TTTE MORNING OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1910. REVENUE BUREAU ASKS NATION'S AID Local Officers Expected to Enforce Dry Law. FEDERAL OFFICERS WATCH AL KADER PATROL ADDS JAZZ , TO SPECIAL ALCAZAR SHOW Tonight and Tomorrow Xight Last Chances to See Prominent Port landers in Wild Frolic GAN yo color, sonat Citizens, Churches, Civic Bodies, Welfare Societies, Called on to Uphold Prohibition. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. Law-abiding- citizens, churches, civic organiza tions and welfare societies were sum moned tonight by Commissioner Roper to aid the bureau of internal revenue in enforcing the prohibition enforce ment law. Any flouting of the law, Mr. Roper declared, would bring into disrepute the American form of gov ernment. While the bureau is made the agency directing the enforcement of the meas ure, with the department of justice conducting prosecutions on evidence obtained by the bureau's men, respon sibility is not confined to federal of ficers, the commissioner said. State, county and municipal officials are ex pected to do a full share in stopping and punishing violations and the suc cessful administration of the law, Mr. Roper said, will be measured largely by the manner in which these offi cials meet their requirements. Local officers being expected to take the initiative in enforcing the law in their territory, any failure or derelection to assume their full re sponsibility will be brought to the at tention of the law-abiding citizens of the community by officials of the bu reau. Separate Staff Planned. Mr. Roper's plans contemplate the organization of a prohibition enforce ment staff which will be devoted en tirely to that work and completely dissociated from the tax collection ac tivities of the bureau. There will be a deputy commissioner in Washington in charge of the prohibition section and deputy collectors in each district with an efficient force of men under them. Pending the organization of this employes qualified for the work who can be spared from the tax work of the bureau, have been directed to co-operate to the fullest extent with the public and local officials. To prevent delay, collectors and agents have been instructed to con fer with United States district at torneys with regard to co-operation- in obtaining and presenting evidence. "The national prohibition act is now the law of the land," said Commis sioner Roper. "It makes the bureau of internal revenue the directing agency in the enforcement of both war-time prohibition and prohibition under the constitutional amendment. The secretary and the commissioner of internal revenue urgently expressed to both committees of congress the hope that this important responsibili ty would not be imposed on the treas ury department, burdened as it is with fiscal and revenue matters. Con gress decreed otherwise and the de partment purposes to respond in the fullest degree to its duty. Co-Operation la Asked. "Not to enforce prohibition thor oughly and effectively would reflect upon our form of government and would bring into disrepute the repu tation of the American people as law : abiding citizens. "Close co-operation between federal and state, county and municipal offi cers is of the utmost importance. Col lectors have been instructed to get in touch with governors and mayors in each state and request their co-operation in urging upon sheriffs and all other local officials the vital neces sity of their immediately assuming their responsibilities under the new act. "We expect unreserved co-operation from those moral agencies which are so vitally interested in the proper administration of this law. Such agencies include churches, civic or ganizations, educational, charitable and philanthropic societies and other welfare bodies. "We undertake the task entrusted to us with a sense of assurance prompted by the same abiding faith . in the American people that enabled us to appeal to them successfully in the enforcement of the war revenue laws. The public has supported us so nobly in tax matters that we are confident it will not fail to respond in the en forcement of a measure which, like the income tax, is now a part of the constitution of the United States. I look forward to such enforcement of prohibition as will sustain the maj esty of the law and the honor of American citizens and American institutions." ou picture a perfect riot of grace and beautiy lmper- ated by a company of "lead ing citizens" all dolled up as a beau ty chorus? Can you imagine Cal Stone, whom the public regards as an authority on railroads, a man of great mentality and business Judg ment, frolicking gaily in an aesthetic dance in