CANNOT WITHDRAW |NTOX|CANTS FROM
 FEDERAL STORAGE
Owners Denied Liquor Even for Personal Use Under Decision of Supreme
 Court
By Associated Press

Washington, January 3o.-Intox- icating liquors, stored in govern ment bonded warehouses, cannot be withdrawn by owners for personal use, the supreme court held in de- cision delivered by Justice McKen- na. Such liquor can only be trans ported from the bonded warehouses, Justice McKenna stated, "to a wholesale druggist for sale to him for purposes not prohibited
 The court in a previous decision had held that owners could withdraw from private warehouses liquor for their own consumption or for the use of their family or their bona fidc guests. Today's ruling marks a wiis distinction between private and bond . ed warehouses.
 Justice McKenna on this point said that "mere ownership was not the equivalent" to possession and de- clared that under the Volstead law, there must be ownership, and pos session in ones private dwelling, and that character cannot be assigned to the bonded warehouses of the gov ernment"
 Not Property Seizure
 The cases before the court did not, he said, have the effect of deprivi az those who held warehouse certifi 5 cates of their property without due process of law, nor did 1t amount, he added, to the taking of private property for public purposes without due compensation.
 Referring to the contention that the prohibition amendment, and the volstead act, if applied to liquor manufactured and lawfully acquired before the amendment and the law became effective, would be void, as taking from property its essential attributes of the right to use 1t, pos sess it and enjoy 1t, Justice McKenna stated, that the court was "not dis posed to trace the clements of the contentious minutely," as they were all answered by the former decision of the court In the national pro- hibition cases.
 Referring to that part of the law which permits one to use lawfully obtained liquor in his home, Justice

Which Way Shall We Travel?

When E. H. Hartman, the greatest constructive
intellect that ever turned his attention to tranSpor-
tation, took over the western railroads, he fought
to accomplish their highest possible efficiency as
carriers.
He reduced grades, cut out curves, enlarged sid
ings, shortened time for coaling and watering, en-
larged rolling stock, speeded up trains and sought
enlarged volumes of traffic.
Twenty-Five years ago the western railroads had
~60-pound rails, Today most of them have 90
pound rails,
Then the freight cars carried 10000 to 10000
pounds freight. Today, freight cars carry $4,000
to 10000 pounds freight.
Hartman found them single-track railroads.
Today they are double-track on all divisions re-
curing it.
Roosevelt fought to break up the big railroad
mergers and said he would send Hartman to Sing
Sing.
Legislation following his fight stopped the rail-
road clock and for fifteen years our country has
spent millions annually, not on needed new rail-
roads but on valuations, accounting, legislation and
regulation.
Every cent a railroad takes in or expends must
be reported in duplicate or triplicate to state and
federal commissions, costing millions annually but
producing not one cent Of new business.
In fact this entire useless, predatory ~interfer-
ence has to be paid for out Of the pockets of the
people in high freightS and fares and, on top of
this, the army Of officials and their families ride on
free passes.
1t takes six different classes of u~nionized labor
10 repair a locomotive headlight, In the old days
the engineer did it. Thanks to Mr.. McAdoo, it is
all added 10 the freight.

Waiting

They are waiting for me BY the sun down sea,
Friends Of my heart in the uSed-to-be;
They are waiting for me at the violet gate,
Where shadows of love in the twilight wait!
They are waiting for me, | know, | know,
In the autumn lanes, BY the streams that flow
Out of the valleys Of dusk and dew
The loved that lost, and the leal, and the true
They are waiting for me, and ii makes life sweet
As 20 on the way Of the weary fleet,
To think Of the shadows beside the shore
That will know me again as they knew me of yore
They are waiting for me, the frail and the fair.
In the golden dream of the ambient air;
They are waiting for me by the shutdown sea,
Friends Of my heart in the used-to-be.

The announcement of Mr.. Barratt that there is
still a chance that money will be forthcoming for
the completion of the Jones Hill unit of the Ore
gon-Washington highway, is encouraging, and it
is to be hoped that the commission may be induced
to see how important it is that this uncompleted
job be finished. 1t is we'll to remember, however,
as Mr.. Barratt suggests, that there are many other
portions of state highways over Oregon that are
in condition identical with this, and if the money
is lacking, and the commission see fit to finish
some other road that they consider of greater i'm
portance, we shall have to be content. However,
Heppner people will regret to see Mr.. Barratt re-
tire from the commission and will always remen-
Der that he did all he could for his own part of the
state, conscientiously, and that much we have re-
ceived would not have come our way but through
his efforts.
