WHEELER WILL
WARN NDRYST TO
BE ON GUARD
National Wet Organization
NObilizing Against 18th
Amendment, He Says

Washington, Nov. 4.--R-A sharp
note of warning and paean of con-
graduation for the accomplishments
in Prohibition enforcement down to
this time are sounded in a report
prepared by Wayne B. Wheeler, chief
counsel, for presentation tomorrow at
the opening of the biennial conven-
tion Of the Anti-SalOon League of
America at Chicago.
With 40 national wet organizations
mobilizing against the prohibition
amendment, Mr.. Wheeler declares
there must be eternal vigilance by
the dry forces. Already there has
been challenging opposition, he says
but adds that in the face of the fight
the prohibition forces have moved
uphill steadily.
"No similar policy Of government
bas shown more continuous, con-
structive gain" he asserts, adding:
"The desperate ferocity Of the Op-
position of the wet minority today is
testimony to the increasing etfec-
tiveness Of enforcement. We are
winning all along the line"
Their Activities
Citing the activities Of the asso'
citation against the prohibition
amendment and the Rational Ameri.
can league as typical Of the work OF
the wet organizations, Mr.. Wheeler
informs his fellow dry workers that
these associations are concentrating
on two plans:
political campaigns to pick off the
drys in congress and state legisla.
lures and political congress of mis-.
representation of prohibition.
Their program, if successful he
argues, "means notification of the
federal law of the land and would be
an object lesson in contempt for law
unparalleled in history"
Campaign Fund Contributors
w. w. Atterbury, president Of the
Pennsylvania railroad, and Lars An
derson, former American minister tt
Norway, are two of half dozen OF
more men whom Mr.. Wheeler says
are named by the Association against
the prohibition amendment as contrl
butors to their campaign funds t.
elect wet members of congress. Boil
Of these are listed as contributing
s., 900 each with other contributor
named as follows:
John F. Harris 1000; W. H. Wood
in $1,000; Frederick Brooks $500

PAINLEVE
CABINET TO
''CARRY ON
Premier Given Vote of Conf
dence But Lease of Life
Considered Short

Paris. Nov. 4.--tP) -"The ministry
will carry on" Thus replied Paul
Painleve, the premier, to persons who
asked him today what were his flu
ture plans.
The interrogators had in mind yes
terday's opening session of parlia-
ment, when the premier was given a
vote of confidence on his recon
structed cabinet program, but only
with the aid of former political enc
mics and with l2l deputies refrain
ing from voting. The ballot showed
22l to ls9 in favor of the premier
plans.
The vote Of confidence gives the
government lease Of life over the
opposition of the Socialists but il
political circles the opinion prevails
that it would not extend over any
great length Of time. 1t is considered
in those circles that an administra
tion which can count only 22O out OF
the $50 votes in the chamber hardl!
has sufficient strength behind it tt
undertake imperative Legislation
which vitality affects every French
man.

MORE STATE
BONUSES WILL
BE PAID SOON
Over 5000 Claims Paid Each
Year-WOrk Will BE
Completed in 3 Years

With money beginning to roll into
the state treasury as the result Of
October tax collections, preparations
are being made by the adjutant gen
erals office to resume the payment of
bonus money to North Dakota men
who served during the world war.
Provision is made in the state tax
budget for one mill n year to be used
for the payment of soldiers bonus.
This amount produces approximately,
$1,000, 900 year which is distributed
to ex-service men as sign of the
states appreciation of their valor
Of the 25,2s4 claims which nave
been filed to date 1900 have been
paid in full. the payments being made
in the order in which the claims were
received and approved for payment.
Since payments were begun in 1920
the average number paid each year to
date has been in excess of 5000 and
officials Of the adjutant generals Of
flee estimate that the work will be
completed in another three years.
Applications Stiu Coming In
No time limit has been set on the
filing of applications for the bonus
as was done in some states and an
occasional new claim is received even
at this late date. the records show.
These claims are handled OH the same
basis as those which were filed imme
diately after provision for the bonus
was made.
In numerous other cases inquiries
have been made by persons entitled
to bonus and the matter dropned.
To these the department is sending
letters pointing out that they are not
properly protecting their Interests
and urging them to complete the pro-
cess of filing their claims at once.
Unusual Cases
Several instances have come to
light where payment has been pre-
vented by changes in the address of
the persons entitled to the money. In
recent case man now living in
Fargo received a check for $77J, the
maximum amount allowed by law, af-
ter the state bonus office had search
ed for him for five months. Mail
sent to his original address was re-
turned undelivered. Finally the post
master Of his home town located him
in Fargo and the check was sent to
him there.
In some cases the men entitled to
the bonus have died since filing their
claim and the money is paid to their
relatives.
Completion of the bonus payments
will remove the heaviest single drain
on the state treasury and permit of
reduction in taxes with him the
next four years unles additional APP
preparations keep the tax rate at it's
present figure, Tax Commissioner I.
H., H. Thoresen said.
|. At present the levy for the bonus
is the biggest single item in the state
tax budget and completion Of the
bonus payments will either reduce
the tax rate or release $1,O00.OOO a
year for other state purposes if the
present rate is maintained. ''' =

Hamper Ignite Industry,
Operators State

iner for the Interstate Commerce
Commission, of evidence relating to
the proposed increase in interstate
freight rates on Ignite coal from
North Dakota mines was concluded

the Fargo Commercial Club, and I.
f. Durrant, traffic manager for the
Grand Forks Commercial club, were
present at yesterdays hearing. The
organizations represented by them
are interested in the outcome of the
hearing because Of the possibility
that whatever rates are determined
upon for Moorhead and East Grand
Forks, Mimi, also will be applied to
the neighboring North Dakota cities.
Persons opposed to the rate in
crease contendcd that because of the
relatively low heat value of Ignite
coal it would throttle Ignite min
ing in North Dakota to increase the
rates in accordance with the carriers
demands.
Among those who testified yestcr-
day were A. S. Pratt Of the Northern
States Power company. Minneapolis;
j. l.. Thurer of the Republic Coal
