'LBONO0N MEASURE GEN.
TRALI1NG WAREHOUSES;
Ways and Means Committee
Fails to Agree on Necessity
For Act Drys Favored

Washington, Apr. a. egisla-
ton to require the storage in a, few
centrally located warehouses of all
the blended liquor now in ware
houses scattered over thirty-fve
States has been dropped by the
Ways and Means Committee.
The Prohibition Enforcement Di-
vision of the Treasury Department
wanted authority to concentrate
the liquors, and at their request a
bill for the purpose was introduced
by Representative Green OF Iowa,
Republican members of the COM
mittee. He said he did not intend
to take any further action. His col
leagues declined to approve the
measure. II power is granted for
condemnation of liquors, it will have
to come through some other COM
mittee.
Opposition to the Capitalization
of the liquor is based upon two rea-
sons. First, that it would entail
unusually expensive cash OUTLAY
and, second, that there would be a
great wastage on which distillers
would be compelled to pay a tax.
The Treasury bill carried no pro-
vision for purchase of the liquor,
but there were proposals that a sum
be fixed to compensate the distillers.
1t has been variously estimated I'm
Gle Sam would have to expend 800,
OOO. 900 to 5000, 100000 if the pur-
chase was made.
Distillers pointed out that con-
centratiop would mean a heavy loss
by evaporation should they be re-
quired to move the liquors in bar
rels and too expensive if bottled in
bond. With the legislation dropped
millions of gallons of liquor remain
in isolated warehouses in Kentucky
and elsewhere, subject to the thiev-
cry of which officials and distillers
have complained for more than a
year. Congress has declined to al
low the sums requested for keeping
heavy guards about the warehouses.

OFF SEASON IN MATTERS POLITICAL
Average Citizen Follows
 Whatever His Business May Be, Making Politics Secondary Consideration.

Little. Rock, July 2S.--This is the off season in politics. The average Arkansas citizen follows whatever his business may be as d livelihood and plays at the game of politics as diversion. For the greater part of each biennial period, the diversion almost eclipses his real business, so thoroughly does he be- come involved in the political game
 Just now, however, there are heard only occasional rumblings and vague rnmors in county, district and state politics. Frequently some pros Ipective candidate, fearful that he will lose his place in the spotlight lets it he known that he will be 2 candidate for such-an-such an office and that he will make his lorna
 announcement at the proper time. The people know when they hay, enough. They are always willing

Walnut Ridge, July 2S.--Circuit Judge Dene H. Coleman, holding court at Pocahontas for Judge Baker decided the important case of the Central Power and Light Company vs. Town of Pocahoptas Monday in favor of the utilities company.

TEXAS CATTLE

Live Stockmen of Lone Star State Again Confronted by Noxious Growth Fatal to Herds.
1tUnited Press Associations,

San Engelo, Tex, July 2S.-Tegas cattlemen are again confronted with the dread Loco weed, the eating of which causes thousands of cas- alties among the great cattle herds which roam the southwestern plains,
 Loco weeds are to cattle what drugs are to the human system, ac- cording to recent Investigations. The Loco weeds thrive just before the spring grass sprouts and then again late in the fall With little tc graze upon cattle eat the Loco weed which is. in appearance not unlike alfalfa, although iis color is P'ir' plish. Cattle, once they eat the Loco weed can satisfy their apRe. 'tites with nothing else. They re fuse to eat grass. The Loco weeds have little nutriment. The cattle become thin from undernorishment and thousands die. What substance is contained in' the plants that is poisonous has not yet been deter mined. One theory presented is that some animal parasite or small 'fungoid hidden on the plant is re spOnsible.
