To Ask Legislature
For Enabling Act on
Construction of Dam

jamestown, N. D.. Jan. 2S.--t9-
The executive board Of the James
town Chamber of Commerce will ap-
point committee to draft an cna-
bling act for presentation to the state
legislature to allow the construction
Of dam on the James river between
jamestown and Arrow Wood and Jim
Lakes. No representatives were
present from South Dakota cities at
the meeting Of the James River Dam
association, held last evening, which
invited the local chamber to take this
action.
Assistant State Engineer Robert f.
Kennedy and City Engineer H. H.
Hurning discussed the cost Of such
a dam and the river flow and their
estimates were widely divergent.
James Barrett, secretary Of the
Devils Lake Chamber of Commerce,
was present and was called on for u
short talk on the Missouri river di-
version project. He declared that it
would be a matter Of several years
before action could be obtained on
the Missouri river plan and thought
that the damming Of the James is in
direct aid to the project and Of inn
aid to the jamestown situa-
tion as regards sewage disposal.

M'AD00'S TALK
ARGUMENT FOR
PROHIBITION
Says Corrupt Politics Is Us
ing Campaign Against Dry
Law as Smoke Screen
SCORES LAW VIOLATION
Prohibition Has Nothing to
Do With Increase in Crime,
Says Speaker

Toledo, o., Jan. 28.-[P)-Using the
campaign against prohibition as a
smoke screen, corrupt municipal
politics is making q concerted and
nationwide drive" to control national
politics, William Gibbs McAdoo to-
day told the Ohio State Bar Associa-
tion, here.
He declared the United States. in
continued flouting of prohibition
laws, is approaching ,"the slippery
path to anarchy"
The country's problem, he said. is
to resist the debasement Of its civ
ilization at the hands. Of machine
politicians, whether they. come in the
guise of Republicans or Democrats -
Two great municipal bosses," he
asserted, "tried to gain control of
the United States senate, at the No.
vember elections, making their drive
primarily as champions of the liquor
traffic and every evil force connected
Herewith"
In an address which consisted of a
structure of arguments for prohibit
tion and against the repeal Of the
eighteenth amendment, the former
candidate for the Democratic pres
idential nomination asserted the
question of law and order is one of
the gravcst confronting the nation
and that the root of lawlessness and
disorder is the attitude Of those who
take the constitutional inhibition
against liquor lightly.
Would Not Halt Crime Wave
The return of lcgalized liquor, he
declared, would not effect remedy
for the crime wave, because, he con-
tended. prohibition has had nothing
to do with the increase of deeds of
violence.
That, he asserted, has been prcdi-
Gated on growing disrcspect for law,
and the only sway out is the path OF
duty and obedience to the law"
The only lawful way to change the
constitution, he pointed out, is by
the adoption Of another amendment
in the nature of repeal or modifi-
cation of the one in question. He
charged those who seek shorter cut
to legalized liquor with being nulli-
ficationists.
New York and Montana, in repeal
ing their state prohibition enforce
mcnt laws, have taken action which is
voided by the express words Of the
eighteenth amendment, he contcndcd.
He placed Maryland, which never
enacted an enforcement code, in tho
ranks Of nullificationists.
In all such cases, he said, the rem

