In basic principle the Bratt system insists upon: 1. Disinterested management and control of private profit. 2. Revenue to the state. 3.

Distinction between liquor sold for home consumption and In restaurants. 4. Emphasis on the individual consumer. In its daily operation the system as now developed provides for (a) sale of liquor at special stores and only to persons possessing the "passbook" identification, (b) complete information for the state regarding 1 rs of passbooks, including drinking habits, occupation, size of family if married, Income, general qualifications as a citizen, and so on, (c) sale of strong liquor at restaurants in restricted quantities and only when food is served at the same time, and (d) regulation of amount of liquor sold to individual according to age, sex, and so on. Foundations of modern Swedish alcohol legislation go back to 1885 when special taxation put a stop to private manufacture of brannvin (potato spirit) and modern liquor companies were established.

In 1909 the prohibitionist movement reached the height of its power. In a voluntary plebiscite more than 1,800,000 men and women over 18 years pronounced for prohibition and only about 20,000 against. In 1919 the Bratt system was placed in effect. It divides Sweden into districts, each with a retailing company, which is also the center of registration. Each company keeps an alphabetically arranged central register containing data regarding all persons with whom the company has dealings, a sales register containing names of approved customers and a register of all purchases made, according to date.

If single, the individual can be entitled to as much as three liters (about three quarts) of spirituous liquor a month. Married, with a family, he can be entitled to as high as four liters a month. Young men, getting their first passbook, are usually granted two liters a month. Young working women, as a rule, get only one liter every three months. Restaurants, which are permitted only a definite margin of sales profit, serve spirits and heavy wine only with meals.

Retailing companies employ private capital, but all revenue over 5 per cent of the actual cash subscribed by the shareholders is payable to the state. Wholesale companies, of which there are two in Sweden, are likewise restricted to a certain profit and are subject to control by the state. "It can be claimed, declares Director John Bergvall, director of the Bratt system In Stockholm, 'that th alcoholic legislation now In force In Sweden has been responsible for the decrease in chronic alcoholism and drunkenness in general." Norway Has Local Option OSLO, October 18. JP) Norway gave up prohibition after a decade's trial. The system now in force includes local option whereby each city, town and village determines whether It shall be wet or dry and a government monopoly in the trade with wine and spirits.

The government monopoly maintains sales organizations in the largest cities. Customers are allowed to buy over the counter any amount of wine or liquor, but none is served for I BY POOR PA BV CLAUDE ALLAN "Tom rheumatism bothen-d him when be was livin' with his first wife, but his lively recood wife wonwi him so much he dont notice lit tie thing like rheumatism."

(JP) Governor Tom Berry yesterday telegraphed Harold L. Ickes. secretary of the interior, urging that South Dakota public works projects be approved quickly so, that work can be started before cold weather. The governor's message declared that "no South Dakota direct public works applications have been approved by your offices," and asked for information on status of six specific projects. South Dakota has but 30 days left before freezing and it is imperative that as many men possible be put to work at once," tie telegram said.

"Believe it advisable to give northern states with short construction season right-of-way." Secretary Ickes, who is federal public works administrator, was asked to wire when reports can be expected on the following projects Chamberlain water filtration plant. $30,000, submitted September 21.

Spearfish later submitted a requisition for additional funds, and It Is the revised application which now awaits action by the public works administration. Walter Conway, South Dakota attorney general and Industrial commissioner, was in Deadwood this morning conducting a hearing in the matter of Robert Bell versus Horace Clark, of Lead.

Wilson Assails Roosevelt In Temperance Talk VERMILLION, Oct. 18. Breaking away from his set speech concerning plans of the church to combat the liquor traffic after repeal of the 18th amendment, Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the Methodist and public morals, Monday night delivered a seating denouncement of the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, paid his respects to those who fail to' express themselves at the polls, and declared that in the 33 states which have voted on repeal "the question has gone by default," at a temperance rally of the Dakota conference of the Methodist church, in session here since last Thursday.

Dr. Wilson contended that in the states which have gone wet not more than a third of the dry vote was registered and In many states not more than one-sixth of the dry voters expressed themselves. Calling men who fail to vote "infernal idiots" and "moral imbeciles," and women "hypocrites," the speaker said he loves those who either disagree or agree with him, but hates "nothings." "I have debated this temperance question in 37 cities with Clarence Darrow," 'he said. "We can agree on nothing. And yet I suppose that Clarence Darrow, now that my father is dead, is my dearest friend.