regular Pavlowa costume? But no mere man or woman can imagine all this. Seein' is believin". And the audience that filled the Al cazar last night saw one of the mer riest and most spectacular specialty shows ever put on the boards. It was the first of a series of three performances that are sponsored by the Al Kader patrol. Tonight and tomorrow an oppor tunity will be offered for all who love a good time and some genuine hilarity to get in line and scramble for a seat for this big ana enter taining event. Well, Noble Sid G. Noles was a star performer in his marvelous gowns that have driven all the ex clusive dressmakers hysterical to fin ish for the occasion, but Noble Sid wasn't the entire show, either. He had to share honors with the Harem Dancers in their splashy, dashy, danc ing frocks in all the latest alluring effects. And though Noble Sid got a roar and a storm of applause he had to bow for the dozenth time and step back to allow the "Chanters" a chance. Chorus Adda Jau. This Shrine singing chorus added all the Jazz necessary to the show. In addition to having voices of qual ity and style they are "regular ac tors" and could keep the wolf from the door any old day singing their specialties. The play the clever Alcazar com pany is putting on is "Leave It to Jane." Jane (Mabel Wilber) was per fectly lovely and fascinating in her part, and the play possesses many charms and much college zip, and with the added attractions presented by the Al Kader patrol, it was in dorsed unanimously as "some show." Between acts one and two the Chant ers appeared under the direction of William Robinson Boone, and theirs was an artistic offering. The Al Kader dancing girls in mar velously rich and colorful .costumes include Nobles Lou Centro, Robert Farrell. Ted Wood. George Mettler and Sid Noles, directed by that wizard of directors. Noble Robert Krohn. It was such a chorus as the Multnomah club used to put on a score of years ago when Bert Farrell and Bob Krohn were "Just youngsters." Boone Directs Chanters. W. R. Boone directed the Chanters, who wore "becoming evening suits" and fez (caps). A. E. Davidson is president of the Chanters: J. B. Keefer. secretary, and E. N. Wheeler, treasurer. And the members are E. D. Barton, Roscoe Bell, W. B. Belhune, A. B. Caughey. G. H. Cramer. R. E. Fulton. Louis Gerlinger Jr.. Walter Gill. G. Haynor, C. H. Henney. W. H. Holt, A. K. Houghton. H. T. Hutchin son. W. S. Klein. E. E. McCullock. C. Vt. Patterson. W. E. Pearson, W. F. Stilz, A. L. Stone. N. B. Stone, E. N. Strong and T. Williams. Nor must the Al Kader band be omitted, for it is a dashing, inspiring adjunct to the temple and to any enterprise It fosters. J. L. Hammersley is presi dent. But it was not an all-Al Kader specialty affair. Two most lovely girls. Louise Hatfield, toe dancer, and Marie Gammie. Russian dancer, in appropriate, modest and girll3h a. did a highly artistic bit of danc ing. Hatehlnson Oets Credit. Theic was a special programme for the evening and it waa arranged by Hal Hutchinson, who. too, deserves credit. He'd better look out or they'll be getting him to arrange the pro gramme for all big Shrine affairs, so well does he do his part. Modestly, near the end of the story should be mentioned the general chairman. Herman Von Borstel. Others on committees to assist in making the affair a success are Robert Krohn. W. Honeyman, M. J. B. Ten nant, Robert Gordon. Charles Good man. Alex Oliver. W. R. Boone, Hugh Boyd, Mark Woodruff and W. J. Hof mann. Al Kader Temple patrol has as officers William Davis, captain; H. T.

National Legislation of the Meat Packing Industry 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Will not increase the amount of meat you can buy for a dollar. Will not raise more animals. Will not produce more meat. Will not stop fluctuations in live-stock receipts or prices. Will not increase the output of the packing houses. Will not prevent strikes. Will not reduce transportation charges. Will not reduce the retailer's cost of doing business. Will not increase the demand for the cheaper cuts of meat. Will not lessen the consumers demand for ex pensive delivery and credit service. Can not at the same time raise prices paid farmers for live stock, and lower prices paid by consumers for meat. But the slowing up of efficiency due to cumbersome governmental routine will have the effect of increasing' the manufacturing charges between the cost of live -stock and the cost of meats, thus forcing lower live-stock prices or higher meat prices. ; The packing industry as now conducted, is characterized by keen competition, highest efficiency, and unusually low profits. 10 11 Let us send you a Swift "Dollar."
