local American Legion post, is arranging
for his second boxing show to be staged

boys from the conservation camps.
Seven or eight bouts will be offered,
each to go three rounds of two minutes
each. The final lineup of fighters
is not yet arranged but Promoter
Lee announces that he will have every
thing set in the next few days
Lee plans to rematch jimmy Harmon
and Hal Thiesen in one Of the featured
spots of the show. These two boys put
on a fine battle in the opening show
here last october, Thiesen getting the
decision by slim margin. It is also
planned to have Patsy Jerich again
appear on the card if a suitable OPP
ponent can be found for him. A local
light-heavyweight is being matched to
take on one of the camp boys.

On This
Occasion
Just Q few thoughts BY the Editor
on things Material and Immater1al.

A statistical sharp has figured
that you are in debt $4,000.
So is your wife. So is each of
your children and all other
relatives. So is every one else
in the country. Some of this
debt you know about and are
individually responsible for as
a personal obligation. The
larger part, however, was con-
tracted for you. You hardly
realize you owe it as you are
not even dunned for it and are
not paying interest on the same
directly. This latter is the
public debt which now amounts
to more than $200,00O,000,00O.
The war started it. Millions
are being paid for interest and
billions will be required to re-
tire the public bonds we gave
our debtors in exchange for
their money.

Bad Weather is No
Excuse for Mishaps.

Pleas Of automobile drivers that
"the weather was bad couldn't
see" are no excuse for automobile
accidents in bad weather and re-
ceive an unsympathetic hearing
from police officers and courts,
says the National Safety Council.
Good drivers consider the
weather, the time, and other con-
ditions and drive accordingly"
the council declared. "A driver
who says he couldn't see because
of the rain or snow is highly at
fault. He talks as though he did
not discover it was raining or
showing until the accident oc-
Cured. He should have driven
more carefully.
Thousands of deaths and in
juries are blamed on the con-
dition of the weather or the con-
dition of the car. Usually neither
is responsible; it is the driver, the
nut that holds the steering wheel
who causes most of the accidents
in good weather and In bad
weather.

GOVERNOR CALLS SPECIAL
SESSION OF LEGISLATU
Legislature Called Meet December to Take Up Relief
Measures and Liquor Control Lesislaton Divergent Views
Promise Stormy Session.

ministers of several parts Of the state
have lent their support to the plan
which is:
"A state owned and controlled mon
oply of the sale of strong liquor.
"Sale of strong liquor only in state
owned dispensaries.
"Sale by the bottle, with no con-
sumption of liquor in the dispensaries.
sale of light liquor, such as 30 beer
by private vendors as at present. No
mention is made of wine0
"Sale of liquor at low price, in order
to eliminate the bootlegger by under
selling him.
Local option as to location of dis
pensaries.
Education as to the effect of alcohol.
"a system of permits to prevent sales
in wholesale quantities"
The above plan has been submitted
to the Farmer-Labor organizations of
the state and acted on favorably at the
meetings called to discuss the matter
The Ely Club met Friday evening at
the Community Center and adopted
resolutions to that effect. David
Bourgin presided. Other business was
also transacted at the meeting. Ac-
companying President Bourgin from
Virginia for the meeting were Joseph
Keller, Nate Keller and Joseph Bourgin.
It is already apparent that the sub
ject will have tough shedding when the
legislature meets. The combined state
! and local control adopted by the
special committee has been attacked
from various angles. Proposals to be
submitted to the legislature so far an
nounced, include the following:
The majority plan of the governors
committee, which would license drug
stores to sell liquor in packages and
permit liquor to be served in hotels,
restaurants and clubs, with low licenses
and taxes to be divided between state
and local governments, all under a
single state commissioner; county OPP
ton granted as to ION sale" licenses.
The plan of the dry minority, favor
ing retention of the state prohibition
law with abatement features added.
A state monopoly plan offered by the
farmer-labor educational bureau, with
package sales only, from state stores, at
low prices, subject to local option, and
with system of buyers permits.
A modification of the farmer-labor
plan, eliminating all profits so as to
curb bootlegging, sponsored by the
social relations committee of the Con-
gregational church of Minnesota.
The Regain democratic plan, for pure
ly local control of licensed sales and
local option.

The writer had the pleasure
while in Duluth last week to
visit with Charley King, who
for thirty-three years served
the government faithfully and
efficiently as clerk in the U. S.
Land Office. Charley stepped
out of the Duluth Tribune office
when it was located where the
500 depot now stands into the
land office and held his post
through a succession of regis
ters and receivers from the time
of Monroe Nichols up to the
time the office was abolished
and the records were moved to
Cass Lake. He served all
through the troublous times
when presumption, homestead,
timber and stone entries and
contests covered the northern
end of the state like a blanket.
He now makes his home in St.
Paul and we in company with a
host of friends were pleased to
see him. With Charley was
that irrepressible Bob" Pat
terson who served as his boss
in the land office at one time.

hunting companion, Lloyd Newman,
also of Saltwater, and shot through the
hip. The shooting took place at about

brought to local hospital where his
injuries were dressed. He left the fol-
lowing morning for his home.
The two men had been hunting and
were walking parallel through the
woods some distance apart. When
Newman noticed the white socks OF his
companion, he thought it was a deer
and fired. Newman was a brother-in-

