Br0okings Tired Of
City Council

Brookings, March 1O.-Petitions
have been filed with the city coun-
Gil asking 1t to call a special elec-
tion and submit to the voters the
question of adopting a commission
form Of government here. II the Pc
titions are found to contain the sig
natures of 10 per cent of the quail
fled electors at the last preceding
election. 1t will be mandatory upon
the city council to call the special
election within twenty days.
The question has been discussed
for several years. and recently there
has been growing demand on the
part of the citizens for the displace-
ment of the city council form of gov
ernment and the substitution of the
commission plan.

Sioux Falls, March 10.-Watch
your step when you take change. II
some one slips you a Canadian quar-
ter you are likely to be out a nickel
unless you demur and demand Amer
lean coin. Merchants are getting
wary and some are declining to han
die any Canadian money. Some Of
the local banks also refuse to accept
it at anything but a 20 per cent dis
count so the average citizen is left
without much choice.
The Sioux Falls clearing house as
sociation has as yet taken no action
on the subject, said an official He
was unable to predict whether
it would, but thought that this would
not be necessary. "The Minneapolis
banks decline to take Canadian mon
ey except at a discount but there is
very little of it in circulation in Sioux
Falls" he said, land I believe any
drastic action would likely work a
hardship"
The difference in money exchange
rates is the cause of American banks
refusing Canadian money, said 10.

TURKS ACTIVE
AGAINST ALLIES
PERMANENT OCCUPATION OF
CONSTANTTNOPLE Is
THREATENED.

London, March 10.-A new gov
ernment. headed by Sail Pasha, has
been formed in Constantinople. a dis
patch today said. The new cabinet,
according to the dispatch. includes
most of the members of the preced-
ing government.
The exact situation in the Turkish
capital today was not clear. Latest
reports from official messages receiv-
ed here, indicated that Constanti-
nople is under martial law and con-
trolled by British soldiers. The
Turks were reported stirring up Ara
bians, Mesopotamians and Thracians.
Position of French forces in Turk
ish Asia Minor was described as Sc
rious. The French. it was said, are
menaced by large bodies of Turkish
nationalist troops of the forces of
Mustapha Kemal, leader of the Turk
ish rebels.
Occupation of Constantinople, it
was intimated, may be permanent,
the British taking the position that
the safety of the allied commerce de-
mands full protection for the gate
way to the east"
Several outbreaks have appeared
in Constantinople, official messages
said, but 1t was believed the allied
force there is sufficient to prevent the
portions.
| French dispatches indicated the
Paris government is considerably dis
pleased at the turn of Turkish events
and feels that Great Britain, Italy
and Greece have combined to force
| through a program to which they
know France Is opposed.
Meantime there were indications
that the peace conferees here will
again take up the Turkish question
to devise a formal plan for settling
the entire Turkish question. Pre-
mier Lloyd Georges statement in the
house of commons yesterday that the
government had information that 49,
900 Armenians have been massacred
in Turkish Asia Minor was taken to
mean that opinion is being prepared
for extensive British action there
The French, Lloyd George said, are
sending reinforcements to their
troops in Cecilia, reinforcing their po-
sitions to protect Armenians.

TIME To EXCHANGE
LIBERTY BONDS
INTEREST COUPONS ON SOME is.
SUES EXHAUSTED.

Sioux City, March 10.-Just be-
cause the last interest coupon on the
Liberty bond is cashed or there is
only one coupon left is no reason to
believe, bankers declare, that Uncle
Sam is going to stop paying interest
to the holders of Liberty bonds. Some
issues were put out in temporary
form and should be exchanged after
stated times for the permanent bonds.
The third Liberty Az per cent
bonds fall due March Is and should
be exchanged for new permanent
bonds with the full number of cou-
pons to be paid in the future, it was
stated yesterday by Franz Shenkberg
of the National Bank of Commerce.
The government through the banks
will make the exchange of this issue
OF bonds on or after next Monday.
Banks caution bond holders to ex-
ercise care in exchanging their bonds.
1T is the wisest thing" said Mr..
Shenkberg, "for bond owners to take
their bonds to the bank in person to
have them exchanged. They should
never be given to any irresponsible
person in exchange for what he says
is new bond or on his promise to
exchange the bonds for the owner"
Skeleton letters in large red type
across the face of the bond describe
what issue it is. Other issues of Lib
erty bonds exchangeable for perma-
nent bonds are:
First Liberty bonds, per cent, on
which the last interest coupon fell
due December Is, 1919; second Lib
erty, 4 per cent. on which the last
coupon fell due November Is. 1919;
first Liberty. AZ per cent, on which
the last coupon will fall due on June
Is next, and the second Liberty, An
per cent. on which the last coupon
will fall due on Mayf15 next.

ATTACK MADE
ON DRY ACT
RHODE ISLAND CASE BEFORE
SUPREME COURT.

Rhode Islands attack on the pro-
hibition amendment to the federal
constitution was argued in the su-
preme court, assailed by the COM
plainant as revolutionary and an in
vasion of states rights and defended
by the government as legitimate ad-
dition to the nations basic law over
which the court held no jurisdiction
Throngs attended the session.

ton, and W. L. Frierson, assistant

Rights assured the people under the
tenth amendment were never intend
ed to be taken away"
Mr.. Rice argued that the prohibi-
tion amendment resulted from a mis-
conception of the law by congress
and that the federal government had
no authority to make such a change
in the constitution. He said the terms
of the prohibition amendment are
outside the purview of the constitu-
ton.

ment abolishing. slavery?" inquired
Justice Pitney.
That was a compromise amend
ment and corrected an error in the
education" he answered.
Justice Brandeis asked what pow
er could bring about the conditions
imposed by the eighteenth amend

There is no power in the constitu-
tiOn to make such a change unless it
could be done by unanimous consent
of the states and the people," Mr..
Rice said. There is no power and
there was never intended to be such
power for encroachment by the fed
eral government upon the powers of
