LOCAL OPTION
DECLARED OUT

SACRAMENTO, Nov "a. UP)-
Encouraged by the offer of cooper
alton from peace officers in many
parts of the state, the board Of
equalization today completed pre-
parations to distribute liquor rules
and license applications to all coun-
ties.
More than go police chiefs, sher-
ifs and district attorneys joined
in unanimously voting to give the
board wholehearted cooperation in
enforcing the new regulations which
become effective December 5.
The primary object of the new
liquor act, as pointed out in a gen.
eral conference here, is to elimin-
ate saloons and speakeasies but
make liquor easily available, at low
price, for the home. Violations of
the state control laws will be pun
ishable as misdemeanorS. and may
be prosecuted by local officials.
There can be no local option, or
local regulation of the number OF
permits which may be issued, but
municipalities may regulate beha-
vior and hours of business in places
where liquor is to be sold, and may
tax them, provided such local con-
troll measures are reasonable and
not discriminatory.
Beer parlors willing to confine
themselves to serving 80 beer may
continue to operate under an on
sale beer license, even without SER
wing sandwiches or meals. II the
alcoholic content of beer is increased
then the beverage may be served
only with meals. And beer parlors
NAV not serve wine. or obtain off
sale licenses for any kind of Ii
quor.
Peace officers promised to act in
close cooperation with the board to
close up Joints" and weed out vio-
latorS of the new laws.

ALL QUIET IN
VALLEY FIELDS

No more trouble is expected in
the cantaloupe and lettuce fields,
according to information obtained
at the sheriffs office this morn
ing. No further calls for assistance
in patroling threatened areas were
received and it is the opinion OF
peace officers that the threatened
strike has been definitely averted.
Yesterday afternoon an attorney
made his appearance at the county
Jail to interview the four prisoners
who were arrested while picketing
fields near Calipatria on Wednes-
day. He gave his name as Wilmer
Breedon of San Diego. 1nforma-
ton received from the San Diego
sheriff's office was to the effect
that Breedon is an associate OF Leo
Gallagher who was active in the
defense of the Communists tried
on charges of criminal syndicalism
here n 1880.
In spite of yelled threats received
in communications from outside the
valley and the presence OF tie law
yer who visited the men still IN
the county jail, the sheriff said he
will continue to use all efforts pos
sible to prevent agitators from COM
ing into the valley to foment more
discord among the field workers.

U.P)-Miss Frieda w. Weltz, Titan
haired nurse, freed Of murder char
ges by a jury verdict of acquittal,

SWING TALKS
To BOARD On
CANAL PLANS

Phil D. Swing met with the irriga-
ton district board of directors yes
terday afternoon to discuss the pos
sibility of San Diego receiving water
and power from the All-Americar
canal. He stated at the opening OF
this discussion that he was not
representing any particular group
or proposed course Of action but
had come merely to tell the board
what San Diego thinks in the
matter.
Swing told the directors that
there was a committee of so Sar
Diego citizens who are figuring out
how they can get their city into
the All-American canal picture ano
he thinks that within 80 days this
committee will be ready to make
its report and recommendations tc
the city council that the next ster
in the proceedings be taken.
He stated further that he believes
it of Importance to the valley to get
San Diego into this canal picture
as the first step in the sale OF
power to be generated later.
San Diego finds itself in a posi-
ton where it must act on this
question Of water very soon and il
would be cheaper for that city tc
enter into the present canal setur
now, than wait possibly 80 or AZ
years when the water question
would be of more pressing import
ance and attempt to construct its
own independent system.
No resolution or other officia
act was passed at today's confer
ence which was merely for the pur-
pose of setting before the boarc
the opinions of committee members
in San Diego and his own sug-
geStions, having viewed the matter
from both angles. The board thank
ed Swing for the interest he has
shown in canal affairs and particu-
larly in this instance when he hao
come from San Diego to lay be-
fore them other possible markets
for water and power from the
canal.
He showed board members ar
autograph photograph of President
Roosevelt. presented to him by the
Chief Executive, remarking that il
was given to Republicn congress
man by a Democratic President.

