WILL STAGE FINAL
DRY BATTLE TODAY
Kentucky Vets to Argue Case
Before United States
Tribunal.

WASHINGTON March g.--Pre-
sentation Of arguments in cases from
Rhode Island and Massachusetts at
taCking the validity OF the prohibi-
ton amendment 20 the constitution,
were concluded Tuesday in supreme
court The case from Kentucky will
be disposed Of tomorrow after which
the question will be left 20 the ma
tons highest tribunal for decision.
Counsel for those attacking the
amendment continued today 10 argue
that it was revolutionary and an in
vasion of state rights.
Nets open Case.
Now you are coming 10 fork in
the road, one leading 10 the power
of amendment and the other back
TO the constitution Levy Mayer of
Chicago, told the court in opening
for the Kentucky complainants
The very proposition is staggering.
There is no difference, il we discuss
whiskey. tobacco or cotton. I rise
above the question that this deals
with whiskey and dwell on the
principle nvolved-can this con-
stitution be uprooted.
The question is more than pro
hibition. Police power is synony-
nous with the sovereignty of the
state. Remove the police power and
40 state will exist"
Denies Proper Ratification.
Mr.. Mayer denied that the amend
ment had been ratified properly in
view of referendum provisions in
numerous state constitutions reQuir-
ing such proposals to be submitted
10 the voters
These contentious were denied by
solicitor Gen. King and Asst Atty
Gen. Frierson, who argued the
amendment was properly adopted by
congress and had been ratified by
three-fOurths Of the states. The
solicitor general also said the amend
ment did not interfere with the func-
ions Of the state, but gave federal
government power 10 act with the
states in enforcing prohibition and
resulted from a general demand upon
congress TO assist dry states in en-
forcing prohibition laws.

that the Board Of Equalization was
merely adjusting raises recommend
ed by Tax Commissioner. D. F..
Ward and that the Board would it
self probably make other raises
which would be adjusted at another
meeting TO be held later. We Also
suggested that a land owner might
be required to appear before the
Board the second time as il had not
at that time given notice OF its own
proposed raises. We stick TO the
proposition that that any land own
