'CUT-PRICE' SELLING
OF AUTOS TO BE LESS
Decrease Is Forecast as Producers
and Distributors Prepare
for New Models.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
DETROIT, September There
will be comparatively little "cut price"
selling in the automobile industry this
year as the assembly lines and the
dealers floors are made ready for new
models, if present indications correctly
forecast plans Of the producer and
distributor
Some 1884 models, of course, will be
offered at reduced prices to clear the
decks for newer types, but the volume
Of this forced" selling should be
smaller this year than for several
years past.
To get the sales floors clear of pass
ing models as later types are about to
be introduced long has been one of
the problems of the industry each
year. Despite the most carefully
planned production programs, too, an
absolutely perfect balance between
output and consumption has not been
possible. As long ago as 1880 the in
dustry adopted the policy of CON
trolled production" which meant that
volume of output was to be guided
strictly by the actual demand in sight.
There has been a noticeable falling
off in retail demand during the last
week, and production volume will
show a marked decline during the
next fortnight 1t is expected that
large part Of the industry will shut
down all of Labor day week Such a
suspension would cut sharply into
whatever new-car stocks are currently
on hand, since production has been
running above the So, 2,000-unit-a-week
mark
Precise plans of the different pro-
ducers concerning next years types
continue to be a matter of conjecture
as far as the public is concerned
/ None wants to lead the way until
some definite idea has been obtained
regarding the plans of his competitor
/ This disposition, as well as the size
! of the sustained retail demand for
current models. is factor in the de-
lay in swinging over to new-model
output.

RACE TO Be CLEAN
IN NORTH DAKOTA
Political Rivals Promise to

BISMARCK, N. OAK, September
1.-The four horsemen of North Da-
kota politics-bitterness, hate, mud
singing and rancor-are riding into
a fadeout if opposing political leaders
keep their promises for clean cam
paign" this Fall.
The announcement comes from
both Republican and Democratic
camps after political turmoil unusual
in State history.
Mrs. Lydia LANCER, who replaced
her husband as the Republican NOM
inee for Governor, promises to dis
cuss only 1.-The issues" in her cam
paign.
From Thomas H. Noodle, Demo-
cratic nominee, comes word that hate
and bitterness have no place at a
time when grave problems confront
the State.
These statements are in contrast
to the bitterness Of the June primary
election, when ousted Gov. William
LANCER led his ticket to victory two
days before he was sentenced to 18
months Imprisonment for conspiracy
to solicit political contributions from
Federal workers.
Clean as the Fall campaign may
be, there is little probability that 1t
will lack color and spirit. LANCER,
awaiting a decision of the Federal
Circuit Court of Appeals. plans to
take the stump in his wife's behalf
On the other hand, United States
Senator Gerald P Nye, bitter op-
ponent of LANCER, has announced his
intention to oppose Mrs. Langer's
candidacy and to support Noodle.
Mrs. Langer'S announcement that
she intends to conduct "clean cam
paign" brought expressions of praise
from Noodle.
MRS. LANCER is a charming lady
whose cultural New York background
naturally restrains her from STOPPING
to petty politics." he said. Her an
nouncement will command the utmost
respect from North Dakota fed up
with the kerosene-circuit type of po-
litical vaudeville it has been spectacu-
larly treated to the last few years"

"but should like to see America
start trying it."
AS a case in point, he cites the
experiments of Henry C. Sherman,
professor of chemistry at Columbia
University, who has carried on food
experiments with rats through many
rat generations.
The rats were originally descended
from the same ancestors, as alike as
possible. One group has been fed
from the beginning on one-sixth dried
whole milk, five-Sixths ground whole
wheat, salt and distilled water. The
other group has had one third dried
milk, two-thirds ground wheat, salt
and water. Expanded to human
size" the amount of milk given the
group l rats is roughly equivalent
to a pint day; to the second a
quart day.
The rats in group l have always
been, and still are, thriving and
healthy. There can be no question,
then. but that their diet is adequate.
THE rats in group have always
been and still are more thriving and
healthy. In this group infant NOR
tality is reduced, length of life is in
creased, maturity comes at an earlier
age. Senility is held off to a later
age, resistance to infection is superior,
the rate of growth is accelerated and
bodies are larger"

