Walter F. Brown. Chairman
of Reorganization Board,
to Urge Plan on Cabinet
to End Bootleg Evil
3 Members to Oppose Ii
Hoover, Wallace and Fall
Reported Firmly Against
Scheme for Distribution
From The Tribunc's 1yoshinotom bureau

From The Tribunc's vashimotom bureau
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.---Thc pur-
chase and distribution of the entil
stock of liquor in the United States j.,
TO be recommended to the Cabinet and
to Congress by Walter F. Brown, chair
man Of the Commission on Reorganiza
ton of Government Departments, il
was learned to-day.
Ever since President Harding an
pointed Mr.. Brown as executive repre-
sentative on the commission last sum-
mer rumors concerning drastic changes
in government departments have been
heard. The latest plan. however, which
is to deal with government control of
liquor mas aroused considerable oppo-
sItion among members Of Congress
Mr. Brown, in his report, which is in
the hands Of the President, states that
such purchase can be made and turned
over within the year at large profit
and simultaneously, through gro. ping
storage depots, effect huge saving in
the cost Of guarding liquor.
The proposed department Of public
welfare, under the provisions of the
plan, would supervise the entire distri-
button of liquor, exclusive of prohib
ton enforcement. The latter phase
would be under the direction Of the
combined Secret Service agents. Such
plan would do away with the boot
leg evil, in the opinion Of Mr. Brown.
Hardships suffered by physicians and
hospitals in obtaining liquor for me-
dicinal purposes would be greatly re-
lieved by the plan, it is believed
1T is understood that several Cabinet
members will wage war upon the re-
organization plan in all its phases
when the President submits the report
to the Cabinet. Secretary of Commerce
Hoover, Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace and Secretary Of Interior Fall are
reported as the three "irreconcilablcs"
to the reorganization plan.
The commission in it's report to the
President has recommended the
transfer of the Bureau Of Markets and
Roads from the Department of Agri-
culture to the Department of Interior,
and the transfer of the Patent Office
and the Bureau of Education from
Interior to the new department of Pub
lie Welfare. When the reorganiza-
ton committee drafted an earlier re-
port the Department of Labor was in
Guided in the list Of transfers to the
Department of Public Welfare, but the
protests were so vehement that the
commission decided against it's in
clusion.

Town Board Has Declared for
Water Works---Engineer to Be
Here Friday to Make Estimates

The meeting of the town board last
Monday night was one to be remem-
bered by Keytesville.
There were several reasons for this
the most important, perhaps, was
the fact that the town board has at
last taken action toward the matter
of going to a show down in regard to
the installation of city water works.
The ordinance, the first step toward
this, was presented by City Attorney
Drace. This matter being dis
posed of, the next Jtep to be taken
is getting an engineer on the ground
with reference to procuring an esti-
mate in regard to the approximate
cost so that bids can be advertised
for to the end that special election
can be called.
The town clerk was instructed to
send to st. Louis to some of the con-
struction companies requesting that
an engineer be sent here to meet with

$3.50 SET AS TOP COAL
PRICE AT THE MINES

Washington, d. C. Establishment
Of a maximum price of $3.50 ton
for coal at the mines in 80 per cent
OF the present production fields for
the duration of the strike, was an
nounced tonight by Secretary Hoo
yer. He regrets, he added, that a
small minority of the operators, rep
resenting Western Kentucky refuse to
cooperate and are demanding higher
prices.
Consumers can insure themselves
square deal under the prices estab-
lished by checking freight rates with
the maximum price, Mr.. Hoover said,
and, determine whether they are buy
ing contract coal and then make prop
er allowance for cost of retail dis
tribution.
The maximum price, he explained,
applies solely to spot cash coal. Con-
sumers who are not treated fairly
may appeal to the commerce depart
ment with assurance that inquiry in
to their cases will be instituted.
Mr.. Hoover announced he is ad-
Hsed that operators of Virginia,
West Virginia, Tennessee and East
Kentucky will accept the maximum
of $3.50 ton below the Garfield
scale in that district. Western
Kentucky operators, he continued,
are demanding $4.25 ton, but he
does not feel justified in advising the
public to accept that price level al
though, he said, production costs are
higher in that district than in other
fields.
Conferences with Pennsylvania op-
orators are expected to be held next
week.
"It should be understood" Mr..
Hoove rsaid, "that the whole object
of the administrations interest in
coal prices is to protect the consumer
by indicating the maximum price that
would be fair for spot coal during
the temporary period of the strike"

A BAL FIRE

About three o'clock Tuesday morn
ing Momer L. Green, who has been
sleeping in the home residence dur
ing the absence of his parents in CAL
ifornia, was awakened by the smell Of
smoke and found that the entire
building was mass of flames.
He hastily vacated his room, but.
was unable to save anything from the.
house except an old trunk belinging
to his mother. All other clothing and
furniture was destroyed. The house
was a seven-room structure, near the
county line, and no water protection
was available.
The loss will total at least $4,000.
There was $4,000 insurance on the
house and $500 on the contents, in
the Waring agency.
Mr.. Green expects to leave in a
few days for Redlands, California,
where his parents are, and will then
inform them of the fre.-Marceline

the town board tonight.
This man will prepare diagram
and figure estimates, etc.
The ball has started rolling and in
a short time the city will be in posi-
ton to call for the special election.
1t has been a hard matter to get
the correct amount of enthusiasm in
this matter worked up to the end that
the town board felt justified in going
ahead and starting something. The
board felt that there was no question
of the matter being carried by big
majority providing that the correct
amount of boosting could be done. As
the matter stands now, with the Com
munity club standing back in a solid
unit there is no question of how the
vote is going to be.
Friday night the st. Louis engi-
neer will be here and then we'll be in
it for keeps.

#. q NJ. DEPOSITORs ARE
COMMENDED BY WEST

]. @ West, the bank examiner,
of the state department, who first
took charge of the Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank since its failure, left
Saturday. West made many Friends
while here and handled his work ad-
mirably. He was very highly recon-
mended by the state head of finance,
Mr.. Hughes.
Before leaving, late Saturday, Mr..
West gave the Democrat the follow
ing statement:
eHaving completed my work in
connection with the Farmers and
Merchants Bank for the time being,
upon leaving wish to say that the
people of Moberly conducted them
selves in a most splendid manner
during their recent misfortune, and
wish to assure the depositors and
people interested in the closed bank
! that Mr.. Hughes, the commissioner
of finance, will give them every as
sistance possible to get 1.-THE most of
their money at the very earliest pos
sible time. ! feel that the appoint
ment of A. E. Marriott as special
deputy in charge was splendid
move as he is taking hold of the
! affairs of the bank in a business
! like manner and with the determin-
alton of making good. He has not ac-
cepted the position with view of
getting a big fee, but has the de-
positor at heart while he is making
a record for himself, and it is to the
interest of every good citizen of Mo-
berly and vicinity to get behind him,
and all pull together for the interest
of yourselves, your city and your
neighbors. l wish to especially men
tion the attorneys who have not ap-
peared to be selfish in this matter,
but have conducted themselves in a
professional like manner and ap-
parently at all times looking to the
fee that they may be able to get
from some unfortunate. The selec-
tion Of the depositors' committee
was q good one, and / am sorry that
the affairs Of the bank were So tam
gled up that it was necessary to take
the process of liquidation, but /
hope that after period Of from four
to five months, it will be practical
for one or more Of sthe Moberly
banks to take over The affairs Of the
bank and make the settlement with
the depositors. l feel that the board
Of directors viii give material assist
