75 per Cent for Repeal of
Dry law, Less Than one
For Wines and Beer .
By LOUI3 P. LOCHNER
HELSINGFORS. Finland. Dec
31 (AP) Prohibitionists and
anti-prohibitionists alike admitted
tonight as the returns came In
from the country-wide referen
dum that 1932 is likely to be a
wet year for Finland.
In the former parliament build
ing 610 clerks worked In three
shirts to tabulate the vote and by
nine o'clock their count of about
one-fifth the total vote indicated
75 per cent were for repeal of the
present prohibition laws, 24.2 per
cent voted to retain the laws and
0.8 ner cent tor modification to
permit the sale of light wines and
beer.
Sixty per cent of the repeal
votes in early returns in this city
were cast by women.
The largest newspaper In Hels
Ingfors estimated on the basis of
its own poll In various sections of
the country that the final vote
would show a 68 per cent major
ity for repeal.
The trend was disappointing to
prohibition Quarters, but the lead
ers of that faction Indicated a de
termination to continue their
tight against alcohol.
Helslnxfors celebrated. New
Tear's eye with liquor in evidence
in almost every restaurant ana
hotel. No effort was made to con
ceal the contents of bottles and
glasses and the waiters openly
asked the patrons what brand of
champagne, wine or cordial they
preferred.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31 (AP)
New York pitched a party for the
Infant year 1932 with its tradl
tional din and an undertone of
police whistles
A series of recent raids led by
federal prohibition agents was cli
maxed in the afternoon by an in
vasion of one of the most gilded
mid-town establishments. The
Royal Box, with two glistening
bars and a circular staircase, was
raided while Its chefs were roast
ing fat turkeys in preparation for
the New Year s eve festivities
Thsrfl wnre the usual celebra.- I
tions in the hotels catering to
dancing couples, silk-hatted thea-
ter goers' and their orchid-studded
companions. But the couverts
were reduced sharply.
The lower prices, said the pro
prietors in unison, brought the
crowds crowds eager to make
merry, to dance under 1 shifting
lights and to blow tin horns in an
ticipation of a gladder 1932.
Broadway, as always, was the
scene of the people's celebration

who enjoy the abandon of glitter

DEMOCRAT TARIFF
WASHINGTON, Dec 31 (AP)
A democratic tariff measure Is
to do given legislative rigm oi
way in the House next week with
a tax Increase bill to come up as
soon thereafter as possible.
Determined to expedite House
action on these and other econom
ic measures, democratic leaders
plan to submit the tariff proposal
to the Joint senate-house policy
committee on Monday.
The advisory group Is expected
to approve the proposal drafted
during the Christmas holidays by
Speaker Garner, Senator Harrison
of Mississippi ranking democrat
on the senate finance committee.
Representative Rainey of Illinois,
democratic house leader and
Chairman Collier of the house
ways and means committee.
With approval, Chairman Col
lier will introduce the bill and
immediately call his committee to
gether to consider the measure.
Hearings are not expected to oc
cupy much time la view of the
fact that the rate schedules are
not to be opened.
Although no formal announce
ment of the plans were made, Gar
ner conceded today that the tariff
might possibly" be considered
by the house before the ways and
means ; committee completes the

from ten one-hundredths of one

to 12.84 per cent tor the port of

According to the tabulation
prepared by Holman. the In

The ratios of Indebtedness of
the several port districts to the
respective assessed valuations In
nearly all cases are only about
one-half of the total statutory
debt limitation for port districts.
The debt ratios of the various
districts, with the exception of
the port or Astoria are below
per cent of the assessed valua
tions, which places the bonds of
the districts in virtually the same
position as bonds of school dis

of the districts.
School districts are permitted
by law to bond themselves to an
amount not exceeding 5 per cent
