DES MONIES, Iowa, November A.
The Iowa Commission on Liquor Con-
troll has offered two recommendations
for the special session OF the State
Legislature. which is to meet Monday
The two plans are based on the Que
bee plan in Canada and the Bratt sys-
TEN in force in Sweden.
The first suggestion calls for the es-
tablishment OF complete State mo-
nopoly OF wholesale and retail sales,
the monopoly to be controlled by a
commission of five to be appointed by
the Governor with the approval Of the
Senate.
The alternative. or swedish, plan,
suggested in case the State monopoly is
held unconstitutional, is for establish
ment OF private corporations whose
sales shall be supervised by the State
and whose profits, beyond a certain
limit. shall revert to the State.
Public works projects have been
started in SO of the States SO counties
by October 26, according to Hans c.
Pfund, director of the Emergency Re-
employment Service in Iowa The men
engaged in this work are those whose
lack of employment has been verified
by the unemployment service.
The Governments wheat-reduction
program bore fruit in the form Of hard
cash in Monona County this last week
end with the receipt by farmers of 485
checks totaling S52.147.60.
The checks were in exchange for a
pledged reduction Of approximately Is
per cent of the wheat land in Monona
County in 1894 and 1885, approximately
1900 acres.
Monona County is the leading wheat
producing county in Iowa. its average
in the last five years being 46,583 acres.
It's f1ve-year average production for the
years 1928-32 is 5,210 bushels.
Fewer than 100 can be admitted to
the court room in the old Federal Build
ing in Sioux City where the trial is
going on, but interest in the case Is
great.

OREGON TO TACKLE
CONTROL OF LIQUOR
Legislature Will Be First to
Take Up Problem of
Enacting Law.

PORTLAND, Greg, November =
Oregon, before the VolSteadan era, was
one, if not the first, of the States OF
the Union to go bone dry both by
the adoption of bone dry amendment
to its constitution and by the enact
ment of a State law which made it un-
lawful even for a physician to prescribe
alcohol for rubbing purposes. Now the
State, by tWO-to-one vote, has turned
its back on that pronouncement, and
on November 20 next, when the Legis-
lature meets in special session at the
call Of the Governor, 1t will become the
"hot spot" of the Nation in an en-
deavor to set up a code of laws regu-
lating the sale and distribution of al
coholic beverages under some system
which will outlaw the saloon for the
future.
First to Tackle Problem.
And because it is to be the first State
which will tackle the problem of con-
borders, already it is commencing to
feel the stress of the battle to be fought
out in the 20 days of the legislative
session permitted under the State con-
stitution, battle which may prove to
be a precedent for other States in their
consideration of the same question.
Several months ago committee of
prominent citizens, selected from every
section of the State, was appointed by
the Governor and charged with the
duty of making study Of liquor con-
troll legislation preliminary. to the an
ticipated special session of the Assem-
bly,. and of presenting its findings to
the Governor for recommendation to
the Legislature when it met.
This committee, headed by DR.. Will
liam S. Kncx, an outstanding physician
of Portland has completed its study.
Its recommendations are, in brief, that
non-salaried commission of three
men, appointed without regard to po-
ntical Affiliations be chosen by the
Governor and given plenary authority
in the administration Of the liquor CODE

CONTROL GROUP
FAV0RS "SALE-0N-
PREMISES" IDEA
Opposition to Discretionary
Authority Based on Fear
of Abuse.
BY RUTHWELL DUNCAN.

CHICAGO. November 4.-1llinois Is
wrestling with the problem of future
LIQUOR control. A commission, named
by Gov. Horner, is holding daily sessions
in an effort to draft a program upon
which the Legislature at special session
can take action in time to anticipate
the repeal of the eighteenth amend
r1ent.
The commission seemed disposed at
first to follow the example OF New YORK
State and provide In its drafted bill for
a State liquor authority with discre-
tionary powers Strong opposition da,,I1 TO
Members of the commission have ex-
pressed the fear that grave abuses might
arise under any regulatory body that
had the right to make, modify or
rescind regulations governing the sale of
liquor. Further. the commission has
been advised that under the State. con-
stitution. such discretion could not be
lodged in an administrative body.
It is improbable, therefore, that what
constituted a short cut to legislation,
avoiding all the controversial questions
involved in the statutory provision of
specific regulations, will have to be
abandoned. Although there is danger
that the commission may be rushed by
pIcooulC u IAllC lIllO UUlllS oil uIlpCl .
feet job. and may find itself enmeshed
in disputation over some of the more
debatable issues involved in legislation
designed to satisfy both the vets and
those who are desirous of a true tenn
perance measure, many citizens feel
that the dangers of abuse seen in a dis
cretionary authority are real, and that
the commission will be wise to avoid
that method Of regulation.
On one point the commission has
reached agreement. 1t has gone on
record as opposed to conf1ning the sale
of post-prohibition liquors to original
packages. That means it will favor
some form OF sale for consumption on
the premises where liquor is purchased.
such sale remain to be developed.
There are those who believe that 1t
should be limited to consumption with
support the sale OF drinks over the bar
as in the old days; For the moment
speaking of the prospective places of
sale as dispensaries, avoiding the word
saloon; but it has been pointed out in
discussions that neither of the big

the national platforms, against return

MISSOURI SALES TAX
OF ! PER CENT URGED
Gov. Parks Making Fight for Plan
at Special Session of
Legislature.

Specia: Di patch to TIE Star
KANSAS CITY, Mo, November A.
Gov. Guy 3. Park Of Missouri is max
ing a desperate fight to force a general
sales tax of per cent through spe-
ciaf session of the State Legislature
called to consider relief for the un-
employed, a nquor-control law and In
creased State revenues.
Faced with bitter opposition in the
State Senate, the Governor has taken
his case to the people in several public
addresses, one of which was broadcast
by a Kansas City radio station
His plea for the tax is based on the
need for S4,OO0,O0O in the next IL
months for Missouri'S share in unem-
ployment relief. Unless this State acts
quickly Federal relief funds will be shut
off, Harry L. Hopkins, Federal relief
director, has notified officials. Hop
kins was in Kansas City Sunday to
meet with State officials, again press
ing his demand that the State con-
tribute more if any Federal money was
expected. Missouri so far has appro-
plldtSQ Uut @I0U,UUU 1OI Icllc1.
The special session is In its third
week and has accomplished, nothing to-
ward enactment of a sales tax law ex-
cept to hold a few committee hear
ings on the measure;
Not only Is the Governor fighting
hard for increased revenues to pour
into the relief channels, but he is also
carrying to the people his demand that
the Legislature pass laws enabling cities
of less than $4,000 population to issue
bonds for construction of municipality
owned utilities. Such legislation would
permit the municipalities to share in
the public works fund If the Legisla-
ture acts quickly enough.
