Fargo, n. D., June 30.-Thru the
joint operation Of a state law and the
federal Webb-Kenyon law, North Da-
kota will become bone dry" after mid
night tonight.
This state never has been wet" le-
gally, aitho for many years the open
saloon was countenanced. Within the
past ten years. however, vigorous ef-
forts to make prohibition effective
have been made with considerable re-
suits. It was not the intention, how
ever. Of the last legislature which en-
acted the bone dry measure. to take
such firm stand against the importa :
ton of liquor. The effect is declared
to be fiuke of legislation.
A bill was introduced in the lower
house which was aimed at curling
blind pigging" in the state. When
submitted to the senate the temper
ance committee Of that body made two
amendments. one designating the
amount of liquor which might be kept
for personal use the other stipu-
lating that registered pharmacists
might import intoxicants for medicinal
purposes The bill as amended was
accepted by the senate and sent to the
lower house for concurrence.
In the hurry of passing the measure
the amendment providing for liquor
''for personal use" was omitted and
the bill as finally passed and signed by
the governor allowed importation for
medicinal and sacramento purposes
only" The error was not discovered
until the bill had become law.

cense receipts paid in 10 the secretary
of state for the period between Jan. !,
1917, and June l, 1917, are short a
total sum Of s33l,s1 in comparison
to the corresponding period last year,
according to figures compiled by Sec
rotary Of State W. S. Allen.
The shortage is due not TO a de-
crease in the number of automobiles
in the state, but because Of the opera
ton of the three-year automobile Ii
eense number plate law, which went
into effect in 1916.
Under the old law every automo-
bilist was compelled 10 obtain a new
number annually, and the plates for
each year were different It was pos
sible for police officers to determine at
glance when car was operating un-
der an old license,
Easy 10 EVade Law.
The Thirty-sixth. general assembly
revised the automobile laws in 1915,
and provided that the number plates
issued should be good for three years,
but that the license fee was to be paid
annually as before.
Automobile owners are taking ad-
vantage of this law to neglect 10 pay
any license fee at all, declares Mr..
Allen. and on June !. 1911 1866 own
ers who registered in 1916, had failed
to register in 1917.
The average license fee for 1915 was
sS45. and using this as a standard the
net shortage TO June l was 1924 ,3l9.
The number of new cars registered
shows a big increase over 1916. On
June I, 27,70s new cars had been reg
isterea for s1st1. compared TO 10000 for
the same period in 1916.

Der plates are not required this year
This saving amounts to $62,5oo on the

the loss to s331,Sls.
This shortage was already becom :
ing apparent when the last legislature
was in session, and bill was intro
duced by the motor vehicles committees
of the house to repeal the law and re-
turn to the old system. The economy
faction fought the repeal, and as re-
suit the law remained unchanged. save
for amendments to obtain a more COM

ing the arguments over the bill it be-

Harding was compelled to veto the
whole thing.
Up to County Attorney.
Delinquent lists are now being pre-
pared, and will be forwarded TO county
attorneys of the state in an effort TO
collect the sums due.
The shortage in the motor vehicle
fund will be reflected directly in the
condition Of the roads of the state. for
90 per cent of the receipts in this fund
is turned back to the counties ~ DC
expended on the rural roads.
Unless it proves possible in some
way TO collect the delinquent licenses
the shortage for the year will be al
least 100000.
A comparison with last year shows
that under the old law on June !, 1916
only 1f,+9S owners were delinquent

Not only is a shortage inevitable LOT
