ADVOCATES TAX ON
BEER AND WINE
USE TAX DERIVED FROM THIS
SOURCE TO PAY SOLDIER
BONUS SAYS HILL

Washington, Feb. Payment of
a soldier bonus by a tax on beer
and light wines was advocated today
before the house ways and means
committee by Representative Hill.
republican, of Maryland, who urged
favorable action on his bill to Gre
ate federal local option districts for
the purpose of affording voters an
opportunity of deciding whether
manufacture and sale of beverages
of low alcoholic content should be
legalized. Under the Hill bill. which
provided that all revenue collected
in taxes on beer and light wines
should go to war veterans, each con-
gressional district would constitute a
local option district. One a major
lty of voters in any district favored
amendment of the Volstead act to
legalize four per cent beer and twelve
per cent wines the manufacture and
sale of such liquor within the district
would be permitted
The measure proposes a tax of 20
cents gallon on beer and 40 cents
a gallon on wines, which would have
to be consumed in homes or places
other than the place of sale.
Legislation that would legaiize the
sale of beer and light wines also
was advocated by Representative
Brennan. republican. of Michigan,
who declared that beer tax of 20
cents gallon would yield enough
revenue in four years to pay sol
dier bonus.
Greater respect for law will re-
suit if the Volstead act is made less
drastic, Mr.. Brennan asserted

STRIKE
IS CALLED OFF
WORKERS ARE SEEKING TO GET
PLACES BACK TO-DAY AND
SOME SUCCEED

Chicago, Feb. Packing house
workers at the various packing CEN
ters of the country were being taken
back in small numbers today fol-
lowing the calling off of the strike
Wednesday, it is reported.
Dennis Lane, secretary of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and But
cher Workmen of North America, Of
ficially announced last night the
strike was called off and the men
were free to return to work if they
could find jobs.
The strike was called December S
by the executive committee of the
union in protest against reduction
in wages.
Serious rioting that cost several
lives in Chicago, Fort Worth, Okla
homa City and Sioux City, occurred.
The packing companies announced
they would operate with non-union
men and refused offers of arbitration
extended by the federal government.
Late in January the strikers were
strike, but voted it mdown.
Since then the strike has been car
ried ON in a desultory fashion many
of the men returning to work.
The order calling off the strike
Wednesday said:
Continuance of the strike would
be useless and would cause unneces-
sary suffering among our members. -
The packing company claim the
ending of the strike is a victory for
them. They claim to have won con-
troll of wages and working conditions
through plant assemblies with the
workers instead Of through the un-
ions.
Reports from packing house cen
ters Wednesday night indicated many
workers would not be able to get
their old jobs back.
Chicago, Omaha, Sioux City, Okla
homa City, Fort Worth, ST. Louis,
Kansas City and Buffalo are the prin-
cipal cities affected.
Nebraska City's packing house zone

as well as in all other centers, IL
was stated in dispatches received
here Wednesday night. Withdrawal
of troops had not been decided up
on.

SUPREME COURT RULES
IN LAND BUYING CASE
UNDER DECISION LAND OWNER
MUST RETURN FIRST PAYMENT
WHEP" BUYER DEFAULTED

Mitchell, Feb. 4.-Word was re-
ceived here to the effect that a re-
cent ruling of Judge F. B. Smith
of the circuit court, has been revers-
ed by the state supreme court. The
higher courts ruling, which has to
do with the pucrhase of farm land,
is expected to have a statewide eff
feet as far as land deals made in
the past year or so are concerned.
The decision was handed down on
an appeal in which nj. J. Rardin, of
Mitchell, was the appellant. l.. HI.
Hauert, Plankinton, was the defend
ant. Rardin purchased a tract of
land from Hauert. last fall, paying
$1,000 down. The balance, $4,000,
became due late last fall, but Rar-
din could not pay.
Hauert declared a forfeiture with
out rendering the deed for the prop
erty. Rardin sued to recover his ori-
ginal payment and Judge Smith held
for Hauert.
The supreme court, however, de-
clared that forfeiture could not be
declared unless the deed had been
rendered to the purchaser of the
land. In scores of similar cases
throughout the state, land owners
have kept the first payment when the
second payment was not forthcom-
ing and declared the contract off.
Under the courts ruling, however.
all these owners must return the full
first payments.

WHY NOT DIVIDE NOW?

That there is much foundation for the movement just initiated by the Ketchikan Commercial Club for
 partition of Alaska into territories, to in clude the "Panhandle,' will be admitted by the great majority of Alaskans The sentiment behind this movement came into being several years and has been gradually increasing more and more peo- is unequaly distributed and the of keeping up the undeveoped and backward sections of the Territory has steadily grown oppressive.
 Southeastern Alaska development justifes the be- lief that could be, if given the opportunity prosperous Territory and within reasonably short space time be ready for admission into the Union on the basis of statehood That there is chance for all of Alaska it constituted to become state for many years is seemingly clearly apparent It's very size, and the varied physical conditions obtaining within it's borders indicate that whole its settlement and development, if soundly accom- plished, about gradually. To keep South Alaska tied to the vast hnterland until the whole is developed is manifestly uneconomic in practice and unfair in theory It retards the Panhandle without adding anything to the progress of the other and remote districts.
 Gov. Bone in his annual report last month made the statement that the time would when Alaska would probably have be divided into two territories. If the Administration will accept that view and it surely must, it is not unreasonable to expect that will recognize Southeastern Alaska s claim that it is entitled to the right to work out its future without the tremendous handicap of being saddled with aiding in the upkeep many times it's size of nonproducve and undeveloped lands To the citizens of this section of the Territory the question resolves itself into of simple,
