“willfully falling and refusing to
dip" as prescribed by law Home
of the complaints charged offenses
as far back as a year ago Many
are charged with two or more of-

These complaints are the result
of an intensive enforcement cam-

This tightening of the dipping law

stock ruisers, the latter protesting

Political Rise Rapid
Chancellor Baldwin was acting
premier during th* recent absence
of Bonar Law on the continent.
The government continues to be
Tory in politics. Baldwin was
head of the British mission which
negotiated the debt funding set-
tlement with the United States.
He formerly held the post of
financial secretary of the treas-
ury. He is 56 years old.
Baldwin's rise in public life has
been rapid. He gained much popu-
larity while chancellor of the ex-
chequer for reducing taxes, re-
ducing the price of beer and
negotiating a settlement of the
British war debt to the United
States.
Baldwin's chief rival for the
premiership was Lord Curzon, the
foreign secretary. Curzon was op-
posed by the Tory die-hards and
by a coalition labor-liberal group. i

L. Staples Tuesday in a letter to-
Representative Sam E. Johnson.1
author of the measure.
"This is a timely and splendid
piece of legislation, which the state
has been in need for many years *
No legitimate and honest busi-
ness will suffer from it.” Staples °
declared "if judiciously and vi-
gorously enforced. It will protect}
the public against fraudulent rep-
resentations of sales of fictious and
worthless stock and securities, with
which this state has been flooded,
and at the same time, brings the
state treasury a large sum of, ’
revenue, which has heretofore es-
caped legitimate and just taxa-
tion." Administration of the law
is in the hands of the secretary of
state.
