BULKLEY RAPS HOOVER
ON PROHIBITION STAND
ohioan Says President Is playing
Into Bootleggers' Hands" by
Failure to Act.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. March "a
Senator Robert J. Buckley of Ohio,
Democrat, tonight declared that Presi-
dent Hoover has been playing into the
hands Of bootleggers and racketeers"
by failing to take decisive stand on
prohibition. The statement was made
in an address before the City Club
Forum.
'T do not say that it is the Presi-
dents intention to play into the hands
Of bootleggers, but IN effect that is Just
what he Is doing" Mr.. Buckley said.
He described the Presidents message
transmitting the Wickersham report to
Congress as half hearted" and with
out recommendations for action"
When say playing into the hands
Of bootleggers,' mean that the adj
,ntnistration is doing just what they
want most. They wouldn't want repeal,
because that would put bootleggers out
Of business, and they would oppose too
rigid enforcement Of the law, because
that might put them in Jail.
What they want is just enough en-
forcement so that the pikers will be
driven out. The big fellows survive"

c. Commends Organization
Of Associations

Poultry raiserS In several counties
are aiding In an organized way the
development Of o profitable poultry
industry in North Dakota. reports F.
E. Moore, extension poultry specialist
of the Agricultural college. A number
of counties are sponsoring the growth
Of the industry through county poul-
try associations, while growers in sew
eral other counties are formulating
plans for the organization Of aSso-
Citations. The latest county to Or
ganize an association is La Moure.
Counties within which poultry as
sociationS are now operating are
Barnes, Pembina, La Moure and
Walsh, while the Lake Region Poultry
Improvement association serves grow
ers In Ramsey, Benson. Towner, Cav
alier and Eddy counties. Mckenzie,
Bowman, Adams and Dickey counties
r considering the organization of
local groups soon.
These county poultry associations
make the work of the county agent
and extension service much more ef-
fective. points out Moore, and the
development Of the business is stimu-
lated accordingly. The main aim of
the groups is to stimulate interest in
poultry and to bring about an i'm
provement In quality and thus event.
ually improve the market for North
Dakota poultry products. State &C
creditization of breeding stock is also
a hoped for result.

Dickinson Plans to
License All Vendors

Dickinson, N. D., June 49, Street
vendors, auctioneers, hawkers and
peddlers may not enjoy the privilege
of making sales in Dickinson here
after without paying for it. The city
commission has offered for passage
and given the first reading to an or
dinance providing for licensing all
vendors as a means of protecting To-
cal merchants.
In event the ordinance becomes
law, anyone violating 1t will be prose-
cuted and subject to fine and inn
prisonment.. Licenses mentioned in
the bill run as high Is $50 a day and
as low as 81 a day.
The ordinance was drawn and read
following complaints of local business
houses that peddlers, taking money
from the city, were accorded greater
liberties than the local merchants.
inasmuch as the former pay no taxes
or contribute in no other ways to the
city's benefit.

declared.
There are so many simple methods
for the prevention Of successful at
tacks that could be installed and to
which the attention Of association
members has been repeatedly called,
1t is difficult to understand why these
methods are not universally adopted.
keeping the reserve funds and
negotiable securities under time lock
during banking hours, with extra pre-
caution when 1t is necessary to open
the safe and reset the lock, will pre-
vent heavy losses. It has been dem
onstrated that notices politically dis

many member banks hesitate to dis
play such notices or to keep the time
lock on during the day."

He Is one of counsel for the APP
palachian Electric Power company in
a suit to free the company's $l1 ,0oO,-
COO new river power development In

claimed by the federal agency.
The Appalachian company claims
either the law under which the COM
mission Is operating is demonstrations
al or else the power group exceeded
the authority conferred upon 1t by
that law.
The Appalachian suit is the result
of a commission order warning the

cense 1t offered contained provisions
for recapture at the end of SO years
and for valuation of the plant by the
commission.

Cotton, Not Wheat,
Biggest Cash Crop

Maybe North Dakota residents are
under the impression that wheat is
the most important cash crop grown
in the United States-but they're
wrong for once. In fact, wheat is
way down the line when cash crops
are ranked in the order Of their i'm
portance.
Cotton is king, so far as importance
is concerned in this country. MIX
ranks second, hogs arc third; then
come cattle and calves, eggs and
