DRY BILL AMENDMENT
STANDS ALL ATTACKS

WASHINGTON, June 25,-A
mans right to store liquor in his
home for the long dry period after
July stood up today against an at
tack on that provision of the prohi-
bition enforcement bill before the
house judiciary committee
Near the end of an all-day session
the committee voted down an
amendment which would have made
lit unlawful for citizens to have
liquor in their possession, struck out
section which would have prevented
use" by a citizen of liquor in his
private dwelling, and decided that
in the matter Of general enforcement
there would be no difference be-
tween wartime and constitutional
prohibition.
Even with this and other changes
the bill as it will be reported out
is considered as all embracing" So
drastic are its provisions, members
of the committee said, that while a
man may have a keg OF beer in his
cellar, he may be convicted and
fined if, for instance, he wears a

In a general consideration Of the
measure the committee made num-

PROSPECT BRIGHT
FOR BUILDING

Very prosperous conditions pre-
vail in the middle west.
The high price of grain has brought
millions of dollars into that section
of the country. There has been very
little building during the past two
years owing to restrictions on build.
ing which prevailed thruout the coun-
try during the war, but once build
ing is resumed a great deal OF II will
be carried on. The "own your own
home" campaign is spreading over
the whole country.
]. Ogden Armour makes strong
plea for continuation Of business
without waiting for falling prices,
on the ground that wages will not
be materially lower for a long time
IL at all and as long as wages are
up prices OF commodities cannot fall
John Hays Hammond says that
business is being retarded because
We are hoping for or fearing, lower
prices"
The world is short of laborers
immigration to this country has been
cut off since 1914; two million men
in this country are being retained in
army ard navy and large number
were incapacitated by war. Resump-
ton Of normal industrial conditions
can mean nothing but labor short
age.
Lumber is cheaper In proportion
than farm and other products and II
is folly to delay construction and

MOORE EFFICIENT GOVERN
MENT no REDUCE TAXES

High taxes, city, county, state and
national, are simply forcing the peo-
pie to demand economy and efficiency
in administration of public affairs
and funds. Montana is organizing a
statewide movement for more eff
cheney In state and county govern
ment. Idaho has led off with state
budget and cabinet system OF reduc-
ing overhead and increasing general
efficiency. Injecting business prin-
ciples into public affairs, the dollar
will be as carefully expended as by
a large corporation. California has
done the preliminary work for con-
solidating functions and abolishins
useless boards and commissions,
The new movement should be TAX
en- up in each western state and
should be extended to the county ad-
ministration.
Walker d. Hines, railroad admins
traitor, champions the idea Of thus
improving county government. He
holds the three county commission
ers should be firstclass business men
and apply business methods. IN
place of filling fifteen or twenty
county offices, by the direct primary
he would hire and fire. The sheriff
and the three commissioners should
be elected and subject to the recall.
All other county employees should be
hired for their expert ability to make
good. This would give the people
short ballot and ability to know who
to hold responsible.
