R. Miller, director of the department of public works and buildings said. "They are the best set of figures we have ever received." Governor Small, In a statement some weeks ago, declared that when contractors lowered their costs to a point that the total cost to the state would be within $30,000 he would keep his promise to inaugurate an active road-building policy. Several contractors bidding recently were within this $30,000 figure. One contractor figured at $22,470 per mile, which Is $5 per mile less than any other offer made. This would Indicate that the contractors In general are willing to meet the admlnlftratlon's terms and that further contracts may be looked for In the Immediate futur The following were the latest bl opened: Route 17, section 1, Kankakee county, Federal Paving company of Chicago, successful bidder, $144,933*. 12; Sheidler Construction and Material company, Kankakee, $144,987.08; But*, rell Engineering and Construction compauy, Chicago, $148,024.46; Tegge Construction company, $160,070.30; Bates & Rogers Construction company, Chicago, $184,459.55; Keokuk Quarry and Construction company, Keokuk, Ia.. $189,075.96.

Penalties for Corporation^ An examination of the corporation department in the office of the secretary of state discloses the fact that almost 1.000 failed to file annual report In February as required by statute, and have been paying to him large penalties for such failure. A corporation failing' to file its annual report in time under the statute is required to pay a "default fee of $20 and 10 per cent is also added to the amount of franchise taxes otherwise due. *r*t+ secretary of stats hat slr*sdy csUseU ed $19,420.

An examining physltian for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, la sn interview on the subject, made the aa» tonishing statement that one reason whr so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is SO common to the American people, and tho large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suapesi. that they have the disease.
