WASHINGTON, July 5.-Safety
of foreign-f1ag rum-running ships
from United States prohibition en-
forcers, as long as they stay outside
the twelve mile treaty limit, appears
assured, as result of a justice de-
partment announcement.
Attorney General Mitchell an
nounced the government would not
appeal forfeiture proceedings which
federal prosecutors brought against
the Canadian vessel Cadet, seized
off Nantucket and found to be
laden with liquor.
The federal court, Mitchell said
found that the Cadet had not been
at any time within four leagues OF
the United States, and hence dis
missed the libel.
The dismissal, and the subSe-
quent failure to appeal the case
to higher courts, will enable the
Canadian owners to get liquor and
vessel returned.

SLICE EXPENSES

ASSEMBLY TOLD
Tax Association Demands
Legislature Cut Costs
at Outset.

Cutting government costs should
be the primary objective Of the Spe-
cial legislative session which con-
venes Thursday, according to men,
bers of the Marion County Associa-
ton for Tax Reduction.
Leslie Colvin. association presi-
dent, today issued program backed
by the membership which calls for
tax reduction before any considera-
ton is given measures for raising
revenues.
The program embraces points
agreed upon as economy measures
by the senate and house co-opera-
tive committees.
Consider All Plans
1--WE urge that no measures for
raising revenue be taken up until all
bills for economy have been consid-
ered," Colvin said.
IF the tax levying measures, over
which there is sure to be much con-
troverSy, are taken up first, it is
more than likely that the legiSla-
ture will spend the entire forty days
fighting over them, just as con-
gress has done in the session now
closing. The result will be no re-
lief for the taxpayers this fall and
the cost of the session will have
been wasted.
Our program combines what we
believe are the essential proposals
for economy legislation, on which
there is least divergence of opinion,
and from which the maximum re-
suits in saving of the taxpayers
money can be obtained"
recommendations Made
Recommendations of the associa-
ton include:
Repeal of the three-mile gravel road law
and cancelling all petitions for new roads
now pending under the law.

way bonds.

LITERARY pIeEsT's VOTE VERY LIGHT

While 1t will not affect its enormous advertising value, the 20
million straw vote of the Literary Digest bids fair to find Its finish in
the dud class. Over five weeks ago that excellent vehicle of infor-
announcement that 100000 straw ballots were being sent to that
many voters including all parts Of all states. Just two questions were
asked: Do you favor the continuance of the 18th amendments prohi
bition)? Do you favor the repeal of the 18th amendment?
According to the latest returns, listed in the Digests current num-
Der, 2063111 of these 20 million ballots have been voted and returned
the states containing great cities. There appears to be a unmistakable
shift to the wet side in the ranks of those electors who are in the
habit of responding to the Dgests frequent efforts to reflect public
sentiment The friends of intoxicating liquor ae no doubt finding
great comfort in the totals of the For and Against columns of figures.
But what about the other 81 Or 38 million voters who have remained
silent. Either because they did not receive a ballot or because they
were not sufficiently interested in a straw vote which, after all is said
and done, would have no force IT effect on the federal constitution.
Many great states have returned only firm 5000 to $4,000 votes.
There are close to 100000 900 people eligible to vote in the United
States. The Digest sent ballots, that cost only a moment Of time and
no postage to mark and return, to 100000 900 of these voters. After FIVE
weeks 100000 have come back. So approximately two voters out Of
40 have expressed their choice between the two questions. Is there
anything startingly final and conclusive about that? The last time the
Digest sent out 100000 ballots something like 100000 of them came
back, II memory is not at fault. Perhaps that many will come back
this time but it looks doubtful now. This editor would like to see the
result of the whole 20 million. Even If a wet majority was shown it
would not change the constitution. That great instrument is not made
over to please the passing moods of human temperament. At Washing
any of the present 10 is We. but a dream of the minority.
