FURTHER BUSINESS REsHRlcrloNR,

While general business has adjusted
finance, trade and industry by the fed
eral government. the commercial agen-
cies give warning that wartime adjust
ments, varied as they have been have
by no means been wholly accomplished
and the restraints on strictly COM
nercia1 transactions are to increase
rather than lessen. The extraordinary
circumstances make 1t necessary, and
while recognition Of the necessity has
become clearer and more general, the
end Of restrictive orders has not ar
rived nor is it in sight.
With further tightening Of the re-
strictions on both domestic and foreign
commerce, foreshadowed, and with
doubts as to the exact nature Of the
changes still to be effected, there are
manifestations Of growing caution in
many quarters, and the fact is not OBJ
scured that the display Of great ac-
tivity in different producing and dis
tributing channels Is mainly associated
with government operations. What
compels wider attention is the steady
depletion of free supplies Of raw mate
rails and semi-fnished and finished
articles, resulting either from the COM
Wandering process or thru curtailment
of civilian outputs, and ordinary re-
quirements.
Financial conditions are better than
had been expected and collections gen.
orally good. However, wholesalers are
shortening terms Of credit and this
policy will sooner or later consequently
extend to transactions between retail
ers and consumers.
The process Of business adjustment
Is but fairly under way. How seri-
ously the present removal Of men Of
draft age and the future prospect Of
extended drafts will affect the business
situation remains problematical.

Billy Bunny won the race At the Fair

Well, after that the two little rabbits
drove off in the Luckymobile, and, by
and by. after a mile, they came to the
house where Mrs. Goose lived, close by
pond. So the OLD Gentleman Rabbit
stopped the Luckymobile and he and
Billy Bunny hoped out and knocked on
the door.

as he reached the shop where the

BOOZE GETS ANOTHER JOLT.
Waterloo Courier.C

JWaterI0O COurler.l
The decision OF Federal Judge
Henry T. Reed. holding that the
transportation of liquor into Iowa is
Illegal, simply esta blishes the intent
Of the lawmakers
There is not now and never has been
any question as to the evident purpose
Of congress in the enactment Of the
law In cases where a certain state
desired to prohibit the use Of liquor
within it's borders the constitutional
provision with respect to interstate
transportation was applicable. Con-
sress stepped in and enacted law that
liquor could not be brought into such
state from an adjoining state that did
not desire to prohibit the use of booze.
AS would be expected. every ef-
fort was made to circumvent and evade
the law upon technical grounds. Judge
Reeds opinion at Fort Dodge last week
constitutes the first decision Of FEEDER.
al court in Iowa on this question. Pre-
sumably the case will be appealed 90
that ultimately we shall have = de-
cision that will be final.
The particular case involved was that
of an Iowa man who went into Mime
sofa and bought booze and brought it
home in a suit case. The defendants
lawyer contended that because the
man did not order the liquor by mail.
but purchased 1t PERSONALLY at the
source of sale and personally carried 1t
over the state line, this personal act
did not constitute interstate commerce.
obviously such a contention is merely
splitting hairs. Liquor, lacking the
power to move itself from one state to
another, must have been transported.
in case it is in Minnesota today and
In Iowa tomorrow. and the particular
means OF getting 1t from one state to
the other is not material. An Iowa
thirst fend or bootlegger buying a
quart Of "forty-rod" at East Dubuque
and swimming across the Mississippi
with his prospective jag-produceri has

another and therefore violated nation
al law.
There is just one way In which
Iorvans can beat the law. They can

DITcHING HAvNER.

It was enough Of surprise to thu
Register to find q substantial republi'
can newspaper such as the Atlanta
News Telegraph announcing a DOL
from Havner for attorney general be-
for the state convention has been held
or the nomination formally announced
But that surprise grows as the
Register reads in the Carroll Times
which warmly champions Mr.. Hav-
ners opponent:
"Mr. Meyers has received promises
and unsoliciated source. and the
handwriting on the wall points to his
election in November as one OF the
things which are Inevitable"
Now promises Of support galore"
from unexpected and unsolicited
sources" can mean but one thing
and that that certain faction Of the
republican party is holding out to Mr.
Meyers that he Is to be elected. II the
Times of Carroll prefers not to have
this faction designated the liquor in
terests." we may paraphrase the tenn
per it by designating the republicans
who are for Meyers as the men who are
opposed to enforcement of the anti
liquor law.
The Register Is not going to argue
the matter with either the Times or
the News Telegraph. The state has
shown such marked apathy in the mat
ter of ratifying the national amend
ment that anything may readily be ex-
pected. It is entirely possible that
Havner can be sacrificed by the other
wing Of the party successfully.
But is It not an unusual thing to have
such a program put before the state
before either state convention has been
held. Is 1t not likely to cause embar-
easement in the republican convention
for the leaders who are planning to
throw Havner overheard at the polls
and defeat the national amendment in
the iegisiature?
