BIRDS EYE VIEW
OF WORLD CONDITION

A recent bulletin Of the depart
ment of commerce gives the fol-
lowing interesting data concerning
the economic progress of the United
States:
In the basic elements of economic
progress the United States ranks
high among the nations of the
world, being one of the five coun-
tries only which have an area in
excess of 8 million square miles,
and the only nation OF the western
world Except Russia) having a
population of over 100 million. In
the interchange of products among
its own people it leads the world,
: its home trade at the present time
being estimated at nearly 90 billion
dollars or equal to the information

p~roximately 10 times the value of
our WI foreign trade now valued
at a billion dollars.

is far short of the immediate pos
sihilities of the nation is evident
from a consideration of its area

tors in comparison with that of

by the Bureau of Foreign and

of Commerce. Thus the present
export trade of the ULitau States
(23 billion dollars) represents
about $25 per CAPT a. A per capita
basis equal to that of Argentina
would raise the export power of the
United States to 5 billion dollars;
and n equal to that Of Belgium

dollars a year; while Jul aggregate

Court Asked to Dismiss Case Of State
Against Fuller and Certain
Intoxicating Ii
quors.
WARRANT VOID
Claim 10 Also Made That Superior
Court Has No Jurisdiction
to Try This
Case.

A molten to dismiss the case OF
State against Bert Fuller and certain
intoxicating liquors was this afternoon
flied In the superior court by the at
torney for Mr.. Fuller, A. T. Marshall.
Three reasons were given in the mo-
ton: that the search warrant under
which the liquor was seized had ceas-
ed to exist, that the warrant was
void for having bsen executed by a
constable, and that the court had no
Jurisdiction in the case.
The motion asked that the court re-
lease the property taken by the con-
stable under the search warrant, that
the property be returned to the place
from which it was taken. and that all
acts done under virtue of the search
warrant be declared void.
The reasons given we're that the
warrant had ceased to exist at the
time it was executed and was void
as more than ten days had expired
since 1t was issued: that the warrant
was executed by constable, the sama
not being an officer Of the superior
court: and that the court had no
jurisdiction to issue or try matters
arising under search warrant for in
toxicating liquors.
