BOOZE CONTROL
PLAN WILL Be
GIVEN CONGRESS-
Bill to Amend VoIStead Act
and Make Other Changes
Drafted.
By WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs


Foreign Editor scripps-Howzrd Newspapers
WASHINGTON, Feb. la COM
bination Swedish Canadian Amer
lean liquor control plan for the
United States may reach a vote at
the next session Of congress.
A bill embodying such plan has
been introduced In the house of rep
resentatives and referred to the
committee Of the judiciary, which
already has given it an initial near
ing. The write understands the
{ chances are good that eventually it
will be favorably acted upon and re-
ported out.
The measure was introduced by
Representative Adolph j. SABBATH of
Illinois.
. DR.. Ivan Bratt, practicing physi-
: clan of Stockholm, was a daily wit
ness to the ravages of hard drinking.
. At first he favored total prohibition.
. But investigation convinced him
that any law making a crime Of
. something which millions of citizens
of high character honestly con-
slider a legitimate and harmless
practice of their daily lives, could
not be enforced, because public op.n-
ion could not be rallied behind it.
So. DR.. Bratt evolved what is now
known as the Stockholm, Swedish,
or BratS system of liquor control,
which has made the Swedes q tenn
perate, law-abiding people.
Similarly, DR.. FEed w. Buck OF
Denver told the judiciary committee
Of the house that he had been led
60 give his time to the Federal Dis
pensary Tax Reduction League,
which is behind the resolution in
question. Temperance, he believes,
can be brought about in the United
States only by taking the control of
liquor out of the hands of the under
world, where it now is, and putting
it back into the hands of the gov
eminent, where it belongs.
: The objects of the Federal Dis
pensary Tax Reduction League, &C
cordirg to its charter, are:
1. TO abolish bottlegging and
other crimes against the revenue
laws of the federal and state gov
ernments.
2. To war against the return of
the saloon in any form.
8. To seek to have the law modi-
fed to include punishment of the
purchaser of Illegal booze as well
. as its makers and purveyers.

mantling of the section of the Cen
trail Indiana railroad, between here
and Advance, is under way.
The railroad known as the Mid
land, and also as the "Mudsocker,"
has had a stormy history, much of
its difficulties being due to efforts of
its owners to cease operations.
These efforts were strongly fought
by residents of towns served by the
railroad.
Out of the dismantling, the rail-
road hopes to salvage considerable
equipment, including 10000 ties and
several miles of steel rails. Even
drain tile along the right of way is
being dug up.

All Truck Trailers Must
Have License in Minnesota
Law Definite, Makes No Excep-
tions, State Highway Bulletin
Pointa Out

. All trailers and semi-trailers OPP
Grated with trucks or tractors must
be licensed, according to state
Highway bulletin, which calls at
tention to the law covering this
class of vehicles.
The only trailers exempt from
the license tax are "smal trailers
of less than 1000 pounds capacity
used only with pleasure cars on oc-
casional trips" The line is not de-
finitely drawn between regular"
and occasional" use of trails with
passenger cars.
The law relative to trailers used
with trucks or tractors is definite
and there are no exceptions. Any
trailer used with a truck, or any
other motor vehicles except pleas
lure car, must have license,
whether it is used regularly or oc-
casionally, and regardless of size.
:. The law defines a trailer" as
/. any vehicle designed for carrying
property or passengers wholly on
it's own structure and for being
drawn by a motor vehicle. A semi-
trailer is a vehicle of the trailer
type so designed that part of the
load is carried by the towing ve-
hicle.
The license fee on trailers and
semi-trailers is "a per cent of the
value, the minimum fee being So
for each ton or fraction of a ton
capacity.
Reports have reached the high
way department that numerous
trailers are beeing operated without
licenses in hauling timber. Oper-
ating a trailer without license is
a misdemeanor, and those found
guilty may be punished according
ly. There are also the regular
penalties for delayed registration.
The latter are definite penalties
which cannot be RENTED.

ment showing that in one year the
value of dead animals arriving at

Gus efforts to reduce these losses. I"
Replies to QUESTIONABLE sent to
livestock shippers, asking them
what factors in their judgment are
the principal causes of death losses,
gripping and bruising of hogs in
marketing, developed the following
eleven chief causes:
L. Chasing hogs around on the
farm in order to congregate them
into trucks and wagons.
2. Lack of suitable chutes for
loading into wagons and trucks on
the farm and also for unloading at
the local stockyards.
8. Poor chutes for loading into
the car at the local stockyards:
A. Icy or slippery chutes.
5. The use uf clubs or other
improper instruments for handling,
which cause excitement OR over ex-
ertion.
g.. Heavy feeding of hogs be-
fore handling on che farm or just
before loading into the car.
z. Fighting caused by placing
strange hogs together at the local
yards while awaiting shipment.

separate hogs from Their classes of

Chicago, Jan. PA New Year
word of cheer for agriculture and
of counsel for the farmers to CO.

President-elect Herbert Hoover's
farm relief program has come
from Frank o. Lowden as he de-
parted for four months of globe
trotting.
Farmers who nave been able to
weather the depression so far" he
said, SHOULD take heart for the
future because the increase in pop
ulation is much more rapid than
the increase in farm products. vs.
are bound to have better times for
agriculture if we only persist in
doing the best we csn.
"All sincere friends of agricul-
ture will cooperate whole hearted
ly with President-elect Hoover in
his program. | believe there is a
wider understanding of the prob
lem Of the farmer than ever before
in our history.
eve never had a presidential
campaign in which the farmer
played so prominent a part as in
the recent one. A clean cut issue
was developed as to remedies and
the candidates of the two major
parties each recognized the CRAWL
ty of the situation.
"Both candidates proposed fed
eral farm board Mr.. Hoover set
forth that the board should set up
a sterilization corporation with lib
eral advances from the government
its purpose being to stabilize the
price of farm products. The idea
of such a corporation, of course, is
to attempt the handling of seasonal
and occasional surpluses in the
hope of preventing them from de-
moralizing the market. He. how
ever, frankly rejected the idea that
the cost of equalization should be
distributed over the whole COM
modify thus stabilized.
4 stOn the other hand, Governor
Alfred j.. Smith forcefully asserted
| the principle that the cost of hard
ling the surplus should be shoul-
dered by the commodity benefited.
In substance, this was the principle
of the equalization fee.
'"Thus the issue was clear cut.
When the people preferred Mr..
Hoover to Governor Smith, they
thus in effect issued mandate to
Mr.. Hoover to proceed with the
farm program he advocated. All
friends of agriculture will now
work with him in giving his pro-
gram effect.
Undoubtedly congress will wish
freely to consult with the president
as legislation is being shaped. Z
understand that special session is
to be called. That, I think, would
be the proper time for action upon
this important question. AS Mr..
Hoover will have the responsibility
of administering whatever laws
may be enacted, it appears to me
that wise course at present is to
wait the Inauguration of the new.
