When They Voted ON 1t.

Washington, March 21.-An en-
tirely new attack on the validity of
the prohibition amendment on the
requirement that it be ratified in
seven years was begun here today.
The attack was made in brief
filed by counsel for ]. ]. Dillon of
San Francisco who is charged with
the violation of the prohibition en-
forcement act. Dillon is seeking writ
of habeas corpus.
The provision attacked was offered
first by the then Senator Harding.
The section making the entire arti-
Gle imperative unless ratified N sew
en- years the brief asserts and speci-
fies that it violates Article of the
constitution which gives Congress no
power to impose limit on its rati-

control whatever the states may do
in their deliberations is a violation
of states rights.
The brief quoted Senator Harding
who said that his vote for the resolu-
tion was conditional on this provision
being approved, and quoted Senator
Borah as having called attention then
to the unconstitutionality of the
amendment

NEW HOME FOR
AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT
$325,OOO FOR BUILDING
The Board of Agriculture is
Waiting Until Some Dispo-
sition is Made of Work of
Old Building Commission in
Order to Secure Plans Made
for the Building.

Raleigh, March 21-With the ad-
ditional SIS, 200 appropriated by the
legislature at the last general session
the department of agriculture hopes
to have a sufficient amount OF money
with which to carry out the two year
old plans for erecting a new home
for the department This additional
appropriation will give $325,0O0 for
this building, which amount will
have to cover the cost of removing
the old building now used by the
department.
The 1919 session of the legislature
appropriated quarter of million
dollars for this work, but the build
ing commission, after looking into
the suggested plans of the depart
ment and it's needs advised that the
kind of structure needed to house
the various branches of the depart
ment could not be constructed for
$25O,OO0 especially at a time when
the prices of building materials were
higher than they were during the
L.
ture also wanted offices put in the
building for committee hearings dur
ing the session of the legislature and
for other legislative purposes. At the
present time the capitol building has
been outgrown and legislative COM
mittees are forced to find quarters
anywhere about the city they can.
This is not satisfactory.
The additional $4,000 appropriate
ed by the 1921 session of the 1egisla-
ture was appropriated with view of
giving the department sufficient
money with which to construct these
additional Offices. The board of agri-
culture is now waiting until some