I hope that God fixes Clarence Darrow up so that he can get to heaven for I want to live the first ten million years next to him in Dr. Wilson predicted dire days for automobilists when repeal is effected, and then followed with his attack on President Roosevelt. He foresaw a "hell on earth" as the result of an adomin 1st ration "with fool's dream in finance and a Judas Iscariot deal in morals, which never yet has given one glance at the moral welfare of the people of the nation." "Hstory will say Thomas Jefferson signed the declaration of independence. George Washington the constitution, James Monroe the Monroe doctrine, Abraham Lincoln the emancipation proclamation, Theodore Roosevelt the treaty between Japan and Russia, Calvin Coolidge, the Coolodge peace pact. Wood row Wilson the world pesce pact, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt the beer bill." be eaid.

(JP) A possible court test loomed today as North Dakota got ready to put into effect at midnight its embargo on wheat shipments. The embargo, ordered by Governor William Langer, is intended to raise the grain price paid the farmer. Legal advisers of railroads operating in North Dakota are meeting in St Paul to see what action, if any, will be taken. Although declining to make any statement after a meeting yesterday, the railroad men indicated they would prefer the grain trade to step in and test the legality of the embargo through court action. They said if they began an open fight they might incur the enmity of Governor Langer.

Heading the conference yesterday were F. E. Doherty, vice-president and genera manager of the Great Northern; D. E. Lyons, general counsel for the Northern Pacific, and H.

S. Mitchell, general counsel for the Soo Line. Meanwhile an effort by Governor Langer to induce other wheat producing states to join in the embargo has thusfar met with no success. The states he asked to lend support were Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas. Minneapolis grain dealers said the embargo had no influence on the grain market Tuesday.

Some of the grain men, both at Minneapolis and Fargo, said they agreed with the statement by the attorney general of Nebraska that the embargo was illegal because it affected interstate commerce. Governors of three of the six states who were sent messages' by Governor Langer urging them to join in the movement had previously Indicated they would not do so. They were Governors Olson of Minnesota, Tom Berry of South Dakota and Claude L. Herring of Iowa. Fechner Approves Plans For Indian CCC Forest Camps WASHINGTON, Oct.

18. (JP) Expenditures of 4,000,000 for the operation and maintenance of Indian reforestation camps on 68 reservations during the next six months to provide employment for Indians and to improve their land was approved today by Robert Fechner, director of emergency conservation work. The program was formulated by John Collier, commissioner of Indian affairs who said, "The Indian emergency work program will continue for another six months. I predict that the total expenditure of about $10,000,000 will, before next May 1, have added to the measurable capital value of the Indian lands not less than $20,000,000." Fechner estimated that 14,400 Indians would be given employment during the winter months on projects in the forests, including fighting fires, construction of trails, lookout houses, telephone lines, fencing and reforestation. i Weather and Roads Lead 38; partly cloudy roads good.

(Associated Press Photos) RENO ATTACKS CORN-HOG PLAN Farm Holiday President Says Wallace's Scheme Is "Economic Idiocy" DES MOINES, Oct. 18. (JP) Milo Reno, national president of the Farm Holiday association, last night struck out against the corn-hog production plan announced by Secretary Wallace. Reno said, "As to the Wallace hog and corn program, it is fundamentally un sound. In order to establish a bal ance between production and consumption he proposes to establish a balance between production and con sumption fie proposes diminishing production 25 per cent to bring it down to meet present consumption, with 20 per cent of our people hungry, and were it possible for his program to be made effective we would continue to have one-fifth of our population hungry.

Cer tain restaurants, cafes and hotels are granted the right to serve alcoholic beverages. Many places are still dry, so that neither beer, wine nor spirits may be sold or served, but importation of these beverages for personal use is allowed. Since it is difficult in many rural districts to obtain legal liquor, "moon-shining" is practiced to a certain extent. Liquor prices are high, in many cases being prohibitive for the common people, which has been one of the contributory causes to the illegal distilling. Norway's prohibition period dated from December.

1916, and in the succeeding years the nation experienced a wave of smuggling, illegal trading in liquor, establishment of private stills, crime and deaths caused by the consumption of poisonous substitutes. After a plebiscite in 1926. in which a big majority voted against prohibition, the law was repealed. Since then the number of arrests for intoxication has steadily decreased, though It has not reached the low pre-war figure, and smuggling was practically stopped immediately.

H. Over, curator of the University of South Dakota museum, has been unearthed near De Smet. The skull was dug from a gravel pit near Lake Thompson by Roy Johnson. De Smet old timers who examined it thought it might be evidence of a battle supposedly fought in that Yictaity by friendly Indians attempting to punish Inkapaduta for the Spirit Lake massacre. Mr Ovrr examined the skull and repudiated such theories as there were no other shells or weapons found to line this one up with the battle mentioned.
