PAGE EIGHT BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1920 DOMINGO MAKES! MORE REVENUE BY U.S. CONTROL Graft Eliminated and Port Rev- | enues Are Doubled, Re- ports Show IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE Washington, Aug. tary government established in Santo Domingo by the United States has Started the island republic on the road to prosperity and successful self-government, according to a re- port of the Governor, Rear Admiral Thomas Snowdon, made public by the Navy Department. It was prepared in response to an inquiry from the State Department as to what steps has been taken to prepare Santo Do- mingo for government by the Domin- ican people. Internal revenue collections of Santo Domingo have increased from an average of $700,000 annually be- fore the occupation to approximately $2,500,000 last year, with prospects of a million dollars more this year, the Admiral’s summary said. Certain taxes bearing heavily on the poor have eliminated and a tax on prop- erty submitted, the first attempt at 1 direct tax in Santo Domingo, the re- port sai As a result of the financial re-| habilitation of the Republic the float- ing debt has been liquidated, and in-, dications are that the $20,000,000 loan of 1908 will be paid off by 1925, more than thirty years before maturity. the Governor reported. A revision of the tariff system has resulted in a 79 per cent increase in imports and add- ed customs collections, he added. Much graft, dishonesty and inefti- ciency in government offices has been eliminated and the money saved thereby has gone toward building schools, roads and public buildings port improvements and sanitary ar- rangements, the report said. Of the 200,000 children 130,000 have beer supplied with ‘schools, normal col- lege, manual training and domestic science courses. Great improvement has been ac- complished in the highway system, the Post Office department and the harbors under the American regime, the report continued, adding that be: fore the government should be turned over to the people all these projects should be completed, a basic civil code of justice promulgated, prefer- ably that the United States, and the boundary line between Hayti and Santo Domingo permanently estab- lished by arbitration. SEEK POWER 10 DESTROY STOCK | I OF U. §. LIQUOR: Enforcement Officials, Will Ask Next Congress to Act on Subject FIFTY MILLION GALLONS Washington, Aug. 20.--Federal prohibition officials here have de- cided to ask congress to destroy 50,- 000,000 gallons of liquor stored un- der bond. Prohibition Commissioner Kramer is convinced that 100 per cent prohi- pition, cannot be achieved while bonded warehouses, packed to capa- city, exist in all sections of the coun- try as continual temptation to law violations. More than $500,000 worth of bonded booze was stolen last week. Most of it was taken by high- waymen, who held up trucks in which it was being transported from one warehouse to another. In sev- eral cases battles ensued between the highwaymen and the whiskey truck ——————OSS “DANDERINE” Stops Hair Coming Out Doubles Its Beauty. , ‘A few cents buys “Danderine.” Af- ter an application of “Danderine” you can not find a fallen hair or any dand- ruff, besides every hair shows new life, vigor. brightness, more color and !of Bismarck, president of the asso- Itime addresses were made by Peter ‘| for the ensuing year the convention {will hear an address on “The Bar | Board,” by: Hon.

Federal guards are main- tained at’ many of the liquor storage houses. Of Js are also finding it! almost’ impossible to prevent the forging and misuse of permits for, the purchase of bonded liquor. If] the bonded liquor were — destroyed this big difficulty would be removed, officials argue. Without, liquor in| storage anywhere in the country, prohibition enforcement would be a matter only of guarding against smuggling and illegal manufacture or moonshining. Federal prohibition offtcials now have no authority to destroy contis-~ cated booze, except where law viola- tions are detected. They will put the plan of disposition of the vast stores up to Congress when it conivenes in December. This may prove the be- ginning of a new wet and dry fight. It should provide a new test of strength of the opposing forces, which are expected to clash within a few months on the question of modi- fication of the Volstead law. The bonded liquor is worth at} least $250,000,000, or at least $5 9 gallon, according to present bootleg prices, but many drys point out that the liquor originally costs its own-{ ers much less than $5 a gallon. Hun- dreds of owners bought warehouse certificates, drys say, after the states ratified the prohibition amendme' ‘The drys contend that the pub purse should not be “looted” in this fashion. Under the prohibition law3 the liquor may not be exported and its sale may be permitted only for non-beverage purposes. Drys say that twenty-five years must pass if the liquor is to be sold legally for non-beyerage purposes. They argue, therefore, that the whiskey has very slight market possibilities and can] be worth only a small fraction of what it originally cost to manufac- ture. LISBON BOOZE JOINTS OBJECT OF BIG RAIDS Federal and State Officers Com- bine, and Find That Liquor Was Sold Openly i COUNTY JUDGE RESIGNS) i i News of success of a combined fais by federal. prohibition officers and agents of the state license depart- ment in Ransom county was receiv- ed in reports made to the license de- partment today. 5 Several stills were found and many arrests made for violations of | the license law in raids in and near Lisbon. The total number of arrests made reach 40. Liquor was being sold openly at 2 dance in the country near Lisbon, ac- cording to the report. Officers visit- ed the place, and found that liquor, manufactured in a still nearby, was! being sold at the dance. Revolvers were drawn by several men at the dance when the officers made them- selves known, but the federal officers also drew their guns and the other men capitulated. Numerous reports had been re- ceived of violations around Lisbon, and the raid was well planned in ad- vance. The license department in- spectors were rounding up pool halls and others who had not taken out state licenses or who were violating the law. There being no federal commis- sioner near, the warrants were ob- tained before County Judge Forrest Thomas. A couple of the men are said to have gotten away after the! warrants had been issued, and the agents said they found the informant of the men. Judge Thomas resigned after the! raids, it was reported, but no official reason was made public as to why he resigned. He was elected county judge with enlarged powers, and was renominated, in the recent primary, with Nonpartisan league endorse- ment. STATE BAR WILL END CONVENTION THIS AFTERNOON Jamestown, N.

J. Meyer, who returned this week from a motor trip to the coast tells many interesting things about the tourist camps established by the cities ‘and towns along the Red Trail. “Practically every town and city from here to the coast has its tourist night camp,” he says. The idea has spread clear across the country in a remarkably short time.” “At Wallace we found at tourist camp established in the court house yard, A caretaker was there to look after it at’ all times. He said that the night before there were 35 cars parked in the camp. The last two were unable to get their cars into the park, but they pitched their tents there. “In one side of the court house were built in bath tubs and ‘shower baths. A shed had stoves for cook- ing. It was some camp all right. “In one county along the route the people had installed telephones ev- ery little ways along the road and if any motorist had trouble he could phone into a certain number and a service car would come out and get him-—all free of charge. “All of the camps were equipped with drinking water and sheltered places for cooking. Even the small towns now have a tourist camp and everywhere along the road people were making use of them. “Naturally the cars seen along the road are varied. Some of them have very unusual contraptions hanging around, “But Bismarck’s camp is on a par with any of them,” Mr. Meyer assert- ed.

The drop in the price of steamers, indicating more ships than business, will cause freight rates to topple to a starvation basis and competition will get keener and keener.
