Senator FOresees
Drastic Coal Action

Washington, June 22.-Drastic
governmental action will be demand
ed next winter unless steps now are
taken to stabilize the coal industry,
Senator J. s. Frelinghuysen of New
Jersey declared in the senate, in op-
ening the debate on the bill which
provides for seasonal freight rates on
coal.
Senator Frelinghuysen expressed
the opinion that price fixing or IL
censing will not relieve the situation
but that legislation of the character
proposed will bring relief to the con-
sumer and better conditions for the
operators.
Within the last five years the
country has suffered from shortage
of coal caused by blizzard, switch
mems strikes, and traffic jame," said
Senator Frelinghuysen. Freight
rates are sky high, and unless some
thing is done to stimulate buying the
panic price of last year in the late
spring and summer may be repeat
ed; next winter transportation may
be overtaxed and If so a shortage
will occur. Then / firmly believe,
drastic government action will be
again demanded by the people"

GERMANS NEED
FEED FOR COWS
YOUNG MAN, WHO
MADE TRIP WITH SHIPMENT
Mich ANIMALS, TELLS OF
TRIP.

CanistOta, June 22.-IIenry Witt
rock, McCook County young man,
who has returned from Germany,
where he with other young men ac-
companied a large shipment of cows
from South Dakota, gives an inter
esting account of his own expert
ences and those of some of his COM
rades.
Going over young Wittrock had to
milk &c cows twice a day. He states
it was vastly different from milking
cows in a barn or the barn yard on
a farm, and il was some days before
they became experts in the work of
milking cows on a plunging ship.
In the opinion of Wittrock, ii was
a mistake sending these cows to
Germany, for SO far as he could as
certain, there were plenty of cows in
Germany, it being possible to buy a
good animal for as low as $65. He
states that what many of the Ger
mans owners of COWS now need worst
Of all is feed for the animals. He
said that rich people of Germany be-
came richer during the war while
the condition of the common people
naturally is much worse than before
the war.
He said further that things IN
Germany are moving along about the
same as in this country, with the
exception that people of moderate
means have to get along without a
great many things they purchased
before the war AS a rule, automo-
biles are idle, because in many sec
tions of Germany there is no gaso-
line to be had The scarcity of
money adds greatly to the bad con-
ditions prevailing.
Young Wittrock made the entire
journey to and from Germany with
out receiving a scratch, only to be
thrown from an automobile soon
after his return to South Dakota,
striking the ground on his head and
shoulders, breaking his collarbone,
dislocating his shoulder, and break
ing two bones in one of his hands.

TEXAS GULF COAST
SWEPT BY WIND
HEAVY RAIN, WIND AND HIGH
TIDE DAMAGE PROPERTY.

Houston, Texas, June 22.-Raging
winds and sheets of rain swept the
Texas gulf coast today, tearing trees
from their roots and doing extensive
property damage. The gale whose
maximum velocity was rs miles an
swept northwesAvard from the
mouth of the Rio Grande a bowling
storm, bringing with it rapidly ris-
ing tide waters. 1t was first report
ed from Brownsville after radio mes
sages from the sea warned gulf
coast inhabitants of the danger. The
gale swept the Padre and Brazos
islands off shore and hundreds of
vacationists fled to the mainland for
safety. Flood warningsh were given
the people who live in the lowlands
of Galveston. Many ships off coast
were at the mercy of the winds. a
Galveston oil tanker, William H. Do
heny, lost her propeller in the heavy
gale early today and was at the mer-
cy of the wind, according to a radio
message appealing for help imme-
diately.

MANY QUESTIONS
TO BE VOTED ON
-FOUR CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND.
MENTS AND FIVE INITIATED
LAWS WILL BE SUBMITTED.

