He declared the United States, continued flouting ‘of ‘prohibit laws, -is approaching “the pia path to anarchy,” The country’s problem, he said, is to “resist the debasement of its civ- ilization at the hands of machine politicians, whether they. come in the guise of Republicans or Democrats.” Two “great municipal bosses,” he asserted, “tried to gain control of vember elections, “making their drive primarily as champions of the liquor traffic and every evil force connected | therewith.” In an address which consisted of a tion and against the repeal of the eighteenth amendment, the former candidate for the Democratic pres- idential nomination asserted the question of law and order is one of the gravest confronting the nation disorder is the attitude of those who take the constitutional inhibition agajnst liquor lightly. Would Not Halt Crime Wave The return of legalized liquor, declared, would not effect a remedy for the crime wave, because, he con- tended, prohibition has had nothing to do with the increase of deeds of violence. That, he asserted, | and the only “way out is the path of duty and obedience to the law.” ‘Tne only lawful way to change the constitution, he pointed out, is by the adoption of another amendment) in the nature of a repeal or modifi- cation of the one in question. He charged those who seek a shorter cut to legalized liquor with being nulli- fieationists. New York and Montuna, in repeal- ing, their state prohibition enforce- ment laws, have taken voided by the express words of th eighteenth amendment, he contended. He placed Maryland, which never enacted an enforcement code, in the ranks of nullificationists. In all such cases, he said, the rem- edy lies with the federal government. “It is for the president,”.he con- (Continued on patinued on apes, three.)

D., Jan, 28,—)— | The executive board of the James- point a committee to draft an ena- | bling act for presentation to the state legislature to allow the construction of a dam on the James river between | Jamestown and Arrow Wood and Jim Lakes. No representatives were present from South Dakota cities at the meeting of the James River Dam association, held last evening, which invited the local chamber to tuke this action. Assistant State Engineer Robert E. Kennedy and City Enginect H. H. | Hurning discussed the cost of such ;a dam andthe river flow and their estimates were widely divergent. 'James Barrett, secretary Devils Lake Chamber of Commerce, was present and was called on for a short talk on the Missouri river di- | version project.

"FIGHT ABOUT FLOUR LABEL BILL OPENS Hamilton Against Bill, Whit- man Supports It in State Affairs Committee The opening of the expected fi on the flour labeling bill, ree mended by Governor A. G. Sorlie in his inaugural adress, came in the j senate committe on state aff; hursday when it resumed conside ation of the measure. or D. H. Humilton, McHenry county, was outspoken against the | bill, and was supported by Senator S. J. Atkins, Towner county. enator W. S. Whitman, Grand Forks county, who introduced the bill, told the committee that the bill is designed to place flour manufactured from North Dukota hard wheat at a premium in competition with other | brands. He said that both he and the governor contend that North Dakota |hard wheat is superior to other va- jrities, and that requiring all flour to be labeled concerning the materials |used in its manufacture would give North Dakota flour an advantage. By eliminating the clause that the label shall also show the percentage of protein, Whitman asserted that the bill would favor both the state ‘owned mill at Grand Forks and the | smaller millers of the state. Hi Iton’s ‘Contention Hamilton contended that the act is intended to favor the state mill only, and would place an unnecessury bur- den on smaller millers as well as} destroy the spirit of competition. | There is nothing to prevent the state mill or any others from so labeling their products now if they desire, he| said. ‘ The committee adjourned without taking any action, and will probably continue its consideration of the bill Friday. The state affairs committee also recommended for passage the bill +ereating a state board of hairdressers and cosmetolog regulate bea ty parlors of the ite. The co panton;. bill rewriting the barbe: regulations was discussed without av tion. A concurrent resolution introduced by Senator Whitman, authorizing the governor to appoint a committee to work with the national and other state committees in planning the bicentennjal in honor of the 200th in 1932, was recommended for passage. SENATE VOTE EXPECTED SATURDAY OR MONDAY Final senate vote on the flour label bill, one, of the minor sform centers of this legislative session, is expect- ed tomorrow or Monday at the latest. The senate state affairs committe: which had thé bill under considera- tion, yesterday, was expected to take it up again today and indicatio were that it will be reported quick possibly without recommendation. Its passage is expected since several Independent senators are pledged to vote for it. however, that one or more Nonparti- san votes will be cast against it d spite the wishes of Governor A’, Sorlie and the vote will be close. The executive recommended pass-! age of the measure in his message to the legislature. Amendments Agreed to Several amendments to the bill have been agreed to and in its, final} form it is expected to require only that flour sold in North Dakota carry a label showing the kind of wheat! from which it was made and the state | where the wheat was grown. Its passage, the-executive contends, will give North Dakota mills an advan- tage marketing flour in competi- tion with that shipped in from mills outside the state. Legislative opposition to the bill is being led by L. L. Twichell, majority floor leader in the house, and a bit- ter battle is expected both in the house ite affairs committe: and on the floor if the bilt is passed by the senate. ——$$__— In fuscia there are srraeat farms where horses are raised for making’ town Chamber of Commerce will ap-| of the; It is considered certain, | ‘HUGE LOSSES ‘SUSTAINED BY BEAR TRADERS ‘Corner’ Apparently’ Secured | in Stock of Wheeling and | Lake Erie Railroad DELIVERIES DEMANDED | ‘Short’ Interests Caught Una- | ware and Forced to Buy !