Ohio Liquor Sales
ShOlU Net Profit
Totaling s3l7,S7l
Judging From Types of
Permits Issued Taste
Runs to Beer.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, September l.
Ohio'S Department of Liquor Control,
after seven months of operation, shows
a gross income of $3,232.531 and net
profit of $317,87l.
The current balance sheet OF the
State monopoly lists total assets at
$5,171,577. 1t has 121 branches, 49,
828 retail outlets and 761 persons on
its pay roll, which totals $347, PIT.
Its credit is Al.
Not a little proud of the achieve
ment is Col John Hughes, the direc-
tor, who points out that the depart
ment practically started from
scratch" and pulled itself up by its
own bootstraps."
Net Profits S317,871.
When the State Legislature passed
the liquor control act December %,
1888, 100000 was appropriated to get
the department started. The first pur-
chases of liquor stocks for the State
liquor stores, which began to operate
April l, were made on credit.
To date the State has received In
return $2,035, 300 in permit fees, $453,-
804 in gallonage taxes, and when the
department finally is on a cash basis
the State also will receive the net
profits, which so far are $317,871.
When the department will be on o
cash basis, however, is a question.
A sizeable portion of Ohios 6,0O0,-
900 population is being served through
hn faf rfr, Il
holders of permits to sell liquor in
one form or another.
Taste Runs Mainly to Beer.
The Ohioan's taste seems to run
mainly to beer, judging by permits
issued. Thirteen thousand of the per-
mits are to sell 80 beer only, and an
other 5000 are to sell high-powered
beer and wine. There are 2,570 for
the sale of hard liquor by the glass,
$40 are club permits and an even
hundred are night club licenses. An
other 1913 permits have been issued
to drug stores to sell by prescription.
But the department, although
granted a monopoly, has had compe-
tition from the bootlegger.
The department also maintains its
own enforcement agency under the
hard-boiled leadership of E. G.
Mathews, former director of prohibi-
tion enforcement In Ohio. The de-
partment's 80 inspectors have
knocked off" SIS violators of the
liquor control act since April /. These
555 paid fines in Municipal Courts
over the State. Arrests totaled S28
and investigations 1,189. A total Of

''LIBERAL DIET" WOULD CREATE
FOOD SHORTAGE, SAYS EXPERT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September If
America could afford liberal diet,
believes Cove Hambidge, we should
have shortage of food, not surplus.
Hambidge, author of Time to Live"
and Your Meals and Your Money"
the latter just published, has been
doing food research with the help of
Government economists at Washing
ton.
According to the figures quoted by
Hambidge from the Governments re-
search, the Nation when on a liberal
diet would consume the products of
more than 335,000,000 acres, as
against the actual acreage for 1888,
which was, he says, something over
294 100000. The largest increase pro-
jected among the basic foods under
Mr.. Hambidge's liberal diet plan
would be one of rs per cent in dairy
cattle; the largest in any food would
be one of 204 per cent in garden
truck.
Apparently, according to Hambidge
and the Government, the country is
richest in hogs-he suggests only
% per cent increase for them.
This plan represents merely very
good nutrition for average men and
women" says Hambidge.
For a moderately active man the
diet would entail an expenditure of
81 cents daily or $185 yearly, Ham
bidge estimates. The same diet, for
family including moderately ac-
tive father and mother, an active boy
of 13 and girl of 10 would be $667
year.

BALTIMORE SEES
LOTTERY FIGHT
FOR LEGISLATURE
Charity Sweepstakes Meas
ure Being Advanced Again
as Emergency Relief Need.
BY J. c. DEPONAI.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, September 1.-The
fight for the enactment of bill au-
thorizing a State sweepstakes will be
renewed at the January session of the
State Legislature, according to advo-
Gates here, including E. Lester Muller.
president of the City Council one of
the original hackers of the plan.
The proceeds of the sweepstakes,
which Mr. Muller estimates would
amount to some S10,000,000 would be
devoted to providing emergency re-
lief funds.
A bill authorizing the charity
sweepstakes was presented at the 1888
died in committee.
Bond Issue Not Solution.
As Mr.. Muller reviews the situation,
it will be impracticable to finance
emergency relief needs indefinitely by
bond issues. Moreover, he foresees
the time when the Federal Govern
ment will withdraw its aid. The ques-
ton will then be as to how these
emergency funds are to be raised.
That question is now being con-
sidered and three methods are under
consideration. One is the sales tax,
another is a pay roll tax and the third
is the State sweepstakes.
According to the Muller plan, the
laws governing racing in this State
would be amended SO as to provide for
the holding of a State sweepstakes
whenever the Governor should de-
clare that there is an emergency.
BY such an amendment Mr.. Muller
is persuaded that the constitutional
provisions prohibiting a State lottery
would be sideStepped, and that there
would be no legal complications.
No Opinion from Ritchie.
The council President said that he
had submitted the proposal to Gov.
Ritchie some time ago, but that no
action has yet been forthcoming from
the executive.
According to the bill introduced at
the last legislative session, it is pro-
vided that:
During any period Of emergency
when it is necessary to use public
funds for the support and the main
| tenance of citizens of the State Of
/ Maryland, and the Governor, by
| proclamation, shall declare that such

