SEEK TO
REPEAL STATE DRY
]; LAWS IN NOVEMBER
Measure Proposes Striking Out
Booze Restriction In
Oldtime Laws

II Petitions bearing 1900 signatures
and asking initiation Of q law repeal.
ing the state prohibition laws were
filed Monday with Secretary Of State
Robert Byrne.
The proposed repeal will 70 on the
Il November ballot II the petitions an
u held sufficient.
This Initiated measure has for It,
II purpose simply the repeal Of the old.
time state prohibition laws which FOL
4 practical purposes went into the dis.
card when the people by an over.
whelming vote repealed the prohibi.
tion cause Of the state constitution
@B. L. Bentson, one Of the committee
named by the petitioners said.
It Is . straight wet or dry issue. II
III Is adopted by the people the duty
will then rest with the legislature to
adopt reasonable law for the sale
and also the taxation Of hard liquor. y
Bentson said, "hard liquor Is being
sold broadcast, but 1t i neither taxed
, nor effectively regulated" Passage
OF the measure would "leave the path
clear for effective legislative action. "
Other members of the committee
are J. M. Hanley. Oscar g. Oberg, A.
G. Pagenkopf, Fred Peterson, Herman
Rabe, q. q. Radke, Joe Spies, and
g. P. Stone.
There lisa widespread difference
Of opinion as to what regulation should
BE- imposed on the sale Of liquor in
North Dakota and also as to the
schedule Of Liquor taxes" Bentson
said.
This Is shown by the action Of the
people on the municipal store law
adopted by the last legislature and
rejected by the people as q referred
measure. The people did not want
municipal authorities to 20 into the
liquor business.
1T Is shown by the defeat Of the
two liquor measures ct the June pri-
maries. One was . limited measure
providing for restricted sales. The
other was q wide open kit with q local
option tail.'
Bentson maintained the wet vote
on the two measures added to-
gether" was nearly three to one
against the straight dry vote, Just as
46 Of the So counties Of this state
geve . wet majority on the repeal Of
the state constitutional dry provision.
Hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars" will be furnished the state In
taxes by passage Of the repeal, he
asserted.
Intoxicating liquor value at mil
lions Of dollars now being sold
throughout the state Is the only form
Of personal property which now bears
no share Of the tax burden" he point
ed out.

o0O Dealers, called before q police inspec-
tor, who is looking into the racket, testified
that as group they have been paying GER
tain racketeering ring 5000 year for pro-
lection
Every tug that lands at the docks has to
pay a fee; every truck that enters the market
also has 20 pay.
And the dealers weren't especially anxious
to have the police try to drive the racketeers
out. Everything worked smoothly, they said
Paying the s50OO-a-year fee was a nuisance,
of course but it works; they did ge. pro-
lection.
Every so often some sneak thief would
steal q basket Of fish or something, but as
soon as the protective association" was noti-
fed the stolen goods would be returned.
Thus you get the first picture; racketeers
levying their toll in an efficient and business
like manner. staging a theft now and then,
and returning the loot Immediately after
ward, to demonstrate the dealers need of
their services. Nov listen to the other side
of it.
Last winter a patrolman who didn't be-
neve in racketeers was assigned TO duty at
the market. He cracked down on the gang
sters; he found one collecting tribute from
an aged dealer, and he beat the daynghts
out of him.
For two weeks the market was entirely
free of racketeers Then a Tammany con-
trolled police administration transferred the
cop out of there and the old order returned
in full swing.
Now Police Inspector Lewis J. Valentine
tells the dealers that they might just as well
save their $4,000 year. If they will refuse
to pay, he says, and will testify freely when
ever they are threatened, the police can break
up the racketeering ring completely.
THE racketeerS will run like yellow dogs
with their tails between their legs, if d good
cop cracks them on the jaw" he remarks
All this is deeply instructive. 1t shows
just how racket is worked and just how it
can be stopped. To work it, you need political
influence and a set of business men who
would pay tribute rather than stand up for
their rights. To stop it. you need only honest
cops and fearless business men.
The way to stamp out racketeering after
all, is simple. You lust stamp it out.