Little

Washington, Jan. 28.--lPl-Eco-
nomic advantages over alternative
routes of a Great Lakes to- Atlantic
waterway via the st. Lawrence river
were outlined in a lengthy report
submitted to the commerce depart
ment today by two of its experts.
The report, prepared by f. S.
Gregg and A. Lane Cricher. said the
proposed St. Lawrence ship cannal
would develop at the outset between
100000 and 2l,0O0,OO0 long tons
Of traffic annually and would enable
the midwestern farmer to get wheat
from Chicago or Duluth to Liverpool,
at IA cost at least 6 l2 cents per bush
el lower than that he now pays.
The experts also found that 27-
foot channel into the Great Lakes
would admit 81 per cent of the dead
weight tonnage of ocean vessels now
coming to the United States, and con.
cluded that the st. Lawrence channel
would develop much greater amount
Of traffic than the other projects
which contemplate connection with
the Hudson river and Lake Ontario
either with or without an American
canal between Lake Erie and Lake
Ontario.
Comparative Costs
The actual cost Of transporting a
ton Of freight to Liverpool from Lake
Erie via the st. Lawrence would be
Sl.sl. the report estimated, while il
would be $349 if the canal charge
from Lake Ontario to the Hudson was
included, and 1897 if an all-American
route was followed.
These higher costs, it was added
would probably restrict the Grea,
Lakes to- ocean business to about 90
100000 tons a year.
While wheat would be the CHIEF
commodity moved, the experts con.
cludcd that very large tonnages OF
crude and refined copper, agricul.
tural and automotivc machinery
meat, and steel products generally
would promptly flow into such new
channel.

60 per cent of the country's present

SENATE VOTE EXPECTED
SATURDAY OR MONDAY

Final senate vote on the flour label
bill, one, of the minor storm centers
Of this legislative session, is expect
ed tomorrow or Monday at the latest.
The senate state affairs committee,
which had the bill under considera-
tion yesterday, was expected to take
it up again today and indications
were that it will be reported quickly,
possibly without recommendation.
Its passage is expected since several
Independent senators are pledged to
vote. for it. 1t is considered certain,
however, that one or more Nonpa,ti-
san votes will be cast against it de-
spite the wishes of Governor A. G.
Sorlie and the vote will be close.
The executive recommended pass
age Of the measure in his message to
the legislature.
Amendments Agreed to
Several amendments to the bill
have been agreed to and in its. final
form it is expected to require only
that flour sold in North Dakota carry
u label showing the kind Of wheat
from, which it was made and the state
where the wheat was grown. Its
passage, the executive contends, will
give North Dakota mills an advan-
tage in marketing flour in competi-
tion with that shipped in from mills
outside the state.
Legislative opposition to the bill is
being led by L. L. Twichell, majority
floor leader in the house, and Bit
ter battle IL expected both in the
house state affairs committee

ABOUT
FLOUR LABEL
BILL. OPENS
Hamilton Against Bill, Whit
man Supports Ii in State
Affairs Committee

The opening of the expected fight
on the flour labelling bill, recon-
mended by Governor A. 6. Sorlic in
his inaugural address, came in the
senate committe on state affairs
Thursday when it resumed cons idcr-
alton Of the measure.
Senator ID. II. Hamilton, McHenry
county, was Outspoken against the
bill, and was supported by Senator S.
}. Atkins, Towner county.
Senator W. S. Whitman, Grand
Forks county, who introduced the bill,
told the committee that the bill is
designed to place flour manufactured
from North Dakota hard wheat ut Il
premium in competition with other
brands. He said that both he and the
governor contend that North Dakota
hard wheat is superior to other va
rites, and that requiring all flour to
be labeled concerning the materials
used in it's manufacture would give
North Dakota flour an advantage.
By eliminating the clause that the
label shall also show the percentage
of protein, Whitman asserted that
the bill would favor both the state
owned mill at Grand Forks and the
smaller millers of the state.
Hamilton's Cont ention
Hamilton contcndcd that the act is
intended to favor the state mill only,
and would place an unnecessary bur-
den on smaller millers as we'll as
destroy the spirit of competition.
There is nothing to prevent the state
mill or any others from so labelling
their products now if they desire, he
said.
The committee adjourned without
taking any action, and will probably
continue its consideration of the
bill Friday.
The state affairs committee also
recommended for passage the bill
creating a state board Of hairdressers
and cosmetologists to regulate beau
ty parlors Of the state. The COM
panions bill rewriting the BARRIERS
regulations was discussed without ac-
tiOn.
A concurrent resolution introduced
by Senator Whitman, authorizing the
governor to appoint a committee to
work with the national and other
state committees in planning the
bicentennjal in honor Of the 2OOth
birthday of George Washington in
1882, was recommended for passage
