SOCIAL REFORM.
PROPOSED VICTORIAN LEGISLATION. RESTRICTION OF CIGARETTE SMOKING. CHECKING LOTTERIES AND CONSULTATIONS. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright. MELBOURNE, May 15. The Premier of Victoria (Hon. M. Murray) proposed legislation to restrict cigarette smoking, which he declares is becoming a menace to the community and doing more ftarm than opium smoking. In 1907 Victoria produced nearly 147 million cigarettes, and in the previous year 131 millions. The Federal Postal Department is displaying much activity in checking lotteries and consultations. It is expected that a large number of prohibitions will shortly be issued in respect of persons resident in Tasmania.
