SWEDISH LIQUOR
CAR IS POPULAR
AFTER TEN YEARS

STOCKHOLM, Feb. II. - Wet
sentiment in Sweden has completely
changed with regard to DIR. Ivan
Bratt, the country's liquor Car,
since his system of individual ra-
tions first went into effect ten
years ago.
AT first he was the butt of most
vaudeville jokes and the favorite
subject for ridicule in the comic
press, including the daily paper
colyums. ' Today the same Gle
mcnts treat him almost with venc-
ration. considering him to be their
savior from prohibition. Among the
total abstinence advocates the situa-
tion is, naturally, the reverse. In a
countrywide plebiScitc on prohibit
tion three years ago, the vets won
by two per cent after their main
plea had been to maintain the Bratt
system.
BY strictly limiting all private
profits in the liquor traffic TO a
low percentage on the capital IN
vested, the Bratt system not only
restricts the purchases of each fam
lily to definite amount, never more
than Il quart a week, but also col
lects for the government purse
about $25,o0o,oo0 in liquor taxes
each wear. The maximum reached
in 1921 was $2T731,OOO Since then
the amount has decreased somewhat
but still constitutes an important
item on the credit side of the state
budget. At the same time arrests
for drunkenness have decreased
since 1913 sby 40 per cent and the
amount of liquor consumed by 2T
per cent. -.

NEEDS
ORGANIZER FOR
CURBINC WASTE

LONDON, Feb. 1l.-lndustrial
England is raising Il demand for an
English Hoover to bring more profit
able order out of the present duph-
cation and waste in English indus
try.
The American Hoover is far from
popular here, especially since his re-
cent attack on the British rubber
monopoly, but this has not been al
lowed to disguise the need for a
similar influence III English com
mrcial life.
Since the dawn of the new year
the demand for order has increased
notably and has resulted i'll the de
mand for organization and waste
elimination from many different
sources.
An expert "advisory council y
for the chemical trades to investl-
gate the wastcful Implications now
going on, has been proposed. This
council would investigate all appli-
cations for industrial plants for
special .'credits'' from the govern
ment aud would approve only those
in which the plants showed some
capacity for eliminating waste,
scrapping extravagant or out of
date machinery and competing sue
cessfully with Americans, German
and other first rate plants.
The Liverpool Chamber of Com
merec has repeated its demand for
less taxation, and lot of it.
Coal owners want return to the
eight hour day; miners want the
poor mines closed and the good
mines equipped with better maehin-
cry. togethcr with the ''nationaliza-
ton Of the royalties now paid
to the owners of the ground through
which the mines are dug.
There is general demand, led
by. Lord Rothermere, for the pro
duction of electricity at the mouth
of the mine, so that the cost of
electric power may be vastly redpc-
ed, enabling British workshops to
compete with those abroad.
The ship building trades protest
against special government cred

that ship building is uneconomic at
this time, until the world S surplus

OUTLOOK ROSY FOR BOULDER DAM

Advices from Washington all seem to indicate
that the Swing Johnson bill will be passed by Con-
gress during its present session.
The long deferred legislation the Colorado river

gra.no is believed to be at hand. Passage OF the
measure will mark a great epoch in Imperial Valley
and be the fruon of work which has been energetl-
cay pressed for years by Congressman PM ID. SWING
and Senator Hiram Johnson, and their supporters.
The Press already has reprinted editorials pub

it reproduces one from the Washington Daily News
which reechoeS the opinion that the Boulder Dam pro-
ject now seems assured:

rado River helping to frame new provision
of the bill which will give absolute protection to

Arizona is still refusing to sign the Colorado
? River Compact, but negotiations now in pro-
gress among envoys of California, Nevada and
Arizona for division of the Colorado'S waters IN
the lower basin, and if these successful there
will probably be little opposition from that source.
An attempt will be made by private interests
to remove from the bill the clauses giving cities
and towns preference in leasing power privileges

vide that power shall be leased to the highest and
