10 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON WEDNESDAY. MARCH 21, 1034 WASHINGTON'S LIQUOR CONTROL LAW HELD VALIO Olympia, March Jl If) - The state's new tlyuor control act paw td its first court test with flying colors today. Judge John M. Wilson of the Thurston county superior court, rul ing on a suit attacking the valid ity of the measure from many angles, held the "law withstands all the constitutional assaults made against It." The suit attacking the liquor law was brought by groups of druggists and hotel operators. They sought an order permanently enjoining the Washington liquor control board from carrying out the provisions of the act. The plaintiffs, at the lower court bearing on the suit March 12, In dicated they intended to expedite an appeal to the state supreme court should they lose In the lower court. The supreme court has set April 6 as a tentative date for a bearing on an appeal. Judge Wilson In effect sustained the board's general demurrer con tending the facts alleged In the complaint were Insufficient to con stitute a cause of action. One of the major contentions of the plaintiffs was that the act vio lates the Initiative and referendum amendment to the state constitu tion. Bargain prlcej on hard liquor during the remainder of this week may be In order as the result of a ruling today by the liquor control board. The board announced it does not Intend to purchase stocks of li quors on hand In drug stores after the state liquor stores are opened for business next Saturday. AH purchases of liquor for state stores have been completed, board members said. Left-over stocks in drug stores, however, can be chipped out of the state for sale elsewhere, Rear Ad miral Luther E. Gregory, board chairman, said. Chairman Gregory also pointed out that the board, under the state liquor act. has the power to confiscate Illegal stocks of liquor. On and after March 24 the board, through its system of state liquor stores, will be the only agency through which hard liquors can be retailed legally, except by pre scription at drug stores. Prescrip tion liquor, however, must be pur chased from the board. ASK $9,282,561 FROM DOHENY Los Angeles, March 21 IP Recov ery of $9,282,561 from Edward L.

Lyons Mrs. Dell Westenhouse and daughter Charmatne, with Mr. and Mrs. George Westenhouse of Sclo visited at the Kenneth Westen house home in Junction City Sunday, BURIAL FIRM GOES TO WALL Helena, Mont., March 21 I7P) Montana assets of the Merrill Mor tuaries, Inc., will be distributed among Its nearly 2.000 stockholders in the state, United Stales District Judge George M. Bourquin said In a decision in the move of stock holders to obtain an accounting of the firm's funds. The concern sold burial insur ance. It is the power and duty of the court, Judge Bourquin held, to wind up the business of the concern and distribute its property. He pointed out it could not be dissolved because it Is already In receivership. He described the securities which the firm disposed of in Montana as "less than a lien on a flock of wild geese.' "The defendant is the mere alter ego of (Charles) Merrill in a nefar ious scheme to overreach its Mon tana stockholders," the decision read. "That is one more of preda tory Utah corporations which In lo cal history in Montana have found green pastures, happy hunting grounds, the land of milk and hon ey. Is clear." "The marvel," it continued, "is the ease with which their fly-by-night pressuro salesmen separate people and money for pseudo 'se c uric ties' less than a hen on a flock of wild geese." Such sales of securities, the judge remarked, "excite wonder" in the "astonished and cynical observer" that anyone should "choose to travel the rugged road of honesty." Tlie stockholders contended of ficials of the company had diverted its funds to their use. The method to be followed In dis tributing the assets was not men tioned in the decision.

More Chevrolets are now being produced than any other make of auto mobile in the world. And today, Chevrolet Is happy to report that all its dealers will soon be in a position to make immediate deliveries. When you consider bow short a time the new Chevrolet has been in production when yon consider, also, that the 1931 car Ib not last year's model improved, but a basically new automobile, with sweeping changes in design this production record becomes somewhat of an accomplishment. But, a still greater ac complishment, in our opinion, is the uxsy that these cart hare all been produced!

The result! When yon place your order for a new Chevrolet, youH not only get a big, rugged "Knee-Action" car you're also assured of getting a typical Chevrolet car in economy, dependability and long life.
