2S ITT LIBERAL RULES OF LOWER HOUSE WILL SPERD LIQUOR VOTE Republicans Favor Change Giv- ing Wets Opportunity to Force Issue Washington, Dec. 4—(7)—In fast swirling succession, events keep shap- ing themselves for an early vote in/apply to reports, signed in affidavit eke prohibition. jform by each gasoline distributor ursday, house Republicans agreed | to support a rule that would permit; a third of the members to force a vote on any proposal. The Democrats, who will argue about rules Saturday, | are expected to approve of a similar| provision or even a more liberal one. In the senate the leaders are will- ing to allow a prohibition vote. Paradoxically, the wets who are so! anxious to get the first outright roll call-on prohibition since passage of the Volstead Act, know perfectly well! they cannot win. But they do want} every member's name on record for the benefit of the voters next year. ‘They ‘hope some drys will be sup- planted after the constituents inspect the roll call. The confirmed drys, sure in their numerical superiority, seeing little but argument and confusion on the issue ag long as it is held up, are willing to have such a vote principally to get it out of the way. If anyone is having a bad time over the prospect, it is those memers who have avoided committing themselves, unsure of the wishes of their constituents. What the house Democrats do Sat- urday about rules will bind them all to vote the same, under caucus rules. The Republicans adopted their stand in “conference,” leaving every mem- ber free to follow his own bent. If the Democrats bring to the house a more liberal plan than that of the) ition, many Republicans are| expected to support it. Among these probably will be the group of independents headed by the ‘New Yorker, Fiorello Laguardia. Keen on greater parliamentary freedom, these men expected Friday to har- monize their views on an economic program of legislation. W. C.T. U. RALLIES TO i I§§UE NEW CHALLENGE ' ‘Washington, Dec. 4—(?)—The old, guard of wonlen prohibitionists rallied Friday to fling a new challenge at the ; steersmen of presidential campaigns in 1932. ‘A four-day regional conference of | the Womené’ Christian Temp2rance Union, first of 25 scheduled in prepar- ation for the national contest, was! opened by Mrs. Ella A. Boole, the president. She asserted: “Women who think, women who still look upon the home as the cen- ter for home life . . . organized and unorganized women, will tell us how to make vocal prohibition sentiment in the coming presidential election.” Bank’s Asset Pledge Said Not Severable The total amount of assets pledged by a bank on a loan under a 1931 Jaw must stand as security until all of the pledge is paid, Attorney Gen- “eral James Morris ruled in an opin- jonvissued to Gilbert Semingson, state bank examiner. Morris held that if a bank pledges its assets in compliance with a pro- vision of the banking code enacted by the 1931 legislature, that the pledge transaction is not severable. The to- tal amount of assets pledged, he said, stand as security until all of the pledge is paid. A part payment would not compel the release of a pro rata’ share of the pledged assets. ‘The banking code provides that “It| shall be unlawful for state bank- ing association to pledge or hypothe- cate more than one and one-half dol- lars of the face value of any of its sssets for each dollar of money bor- rowed, excepting for money borrowed upon authorziation of the state ex- miner, who shall fix the amount and kind of assets which may be pledged or hypothecated for such purpose.” Probe Racketeering Of Gasoline in N.

The first step in the campaign will be to arrange a conference with Gov. | George F. Shafer and John Steen, state auditor, in charge of gasoline tax collection, asking the two officials \to authorize a state wide investigation | of possible tax evasion, said R. C. Maslowski, Grand Forks, chairman of the committee. - 1 The committee will ask an exam- ination of the motor fuel records of the state auditor's department from; the inception of the gasoline tax law to the present and ask that this ex- amination be made by certified public | accountants, These examinations will) showing the amount of motor fuel tax | each has paid, these to be checked | against the railroad records of the} numbers of cars shipped to each in| an endeavor to reveal discrepancies. | Feeble-Minded Don’t | Have Absolute Right To Enter Institution! Feeble-minded persons do not have an absolute right of admission to the state institution for feeble-minded, according to a ruling by Attorney General James Morris. Replying to inquiries from E. G. Wanner, executive secretary of the state board of administration, Morris said persons admitted to the ingtitu- tion must be residents of this state. Feeble-minded persons, who seek admission to the institution, Morris said, are divided into two classes. First, there ore those who are feebi¢- minded and who “in the opinion of the superintendent, are of suitable age and capacity to receive instruc- tion in the institution.” Their right, Morris ruled, is sub- ject to the ruling of the auperintend- ent as to whether they “are of suit- able age and capacity to receive in- struction in the institution.” Such feeble-minded persons, he added, du) not have an absolute right of admis- sion to the institution. The second class, Morris said, are idiotic and epileptic persons, who are “entitled as a matter of right to ad- mission to the institution and are not subject to any discretion on the part of the superintendent.” $1.27 Pound Paid For Champion Steer: Chicago, Dec. 4.—(P}—The grand champion steer of the 1931 Interna- tional Livestock Show, “Briarcliff Thickest,” was sold on the auction block Thursday for $1.27 a pound, the lowest price sincé 1923.
