Cotton waste, which has long been

stopped when they were afterward

DEPARTMENTS TO

Is p Ian Of Attorney General
Johnson to Enforce
Prohibition Law. y

Bismarck, N. p, Aug. 2S.-Attor-
ney General S%veinbjorn johnson and
North Dakota Prohibition Director NJ.
Stone are On their way to Washington
today to lay before, Prohibition Com
missioner Roy Haynes a plan tenia-
lively agreed upon between them for
joint enforcement of the prohibition
law in North Dakota.
Acting in the belief that the fed
era agents and the state licensing de-
partment under the attorney geenrai
can work in conjunction, increase ef-
fcfency and perhaps lessen expense,
Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Stone have en-
deavored to work out a practical sys-
tenn for u~ni1cation, the first attempt
made along this line in the country.
Under the plan to be presented to
Mr.. Stone, it is understood, Attorney
General johnson would agree to give
the state prohibition director authori-
ty of a chief state inspector and as
such he could exercise authority over
such state agents as would be avail
able for aid in prohibition enforce
ment work. Among the things which
the state department can do and Nhe
federal prohibition agent cannot do
is in the employment of under coy
or" men who can conduct investiga-
tons and conceal their identity INC
purchase automobiles for the uso Of
prohibition enforcement agents. 1t Is
pointed that that inability Of federal
agents to conceal their identity they
soon become, known and their effec-
tiveness is curtailed:; Federal prohibit
ton forces do mot have. their own
automobiles, relying upon automobile
livery for transportation.
The joint forces would work togeth-
err both in running down liquor run
ners and in conicating stills, it is un-
derstood., G
The state license department, which
has been operated att minimum for
several months Because of lack, of
funds, is now accommodating surplus
as a result of payments for the fiscal
year in the last month, the depart
ment Is being increased in numbers.
