 It appears that there time ago ruling that could the juice of the in that quantity for his he could have it done an established winery. In such lots the govern ment did not concern itself with the subsequent process of fermentation. It assumed suppose, that the juice though it might later possess "kick and be called wine. be devoted personal
 In this case the juice allowed ferment the premises where 1t expressed. in building adjacent to the winery. Its removal denied to market Thus situation has arisen which will call for another in the enforcement the Vol stead act.
 In the other citizen of California died leav- ing part of his estate two barrels of whiskey, which in itself the prevailing prices tutes something Of an estate. His widow applied to the probate of San Francisco an to sell this whskey at s25o a gallon.
 The application has been taken under advisement but the news story does state what puzzled the court to such extent that the order could be made off hand-whether it doubted it's authority to bdden or whether custodian the estates of decedents he regarded the sale the proposed price as reckless dissipation of the estate

CONGRESS IS FOR DISARMAMENT
BY DR. FRANK CRANE Copyright. 1921. by Frank Cranel

It's working
 For it is impossible, once Great Idea is born, to kill it.
 The one Great Idea that came out of the war, bit of bright gold out of fiery furnace, World Cooperation to end War.
 April 18th was great day in congress Bourke Cochran delivered of the most stirring addresses heard in those halls It was powerful plea for disarmament and warning to the other nations that unless they agree to it the United States will bring pressure upon them to compel them.
 Both Democratic and Republican leaders vied with each other in denunciation of the mad folly of bank rupt world plunging still further into the abyss in "a mad rush for the biggest navy
 Let us hope to God that at last get this movement under way without being snagged by par tisanshp. It surely is big enough question for both parties to champion.
 It is so big that it means the life death of civilization.
 Representative Kelley, chairman of the subcom- mtee of the Appropriations Committee handling naval appropriations, opened the field day. for the denun citation of armaments.

 "If you look at this proposition from the broader aspect of international reduction Of armament & winch 1 necessity of doing, said MT. Kelley his tremendous load of military equipment which is put upon the shoulders of the world certainly ought to be lifted and America ought to play her part in helping to lift it. Fortunately in my Judgment, this program would be to that end.
 ''Why? Because it puts us in position where we can offer to make proportionate reduction of the navies of the world Whenever the world wants to ter into agreement to the effect that they will duce naVeS 70 per cent or 90 per cent or 4 per cent America with this program enter into it without prejudice to national defense because our relative strength will be unmpaired, and Because when the reduction is made still the equal of any nation in the world in power"
 Representative Theodore Burton of Ohio followed Representative Kelley Bitterness and hate have deep he said land it is for to be ready for any emergency. It is time for international negotiation conference for stopping this mad rush for the struction of arnaments.
 "Is not this just the time for the President to call together the nations of the earth and say Come let reason together Let do away with the absurdty of this waste Common sense, that which directs sensiby the of many persons ought to bring this test toa close"

OURLAST OIL BOOM

with no money or little money. The prospective operator must be pre- pared to pay one-fifth of the amount he agrees to pay the government for lease. It is impossible to say what the leases will sell for, but it is sug- gested that $100,000 might be the bonus on a tract of $40 acres. In addition to this the bidder must be prepared to sink wells. and the pres ent cost of sinking a well in the Salt creek field is about $1S,o00.
 An Orderly Development
 The prospect, therefore, is for an orderly development by well organ ized companies. This oil field will have busy and respectable future But it's past is not without a touch of romance. The government inves- tigators, who hve bee,i examining the titles to various tracts. have unoov- cred many interesting stories.
 The value of the field has been known for 40 years or more, and al of it has been taken up by prospec- tors, some of it many times. The law requires that a certain amount of work must be done on such { claim if the claim is to be valid. These claimants were for the mos part poor men. The field is 50 mile, from a railroad. Boring for oil i: expensive. They were able to holC mineral claims by digging shafts witt their own hands, but they were no able to bore oil wells, for the mos part.
 In 1909, when the approachins | shortage of oil was realized, the gov ernment withdrew its oil lands iron

entry, and there was no provision for developing oil deposits on govern ment lands until the passing of the leasing bill in 1920 Now that these lands are to be leased the govern ment must pass upon the titles of all Nthese small claimants Many of them will be dispossessed because they have not done enough work to make good their claims, but some of them have succeeded in patenting their lands
 The field has not been without it's romance of wealth. For example, one man came there as a poor driller and took up lands. He married and raised a large family and took out otber oil lands in the names of his wife and children. Unable to get capital to develop ,nese lands, he leased the right to do so to others and so made a good deal of money
 He is said to have been a zealous litigant over his rights, and to have won the sympathy or the court in many cases by holding himself up tc its mercy as d poor working man in the hands of sharks. flow this chil- dren ride around in automobiles and even fly around in airplanes.
 Another set of claims which arc said to have merit, derive from z pioneer who stopped at the Sal creek field in the late seventies on his

How to seeurs Railroad.

A letter has been received from Colonel c. A. Simmons San Francisco head the western div- sion of the American City Bureau concerning the mainline situation which discussed with him while he recently visiting Phoenix.
 Several suggestions offered in the letter, chambers of commerce other civic bodies. through which cities communities work, for making showing to railroad companies of the advantages which would accrue from the building of lines
 There is added part of reply made the research division of the American City Bureau by the Railway Business Association in answer to the question, What showing is community expected make in order to entice railroad to build branch nne?" It was stated that "the surest way supple ment showing otherwise favorable would be to convince the managers of the railroad that the ness men of the community are too broadminded and too farsighted to anything about rates cept where they alleged be discriminatory"
 It is true that it is the discriminatory which hurts rather than the heavy rate. On eSneral modities such dry goods and heavy groceries as well very large part of all commodities, the weight does not actually fall heavily. We feel the rates only by comparison. Merchants of town would care much about rates which did not put them at disadvantage with other towns Nor would munities object to rates. though heavy ones which do curh their development favor rival communities Rates may be unreasonable. excessive and discriminatory It is at the latter that regula- ton is chiefly aimed The removal prevention discrimination constitute the chief problem the interstate commerce commission.
 Yet there commodities in which rates may be high, though they may not be discriminatory to interfere with development actually prohibit it. That is true of extremely heavy bulky commodities. such building materials. We have had illustration of the effect of high in high way building operations. The freight have pay cement is greater than the cost of making and reasonable profit cement There have n- stance of interference with development, harmful alike to community and carrier.
