Prohibition Put on Mat in Senate; Battle is Ahead Howell Bill for Drastic District En forcement Order of Business; Wets Planning Test. 4 Washington, Jan. 23. Prohibition was put on the mat in the senate to- ; night and a thorough thrashing out j of this controversial issue is ahead, I By a vote of 39 to 29. the senate (agreed to make the Howell bill estab lishing a drastic enforcement act tor I a i - m v. : i 1 .. e Lilt? i ' i - i : : '. i ui uiuiuuia i ue ui u e i ui business. Already amendments are pending to authorize 4 per cent beer and to provide life imprisonment for dry law violators. Wets are nlanniiiK to use the measure as a Vehicle for testing many propositions, including some recommendations of the Wickersham commission, but they concede they are hopelessly outnumbered. A prelude to the prospective pro hibition outburst was heard late to : day at Senator Howell (rep.. Neb.), j author of the measure, pictured a flow of rum into the capital in ask 1 ing consideration of tho bill. Laughter at Proposal. . Senator Tydings (dem., Md.) told Howell that if his bill were put to a vote of the people in the capital they would reject it three to one. It was Tydings who proposed, amid laugh ter, that provision be made for life imprisonment of dry violators. Senator Bingham (rep.. Conn.) of j ered the amendment to increase the , alcoholic content of beer from of j 1 per cent to 4. Senator Watson of Indiana, the re publican leader, voted against taking up the Howell measure, which had been given privileged status by the I republican steering committee. He said he saw no opportunity for its passage at this session. While the wets generally voted against considering the bill, such pro , hibitionists as Senators Borah. I (Idaho) and Smoot (Utah) joined in the opposition. They urged that the senate proceeded to relief legislation. Declaring Washington police were I BOW without adequate authority to i enforce the prohibition law. Howell said the chairman of an entertain- ment committee for a recent conven tion in Washington ordered nine thousand quarts of liquor. Cites Violations. "Hundreds of thousands of quarts of liquor are brought into the city annually on diplomatic permits." continued the Nebraskan. "I learned that from one foreign distillery 13 thousand quarts of diplomatic liquor had come into Washington in three months, enough to provide 20 quarts of every diplomat and member of his household, down to the maids and janitors. Howell cited instances of violations of the law which he had encountered. He said he had been informed by the district attorney here that he would not prosecute any person for carry ing a pint of liquor. The Howell bill includes a pre vision permitting search and seizures in homes under conditions to which Attorney General Mitchell has object ed. Senator Watson said this con flicted with the recommendation of the Wickersham commission. Howell replied it would not "be cause that was a recommendation concerning the entire country; this would be merely a polite regulation of the District of Columbia." The contest may bring into action for the first time the two new advo cates of repeal in the senate Sen ators Marrow (rep.. N. J. ) and Bulk ley (dem., O.) World-Herald. HOUSE INQUIRY IS ENDED Washington Ten months' inves tigation of railroad holding compan ies has been completed by the house interstate commerce committee. Its report, including a complete picture of the financial Structure of every railroad in the United States, will be made public next week. The inquiry 'was ordered by the house on the re- commendation of the interstate com merce commission, with a view to formulating legislation to extend the arm of federal regulation around holding and trust companies. Chairman Parker of the commit tee said Friday there was scant pos sibility of final action on the legis lation at this session. Recommenda tions will be heard early next week, however, from the staff of experts who have conducted technical phases of the investigation under the direc tion of Dr. W. M. W. Splawn. a member of the Texas railroad com mission. A separate study of holding companies, with recommendations for possible restriction or prohibition, is included in the report.

