COUNTY AUDITS APPROVED
Frankin, Neb. A report of the
audit of accounts of county offices
hppn nnnrnvprt hv the rnnntv pom-Ln
missioners. The audit covered the re-
cords of County Clerk Harrington,
County Judge Long, County Superin-
tendent Humphreys and Clerk of the
District Court Spence. from Jan. 1,
1926, to Dec. 31, 1928. The records
were approved and recommendations
made in several cases tnat tne oni
cers file claims for fees due them
from the county.
The books of the late Clifford Gar
rett, sheriff, who was killed while
driving in the auto races here Sept.
23, showed a discrepancy of ?2,
413.35. This is alleged to have come
about thru a misunderstanding that
certain fees belonger to the office
instead of the county and were not
turned in for that reason.
This report shows the accounts of
all offices audited to be in good con-
dition. The only records not reported
upon are those of the county treas
urer, and this report is being with
held until additional investigation is
made into past records.

Hawes Says
Dry Law Con
fessed Failure
Missouri Senator Draws That Con
clusion from Effort to Make
Buyer a Violator.
Washington The effort to brand
liauor Durchasers criminals was de
nounced Thursday night by Senator
Harry Hawes as "a frank confession
that prohibition under the present
law has measurably failed:"
The Missouri democrat's vitriolic
address was in answer to one in de
fense of the proposed amendment last
week by Senator Sheppard, Texas, it3
sponsor, who wrote the prohibition
amendment. A wet, Hawes, attacked
the Volstead act and said because of
Its partial failure, "we are now ask-
ed to include many millions of our
people in a new criminal class, and
tuc puicudse ui uevtiuge tuut cuu-
tains more than one-half of 1 ner
cent of alcohol."
"This amendment would impede
law enforcement and promote law
lessness," averred the Missourian. "It
wouia give additional security to the
bootlegger, provide a new field for
the blackmailer, and create an en
larged 'gangland. "
He maintained that advocates of
the Sheppard amendment should ask
mat u De made a constitutional visitors in the (ity today to spend
amendment thru a referendum, and a few hours attending to some mat
predicted "strange results" in event ters of business and visiting with
such a step were taken. He said boot-
leggers would favor the amendment
"as they did in
Scotia election."
the recent Nova
"Nova Scotia is the last of the
big Canadian provinces to change
from 'dry' to 'wet'," the Senator con
tinued. "For the temperance act
there were 61.672 votes, and against
.. r(. . . . ,
it 66.024 For government control
however, there was the significant
vote of 89,757; against 41,180."
noting mat tne late aamuei uomp-
ers and William Green, former and
present leaders of the American Fed
eration of Labor, had asked modifica
tion of the Volstead act, Hawes em
phasized they derided the claim that
labor's prosperity was due to the
Volstead act, and asked: "If union
labor, which is nearly all concen-
trated in the big cities, which are
wet' in sentiment, has attracted pros-
,i perity, how about the impoverished
farmer in the 'dry' territory, who has
tne sympathy of the nation and for
whose assistance we have called
snecial session of concrpRs?"
In answer he said the Volstead act
did nnt arfvmnt fnr rnnnTnir rndi-I
tions. He added it had not prevent-
ed the increase in drunkenness and
"did increase the underworld by ad
ding to 'gangland' the bootlegger."

$6,500,000 Prison
Expansion Plan
Attorney-General Points to Need
for Boom Wants Pris
oners to Work
Washington A $6,500,000 con
struction program to care for federal
prisoners, swollen in number by nar
cotic and prohibition violators, wa3
proposed by William D. Mitchell,
United States Attorney-General, in a
radio address over the National
Broadcasting System.
"We need first a new federal peni
tentiary with a capacity of 1200 to
located in the north Atlantic states,"
he said. "Secerd, n new industrial
reformatory similar to Chillicothe to
serve the territory west of the Mis
Fissippi River, with a capacity of
100. Third, three federal jails or
houses of detention one in the north
central states, one on the Pacific
coast, and one in the central South.
"The Federal Government has
never provided jail3 of its own for
jail prisoners, but has rented accom
modations in state and county jails,
and it is not proposed at present to
go -beyond the construction of the
three jails mentioned.
"This construction program will
cost about $6,500,000, spread over
a .five-year period. Approved by the
Ludget, this program awaits only the
action of Congress."
Continuing, he said that another
vital improvement was to provide
employment for the prisoners. Oppo
sition to this, he added, was based
on the contention that the products
of convict labor would compete with
outside busines.
"This is a very selfish opposition,"
he said. "Products of federal prisons
are to be used only by the Federal
Government, and the quantity is too
mall to be an important factor in
competition with private enterprise.
"The federal prison industries
should be diversified so that compe
tition with private enterprise shall
not be concentrated on a few Indus
tries. Beyond that private industry
has no justification for opposition to
employment of federal prisoners. It
costs the taxpayer large sums to
house, clothe and feed federal pris
oners. Why should thousands of able
bodied men and women In federal
prisons not be required by their labor
to help support themselves?"
Another need of the prison admin
istration, he said, was a better system
of parole on which the department
now is working.
A congressional committee visted
the various federal prisons of the-
country last year and reported that
they were greatly overcrowded.
