S3S OF ROVJJIvitW ROSEBURG, OREGON, RDAY. DECEMBER 19. 1925. " : X wag i VOL. XIII NO. KM) OP THS IVININO NtWl , r r HOUSE LISTENS TO VOLSTEAD LAW Wheeler Special Target of Vitriolic Speech by ' i Rep. Gallivan DRY ACT HELD FARCE Mitchell Verdict Is Also Grilled; Coolidge Is Censured Because of Coal Strike. , (AmhUd Tnm Iwri Win.) WASHINGTON. Dec. 19. The Volstead Act was assailed In the house today by Representative Vara, republican of Pennsylvania, as an unenforcabte law. "The people don't want to be bone dry," he said. "States and the federal government have spent millions trying to enforce the law and now admit failure." The Increasing consumption of booties;, liquor, he said, proved , that the dry law was breaking down all law enforcement. He ad vocated legalizing 1.75 per cent beer. Another attack on the dry re gime was delivered by Represent ative Gallivan. democrat, Masaa- chusetts. who denounced Wavne R Wheeler and the anti-Saloon league as the backbone of a "vicious sys tem which is destroying the sonl auu conscience or America. "There are certain organizations, - some of which have the audacity to characterise themselves "churches" and branches of the Christian religion." said Mr. Gllll van. "As a matter of fact, we Insrn lhal Ihiia ! aggregations of gieertv hint with ecclesiastical titles.'' "These political and quasl-rellgl- ous organizations scotr at the Holy scriptures: they preach to their credulous and Ignorant rabble fol lowers the miracle that changed water Into wine was a crime and they believe they can repeat the miracle of the loaves and fishes by capturing' the treasury of the coun try. "These dancing Dervishes of the American branch of Mahomet's re ligion constitute the vociferous army of prohibition shock troops." Wheeler, he said, could now rise In his place," and say, with one of our Lord Castlereagb's devoted dis ciples, 'thank God. I have a coun try to buy and sell!' " Concluding his speech. Repre sentative Gallivan told the house a dry member had threatened him In the cloakroom today that if he made the speech he would not be returned to congress. "Well, I have made It," he said, "and I challenge Wayne Wheeler and his whole army to come up to my district and read that speech." Democrats Back Mitchell. The Mitchell court martial case came to the floor of the house for the first time today when Repre sentative Tillman, democrat, Ar kansas, charged that the court was organized to "get the colonel," and that Its verdict "Insults free Amer ica." "I call upon the' granite-faced and granite-souled President of this Justice-loving nation." he said, "to mitigate or quash this harsh sentence." The court's edict, suspending the nlr officer from rank and pay for five years because of his attack on government aviation policies. Mr. Tillman continued, waa shameless, unusual and cruel. "They sought to affix a gag." he said, ''and at the same time Im poverish bim and his family. It seems thst in this trial the usual military procedure waa not allow ed to take Its ordinary course." Meets SunfieM's Request. Introduction by Senator stanfleld of Oregon of a resolution asking an Investigation of the federal power commissions approval of a project to dsm the Columbia River near Priest Rapids, brought an ex planation from the engineers of the commission today that the license called for construction of fish ways at an expense not to exceed $360, 000. Senator Stanfleld feels that to dam the river without protecting salmon spswnlng would destroy hair the spawning area of the riv er. The engineers said that they felt a 1300.000 expenditure for fish ways was adequate for that pur pose. The dam la proposed by a power company. F-fn Relief Plan.
