V LIFE TO YEARS ' 0LR5 TO LIfT DR. JOE J. STIBAL Telephone Ko. 3 Missouri Bars Dry Law Pol! Attorney General Eules It Illegal Wet Move Was Opposed by Both Parties. Kansas City, Mo. A proposal to repeal the prohibition enforcement laws of Missouri has no legal status and is not entitled to a place on the constitutional ballot to be submitted to voters at the election Nov. North T. Gentry, Attorney General of Missouri, has ruled. The repeal proposal, known as Proposition No. 4, has been spon sored by the wet interests of Mis souri under leadership of the state branch of the association against the prohibition amendment. Public sen timent, regardless of party lines, has: been so aroused against the proposal that its defeat by a heavy majority has been predicted. Now comes the formal ruling of Mr. Gentry that it fails to cfcme within any section of the state initi ative or referendum laws. It has no legal status as an initiative pro posal, he ruled, since it introduces neither new nor substitute legisla tion. Also, the ruling holds, the-petitions for submission of the propo sition were not filed within the speci fied time for referendum moves. The opinion of the Attorney-General is the proposition should not be sumitted to voters of the state. As the proposition already has been printed on the ballots in some of thf counties, however," it is held by Charles U. Becker, Secretary of State that an order from the state supreme court will be necessary to halt sub mission at the election. Dry leaders of Missouri have ex pressed the belief, it is immateria. whether the referendum be sub mitted, since they are assured of it; decisive defeat. It has been due to this confident attitude, it is explain ed, that no move was made earlier in the campaign to have the prop osition tested in the courts. The attorney-general's ruling was made on his own accctfht and without solicitation from those opposing the proposition, it is said here. Organization to work against the repeal proposition have been formed throughout the state. Both parties oppose it. JUDGE SHEPHESD RESERVES DECISION IN INSURANCE CASE Lincoln, Oct. 2.

Program Mapped Out for Future Farm Relief Acts Group Reorganized for Fight at Next Congress; Hope to Unite West and South. Des Moines, la., Oct. 21. A re organized and strengthened force of farm relief advocates, representing a greater diversity of interests than the group that battled unsuccessfully for a farm aid bill last winter, will descend upon congress in December under a program mapped out at the conference of the grain belt federa tion of farm organizations, which closed here Wednesday-. Approxi mately two score farm organizations, with memberships aggregating well over 1,000,000, have enlisted in the movement and subscribed to a de finite program embracing price stab- keting agency, readjustment of freight rates, waterway development and extension of the producers' con tract system of controlling markets. One other conference is scheduled before the convening of the short term of congress in December, and this meeting is counted upon to com plete the alliance of producers of. major crops by lining tne cotton growers, the livestock and dairy in terests and the commercial organ izations that have indorsed the pro gam. The future conference has been called for November 16 and 17, to be held at St. Louis. The grain bel. men have invited all southern states to send representatives, expressing a desire to work with the south in i obtaining legislation that would prevent a recurrence of tee recent cotton price slump. The American cotton growers' ex change is the southern organization through which the corn growers hope to unite forces in some of the cotton belt, while in other states various farm bodies and the governors have been asked to participate in the St. Louis conference. Representatives of the committee of 22, one of the groups that aided in the farm fight at Washington last winter, also will attend the St. Louis meeting and will function again this winter in co-operation with the corn belt committee. Another phase of the farm fight is the renewed activity of Governor John Hammill of Iowa, who is pre paring a letter to all governors of the midwest and south, reviewing the farm situation in detail and inviting their aid either in future conference or in influencing their -congressmen on behalf of the midwest relief plan. Frank Mttrphy of the American council of agriculture and William Hirth. chairman of the grain belt federation, again will head the legis lative delegation which is to be fi nanced by a 5-cent per capita levy against the federation's membership. Mr. Hirth and other leaders of the grain belt federation view the prospects of this winter as more promising. Opposition to the pro gram is at a minimum in the mid west and indications are that pres ent conditions in the south will strengthen the movement, he de clares. The fact that the St. Louis meeting will follow the November elections will permit the leaders to more accurately survey the field in a political way and to concentrate upon the lukewarm states before congress meets. The conference called forth some frank statements on the visible farm relief opposition in the east and some that is less tangible in the west. The promptness with which the administration interested itself in the cotton growers predicament was in terpreted by Mr. Hirth and some oth er leaders as an attempt to drive a wedge between the cotton and grain interests. A resolution placing responsibil ity for the failure of the farm meas ures in the last congress upon the ad ministration was placed before the conference but was withdrawn in order that the St. Louis meeting would not be bound by any action that might interfere with the con templated new alliance. Comment on the report that mid west elevator men had told Presi dent Coolidge they could not favor the McNary-Haughen measure in cluded a statement of elevator men in general was not correctly represent ed to the president. The resolutions adopted declared the law of supply and demand had been supplanted by a law made price fixing and price maintained economic system." that makes for agricultural inequality. The resolutions demand "militant support of our legislators in our struggle for equal rights' and invite business, labor and industrial groups to join the movement for rem edial legislation. While the new legislative fight will be based upon the McNary-Haugen principle, leaders of the movement indicated they would stand ready to compromise on details of relief legis lation so long as the objective was not sacrificed.
