STATE WILL SEEK
HIGHER INTEREST

AUSTIN, Sept. 12.-At the meet
ing OF the rate-making board to be
held here next Monday, W. Gregory
Hatcher, state treasurer, announced
Saturday he will urge an increase in
the rate on call money deposited in
the reserve repositories throughout
the state.
The rate is now per cent, and the
state treasurer will make an effort
to have it raised to 2 1-2 or 8 pei
cent. That such a proposal is to meet
with opposition before the board is
generally indicated as it is reported
the board may make an effort to re.
duce the rate to IL per cent.
Mr.. Hatcher characterized as alb
surd any efforts that may be made to
lower the interest paid by the state
repositories. The rate is now 4 per
cent flat and the law, he pointed out.
says that the rate shall not be below
4 per cent and the banks have always
been pleased to get the states funds
at that rate.
As soon as the board has fixed the
rate of interest for the state deposi-
tories, he will Immediately invite
banks in the drouth area to become
repositories by filing a surety bond
with the state depository board. His
plan is to place about 100000 in
banks in the drouth section of the
state.

The revised navy budget must be

The navy, in conforming 10 its en-
forced economy program, will be
obliged TO curtail many Of its activi-
ties, including aviation. Several i'm
portant shore stations are likely 70 be
closed, including the Boston Navy
Yard, Great Lakes training station,

It is also possible that the United

action By President Coolidge is the

IS THE BOOTLEGGER ANY
WORSE THAN HIS
CUSTOMER
Dosage, Iowa, Press }

The bootlegger sells his booze
for profit. That is a matter of COM
mon knowledge. Whether he makes
it, hijacks it, gratis it out of some
bonded warehouse, or runs it in
from seas, he's frank to admit he's
doing it for profit. That's under
standable to any of us, no matter
how pious, hypocritical, or con-
ceited we may be.
But who can explain why the
customers buy the stuff? That's
harder. Very few people any longer
try to pretend liquor is good for
anything, except heart stimulant,
and it isn't often our hearts require
stimulating. A great many people
have lived long lives without it.
Liquor is mighty expensive. Few
people in the ordinary walks of
life can afford it. At best it gives
nothing better than a headache,
and at its worst it blinds and poi
sons nowadays. And that is the
sort of value the buyer gets for his
money-a lot of money, money
that might provide many of the
comforts of life.
The buyer of liquor is a boob
and he generally knows it if he will
only own up to it.
Between boob and bootlegger
who ranks highest?

AS the additional reports will be from

better showing, it is very probable that
the reports for 1924 will approximate the
figures for 1921.
According to these data it seems that
the so-called reaction against prohibition
is over and that we have turned the cor
ner.

announcement of the new district ar
rangement:
Secretary Mellon in announcing the
completion of plans for the reorganiza
ton of prohibition enforcement. said.
Assistant Secretary Andrews, having
analyzed the situation in prohibition law
enforcement, has submitted a plan for
reorganization and policy which he has
worked out in collaboration with Conn
missioner Blair of Internal Revenue and
commissioner Haynes of Prohibition
Unit, and the heads of his various depart
ments. The plan has met the UNQUALIFIED
approval of the President and of this De-
partment. The change will be started
August l and the whole plan put into
effect as rapidly as conditions warrant.
Proper Federal Field
ut is believed the federal function in
prohibition enforcement is to stop the
sources of supply; importation, diversion
of legitimately manufactured alcohol, H.

ton of alcohol and alcoholic beverages.
Federal law enforcement energies will be
directed primarily against the bootleg in
dustry in all phases of its operations. Ef-
fort will be made to assist and develop
local enforcement. The Treasury De-
partment will work in closest possible CO.

PROVEMENT IN CONDITIONS
OF ENFORCEMENT
Nation Has Turned Corner and
Constant Progress in Fight for
Sobriety Is Seen

Is there really more drunkenness now
than before? OF course, the wet propa-
ganda spreaders claim that there is more
intoxication. In view of this propaganda
and the fact that the reduction of intoxi-
cation is the chief direct objective of pro-
hibition, makes figures on this subject of
vital interest and Importance.
Authoritative and comprehensive sta
tistics recently made public by the World
League Against Alcoholism, quite con-
Clusively show that drunkenness has de-
Cidedly decreased during the dry period
as compared with the years preceding the
adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment
The actual figures for arrests for drunks
tell only a part of the story because
greater proportion of drunks than for
merly, are now arrested. Proof of this is
the very apparent absence of drunlls
from public places.
The preliminary report of statistician
for the World League Against Alcohol
ism, Robert E. Corradini, follows:
Intoxication in 1924 Below 1923 and 1922
On June 80, 1924, we will have con-
cluded the sixth full year of prohibition.
The following advance report on intoxica-
tion may prove of interest.
The preliminary data which is pouring
into the Research Department of the
World League Against Alcoholism at $50
Fifth avenue New York City, show that
the number Of arrests for intoxication for
the fiscal year 1924 are far below those of
1923 and even those of 1922.
Up TO June %, 1925, returns for one
hundred twenty-nne cities in thirty states
were received These cities have an ag-
.sregate population of over twentythree
million people. Arrests for intoxication
during 1924 were 1874 per one thousand
population, in 1923 the arrests for intox-
cation per one thousand population were
ia, for 1922 they were l5.3, and 11.3 for
1921.
Nearly All Large Cities Included
In the one hundred tewenty-nine cities
which have reported so far, are to be
found almost all of the largest cities of
the country, with the exception of Chi
cago, which has not yet reported and the
figures for which city could not be used
for this survey anyhow, as Chicago re-
ports drunks under the general heading
of disorderly conduct. This survey in

interest in today's brief session of
the stock market was confined to a
few motors and specialties, which
were bid up briskly, the general list
displaying a firm tone in relatively
quiet trading
Maxwell issues again were the fea-
lures the A stock being bid UP 6
points to a record high at fo4 and
the B stock closing more than a
point higher at 63% after selling
points below that figure. Buying
OF these issues was stimulated by
the reorganization plan announced
after the close Thursday, which pro-
vides for the formation of a new cor
poration to take over the Maxwell
properties, the transfer being accom-
plished through an exchange of
stock. Nash Motors was the indi-
vtdual feature, soaring % points to
a record high at $50.
Steel Common Steady.
United States Steel common held
relatively steady in the face of a
poor March tonnage statement, clos
ing only q lower at max. Baldwin
closed at 112 for a small fractional
loss. but American Can was bid up
more than points to 16s and then
fell back to 166.

dends by crossing 81 for a gain of

rails being counteracted by the
strength of Lehigh Valley, Atchison
and Southern Pacific. Chicago and

recent low of 49l2, closing slightly
above that figure for a net loss of
