TAKE CURTAINS
FROM CITY BARS
PROPOSED PLAN


Curtains and partitions which
block the view Of saloon bars from
the street will all be removed in
Rock Island II the council adopts
an ordinance which Mayor Harry
M. Schriver says is being formulat-
ed.
The measure will come up for
consideration In council meeting
Monday, in all probability, the
mayor said. Its motive will be to
remove the distractions which
mask all that goes on in hars, so
that the things customers buy and
do in some of the alleged soft drink
parlors will be laid before the pub
lie.
Secrecy is unnecessary I'd the op-
Grafton Of any soft drink place
which is on the square and not vio-
lating prohibition laws, the COM
missioners believe.
Almost every bar in the city,
however, is now a place of secrecy
as far as the public outside is con-
cerned. There are curtains at
their windows, or partitions of var
ious sorts a few feet inside the
front windows, which makes it i'm
possible for the actions of those
within, both behind and in front of
the bar, to be observed by the au-
thorities unless the place is en-
tered.
The commissioners, taking part
in the present cleanup movement,
wish to make this movement per-
manent, the mayor said, by letting
the light in on what goes on at sa-
loon bars, many Of which are places
of liquor law violations.
Within the Law.
Mayor Schriver says he believes
the city will be perfectly within
| the law to pass an ordinance ord
ering removal of these distractions,
and to set the police force at work
seeing that the orders are carried
out. Action on this is expected
i Monday.
Il believe with the mayor that
such a move would have teeth IN
it. in our present cleanup" Acting
/ Chief of Police Fitzsimmons stated
In the meantime two other plans
of hating the liquor traffic and
vice traffic evils permanently are
being taken up by the city officials
The plans are: Revocation of Ii
censes and procuring federal in
functions to close places where VIC
lations of laws occur.
j Consultations with City Attorne!
John X. Scott On these, the mayor
said today, reveal them as possible
channels of relief from vicious con
ditions. He was unprepared to say
he said, how soon either of then
would be adopted.

California in times of peace and
plenty; everything could be had for
the planning and producing, and
altho they had everything they
needed to start with, the enterprise
promptly became a failure and 1t
went to pieces. In Russia since they
took away the stimulus Of private
ownership of property and the right
to conduct business in the way they
had of getting the fruits of industry
from the persons who produce it.
Russia was in a bad way at the
time Of the revolution, but they have
been getting in a worse condition
every day since that, due chiefly to
the fact that they destroyed private
ownership and with it they destroyed
individual effort, and when in
dividual effort ceases, the whole
thing collapses. Russia will never, be
able to feed herself and cloth her
self until they recognize the right to
property and individual ownership
and then they will start to build up
from the ruins of today. In the year
1920 the government took away all
the crops from the peasants and
agreed to furnish them seed in the
spring, but the government failed to
furnish the seed and that has
brought on the great famine of today
that we are being asked to overcome
with trainloads and shiploads of
grain to cover their stupenduous
mistake. The one monumental
blunder at the bottom of it all is the
blunder Of striking down the right
to own property. p.

FAVOR STORAGE
RESERVOIR

Some of our local men who have
been reporting opposition to the
American Falls storage project from
the Twin Falls country have started
an inquiry by others to see just what
their attitude is and here Is, we be-
lieve, the correct information:
At meeting held at Bull to dis
cuss the matter about 200 people at
tended the meeting and placed their
vote in the hands of trustees, who
voted 8 to 1 in favor Of the project.
At Filler the vote of the stock
holders was 5536 shares for and
$50 against the project, and the
trustees vote to l In favor of it.
At Castleford the vote of the
stockholders stood 80 to l in favor
of the project.
The report that at Twin Falls they
were opposed to it, when sifted down,
resolved itself into the statement
that they did not want to bond to get
the money on the plan proposed, but
wanted to 60 ahead and pay cash for
their share.
