lst. Louis Post-Dispatch.,

lSt. Louis Post-Dispatch.l
British Columbia has given up the
attempt to rewrite human nature and
the charter of law and liberty. For
three and onehalf years it has pro-
hibited the sale of liquor. But liquor
has been sold. For three and one
half years it has endeavored to stamp
out intemperance by denying the
wherewithal to slake even a temper
ate thirst. The result, as in all pro-
bibition jurisdictions, has been to
curtail temperance along with liquor
evils and to stamp out as much of one
as of the other.
The curse of liquor in America has
been the manner of it's dispensation;
its sale in what might become and
frequently did become cultivated
hellhole. To dispose of the saloon
we attempted to dispose of liquor and
in so doing found ourselves involved
in interminable difficulties of enforce
ment involving the problem of where
to draw the line between liquor con-
sumption as crime and all other
liquor consumption. The practical
result has been maze of legal tests,
an orgy of violations and a general
lowering of respect for the law.
We have not disposed of liquor.
British Columbia, which ID a year and
half older in prohibition than we
are, did not dispose of liquor. Her
final resort has been to revive the
traffic under the auspices of common
sense, deceney, regulation and con-
troll. Liquor will be sold in sealed
packages from Government stores,
to persons bearing permit. Its
quality will be guaranteed, its amount
to an individual limited, and the trans
actions of a decent person desiring q
moderate portion of liquor need not
be attended with the circumstances
OF crime.
viii America one day realize the
futility OF fooling herself? Will it 60
back to common sense and funda-
mental principles in dealing with the
liquor problem? British Columbia
sets an example.

Suit Involving Big Sum.
Poplar Bluff American.)

A. T. Brewster of Ironton, Missouri,
has returned from Jonesboro, Arkan-
sas, where he appeared before the
United States District Court as coun-
sell for Richard j. D. Cowan, repre-
senting group OF go or more settlers
in the Big Lake Settlement near
Jonesboro, in an injunction suit
against Drainage District No II OF
Mississippi county, Arkansas, and the
state tax collector, suit involving
$4,3sO, ,75O. In the year 1s47 the United
States Government made survey Of
Big Lake district and called it q lake,
1t being in the wet season and prob
ably full of water. In 1914 new sur
vey was made with the result that
the so called lake was declared land.
In 1916 the government threw open
the land to homesteaders. Soon after
Cowan and others took up land. In
1917 q drainage district was organized
In the district and an act became
effective whereby tax OF $50 per
acre was imposed on the settlers for
the drainage projuct. According to
the petition OF the plaintiff it is alleg-
cd that In 1917 when the state Of Ar
kansas enacted the taxation statute,
the land was government land and
not subject to taxation. The petition
in detail points ont that taxation Of
government land by the Constitution
OF the United States and by the laws
Of the State Of Arkansas, Is unlawful.

the Attorney General may bring crini-
mai action against any one charged
with fraudulent practices as defined by
the act, or he may transmit evidence
as to such offense to the District At
torney of the county or counties in
which the alleged violation has oc-
Cured.
THE new law is directed not only
at the principals, but at the officers,
managers and agents of companies en-
gagged IN fake promotion schemes
Millions of dollars have been drawn
from savings banks in this country in
the last few years and invested in fake
stock schemes. The vultures who oper-
ate these devices are becoming bolder
every day. Only the other day at this
convention member of this associa-
tion received a cleverly worded and
alluringly illustrated pamphlet which
drew an odicuS comparison between
the man or woman Who put his or her
savings in a savings bank and the man
or woman who invested III oil stock.
Even in this advertisement the law
prohibiting the use of the words 'sav-
ings bank in financial advertising ex-
cept by savings banks was violated.
The pamphlet was SO alluring that it
would make strong appeal to the
foreign born citizen or the struggling
workman who had a savings account to
draw his money out of the bank and
put it into the stock offered for sale"
The resolution unanimously adopted
by the Savings Banks Association fol-
lows: Resolved, That the Savings
Banks Association of the State of New
York desires to place itself on record
as strongly indorsing the act of the
Legislature recently signed by the
-fxX-n hoe cd tn = oo.
further resolved, that in case an or
ganization is formed to support the
Attorney General in carrying out the
provisions of the law, this convention
refers the matter of joining such an
organization to the executive commit
tee with power"

the through rates than they are now
receiving. The trunk lines vigorously
opposed this proposal. They con-
tended that the New England roads
we're already receiving fair or more
than fair division of rate. They also
asserted that the gift, for that is what
they said it would amount to. of
larger division of rates would be funda-
mentally unfair to trunk line company
security holders.
The trunk line case before the COM
mission was conducted under<the GEN
eral leadership of w. H, Williams,
president OF the Delaware & Hud-
son. Although the fact that the New
England roads were earning a smaller
percentage than trunk lines were. on a
fair valuation, was not denied - it
couldn't we'll be, since the New Eng
land roads operating deficit was incon-
tsovertible--the contention was made
that the New England roads were be-
ing operated less economically than
the trunk lines. This the New England
roads denied. The gist of their argu-
ment was that the continued operation
OF the railroads of New England was
essential not only to New England in
dustry, but also to the profitable opera
tion of the trunk lines. The business
interchanged between the trunk lines
ana the New England roads formed
such huge part of the business of the
trunk lines themselves that they could
not afford to lose it. The New England
roads could not operate much longer
under present conditions.
The New England roads are not
operated as economically as the trunk
lines, when measured in money. they
never have been, and no one has ever
shown constructively how they could
be. New England is like great
switching yard, into which cars are
poured for distribution and the empties
are redistributed for loading, are
collected and assembled and sent out
through q comparatively few gate
way7. a long unbroken haul in through
tralnloads has proved an operatine
impossibility. The New York Central
can send trainload of merchandise
through from New York to Buffalo
without breaking it once. The merchan-
disc originates in large enough ouan-
tity at New York to permit making un
full train for Buffalo and points
beyond. The earnings mile of a
train such as this may amount to ST or
SIS, but the expenses are only those of
assembling at the point of origin. Of
fuel and trainmen's wages for the
main line haul and of yard expenses
at Buffalo.
No such thing as this is possible on

No quarters will be given to pro-

taken this week by the $50 delegates
to the twenty-eighth annual conven-
tion Of the Savings Banks Association

Following their denunciation of fake
promoters the convention indorsed the
Martin act passed by the state Legis-
lature at its last session, and discussed
ways and means to strangle the efforts
OF fake promoters through the enforce
ment of this law.
Members of the Savings Banks Asso-
citation plan to investigate every stock
promotion scheme that is brought to
their attention with a view to making
complaint to the Attorney General
as is provided under the new law, Of
any person. partnership or corporation
engaged in the promotion Of fraudu-

also will investigate the effects fraudu-
lent stock schemes have and are having