All the codes submitted will
be acted on by the first of the
year is the expectation of the
authorities at Washington.
That will mean that the N. R.
A. will have completed the
first great task. One of the
most difficult of the codes, that
of the retail trade, has as yet
not been acted on but it is ex-
pected to be completed in a
short time. One of the features
of this code will be to eliminate
selling at less than inventory
cost, a practice that has been
all too prevalent among the
larger stores who advertised
leaders" at less than cost,
trusting to luck to make up
the loss on other goods upon
which prices have been
"kited." The stores in very
small towns will be immune to
code provisions insofar as they
relate to clerks and opening
and closing hours pertaining to
the larger establishments.
A strange part of the NRA
history so far is the fact that
all the major industries have
complied with code provisions
and are working under them.
Opposition has developed in
the smaller businesses who be-
lieved that all they had to do
was to sign up and stick some
Blue Eagles in the windows.
The major industries have
found it of advantage to COM
ply with their codes but the

|. FARMER GROUP

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 81. U.Pl-
Procrastination not only is the
thief of time, but of farms as we'll,
Arizona ranchers thundered today
as they gathered throughout the
state and belabored the legislature
for its alleged dilatory tactics in
enacting measures for their relief.
Except for the fact that invest
ment companies have shown leni-
ency, Sc per cent of Arizona's farm
ers could be ousted from their
lands, Sam S. Wallace, president
of the state farm bureau, told the
United Press.
1.-The situation is serious and
something has to be done to pre-
vent an appalling experience, ?"
Wallace said.
Last week a group of farmers
invaded the offices of Governor
B. B. Moeur, fiery Tempe physi-
clan, to demand immediate action
of the legislature in granting a
moratorium on mortgages.
At that moment, the lower house
was passing bill declaring two
year moratorium.
But Representative James E.
Babbitt sought reconsideration OF
the measure on the claim it post
poned sale of the defunct Arizona
bank assets, which would have
brought so per cent dividend to
depoSitorS.
More than a hundred farmers
were gathered in the gallery yester-
day when Babbitt and Representa-
tive L. S. Williams admitted they
had made a mistake and voted
for the farmers"
The farmers booed and hooted,
and after. this brief demonstration
dispersed.
But repercussions were felt
throughout the state last night
and today as the farmers, hard
hit because of the low price of
cotton, gathered to denounce the
legislature for its "procrastination." J"
Meanwhile, an open hearing on
the mortgage moratorium bill is
scheduled for Wednesday.

An eight point reconstruction pro-

was before the 72nd congress today
as it attempted in its closing days
to rush through essential legisla-

With less than two weeks Of his

In it he warned the legislators,
who were considering direct unem-

that their efforts were needed to
avoid grave dangers" He sketched
the steps which he considered nee

REPEAL RESTS
W|THLSTATES
State Department Notifies 48
Governors Of Action Taken
By Congress.
BY WILLIAM F. KERRY
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. - Ma
tional prohibition today awaited
the verdict of the nations voters.
The machinery of the federal
government was speeded up to
refer to the 48 states of the Union
the Blaine resolution Tor outright
repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment. 1t was fresh from the house,
which yesterday adopted the meas
ure by a vote of 289 to 121.
Once copies of the resolution
have been sent to the governors
of the states, the burden of offer
ing the voters a chance to make
known their will on the long-de-
bated question will rest with the
state legislatures.
Before the decision is finally
known, three-fourths of the states,
or SO in all, must, by popularity
elected convention, ratify the
amendment, or conventions in 13
of the states refuse to ratify it..
Only in the former case will out
right repeal be accomplished. In
event of the latter development
the eighteenth amendment will re-
main in the statute books.
In an effort to act as speedily
as possible, the state department
worked far into the night prepar-
ing the formal notifications which
must be sent out telling the states
of the action of the house and
senate.
1t was anticipated that early to-
day 48 envelopes carrying sealed
and beribboned copies of the Blaine
amendment would be in the mails.
When they have been delivered to
the respective governors the fed
eral government will have done all
in it's power to afford the nation
a chance to act
Reports from scattered parts of
the country and survey of the
situation ahead, however, indicated
that, despite congressional enthu-
siasm, the fight is far from de-
cided. Antiprohibitionist leaders,
while hopeful, settled down to a
long, bitter fight. They anticipate
a tense struggle.
Essentially, two problems con-
front the jubilant wet forces. They
must persuade legislatures to call
conventions, and they must argue
those conventions into accepting
repeal.

COUNTY AUDITORS, AND TAX
COLLECTORS CONVENE HERE
Officials From All Parts Of State Gather
Here For Discussion Of Pending Legisla-
ton And To Make Recommendations.

Confronted by grave problems
of finance and legislation which
must eventually be met by Cali
fornia, county auditors and tax
collectors of the state met this
morning at the Barbara Worth
hotel in the opening session of
their annual convention, which
will be in session February 81 to
"a, inclusive.
Each group is to hold two ses-
sions daily, at which time they
will go over the many bills to be
presented to the legislature as they
affect their offices and the states
finances. After due consideration
they will make their recommenda-
tions, and as these recommenda-
tions bear considerable weight, the
action taken by this convention is
viewed with interest throughout
the state, particularly in this pc
riod of adjustment, delegat s
stated.
This morning the joint cnovention
held its meeting in the blue room
of the hotel, Fred H. Johnson,
county auditor of San Joaquin
county and president of the joint
association, presiding.
Addresses of welcome to the del
egates and visitors were made by
William j. Best, chairman of the
county board of supervisors; John
