HALL EXPLAINS
LAW MACHINES
Workings of 10th Congress
Described at Kiwanis
Meet

The interesting process Of law
making at Washington employed by
the two great lawmaking machines,
the house and senate, was the topic
this noon for an interesting talk by
Congressman Thomas Hall of Bis
marck, at the regular weekly XII
wants club luncheon.
Mr.. Hall based his talk on the
operations at Washington, particu-
larly the 10th congress. During
this season, he explained, Of more
than 14,443 bills presented only ap-
proximately 900 became laws.
The process of lawmaking is an
interesting one, Mr.. Halls talk indi-
Gated. The work Of the various
committees, the routine through
which the bills are put and the final
disposition of the measures were all
clearly outlined.
"One-third of the bills are pre-
sented by congressman and senators
who do not know what they are all
about" Congressman Hall said
Usually they are submitted for the
purpose of furthering some personal
whim. or for some party faction or
affilation."
"This is a country Of common
people. Only Al per cent of the
voters cast their ballot at the last
presidential election. A greater in
terest should be taken in the cleo
ton of not only county, and state
officials, but national officials as
WE'LL"
Congressman Hall also urged a
greater interest in local affairs.
While tax burdens are decreasing
nationally. they have increased
three times in North Dakota in the
last few years, Mr.. Hall said.
w. E. Cole, chairman of the en-
tertainment committee, today intro
duced the speaker. George Shafer,
president, presided.

Of directors followed today's lunch

Return here Monday of Governor
Walter Maddox from his home at

opments, shed little light on the
political situation that has been
puzzling observers for the last few
weeks.
Upon his return from his home
where he had spent a few days, Gov
ernor Maddox said merely that he
had no further announcement to
make concerning his possible can

made late last week.
Il am merely waiting now for
action to be taken by the Nom

Maddox said at the executive Of
flee today. IF the Nonpartisan
party gets behind me in a united eff
fort, will certainly be q candi-
date for the governorship on the

should be defeated in the race,
would at least have the satisfaction
of getting the Nonpartisan party
back into one solid party" Mad
dock added that he had heard MOTH
ing Of the plans Of the League
executive committee in regard to
the matter.
When questioned concerning the
action Of the executive committee
regarding the candidacy Of Mad
dock. Fred Argast, a member Of
the committee, said that no i'm
mediate action was anticipated and
that any action they might take
must await the decisions of DR.. L.
s. Platou, Fargo, who was nom-
mated by the Nonpartisans at the
Jamestown convention to make the
run for the governorship. Unless
something unexpected turns up,
Argast said, no immediate meetings
of the executive board are antic-
ipated. However, he said, if DR..
Platou decides not to run for the
governorship, the committee will
hold meeting to decide what steps
shall be taken.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 11.-(AP)--
Judge Andrew A. Bruce, professor
Of law at Northwestern University,
speaking at a luncheon Of service
clubs here today, said the murder
rate on alcohol in the United States
was greater than that of the gun.
in the city Of Chicago" Judge
Bruce said, 1880 murders were re-
corded in 1927 and during the same
period there were $40 deaths from
alcoholism. The difference was more
than made up by the murders COM
mitted by drunken men.
"A paroled prisoner told me re-
Gently that bootlegging was about
the only work or business an ex-
convict could engage in Chicago
without being subjected to the
weekly roundups and molcstations
Of the police. Every day ordinary
criminals are shot or beaten by the
police and no protest is made. Let
a bootlegger, however, be shot or
beaten and we have a different
story"
Judge Bruce assailed "this solicit
tude for the bootlegger," saying the
public as a whole did not believe in
shootings or beatings but "played
no favorites. He said the senti-
ment of the nation as whole was
dry, otherwise "why the declaration
for law enforcement in the plat
forms Of both political parties?"
