SWISS REJECT STRICTER CONTROL OF RUM TRADE By the Associated Pross. BERN, June 4—The Swiss people by referendum have rejected a pro- powed law under which the govern- ment's liquor monopoly would have been extended, taxation increased snd the anclent privilege of farmers and communes fo distill the juices of thelr own fruits sbolished. Fourteen can- tons voted against the proposals and nine in favor of them. The proposed law was inspired by & desire to fight alcoholism, which has been considerably on the increase re- cently in Switzerland, the people spending $150.000.000 annually for liquor, or $10.000.600 more than for bread and milk, together. The net proceeds of the Swiss fed- eral alcohol monopoly in 1920 were £301,380. The proceeds from the mo- nopoly are divided among the can- tons, which are compelled to expend one-tenth of them in combatting alco- holism and its causes and effects. -Opén Tuesday at 1 O’Clock AFTER the Parade Shriners Attention!
