Owen “clamped the lid” on eight Mandan drinking places late Satur- day afternoon and announced Mon- day that he would bring padlock pro- ceedings against them and also might revoke their beer licenses. Places raided by Owen and a squad of 20 men, consisting of regulatory department inspectors and several others recruited for the occasion, were The Showboat in the Missouri river, The Dome, The Street Car, ‘The Tavern, The Mint, The Log Cabin, The Cave and The Stag. Several days ago, Owen said, he raided other Mandan places and obtained evidence which will be used in connection with contemplated legal proceedings’ to clean up the town, Kelsch to Bring Actions Following a conference Monday aft- ernoon with C. F. Kelsch, state’s at- torney for Morton county, Owen said the liquor seized had been turned over to him and to Sheriff Robert T. Gray and that the Morton county officials would institute padlock proceedings in the sixth district court against the Places raided. These, he said, probably would take the form of applications for an in- junction forbidding them to continue Two reasons were given by Owen for his activity. The first was the fact that the laws governing sale of beer and other drinks to minors had been violated, according to reports received by him. The other was the fact that the serving of hard liquor has the effect of reducing tax reve- nues from the sale of beer, a legal beverage. Gambling Devices Seized At the Showboat, Owen said, a gambling table and chuck-a-luck game were taken out and stored in the Wachter warehouse here. Gamb- ling devices at the Dome were not removed but were placed under pad- lock. Owen said he was advised that both Places were running full blast Satur- day night despite the raids in the late afternoon. Nothing was found at the Street Car but at the Log Cabin, the Mint, the Tavern and the Cave some whis- ing the law is broken, can be refused a beer license and, if he already has a license, 1t can be revoked on order of the beer commissioner.

Martin, of the western district of Tennessee, dismissed the action last Saturday. “Consider the background of the act,” Judge Martin said. “It was passed when an emergency existed. The situation was desperate. Mani- festly new measures were needed if Prosperity were to be regained. “No more serious a problem ex- isted than that of the farmer. And so the agriculture adjustment act was born. It remained unchallenged so far as its constitutionality was concerned for many months improvement in the agriculture situa- tion was noted.

There are many dupli- cations of names on the two lists, however, Putnam said that “a lot of men” will be needed but that some farm- ers will have no money to pay them. Some farmers with good to fair credit ratings are able to get money under the relaxation of government rules, he said, but others have been refused loans by private lenders because they were regarded as poor risks. Try to Get U. 8. Aid What these will do for money to pay labor was still a question and various agencies interested were still trying to get further help from Wash- E. A. Willson, FERA administrator and executive head of the Rural Re- habilitation corporation, made it plain that organization does not have enough money to finance the harvest. Also, like the banks, it must have se- curity and the assurance it will get its money back. Help will be extended by it to farmers who can qualify un- der its rules and who are regarded as “good moral risks.” In some places, the Federal Re- gional Agricultural Credit corpora:- tion has taken crop mortgages as curity for loans on cattle and ma. chinery and these prior claims are preventing the farmers from getting harvest credit.
