Government money to deal with. honesty, as of the country will see to it without partisanship governing this side or that. It will bring about a proper administration of money that will be tremendous advantage, but it will not be done by violence, or by talk or by, I should say, hysterical harangue.

Plans to Share $2.60 with States WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-- (A. -The Administration's three point liquor tax program will be placed before Congressional committees tomorrow in the the the the face of strong opposition to the recommended $2.60 gallon levy on distilled spirits. Views of the Administration are to be submitted by Treasury and Federal Alcohol Control Administration of officials during four days of hearings before a joint session of Senate Finance and House Ways and Means Committee. The Administration's liquor tax program includes, besides the $2.60 levy, sharing of the revenue with the states and authority for the President to negotiate reciprocal trade agreements with foreign liquor exporting countries.

It proposes that states agreeing not to impose special liquor levies receive 20 per cent of the revenue gathered on the Federal levy. Each state would be entitled to share on the basis of production, plus consumption of alcoholic beverages with respect to total domestic production and consumption. States levying gallonage taxes would not share in the Federal revenue. Their allotments would be retained by the Treasury. Harvard Finds Jezebel's Ahab Was a Chiseler CAMBRIDGE, Dec.

10- (A.P.) -The might of wicked Queen Jezebel she who painted her face -as told in the Old Testament, is verified by announcement from Harvard University of a massive granite tower in her capital city, Samaria. The tower, buried more than 2,000 years ago, was uncovered and excavated to its foundations by an expedition headed by Dr. Kirsopp Lake, professor of history at Harvard. The tower gives an impressive idea of the strength of Jezebel's city. Studies of Prof.

Lake show that Jezebel's husband, Ahab, king of Northern Israel, maintained on trade route by way of his capital between India and the Mediterranean, then the world's great marts. He chiseled this route, Prof. Lake says, away from competition of Egypt one side and Assyria on the other. Tyre was the important Mediterranean seaport, and Jezebel was one of the princesses, The Elijah prophesied the Baal-worshiping Jezebel's death at the of Jehu. Elijah's successor, Elisha, acted in fulfillment of the prophecy.

Ahab's son Joram had become king when Jehu, a captain of the host, rebelled. Jezebel and Joram were at their summer capital, from the protection of the citadel, when Jehu drove up and killed Joram. The Bible then tells how Jezebel "painted her face and tied her head" and looked out of a window at Jehu and called him names. Jehu shouted back, "Who is on my side?" And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs. And he said, "Throw her down." And they threw her down.

There Jehu trod her to death under his horses. Michigan Pen Riot Predicted U. S.

There seems to be no made to correct chronic. disciplinary cases at Marquette Prison, the report declares, and the State Reformatory at Ionia has little justification for its designation as a reformatory. Michigan's parole system is censured as "disgraceful, reprehensible, niggardly, inadequate," and its neglect to provide paroled men with food and shelter during the first few days freedom leads inevitably to their return crime, the editors of the report declare. "The parole system of Michigan provides none of the requirements of modern parole work," one paragraph "The indeterminate sentences a are, as a matter of fact, not truly indeterminate, since the minimum recommended by the judge has the binding qualities of a definite sentence.

Col. William H. Price, the attorney general, settled question which has been worrying authorities on both sides of the border since Windsor officers ruled that they would refuse permit tourists to take liquor home to America.

The former refusal of to allow liquor to be taken out of the Province was based on its liquor code provision that it could be carried from a Government store to a legal residence--in Ontario. Col. Price's ruling is based on the law regarding purchases. Americans, like anybody else, may buy at Government stores if they have established a legal residence in Ontario. If they have another legal residence in America, then not let them transport the liquor to the other home? Col.

Price argues. A "small amendment" may be necessary to clarify the issue, he said. Detroiters will be permitted by United States authorities to take home a quart. of liquor a month free of United States duty.
