FOR SUGAR CONTROL
SENATE VOTES TO GOVERN
TRAFFIC FOR ANOTHER YEAR.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio C.iticizes
Chairman Taussie of the
Tariff Board.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The McNary
bill, under which government control
of sugar would be continued another
year, was passed by the senate and
sent to the house.
There was no record vote and Sena-
tors Ransdell and Gay Of Louisiana,
who led the opposition, made no fur
Their attempt to prevent a vote. Sen
ator Gay made a brief address in OPP
position, ending the fight Of several
days against the measure.
Purchase and sale by the United
States sugar equalization board both
of foreign and domestic grown sugar
is authorized in the bill, which would
empower, but not direct, the presi-
dent to continue the practice until De-
cember 81, 1920, If found necessary
for the public good, and to secure, fair
prices and equal distribution. The
bill specifies, however, that producers,
refiners and distributors of sugar Shall
not be licensed, as has been the rac-
tice under the Lever food control law.
Under the bill the boards control
v domestic sugar would be limited
to September 80, 1920, when the beet
and cane crops in this country come
in.
Senator Pomerene (Dem.), Ohio,
criticized Chairman Taussig Of the
tariff board for opposing federal pur-
chase of Cuban sugar last summer.
Senator McNary said it could have
been bought for 61a cents a pound, and
is now over ten cents.
"By adhering to the advice of a pro
fessional economist" Senator POmer-
enc said, sit will cost the American
people three to four cents a pound
more for sugar"

DRY LAW HOLDS
SAYS S. COURT
Wartime Prohibition Measure
Is Held Constitutional by
/, Final Ruling.
CASE STARTED IN new YORK
Highest Tribunal Decides WARTIME
Act Was Valid In Inception and
Its Validity HAS Not
Changed.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE United
States Supreme court unanimously up
held the constitutionality of the war
time prohibition act, and the possibility
of a wet Christmas went glimmering.
There apparently is no chance for Il
wet holiday of any sort before consti-
tutional prohibition goes into effect on
January Is.
Under the terms of the judicial de-
cision it is illegal to manufacture or
sell liquor until peace is established,
either by the ratification of the Ger
man peace treaty by the senate or by
resolution Of congress declaring the
war terminated. There is practically
no chance for either of these plans.
The only other possibility of lifting
the lid for a last farewell to rum = the
repeal of the wartime prohibition act
by congress. But congress is dry by
such overwhelming majorities that this
is a forlorn hope. The chances are the
house judiciary committee will not
even report back for consideration the
ANIN"A iCSolutloii a. II "a
have before il when ii meets.
Some of the vets profess to find i'm
the decision ground for the president
declaring the war terminated and de-
mobilization ended, which would have
the effect of ending wartime prOhibi-
ton. Superintendent Dinwiddie of the
A~nti-Saloon league calls this interpre-
tation "moonshine," citing that part OF
the decision holding that the terminus
ton Of the wartime prohibition act
does not depend on the actual ccssa-
ton Of hostilities alone, because it did
not become ii law until after the armis-
tice.
The immediate effect of the courts
ruling is to nullify the injunctions re-
straining federal revenue officers from
preventing the withdrawal of liquor
from the bonded warehouses for sale
in this country.
The court did not act on the validity
of the Volstead prohibition enforce
ment act or on appeals involving the
alcoholic content of beer, leaving those
cases to future opinions which may be
handed down next Monday before the
court recesses for the Christmas holi-
days.
The cases decided were those of the
Kentucky Distilleries and Warehouse
company of Louisville, KY, and Dry
fOOs, Blum & Co. of New York, insti-
tuted for the purpose Of compelling
the government to release whisky from
bond.
In both cases the court denied con-
tentiOns Of Elihu Root and other at
torneys for the distillers that the act,
In violation Of the Constitution, takes
private property without just compen-
%sation, that the period of the war
emergency for which the act was
passed had terminated, that the law
was an Interference with the state POI
lice powers and an undue exercise of
the war powers of congress.

