Keg vs.Bottle—The house passed
H. R. 8870 today with about 100
voting against it. This is a bill
known as the “Federal Alcohol
Control Act.” It opens a new bur
eau with the new administrator
getting ten thousand dollars a year
and expenses when he is traveling.
It also provides for appointment of
a lot of new government office
holders. Those opposing it did so
on grounds that the new appointees
should be selected on the basis of
civil service, that they should not
be selected because they have been
political party workers. ‘ The con
gressmen also voted against the
bill because ^discriminates against
the corn farmer by allowing black
strap molasses to come in to com
pete with farm grains and that it
allows the importation of foreign
liquors. Anyway, the bill carried
and goes to senate now for futher
fighting. It will be back in the
house when the senate gets its
turn at the bat. It was really a
fight between congressmen who
represent districts where bottles
are made and congressmen who
live in districts where barrels are
made. The bill alfows sale by the
barrel or keg and the barrel men
didn’t want to allow the distilleries
to use thebarrelsfor whiskey again
and the bottle congressmen didn’t
want the cooperage men to get any
advantage. One congressmen said
on the floor of the house he was
going to vote with the bottle con
gressmen because he had read in
the good book that it was not right
to put new wine in old bottles and
so he favored a law against using
old bottles after they had been once
emptied of liquor. Much was said
how the bill might help the boot
legger because it allows dealing
out of kegs in ‘‘bonafide hotels or
clubs.” Many congressmen feel
most any bootlegger can organize a
club. The administrator and his
politically appointed helpers will
decide what is to be a bonafide ho
tel or club. Restaurants, cafes and
taverns are left out of the bill so
far as sales out of barrels are
concerned.
Bonus Army Again — Another
bouns army is in Washington. A
thousand men with a leader who
has a broken spine and a flag bear
er who carries a fish pole with the
Stars and Stripes tied to the top of
the pole. They want their bonus
paid now out of the five billion dol
lar works relief funds. They tell
Nebraska men that they don’t want
to be on charity any more. They
feel they have the money coming;
that Uncle Sam should pay it out
of the big fund because he will pay
them some of it anyway and that
much of it will be wasted. They
ask the Nebraska men why Uncle
Sam can’t save money by paying
it to them now out of his big fund?
They believe 100 per cent of it
would go to the soldiers wrho have
it coming; that Uncle Sam would
not have to pay any overhead ex
penses to high salaried politicians
with the money; that the soldiers
could pay their debts; buy a little
farm or something and the govern
ment would be done with them
forever. They are told they can’t
stay around the capitol grounds
and the police send them away and
now they are camped around the
city. Most of these men are from
eastern states. Congress talking
to them told them to be orderly and
to obey the commands of the police
to get off the capitol grounds but
the congressmen also told them
that under the constitution they
still have the right of free assemb
lage and free speech and the right
to petition.
Fisherme n—Leigh Reynolds
writes from Norfolk that three Ne
braska men caught fifty-one pounds
of catfish; that he and a party went
to Conger’s at Lake Ericson and
got their limit of crappies and a
few bass; and that Bo Schmid and
the sportsmen at Schuyler are find
ing it nice and cool on an island on
the river. Nebraskans catching
hardheads in the Potomac river here
say the hardheads are too oily and
greasy. These hardheads need no
butter or lard for frying. They fry
in their own grease. They do not
taste as good as a mess of crappies
out of a nice cool Nebraska lake.
Tobacco Grading—The tobacco
growing farmers believe they are
being robbed by speculators and to
bacco experts and as a result H. R.
8026 to establish an official tobacco
inspection service is now being de
bated in the house. The sponsors
of the bill say that there are about
100 different grades of tobacco;
that the tobacco farmers do not
know personally more than four or
five different grades; that the to
bacco is brought to ware houses
and sold at the rate of one basket
every ten seconds; that the “expert
speculators” who know the grades
of tobacco make the bids so quick
that the farmers have to accept the
bid; as a result they lose from $10
to $20 per sale. The bill provides
that Uncle Sam should hire expert
graders whowould stamp the grade
of each farmer’s tobacco and fur
nish the farmer with a bulletin
showing just what that particular
grade of tobacco was selling for at
other warehouses in other states.
But the opponents of the bill say
that it is setting up another bureau
for the appointment of more poli
ticians and that the bill carries an
appropriation of $750,000 per year
of the taxpayers money.
Slow Moving—The house of rep
resentatives took all day Thursday
to work on the gold clause bill and
after passing it by a large vote
they adjourned until next Monday
because they didn’t have anything
•else to do. The members are told
that these three to four days recess
will be regular because the house
must wait on the senate and also
on%the committees which are hold
ing hearings on various bills which
are in the process of legislative
machinery. The real cause of de
lay is now the new tax bill pro
posed by the president and the
committee has already begun hear
ings on that bill altho the bill has
not yet been written.
Berry Pickers—A congressman
stated yesterday that the farmers
of New Jersey have lost about
$250,000 of their raspberry crop,
because they couldn’t find people
to harvest the berries. He states
that when these New Jersey farm
ers went out to hire people to pick
the crop, telling them they could
make about $2.00 a day, the work
ers said they would rather stay on
relief because if they took these
jobs as berry pickers they might
lose their status of obtaining help
from the relief organization.