Pierre, June 22.-Unless the SUI
preme court allows the filing of ref
erendum petitions, which it is alleg-
ed will be brought to it on test
case, the issues which will go to the
people for vote at the next regular
election are four constitutional
amendments and five initiated laws.
The amendments are:
Amending Sec. l, Article I'll of the
constitution increasing the percent
age of names on initiative and refer
endum petition from five per cent
to 15 per cent.
Amending Section / Article TX OF
The constitution authorizing the leg
islature to provide by general law
for changing county boundaries, and
organization of new counties.
Amending Sec. 10, of Art XI of
the constitution authorizing special
tax levies against lands along streams
for protection from floods and eroi-
sion.
Amending Sec. 2, Art XXI of the
constitution, allowing the Legislature
by a two-thirds vote to fix official
salaries, instead of a close constitu-
tional limitation which now exists.
The initiated laws which We're
presented are:
Creating a state bank, along the
lines of the state bank law of North
Dakota.
A repeal of a portion of the pres
ent strict Sunday laws on the sta
tutes.
Authorizing the expenditure of the
necessary money for creation of a
state hydro-electric plant at Mo-
bridge.
The removal of the state univers-
ity from Vermillion to Sioux Falls.
Repeal of the state sheriff law.
The voter who goes to the booth
with his constitutional and law bal
lots at the next election will receive
more guidance as to what the effect
of his vote will be than he has in
past elections.
The was amended at the last ses-
sion to add to the requirement that
the attorney general shall prepare a
statement to place upon the ballot, in
place of complete copy of the laws,
additional information stating after
each statement prepared that vote
yes" on a constitutional amendment
means a change in the constitutional
provision, and a vote mot" means
that the constitutional provision will
remain as it is without change.
That on initiated laws vote
Eyes" means that the new law will
be effective and vote "no" that 1T
will not be of any effect.
On referred laws, that vote
"yes" means that the legislative ac-
ton will be set aside, and a vote
mo- means that the legislative &C
ton will be sustained; this for the
reason that in many cases the voter
is confused by the form of submis-
sion and is not certain in many cases
just how he is voting and the sub
iect presented to him.

DRYS SPLIT ON
CHANGE IN LAW
DINWIDDIE AND w H Il Il l. K II
CLASH OVER PROPOS SED
AMENDMENTS TO VOL
STEAD'S STATUTE.

Washington, June 22.-Prohibi-
tion workers split on the question of
amending the Volstead law
e. c. Dinwiddie, dry worker and
former Anti-Salloon League official,
urged that the Volstead law be di-
vided and only sections prohibiting
beer be passed Immediately.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun-
sci of the AntiSaloon Leagues differ
ed with Dinwiddie.
Both Wheeler and Dinwiddie with
Representative Volstead, were be-
fore the house rules committee seek
ing special rule to obtain early ac-
tion on the prohibition supplement.
Dinwiddie suggested that the in
dustrial alcohol sections of the
amending bill be left until later.
"Other changes such as consolida-
tion of prohibition enforcement and
the concentration of all liquors in a
few warehouses will be demanded"
said Dinwiddie.
THE provisions SO strongly OPP
posed today can be reconsidered and
put up in the next bill, but the beer
provisions should be enacted at
once"

STERLING HOME
ON SHORT VISIT
SOUTH DAKOTA SENIOR SENA
TOR AT VERNs1LLION SAYS
VOLSTEAD BILL WILL GET
THROUGH.

Sioux Falls, June 22.-That the
ton enforcement act by the new bill
now before the house, will go thru
both houses shortly, substantially
without amendment, is the opinion OF
United States Senator Thomas Sterl-
ing, given over the long distance
telephone from Vermillion this
morning where he arrived Sunday
for a two-day visit. Senator Sterling
came to deliver the commencement
day address to the college of law at
tha state university where he is the
former dean.
THE Volstead bill as now before
the house in its amended form, was
SO thoroughly discussed and prObed, "
said Senator Sterling today, that
believe it will go through without
much difficulty and | can readily
conceive why Congressman Vol
stead is willing for no further amend
ments, after so full an airing.
II do not look for any actual re-
of congress this summer although
the senate will probably have short
recesses of 10 days while the house
is busying itself with important leg
islation. The tariff bill is likely to
be before the congressional bodies
all summer before the final action
but this congress is caring for much
important legislation"
Senator Sterling leaves again for
Washington Tuesday afternoon.

now on equality with Germany but
this bill will ruin it," said Mr.. Whit

which to carry away their loot.
The robbery Is thought to have
