DRY WITHOUT ELECTION Miami, March 24.—To make the Stute of Florida dry without the ex. pense of a state -wide campaign and election is the aim of a bill which Judge J. L. Billingsley has prepared and which will be brought before the next session of the legislature which meets on April 1. The main provision of the bill would make all revenues from saloons payable to municipalities. Thus one argument for saloons,, that they turn large revenues tothe | local governments, would be killed, and another substittued in favor nrl dry counties and municipalities be. | cause the saloons would take so much ' money out of the various localities and turn it into the State treasury. “low taxes” argument is held to be one of the best and prineipal vote getters In “wet or dry" campaigns. With it removed it is belleved there would be no trouble in making every “wet” county in the State a “dry” one. Fortytwo out of the forty.nine counties of the State are now “dry,” and therefore with the great major- ity of the legislators coming from “dry” counties, it @ belleved that the support of the measure ls as. sured. Counties which have voted “dry” have much trouble, it is said, from importations of liquor from counties which are “wet.” Any leg. islative measure that would tend to help this condition would be support« ed by legislators from dry coumtles from self interest, it 1s belleved. This “large revenue’ and consequent ‘cmlnullon. it properly supported, BELGIANS EMIGRATE Duluth, Minn.,, March 24.—Plans for the establishment of a colony of Belgian farmers in northern Minne. sota recelved a setback today when officers of the Duluth Commercial Club, which had completed arrange. ments for the leasing of several hun- dred thousand acres of farm lands, recelved a letter from Brand Whit. lock, American minister to Belglum, saying he “feared the plan is not feasible at this time, as the Ger. man military authorities positively refuse permission to Belgian subjects to leave the country.” The club has written to Mr. Whit. lock for information. counties are urging the passage of such a measure and have secured strong endorsements from cour of. ficials in their respective commum- ities. | WANT TO CONSOLIDATE THREE STATE COMMISSIONS Jacksonville, March 24.—To abol. ish the fish and game commission, and the shell fish commission, and place these departments of the State under one commission, composed of three men of equal rank in the com. mission, one of which shall be a state cabinet officer, is the plan that E.

As outlined by him, he proposes to rec. ommend the game and fish commis~ sioner and the shell fish commis. sioner as two of the new commis. sion, and he prefers the secretary of agriculture to be the third man. He declares that the shell fish will, in the course of ten years, or such matter of time, become one of the great upbuilders for Florida, and that the game and fish commission, if it had money to enforce its fish lawa would be of incalcuable benefit tothe State. There i8 no revenue from the fish side of his commissionship, sald Mr. Jones, and this branch should be made self_supporting through licenses on all net and sein fishing, and a tax on boats used in the busi- ness. He declared the game side of his commissionship last year turned into the State treasury a large sum of money, besides defraying Its ex. penses, and furnishing the money to see that the fish laws are being obeyed.