(Seal) j26-3w County Judge. Barge and Bus Laws Urged at Rollins Parley Hoover's Leadership in Railroad Mergers Declared Outstand ing Achievement Winter Park, Fla.. Jan. 8. De claring the part played by President Hoover, in respect of railroad con solidation, as worthy of high prai- . Dr. William Z. Ripley, professor of political economy at Harvard Uni versity, addressed a large gathering at the Institute of Statesmanship here last night OB the subject of "Another Railroad Crists." Round tables of the day were given over to discussion of "Chain and Branch Banking," "What of the Chain Store?" and "Government Policy and Husiness Depression." "The rise of the airplaae, compe tition on th highways by bus and truck, a great program of federal wateeway development, the promo tion of pipe lines for long-distance iarriage of fuels, and impending Changes in the use and application of coal are new factors that have brought the railroads to another cri sis which must mean a turning point." stated Dr. Ripley. "Legislative action to apply the 'same sort of regulation to the bus land truck and the barge as have been iimposet upon the carriers by' rail irather than the subsidization of rail- ioads, is the only sound social polity for remedies from without the in dustry," he explained. "Bus and truik lines should he legally held to account as common carriers. Their service both as to safety, speed, public convenience and even hours of service for employees, should be standardized by law, to encourage the survival of the fittest vehicle for each service according to its merits. "The activity and leadership of President Hoover toward overcoming the obstacles in the way of corporate rearrangements, in my judgment, will go down, historically, as one'of the outstanding achievements of his Administration." Dr. Ralph E. Heilman of North western University addressed a discussion-group on the subject of "Gov ernment and Business Depression." "It is doubtful," he said, "whether government, or any other agency. I can eliminate periods of economic de gression, because of the nature of the causes which precipitate such per I iods. j "Government collection and dis semination of economic information. long-time planning and control of 'public works, the reduction of unem ployment, better and nation-wide co ordination of public and private em ployment agencies, the modification jfif Federal Reserve policies to meet I c hanging economic conditions, hay all prove helpful factors in moderat ing tbe severity of these periods and in ameliorating the evil results when these periods occur," he said. Limitations tending to curb the future growth and the extent of the ultimate expansion of chain store ! systems, were entitled, yesterday afternoon, by Dr. Clyde W. Phelps, head of the department of economics 'in the University of Chattanooga. Among these limitations. Dr. Phelps dwelt on what he termed a "well-recognized recent growth in merchandising efficiency on the part of the independents." and a "remark able growth of voluntary cooperation nViong retilera and wholesalers. One voluntary group of 9000 independent grocery retailers," said Dr. Phelps, claims to have the second largest total volume of sales in the food in dustry, the Atlantic & Pacific gro cery chain having the largest. The great growth of voluntary groups started later than that of the chains. jbut it has he -ii no less remarkable." Touching on the alleged disadvan tages of the chain system. Dr. Phelps gave as nis opinion tliat tne real social disada vantage is the destruc tion of individuality, individual ini tiative, personal responsibi lty and self-reliance in a large field of Ara- erlcan life by fitore managers ' We defend said, "because the substitution of for store owners, these qualities," he we believe in the soundness of the social principle that machines are made for men and not men for machines; that DM n should work in order to live, not live in or der to work: that men do not exist for the purpose of serving Industry and business, but thai Industry and business exist for the purpose of making men. "We must remind OUrSSlvej that we have as yet no trustworthy evi dence to the effect that chains are superior to Independent! in economic efficiency." said Dr. Phelpe. "We do not regard the 'chain' system as the preferable and desirable system of merchandising because we tV I that the voluntary system of 00" operating independent stoic OWBSn can meet the 'chain' on its own ground in the field of economic efli dency and that it offsets the social disadvantages of the 'chain' with points of social superiorit ." "The 'chains.' admittedly falltnf far short of perfection as an in tin ment of distribution," dec hired Free man Tilden, author, of Warner. N. H., "are producing, at a rapid rate, the one thing vitally necessary for any improvement in our economy an adequate supply of expert man agement. Far more than selling at a lower price, in better ordertl of fresher merchandise, mainly for cash we have to thank them for this gift to the future." FOR SALE A few White Rock Roosters, SI each.

Ballot Box Seizure Pro posal Blocked Chaiges Made That Nye Group "Sup ervised and Influenced Elections" Motion by Norris. Washington, Jan. 21. Charges that the Nye campaign funds com mittee had supervised and influenced senatorial elections last fall were made and denied in the senate today during debate on the Norris resolu tion to extend the committee's pow er to seize ballot boxes of those elec tions. The assertions were made by demo crats, who blocked action on the pro posal of Senator Norris (rep., Neb.) with arguments that no such au thority should be granted unless con tests were filed. The resolution is designed to pave the way for seizing the ballot, boxes in Alabama, where Senator Heflin charges the election was "stolen" from him. Both Heflin and John EL Bankheadfl who defeated him have urged an investigation, and the Nye eomiaittee has investigators there now. Senator Caraway (dem.. Ark.), in opposing the resolution, said the Nye committee and its investigators had gone into certain states last fall and "supervised and influenced" "the election. Senator Nye (rep., N. D. ), chair man of the committee, said the charge was "unfair," and that all his committee was endeavoring to do was to ascertain if those in charge of the campaign were "doing their duty."
