Chicago, Jan. 20.-A series of
raids on downstate cities, in an at
tempt to make Illinois 'bone dry"
was announced yesterday by Eliot
Evans, acting prohibition chief, fol-
lowing the arrest of Il liquor law
violators in Peoria.
Special Investigators" he said,
have been dispatched to other Illi-
nols cities, and raids will be made
as fast as evidence can be coordi-
mated and search warrants obtain
ed. Federal injunctions asking for
the closing Of all saloons found to
be violating the laws will be sought
in the federal courts.
Reports coming into the prohibi-
ton Office describe the conditions
downstate as deplorable. Wild
whisky orgies are said to be staged
daily in various cities. Rockford,
Moline and Peoria are named as
places where conditions are said to
be very bad.
Conditions barred by the investi-
cations downstate," declared Mr..
Evans, make it imperative that &C.
tion be taken Immediately. In many
towns saloons are running wide
open without semblance of obey
ing the law. Most of the booze
sold is moonshine, but in many
cases real bonded goods are passed

Although We have only a few
agents at our disposal, we have
been promised the cooperation of
state authorities. In this way a few
dry agents can clean up a CITY,"
Illinois people who pick Moline
as liquor oasis or as a place to
stage wild whisky orgies," are
doomed to disappointment.
That's the answer to Chief Ben
DeJaeger to the news stories tell
ing about a 'series of raids on
downstate, cities and telling ol
wild whisky orgies which are said
to be staged daily in various cities
including Moline.
Mayor C. P. Skinner agrees with
the Moline chief of police. Ac-
cording to Chief DeJaeger, these
stories are the product of hair
Drained Chicago reporters. One OF
the stories charges that Rockford
Moline and Peoria are named as
places where conditions are espe-
cially bad"
] The chief declared that condi-
tons are not especially bad here
1--WE may have been little more
active in Moline and arrested few
more law violators, but there are
no wild whisky orgies Anybody
who comes to Moline on the
strength of these stories will Ger.

| The presence of a large number
of prohibition agents in Moline who
are going to make the town "bone
dry" is also denied by city off.

Ever since prohibition enforce
ment laws became effective federal
agents have been in and around

A number Of raids have beer
made in Moline. Some were made
by federal agents and some by Mo.

ECONOMIC
COUNCIL TO
AID HARDING
Business Men Suggest Ad.
>visory Board as Help to
New President.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
(Special to The Argus. J

Washington, d. c., Jan. 20
Leading business men want War
rem Harding on his assumption Of
the presidency to create an in
formal economic council or cabinet
with which he could consult ON
legislation and other policies of
government than affect the nations
business.
The council would be unofficial
and responsible only to the chief
executive, who could, of course.
accept or reject the suggestions
made. The function Of athe copn-
Gil would be purely advisory. The
idea grows out Of the splendid use
which the government made during
the war Of just such advisory
bodies.
Business men of prominence
who have been discussing the idea
were at first inclined to take it to
Marion but they concluded that it
was something that could Just as
well be taken up after Mr.. Harding
is inaugurated. The principal ar
gument which is made in behalf Of
an economic council is that con-
gress shortly will begin to revise
the tariff. Political pressure will
be brought to bear by sections of
the country and by individuals
where particular interests are AZ
fected. No one agency. would be
inclined. It is contended. to look at
the tariff question from . national
aspect, considering particularly
the effect of q bill as whole on
the. foreign trade Of the country or
international exchange. From whom
would Mr.. Harding be- able to get
an unbiased and national point OF
view on the tariff! The tariff COM
mission and members Of the finance
and ways and means committees
Of congress would be absorbed in
the scientific application of tariff
rules and formulas. Thus the
purely business point Of view was
reflected in the national business
organizations Of the country and
the banking world might go unrep-
resented.
Would Enlarge Council.
But the authors of the idea-and
among them are men OF influence in
the banking and business world
do not ask that the council be made
up solely of business men. They
suggest that representatives Ol
labor and of agriculture as we'll as
distinguished economists shall sit
on the advisory council and be
called into session whenever the
president has any particular prob
lem on which he wants advice OF
judgment.
Many q dispute has arisen in the
past over the probable effects ol
legislation and while some mem.
bers of congress have contended
that a particular bill would helK
foreign trade others have argued
that it would hurt. There has beer
no group of disinterested individ-
uals with business viewpoint tt
whom a president could turn fol