THE LABOR DEPARTMENT

7 TNDER Secretary Frances Perkins the
United States department of labor has
become more reliable, more vocal and more
responsive to the needs of the workers than
at any time since it's creation by Woodrow
Wilson twenty years ago. Miss Perkins first
annual report suggests a plan to widen its
scope of usefulness
The report recommends the creation of a
new division of labor standards and service
This divisions function would be ito study
specific and local problems and make recon-
merdations of industrial sanitation, health
and safety, security, wages, working hours,
housing. adult and vocational education COM
nunity and many other factors which bear
upon the lives of our workers"
On the well-being and happiness of its
100000 wage earners rests democratic
Americas survival. 1t is significant of the late
business psychology that ruled our minds that
the labor department is the youngest ano most
poorly financed Of the cabinet posts.
Agriculture, serving some 100000 farmers,
gets S104O00,OOO from this years budget.
Commerce, serving business, gets $3Oo00O coo.
The arn1y-navy budget is s578OOO 600 900.
Labor gets S1l 100000, and about s8OOOOOO of
this is for immigration, not properly a part
of a labor departments functions.
Miss Perkins eyes, as usual are lifted
toward the workers future needs She
urges greater participation by labor in the
conduct of industry. She wants unemployment
insurance with government participation
where the states desire it."
She wants shorter hours and higher wages
and the permanent abolition of child labor.
She wants a national system of boards for the
adjustment of labor disputes. She sees the
need for planning, stabilization and the use of
federal credit for emergencies.
She wants old-age pensions with federal
aid. IF needed"
Economic insecurity is one of the major
hazards of our life in the United States of
America" says this report, "a hazard for the
individual family, hazard for the community
which must maintain them ON charity or a
poverty level, hazard to the total industrial
institution because Of the drying up of pur-
chasing power"
Cramped rs it is from lack Of funds, the
labor department is Offering honest informa-
ton and courageous leadership to the workers.

A Woman's Viewpoint
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

WE can never go back to our
w brave charges Of Bunker
Hill or Bull Run any more than
we can go back to the OK cart for
transportation or to the candle
for illumination.
Men will continue to die for
their convictions, for when they
cease to do that life will be mean
ingless. Our battles for liberty,
justice and right must go on and
will, I hope, endure forever. But
we can not fight them with poison
gas and machine guns, with ar
mored ships or submarines. When
We do that there are no con-
ouerors. Every cause is lost in
the cataclysmic chaos that fol-
lows modern warfare.
So when we tell our boys to-
day that adventure and soldering
are synonymous we speak foul
and evil lie. He who longs for
larger freedoms will never find
them in a military society where
actions, ideas, thoughts. dreams
are crushed beneath a rigorous
code that seems subversive and
ignoble to any one believing that
thought must be free. We can
argue no longer that noble aims
are advanced by any war such as
the last one. All is lost if that
performance be repeated.

LOOK AT THE RECORD

XXTHEN the civilian conservation corps was
w created there was many a covert sneer
Today, the record is at hand to show what
this group of workers accomplished in its first
six months toward preserving the country's
most valuable natural resources-the forests.
Inhammable fire hazards were removed
from 12e,962 acres of forest lands.
About 10000 miles of truck trails have been
constructed.
over 5000 miles of telephone lines have
been placed.
Firebreaks have been built over 1917 miles.
Over 5000 miles of roadsides have been
cleared to prevent fires.
Between 1000 and 1000 lookout towers,
lookout houses and tool houses have been
constructed.
Tree and plant disease control operations
have covered 1675,911 acres. A campaign
against the serious white pine blister rust
which threatened 100000 acres of valuable
timber. has been included in these operations
Improvement of forest stands was ac-
complished on 205,159 acres. Trees we're
planted on 25,75O acres and an additional
SAILS acres will soon have planting COM
pleted
A total of 677S4 man-days of nursery
work was done.
Erosion control was effected on S88o34
acres and was part ally completed on another
151,555 acres. Many erosion control dams were
built.
Revegetation work was completed on 81 534
acres.
1t is impossible to estimate the value to
the United States in dollars and cents of this
work.
Leaving out entirely the fact that hun
dreds of thousands of jobless young men were
given paying employment by this project, it
has proved itself one of the most thoroughly
commendable phases of the new deal.

HOPES TO SEE M'NUTT
ELECTED PRESIDENT
Rv F. w Pratt.

BY E. w. Pratt.
A. G. Bradbury says in his letter
to The Times Jan. II, that he is a
good Democrat, but burned up, and
that Democrats are getting as
scarce as rabbits. I do not know
where he lives or where he finds so
much dissatisfaction in state man
agement. In my opinion, there has
been the greatest reorganization in
our state affairs that ever has been
accomplished.
Mr. McNutt, clean cut, educated
and well qualified, has brought re-
form in our taxing units and re-
duced the cost Of government ex-
penses a million dollars a month by
the proper management Of state
government. He has reduced taxes
on real estate almost one-half, thus
taking the burden from people less
able to pay.
I am not an Office holder, nor
have I ever asked for an Office. Yet
I have been voting the Democrat
ticket since Judge Hoadley ran for
Governor in Ohio, fifty years ego.
Indiana has been my voting place
for forty-fve years and the two out
standing Governors preceding Mr.
McNutt we're Democrats, Thomas r.
Marshall and Samuel Ralston.
They conducted the Office with in
tegrity, yet Mr.. McNutt towers head