SENATOR WADsWoRTH, OF NEW
YORK, GIVES ROUGH OUT
LINE OF LEGISLATION.
FOR THE TRAINING OF YOUTHS
Men Between 10 and Fl Would Devote
Four Months to Military Service
Plans Call for a Citizens Reserve
Force, Including 6yard.

Washington, d. C.-Legislation that
would amount to a virtual reorgani-
zation Of the army with protection
from outside attack as a primary pur'
pose and with compulsory military
training for boys from Is to II years
Of age as a leading feature has been
agreed upon tentatively by the senate
military subcommittee con idering a
permanent military policy for the ma.
ton. Senator Wadsworth, of New
York, chairman Of the subcommittee,
said the legislation would be put in
final form during the Christmas recess
OF congress for presentation to the
full committee when the senate re-
c%onvenes.
The legislation as agreed upon by
the subcommittee, Senator Wadsworth
said, Is completely new and bears no
resemblance to the army reorganiza-
tion bill drafted by the general staA
and transmitted to the house and SEN
ate military committees by Secretary
Baker. The committees present agree
ment, Senator Wadsworth said, calls
for q permanent standing army OF
$500 although the committee may
possibly reduce this number in the
6nal draft. The smallest possible
standing army that will meet the de-
mands of this country is the aim OF
the subcommittee, Chairman Wads-
worth said.
Reserve Army Proposed.
One big army composed OF the regu-
lar army as now recognized and a re-
serve or citizens army is provided.
OF the latter army the national guard
would be a part, although the details
OF the organization Of that service
remains to be worked out.
Youths within the prescribed age
limits would be required to take four
months military training with provi-
sion made for either the regular army
or the national guard of the various
states being used In furnishing this
training. The youths. however. would
be given en- opportunity to elect. either
taking the training in a lump OF Of
Joining the national guard for a fixed
period during which they would re-
ceive the same amount Of training as
prescribed for the tour months period.
Upon. completion Of this training the
recruits would be placed in a reserve
army for a period OF five years. but
under no conditions. Senator Wads-
worth said. could the reservists be
called upon to perform military serv-
ice except in case Of declaration Of
war.

THREE COUNTIES
CONSOLIDATE IN
SCHOOL DISTRICT
Seventy Nine Children From Va
lencia, Torrance and Socorro
to Attend in one Building.

Santa Fe, Sept. 28.--As result
of visit to Belen of John V. Con-
way, assistant superintendent OF
public instruction, a tri-cOunty
consolidated school will be opened
at Scholle on October 4 to accom-
modate 70 children who were so
situate that formerly they had
been denied permanent school ia
cilitips. The consolidation was ef-
fected by Mr. Conway in confer
ence with the superintendent OF
education and representatives Of
the county boards of education of
Torrance, Socorro and Valencia
county under an act passed by the
1919 legislature which permits the
consolidation Of rural school dis
triCts in two or more counties and
provides a system of management.
The conference of the boards
from the three counties was called
by State Superintendent Jonathan
H. Wagner, who requested that the
meeting be held at Belen. Mr.,
Conway represented the state de
partment at the hearing, at which
il was discovered that seventy
nine children within a radius of
ten miles would be able to take adj
vantage of school facilities, should
they be consolidated
The list Of children contained
the names of thirty-seven from
Valencia, twenty-three from Tor
rance and nineteen from SocorrO.
1t was decided that Valencia coun-
ty should bear 0ne-half the bur
den, Torrance. one-fourth and So
zorro, one-fOurth. Valencia coun-
ty being the dominant county, its
superintendent and county board
will be placed in charge Of school

BEAN YIELD rs A
SURPRISE THIS YEAR

The yield of beans this year is
a surprise to everybody. To some,
it is surprise in that the amount
of beans threshed is below eXpcc-
tation. To others, who counted
on the crop being cut short by the
lack Of late rains, it is a surprise,
in that the yield is really greater
than they had expected. Altogetll-
er the yield is averaging about 500
pounds per acre. While many
acres will not thresh as much as
500 pounds, there a great many
that will yield more, some report
ing yields of 800 pounds and bet
ter. Threshing is in full operation
now, and the farmers have ne
time for anything else.