KANSAS CITY, September l.
Politics is a veritable bucking bronco
in the Southwest these days.
Old hands in State government
have been unsaddled. Others are
holding to the saddle horn for their
political lives. Democrats and Re-
publicans alike have found the going
rough.
The James E. Fergusons are going
out in Texas. Alfalfa Bill Murray
is on his way out in Oklahoma. A
Republican United States Senator is
in danger of defeat in Missouri. A
Republican Governor has a fight on
his hands in Kansas.
A World War sailor, a man who
made and lost a fortune in oil, a
County Court judge and a Linotype
operator have thrown leg over the
wild-eyed "bronc," firm in the belief
they can tame him.
Sailor Slated for Governorship.
The sailor, James V. Alfred, 35, is
slated to be the next Governor Of
Texas. Referred to as a hoy" by
the Fergusons, he defeated the Fer
guson-supported Tom F. Hunter for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor, which always has been tanta-
mount to election. He will succeed
Mrs. Miriam A. Ma" Ferguson,
wife of the man who was impeached
and removed from the Office in 1917.
The one-time oil magnate, Ernest
w. Marland, who went to Congress
after he lost his fortune, will replace
his sworn political foe, Alfalfa Bill
Murray, as Governor of Oklahoma if
that State keeps up its traditional
Democratic ways. In recent race
for the Democratic nomination Mar
land finished SO far in front of Tom
Anglin, Murray's candidate, that
Anglin withdrew from possible run
of contest.
Campaign More Spirited.

S. Truman, will seek in November to

spirited. Patterson was unopposed
in the Republican column.

mayor of Topeka, Kans., and now

Office at the State capitol. Blocking
the path is Republican Gov. Alf M.
Landon, who bucked the storm Of a
million dollar bogus bond scandal
and won denomination on the Re-
publican ticket. The burden Of proof
in Kansas appears altogether up to

ARIZONA BATTLE
ON JAPANESE WAS
BEGUN IN 1915
Expansion Has Varied in
Proportion to Small
Fruit Business.
By the Assoclated PICS.

BY the Associated Press.
PHOENIX, Ariz., September l.
The tense racial feeling in the Salt
River Valley, involving threats of
white farmers to initiate a might
riding" campaign against alien truck
and cotton farmers, began with the
Winter vegetable season of 1915,
farmers recalled today.
The occupation of ground by jap
anese gradually spread and since has
increased and diminished in direct
proportion to the volume of vege-
table, melon and small-fruit business.
Japanese first were imported
into Arizona by out-of-State corpo-
rations and shipping companies to
produce truck crops on lands leased
from the corporations or leased di-
rectly to the Japanese themselves.
Opposed Japanese Is Years.
The situation became a serious
point of contention when the truck
farming business was profitable, as
at present, and receded when busi-
ness was poor.
The Salt River Valley farmers
have opposed the Japanese for Is
years, most of the time maintaining
a private war chest" to finance at
tempts to put through legislation
limiting japanese activities.
The last Legislature put teeth"
in the alien land law, which is pat
termed after the California statute,
by placing the burden of proof on
the alien to establish his right to
hold land, rather than on the gov
ernment. Aliens are denied the
right to own or lease land. Chill
dren of alien parents born in the
United States are not included.
Hindu Problem Arose in II.
In 1917 the Hindu problem came
to the fore, when the cotton industry
created demand for cheaper labor.
1t never reached the magnitude of
the Japanese problem, however, as
the Hindus confined themselves
largely to cotton production, while
the Japanese engaged in truck farm
ing.
Most of the Japanese in Arizona,
estimated unofficially at 1000 persons,
are concentrated in the Salt River
Valley. Yuma Valley, just across the
line from California, where the ag-
riculture is of a similar type and
method to the Salt River Valley, has
no Japanese problem. Farmers there
said this was due to "crystalization
of public opinion" As fast as the
Japanese have sought to gain con-
troll of land in Yuma Valley they
have been warned to move on" and
have complied.
Farmers Compromised.
Farmers of the Salt River Valley
charged the law was sufficient to
solve the problem if it vas enforced,
and declared they were forced to ini-
tiate their threats, later withdrawn,
since the county attorney during the
past week had been filing complaints.
They compromised and expressed
a willingness to let the law take its
course. Gov. B. B. Moeur also de-
clared he believed the situation could
be adjusted without trouble.
Wentworth Gurney, Los Angeles
British consul, conferred Friday with
Gov. Moeur concerning the case of
M Rahmatula, Hindu, charged in
Precinct Justice Court with culti-
waiting a cotton patch in violation of
the Arizona State law.
Il feel there is an equitable way of
adjusting this situation without
trouble" Gov. Moeur informed Cur
ney.