CODE OFFERED
LIQUOR MEN
Continued On Page g.

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. U.P)-
The administration today presented
to the liquor industry code which
would put every transaction in the
distilled spirits business after re-
peal under strict federal control.
A federal alcohol control admin
istration would be set up with the
power to limit production of all
types of liquor and to control
prices wholesale, retail and even by
the drink.
Representatives of all the great
distilleries and blending plants, to-
gether with importers, wholesalers
and others interested in the liquor
trade assembled to hear DR.. lines
M. Doran and other governmental
experts tell why such code was
necessary. The hearing was called
by the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
miniStration.
DR.. Doran, one time chief of the
prohibition bureau and now COM
missioner of industrial alcohol, said
that IT,, initial demand for whisky
and other distilled spirits, when
their sale is legalized, will be keen.
At the same time, he claimed, there
will be several months during which
the industry will have trouble with
its distribution system and while
many individuals will attempt to
secure high profits"
If prices are too high, he said,
bootleggers will become active. and
if prices are too low consumption OF
hard liquor will be overstimulated.
The country'S distillers can now
produce 115.o0O,000 gallons of grain
spirits a year and are building
plants capable of distilling 40,0O0,000
gallons more, H. l.. Lourie, tariff
commission expert, testified.
A. S. Mcleod, treasury depart
ment economist, estimated that
with the present excise tax Of s1.l0
gallon Americans would drink
los 100000 gallons of liquor a year.
He said that if the tax were raised
to $1.50 the consumption would be
about 93000,0OO gallons. that If the
tax were placed at So, 35 100000 gall
Ions would be drunk, and that II
the tax were made SO, 69,000,000
gallons would be consumed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a The
federal government is running in
the red only about half as rapid
ly as it did year ago despite the
pouring of more than a half bill
lion dollars into recovery channels
since July.
This record, if continued, will
make considerably easier the ad-
mipistration's financial problems
over the next six months when it
will be required to meet 1888 ,624,-
100 in maturitieS with refunding
operations, and raise billions of dol
lars of additional revenue through
new borrowing to finance the re-
covery program.
The governments books show
that from the start of the current
fiscal year on July !, last, to No
vcmber 81, income taxes and re-
ceipts from other sources amounted
to $l,1O6, ,256,896, or nearly double
the income of $657,877043 in the
corresponding period of last year.
All expenses, including emergency
recovery costs, which are carried in
a separate budget, amounted to ST.
762,831,713 against $1,778,502,3 1906 in
the corresponding period of last
year.
This pairing of expenses, largely
through heavy economies in ordin-
ary operations, together with q
sharp increase in income largely
1>)m new taxes, including the beer
revenues, imposed last March left
the government only 656,564,817 "in
the red" against $1120,625, 1858 in

GOVERNMENT DEBT CROWS At
LESS SPEED THAN FORMERLY

the corresponding period of last
year.
Supports Own Bonds
The government from July | to
November 81 last, for every dollar
received spent about $1.30 and bor-
roWed the additional 80 cents from
the public. In the corresponding
period of last year, about So was
spent for every dollar received and
the 81 deficit made up by borrow
ing.
With the country'S banks already
absorbing nearly $l0000,000 of
government bonds, or nearly quar-
ter of their resources and with mon
etary uncertainties disturbing in
veStorS, the government itself has
undertaken support of its own bonds
so that their price can be maintain
ed and the credit left unimpaired.
Federal reserve central bank this
week actually reduced their govern
ment bond holdings by slightly less
than a million dollars after buy
ing nearly $600000,000 of the bonds
through the summer. Their holdings
now amount to $2,431 100000
A sweeping rise in the govern
ment's debt since the start of the
depression so far has had little eff
feet on the governments ability to
obtain new credit and the drastic
slaahes in ordinary Expenses by
the Roosevelt administration has
served to help credit.
On November 81, last, the gov
ernment debt amounted to $23 $685.
