Not So Sure Statesmen Will Be
Able to Meet Competition

LEGAL PROTECTION ASKED
Declaration High Prices Will Be

York Democrat

Washington, Nov. %. Big
brewers, believing their rainbow of
anti-prohibition sentiment has a bar
rel of beer at the end, already have
begun to lay their prospective trou-
bles at the governments doorstep
The worst of their fears, as expressed
to DR.. James M. Doran, director of
industrial alcohol, is the gangster.
Representatives Of some of the
largest breweries, including Ruppert's
of New York and Anheuser-Busch OF
st. Louis, have talked with Doran
within the last few days. They told
him they feared the gangster, with
his machine-like organization was
getting ready to muscle in" on the
business, and asked the government
to undertake strict permit enforce
ment if beer Is legalized.
Some brewers, meanwhile, have
aroused beer advocates In congress
by saying they must get 10 cents a
glass to make profit.
Representative O'Connor (Dem., N
" who came to Washington Tues
day with Governor Roosevelt, presi-
dent-elect, said that is too, high and
they are not going to get away with
it,
IF the price of beer is too high"
he asserted, 1.-The average man will
not be able to buy it and that will
cut down federal revenue.
I'VE are not going to have any pro-
fiteering, or stamp out one beer
racket to let another flourish"
This question of istribution-des-
cribed by OConnor as big fight"
behind the scenes between brewers
and members of congress-has been
held by many to be the most difficult
one to be solved.
Since talk of beer began growing
after the election, there have been
rumblings of the possibility of gangs
now engaged in illicit beer manufac-
ture and distribution turning their
plants into legal breweries, operating
under permit.
The old line breweries have told
Doran they can manufacture and sell
beer more cheaply than those who
entered the Illicit beer field as a
racket.
There is another angle, however, on
which they are not so certain. They
are not sure their statesmen can meet
the competition of gangsters' ma
chine guns, Sawed-off shot guns and
bombs.

SUPREME COURT IS

INITIATED MEASURE
State Argues Bill Will Not Be.
come Law Until Canvass

On completion of arguments in an

On completion of arguments In an
action to determine whether an
adopted initiated measure abolishing
publication of the delinquent tax list
is now effective or must await action
of the state canvassing board, the
state supreme court Wednesday took
the case under consideration.
The case is an appeal from an Or
der of Judge Fred Jansonius of the
Burleigh county district court quash-
ing an alternative writ of mandamus
to require the Stutsman county au-
ditor to certify to the Jamestown
Sun, official paper of the county, the
delinquent tax list for publication.
The action was brought by Attor-
ney General James Morris in behalf
Of the state against A. H. Sherman,
auditor of Stutsman county. Morris,
P. w. Lanier, Jamestown, and Scott
Cameron, Bismarck, presented argu-
ments for the plaintiff, and E. F..
Spalding, Fargo, representing the
North Dakota Taxpayers association,
and Russell D. Chase, Stutsman
county states attorney, defended the
auditor.
The measure in question, adopted
at the Nov. election, carries pro-
vision that it should become effec-
tive on election day. Counsel for the
state contended it cannot become ef-
fective until Dec. 6, at which time
the vote cast on the measure will be
officially canvassed by the state cam
wasting board and the result de-
clared.
A constitutional provision that ini-
tiative laws go into effect ION the
30th day after the election, unless
otherwise specified in the measure"
and that the result Of the vote upon
any measure shall be canvassed and
declared by the board of canvassers"
was said by Cameron to mean that
before the law becomes effective the
canvassing board first must perform
its functions.
Morris said that passage of the
proposed measure is, at this time, a
matter of rumor and that judicial
notice of the election cannot be taken
until the canvassing board meets.
Numerous inquiries were received at
the office of the supreme court We'd
nesday from county auditors who are
delaying action until the high court
decides the case.

COLOMBIAN FLOOD
CLAIMS 100 LIVES
Many Are Homeless in Andean
Area and Crops Ruined
BY DeIuge

Bogota, Colombia, Nov. 23.-(R-
Reports from HULA department In the
upper Andean reaches Of the Mag
dalena river valley Wednesday told
of disastrous floods in which 100 per-
sons were swept to their deaths by
the torrents.
The dispatches from the remote re-
gion were brief, relating the bare de-
tail Of death and adding reports many
were homeless.
Crops, consisting mainly Of corn,
cacao, and other staples common to
mountainous equatorial regions, were
reported ruined by the deluge.
The upper Magdalena river is a
very swift-flowing stream originating
between the eastern and central cor
dilleras of the Andes. Starting not
far from the equator, the great river
passes west Of Bogota, and flows
northward to the Atlantic.
Many landslides from the precipi-
tate mountainsides usually mark
floods. November, too, is one of the
rainy months, and floods often rise
with sudden fury due to the steep
decline and shale banks Of the drain
age area.
Thus the native farmers are caught
In their dwellings before they have
chance to reach safety in times OF
high water, accounting for the heavy
death toll.
